Summary
Sherlock and John take on a new case that brings John's military history and secrets to the table. The detective is forced to understand that there is a great deal more to John than jumpers, tea, and a love of adrenaline. (Takes place after the Reichenbach Fall, no Mary. There is no smut in this part of the trilogy and it can easily stand alone.)
---------
Sherlock looked to John, eyebrows furrowed, "You have higher security clearance than my brother?"
John licked his lips, eyes flicking from one Holmes brother to the other, both staring at him with equal ferocity and confusion, "Well," he said, "Technically, due to the nature of... yes."Series

Summary
The face staring back at him was hard, cold, and familiar in the most painful ways.
His lungs constricted leaving him feeling breathless at the sight and his vision frayed at the edges—either from the sudden lack of oxygen or tears, he didn’t know—and his hands trembled like he’d touched a live wire.
He spent his remaining breath on a single word that felt more like a choke.
“John.”
or
The one where John didn't meet Mary in the years following the Riechenbach Fall, and instead finds himself tangled in a web of criminality, hard choices, and bad decisions. And Sherlock now has to save the man who has always been the one doing the saving.
