Summary
Story diverges at Empty Hearse. Silver’s prompt for FTH asked for a story where Sherlock tells John what he did when he was “away” dismantling Moriarty's network. As per Silver's suggestions, Sherlock brutally tells him, not just in “ellipses and generalities” but the terrible truth. This begins as a confrontation that leads to “conversation and allows for healing that didn't happen.” Along the way they solve a case and acknowledge their hearts.
Written for Silvergirl for Fandom Trumps Hate 2025. Thank you for the wonderful prompt.

The Death of Doubt by AuburnRecluse for cccahill18
Fandoms: Sherlock (TV), Sherlock Holmes & Related Fandoms
14 Feb 2014
Tags
Summary
For cccahill18, based on their prompt for johnlockchallenges Valentine's Day Exchange: Mycroft asks for John’s help in rescuing Sherlock from his Serbian captors. Requested genres: AU, fluff, angst, hurt/comfort
Sherlock couldn’t decide if it was the kindest or the cruelest trick his mind had ever played on him, to give him a blurry vision of John Watson standing there with haggard lines on his face, the beginnings of an absolutely disastrously scruffy beard, and a grubby knit cap shoved down over his ears. His mouth shaped around that name, the one he hadn’t allowed himself to utter aloud in two years, and it felt foreign as it scraped weakly past his lips.
“John?”

Summary
“Sherlock, do you believe that you deserved the beating John gave you?”
He’s quiet. This question is an unsolvable riddle, every time he’s asked it.
~*~
Sherlock has never known how to take care of himself — let alone anybody else. But if he wants John back in his life, he knows he’ll have to try. In the wake of Mary’s death and John’s rejection, a countryside retreat and a new friendship help Sherlock begin to grow into a better man.

Summary
As a flash of lightning in the night shows up in an instant every detail of a wide landscape, so at one glance I seemed to see every possible result of such an action—the detection, the capture, the honoured career ending in irreparable failure and disgrace, my friend himself lying at the mercy of the odious Milverton. “For Heaven’s sake, Holmes, think what you are doing,” I cried. - Fragment from ‘Charles Augustus Milverton’, a story from ‘The return of Sherlock Holmes’ short story collection, by Arthur Conan Doyle
What if Watson’s fear had come to pass? Holmes’ and Watson’s attempted burglary on Milverton’s estate goes horribly wrong and the two men find themselves quite literally in the hands of the notorious blackmailer. They will have to rely on each other like never before to help them through the aftermath.

"Doesn't it piss you off though? That he can't even be bothered to remember your name?"
Greg looked confused. "He knows my name, I don't mind that he never uses it though. I mean, it's understandable really."
"Understandable how?" John sipped his beer with a frown, one that only deepened when Gregs confusion turned to vague horror.
"Fuck, I assumed you knew. Look, it's best if you talk to Sherlock about that. Not really for me to tell, mate."

Sherlock doesn't take rape or child abuse cases.
Sherlock doesn't call Greg by his real first name.What John didn't know until now was that those two things are connected.
