Summary
John reappears eight months later, on Sherlock’s 21st birthday.
Sherlock is hiding in the upstairs guest en-suite, having masterfully slipped out of his own “party” (several of his parents’ close friends, a few cousins, and Mycroft) before the cake was brought out. He’s sitting on the windowsill, smoking a Dunhill Red he’d deftly pinched from Mycroft’s coat on the way upstairs, when he hears the shower curtain of the bath pull back.

Summary
What starts as a simple trip to Gieves & Hawkes for wedding suit fittings spirals into something far more raw. John thinks it’s just about fabric swatches and morning coats, but Sherlock is hiding scars — both physical and psychological — that refuse to stay buried. When a flashback hits mid-measurement, John has to step in, not just as a groom-to-be, but as a soldier, a doctor, and a friend.

Summary
"You don't have to --"
"I know I don't." But Sherlock leaves anyway, spurred by equal parts anger and shame. He promises to be back in 30 minutes with the forgotten milk for Rosie's evening meal.
He does not return.
Later, John will think of that last glimpse of Sherlock's face, the tired hurt, the start of tears. He will think that maybe Sherlock has simply decided to be done with this, to be done with him.
Still, maybe he'd better call Greg, see if anyone's caught a glimpse of the man. Just in case.
Across town, Sherlock plots escape but hopes for rescue, trapped in a situation that he cannot talk his way out of.

Summary
After Sherlock overdoses on some strange mixture for a case, his Mind Palace leads him to situations he wasn’t ever prepared to deal with. His subconscious reveals he has more sentiment than he thinks: sentiment particularly with his infatuation over John. Not only that, but he’s stuck in the flat for four weeks of post-near-death recovery, and both he and John are figuring out how to do that.
Moreover, Sherlock has trouble accepting a part of him craves something so pedestrian.

Summary
Together, John and Sherlock have quite a history, a journey, a life. The story begins post Season 4 (selective parts of it, anyway) and will move forward as they realise their desires and yearnings, as they make peace with where they have been - and where they are going.
Literal meaning: things that are desired, based on prosaic *Desiderata* by Max Ehrmann, written in 1929, encourages readers to live peacefully and honestly while staying grounded amid life's distractions. It advises maintaining dignity, avoiding bitterness, and appreciating the beauty in both the world and oneself. The poem ultimately offers a message of hope, resilience, and quiet strength.
The poem is included in its entirety is in chapter 1, with a correlating story. Subsequent chapters, grouped to tell a single story line, will incorporate a snippet of the piece.
The final chapter will include a bit of the backstory of the poem and Mr. Ehrmann's career.
