    Summary

    Sherlock Holmes is trying to keep his head above water, rebuilding his life from the ground up. After Mary...after Culverton, the Baker Street duo is barely making their ends meet. Of course, nothing will change.
    Sherlock will be fine because it's all fine. John will drink and crack a smile and it'll be fine too.The mantra repeats and repeats. Sherlock knows they can't last like this.

    And somehow, the universe seems to know this too.

    Summary

    The last thing John Watson had been expecting, well, there were a lot of things not to expect, but it certainly wasn’t Mrs. Hudson pulling up in a bright red sports car speeding as if the devil was chasing her tail down his therapist’s street.

    It certainly wasn’t her interrupting his therapy session that wasn’t even beneficial. It wasn’t the helicopter and police car tracking her down, and then the both of them going away at the blink of an eye because Mycroft’s eyes and ears know no bounds.

    But the most unbelievable thing is that Mrs. bloody Hudson, had played John and lied right to his face, tying him into a bond he couldn't get out of even if he tried. He made a promise he wasn’t sure he’d ever go through with.

    And the lie was supposedly justifiable. The lie was Sherlock Holmes.

    Summary

    It's been 2 years since Sherlock has seen him. Sherlock Holmes has been counting the seconds since John Watson left. Since Mary died. It wasn't supposed to be like that, it wasn't supposed to go so wrong. A complicated labor left Mary worse for wear...and a widowed John in shambles.
    Sherlock is now left to pick up the pieces, and move onward, his old life a distant memory. He's settled into his life, or at least pretends to be. Until a peculiar case sends him drudging into the small coastal village of Chideock, and he finds far more than what he bargained for.
    That doesn't necessarily mean it's a good thing.

    Summary

    221B Baker Street is never truly quiet, not with Sherlock’s mind constantly buzzing. John thought he’d learned to ignore the chaos, but one off-hand remark from Sherlock turns everything upside down.

    A kiss, a theory, a touch too close.

    Dr John H. Watson knows one thing: Sherlock Holmes has a way of making the impossible seem inevitable.

    Summary

    “Alright,” John says while dialling a number, “we’ll let the X-rays do the talking. It’ll be hard to convince Dr. Sullivan not to put you in a suicide recovery program, obviously, but at least we’ll see what your deranged mind thought was a good idea to swallow.”

    “I didn’t swallow it.”

    “Come again?”

    “I didn’t swallow it, I said.”

    Someone on the other end of the phone has answered, but John, who’s already covered the receiver with his hand, doesn’t seem interested anymore.

    The vacant stare and that gaping mouth Sherlock gets in response beg for comment.

    “Oh, John.” Sherlock tilts his head, a nervous, entirely wrong smile distorting his features. “Your deductive skills were never great, but a couple of years ago, you’d have figured it out right away. Have you really deteriorated this much in my absence?”

    Summary

    "Mine? Or yours?"

    This phrase in particular seemed to be haunting Sherlock's every waking moment.

    In the past two successful months he'd managed to engage in a romantic relationship with one Dr. John Watson, the phrase had come into use more times than he could count. Murmured breathlessly into the side of his neck… sighed clumsily into the whole of his mouth… moaned softly into his left ear… outside of Scotland Yard… hidden in dark alleys… whispered in the back of crowded restaurants.

    And while Sherlock was in no way unopposed to being taken home by Dr. John Watson, or instead pushing the same John clumsily up the stairs of Baker Street, Sherlock couldn't help but feel a sharp pang of unpleasantness at the sheer fact the question had to be asked in the first place.

    Summary

    "So, there John was left standing. If he knew where Sherlock was going, he would have gone after him. But maybe this was a hint that Sherlock was waiting for John to take. No matter how many people in the past told them that they were a great team, or even Mary’s video, he and Sherlock fell apart. Or got pulled apart. The correct answer seemed to be one got pushed away, though."

    ***

    When Sherlock starts pushing John away after the death of Mary, John is ready to get to the bottom of the issue. Even if the conversation has to happen with Sherlock almost bleeding out in the kitchen.

    Summary

    i read somewhere about the heartbreaking idea that after 4x2 “the lying detective” where john beats up sherlock in the mortuary he would now flinch anytime they had an argument or heated moment of some kind and john made a move toward him that might suggest he’ll do it again.
    and of course, being a terrible person who loves torturing themself, i’m going to write about it! (but a little softer and more comforting) :D

    (pretend john never went to therapy and got shot by eurus and sherlock never found the note, or at least not yet lol, this isn’t about “the final problem” this is about johnlock)

    Summary

    ""I love you, Sherlock Holmes. Thank you for being so patient with me, for so long." John said, leaning forward to rest their heads together.

    "I'll wait for you until the sun stops burning and the stars finally fade, I'll wait until the bees stop buzzing and the birds forget to sing. I'll wait forever for you, John. I love you too."

    John leaned forward and kissed Sherlock softly, galaxies colliding and stars aligning under their skin."

    Or;

    Sherlock proposed, and John takes a minute to respond because he has issues, after everything. Sherlock waits, patiently.

    Summary

    Шерлок моргает, пытаясь сосредоточиться. В его венах чересчур много водки, и это очень печально отражается и на мозге, и на сетчатке: он видит двух Джонов, сидящих напротив него, и оба они смотрят нахмурившись.
    - Ты пьян, - говорят ему оба Джона.
    Шерлок моргает еще раз.
    - И это говорит мне человек с салфеткой миссис Хадсон на голове.

    События происходят после третьего сезона.
