Summary
“A twenty foot fall is not nothing.” The Joxter’s quiet tone has taken a sharp turn. “If I hadn’t caught you—“
“But you did,” Snufkin says, his own hackles rising. “And I said thank you. There is nothing else to talk about.”
“We could talk about risking your life for an animal. A bluebird,” the Joxter says in distaste, “one of a hundred thousand bluebirds. What’s next? Will you help an injured creep cross the river? Save a squirrel kit from a landslide?”
An argument, Snufkin realizes, his stomach turning sour.

Summary
“So it wasn’t true then? What you said before?”
Snufkin blinks slowly at him. Moomin clarifies, “You told them you were spoken for.”
“Oh, yes. That’s true.”
Heartbreak is a physical thing, as it turns out. Moomin didn’t know that until now, looking at his best friend and great love and feeling like his whole chest is going to come apart.
“Oh,” he says. “I’m happy for you, Snufkin.”

Summary
Moomin takes one look at Snufkin-- in his usual seat on the railing of the bridge Papa made, clutching a fishing rod without a line, face half-buried in his scarf as if that might hide how cherry-red his fever flush is-- and blurts out, “You’re sick!”
“I’m not,” comes the immediate reply. But it comes in such a hoarse, croaky voice that Moomin is taken aback by the blatant untruth.

Summary
During the better part of the first year following Mary's death and the events at Sherrinford, Sherlock and John are slowly rebuilding their lives and their friendship.
All seems (relatively) well and John takes comfort in once again being a father, a doctor and a friend.
An unexplained shift in Sherlock's behaviour catches John by surprise, and he begins to worry about his place in his friend's life.
John has to examine everything he thought he knew about Sherlock, himself and their relationship in order to win his rightful place yet again.

Summary
It is not working. Whatever John was hoping to accomplish over these past six months, whatever he was hoping to prove by selling the little house he'd shared with Mary and returning to build a home out of the rubble of Baker Street has not come to pass. He is a welcome presence, but he is miserable.
As their personal and professional relationship slowly unravels under an intangible strain, a case forces Sherlock and John to spend the night inside the London Aquarium.

Summary
“This was like nothing John had ever thought to associate with Sherlock: stubble, skin-tight jeans and three small silver rings gleaming at the crest of one ear. It was unbelievable, like stepping into an alternative universe, and John couldn't stop staring.”
When Sherlock infiltrates a club in order to track down a serial killer, his altered appearance is enough to make John question his assumption that Sherlock is beyond his reach. However, is he the only one who appreciates his flatmate's charms, or is Sherlock at risk of becoming the next victim? (Warning: reviews may contain fic spoilers)

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
“And once again, you think you know what’s best for me.”
John rises from the chair, the anger and frustration and hurt overwhelming him, bursting out of every pore, and he doesn’t even know for sure that it’s Sherlock he’s angry at, really, but the only reason he tied himself to Mary in the first place is because the person he really loved left him behind, and the woman he married once sat in the shadows above a darkened swimming pool and aimed a sniper rifle at his heart and later shot his best friend in cold blood and cuckolded him and just gave birth to a child that wasn’t his and right now he just can’t do this, he just fucking can’t do this anymore.
***
John has to somehow rebuild his life in the wake of Mary's betrayal and Sherlock's deceptions.

Summary
“You really do suit undercover work. No wonder Mycroft kept you all to himself.”
The cutting jibe has its intended effect on Mycroft. The older Holmes clutches at his umbrella, his knuckles bleaching white.
After all, that’s how she got her hands on Sherlock in the first place.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
An over-zealous MI6 agent has put Sherlock and Mycroft in a corner. The only way out is for Sherlock to take on an insanely dangerous undercover mission, alone.
John deals with it in the same way he dealt with Sherlock being in danger the first day they met - with all guns blazing. This time, though, he's going to need a little help from his friends.

What happened while Mary was away searching for Ajay? Sherlock must have expected her to run - they did trace the memory stick, after all. He didn't, however, expect John to show up on his doorstep in the aftermath. Then again, the army doctor always has been the wild card.

Summary
"For Christmas Eve of John’s first year back at Baker Street, it’s not exactly the case he had been hoping would fall into their laps before Sherlock got bored and started shooting the walls - but the boredom never manifested and the case came anyway."
Sherlock has a rough go of it. John tries to make it better.

Summary
Clara's American father is the ambassador to some such territory that Great Britain probably used to own, but she (and Harry’s undying love for her) is the reason John is getting on a flight at 12:30pm, flying across the second largest ocean in the world, and pretending to be in a perfectly happy, healthy relationship with an undoubtedly perfectly coiffed stranger.
See, Clara is not only American (and wealthy to boot), she's also best friends with John’s ex-fiancee. Whom she's placed in the wedding party. As Maid of Honor.
And John just happens to be Best Man.
Bloody brilliant.

Summary
'Before you do anything you might regret, um, one question. Just one question...'
The easy out of a joke briefly flashes across his brain before he shuts it down. John Watson deserves more than that. So much more.
Or, what if Sherlock had held his tongue that night at the Landmark and tried a different approach?
