Summary
It all happens so quickly, that in his state of shock John doesn’t have the presence of mind to follow the paramedics as they lift his friend’s limp body onto a gurney. Instead, He watches them wheel him away. Suddenly, the hands reaching out to steady him are intolerable. He waves them away.
He reaches to pull his mobile from his pocket and dials the only number he can think to.
It is answered on the first ring, the drawling voice says, “Dr. Watson.”
John stares at the puddle of blood on the pavement and swallows bile.
“It’s Sher… He….” And John’s voice can’t seem to push its way past the lump in his throat.
“Where are you?” Mycroft asks, his voice all cool professionalism with an edge of panic. John never calls him, wouldn’t call him after last night’s dressing down.
John makes a pitiable attempt to clear his throat and can only manage to say, “Bart’s”
“Don’t move. I’m on my way.”
John slips the phone back into his pocket, looks back at the pool of cooling blood, and heaves into the gutter. -

Summary
"Sherlock wants to say, "I love you, John." But he still can't say it. Too much is riding on those four little words. The tenuous thread that binds the three of them, he and John and Rosie, together under one roof could snap. He's only recently obtained John's forgiveness; he couldn't afford to ask for more. The words had been pushing against the insides of his lips for years, but there had never been the right time and then it had been too late. "

Summary
They'd never talked about sex in the year they'd known each other. Well, that wasn't quite correct: Sherlock had never said a word about sex; John had bemoaned his personal dearth of it on many occasions.
