Summary
"What sense is there in pain at all--however we contrive it for ourselves as we cast about for ways to bind up the wound between us and God?"
-- Anne CarsonHe had thought he would talk about the cases. The children lost. The dubious decisions he’d made in order to do his job. Will and Feardorcha and Scarlet and God. He had at least believed he would have a word or two to say about God. Instead, when he’d started talking, he had talked about Robbie Lewis, about the ways he had allowed himself to change as Lewis’s Sergeant, and the ways he hadn’t even realized he’d changed by simply being, wanting to be, needing to be, a part of Robbie’s life.

Summary
John's true self expresses as a Wand and Sherlock's as a Sword, so whatever they are, they're perfectly matched. Except maybe Sherlock isn't entirely a Sword. This would bear examining, if it weren't for the murderer stalking Deaths.

Summary
Set right after Christmas, 4 months after Through the Clouds. John has a question he wants to ask. If he can ever work up the nerve.
The weight of time is pulling heavily on John’s heart of late. Short days and seemingly endless nights lend themselves to spending too much time pondering his future. Their future.
John leans forward to press a kiss to Sherlock’s forehead. When Sherlock’s eyes blink open and he smiles sleepily, a half-formed idea that had been niggling at the back of John’s mind sharpens into a certainty.

Summary
Not that long ago, Sherlock had said, "Mary and John: whatever it takes, whatever happens, from now on I swear I will always be there, always, for all three of you."
He is keeping his vow.
Following a catastrophic auto accident, John has been holding vigil at the hospital, where Mary is comatose in the ICU, and his premature daughter lies in the NICU. Sherlock is a constant presence at his side as John navigates a difficult situation and finds support in their friendship in solid, dependable ways.
++
Out of great difficulties can bloom tiny wildflowers of hope. The hard situations in life can show the true strength of a person, and of a friendship. Sometimes, great loss is necessary before true love can emerge to be fully appreciated.

Summary
When unhappy sixth-former John Watson meets the brilliant ex-Etonian Sherlock Holmes, he finds his heart spending more time in his mouth than in his chest. Soon, he's navigating a sea of unfamiliar desires, his father's alcoholic disapproval, and the jagged edges of his new friend's extraordinary mind. Sometimes, he learns, love is soft and safe; sometimes, it's blood and teeth and fists. But then again, so is secondary school.
