Summary
Sherlock is tired.
John senses a shift.◒
“I’m tired, John,” He murmurs. Barely a whisper. John swallows, feeling irrationally helpless.
“I can see that,” He responds quietly, tracing an eyebrow with the pad of his thumb. “Sleep, then,” He can hear the crack in his own voice—a perfect match for the one in his chest. He hopes that Sherlock won’t notice, won’t try to pick it all apart.
“Not what I meant,” He rumbles, as he drifts off and away, leaving John alone in wakefulness to wonder what the hell had just happened.

Summary
John hoped that a holiday away from Baker Street would clear his mind of a certain infuriatingly sexy and tragically disinterested consulting detective. So far, it hasn’t gone well.
It goes even less well after the consulting detective gives him a call.

After a serious incident aboard a starship, Commander Spock is demoted and transferred to a remote base where he must now serve with other "undesirables." He adjusts to his new rank and duties, and, while the future does look bleak, he is not ready to give up on himself or Starfleet yet.

When Jim is dying in the warp core, Spock does not interrupt him, and Because you are my friend is never said. In its place is an admission whose consequences Jim had not intended to live with. As it goes, he hadn’t exactly factored a miraculous resurrection into that one.

Summary
This is a story of what I'd like to think could've happened between the end of The Six Thatchers, through the end of The Lying Detective.
“I don’t know what you are offering, but I most certainly do not want your pity.”
“This is not pity. This is deep-seated concern. I worry for you, constantly. Here, by yourself, stuck in that amazing and also shit brain of yours. You barely eat, you rarely sleep. And now, we have a reappearance of THAT shit in our lives.”
“OUR lives?” You’re making me repeat myself, and you know how I loathe having to do that. You. Do. Not. Live. Here.”
“What if I did?” He said it so simply. Like it was the easiest answer to the easiest question humanity’s ever faced.

Summary
Somebody has been killing sheep on an uninhabited island just off the western coast of Ireland, and Sherlock—of course—can’t resist the call to investigate. As a soon-to-be-divorced John and a recently-not-dead Sherlock unravel the mystery of the murdered sheep, they find that they may be forced to confront unspoken sentiments that have lingered between the two them for some time—that is, if they don’t fall victim to the dangers of the island first.

Summary
John is too quiet. Sherlock whisks him away to the sea.
They sit in silence for long moments, watching the sun begin its descent into the horizon as the light slowly fades to a glorious gold. Their arms brush occasionally as they sip their stout, and Sherlock feels each touch like an open flame, waiting. For what, he's not sure.

Sitting on a thick wool blanket at the end of a rickety dock side-by-side, legs dangling over the edge, a styrofoam container of wet, dark dirt between them, they’re fishing.

John knows what this is about. This is about finally figuring it out.
