Summary
Sherlock has given up on life, just like everyone has given up on him. The decision to jump is only logical, but when he is about to take the final step, something happens. Something interesting or rather... someone interesting.
Blue eyes swam with tears as they looked down at the dark water once more. This time, he didn't hold them back, as they ran down his cheeks. No one was going to notice his swollen eyes, if his body was found at all. He was alone - always had been - and he would die alone.
"Excuse me, mind if I join you?"

Summary
Because words were magic, because they only would come out when they had the right feel and sound, he couldn’t say simple things like: Dad, leave Harry alone for once or Hey, Amy, do you fancy coming out to dinner with me?

Summary
Thirty-five was the established boundary, Sherlock decided after extensive calculations. He would be dead by thirty-five. That was the kind of man he was. That was the kind of life he lived.
At thirty-four, a year before his appointed rendezvous with oblivion, Sherlock met a man. Nobody special, or so he thought, an ordinary man--who soon proved extraordinary, a man who killed without hesitation to protect a life Sherlock cared nothing about.
***
This is the story of how Sherlock Holmes lived long enough to grow old.

Summary
Standing on his step was Anthony Havers. No longer Lieutenant. Captain? Major? Did it matter now that the war was over? No uniform, but rather a faded blue button up shirt with a loose camp collar, slimmer cut trousers, a holdover from fabric rationing, and dark leather shoes, a little careworn. He’d never seen Havers in anything other than a uniform or cricket kit.
James knew he looked awful, but he hadn’t expected to see it register in Havers’ face, the way surprise had subtly shifted to shock and pity. He nearly slammed the door shut in response.
- - -
Recovering, alone, from a nearly-fatal heart attack, James buries himself in his job, copyediting manuscripts. Anthony Havers, traumatized by the war, tries to make sense of his experience and his past at Button House by putting pen to paper.
