Summary
Maybe there's another reason Sherlock 'deleted' the solar system.
When spacey astronomer Olivia Wainwright befriends John Watson, she crosses paths with two childhood friends. But only one of the Holmes brothers remembers her.
Sherlock isn't entirely sure why he resents the solar system, but Ollie Wainwright seems to be making things worse.
Mycroft failed to protect Olivia when they were children, and will do whatever it takes to make it up to her.
John has a habit of getting too attached, and Ollie Wainwright is certainly no exception.

Summary
*Without her even being here, she’s back in your life
And now she’s in the same damn city on the same damn night*John thought a week off with Sherlock would be all cozy evenings and lazy mornings, but when Irene Adler reappears, things get complicated. Suddenly, there are secretive texts, suspicious silences, and a six-month anniversary that’s hanging by a thread. As John digs deeper, he finds himself in the middle of a game he didn’t even know he was playing. Only one thing is certain : nothing's ever simple with Sherlock.
Inspired from Sabrina Carpenter's song 'Coincidence', which I recommend listening to while reading. But that's up to you.

Summary
Love was a sensitive subject Sherlock preferred to avoid, only engaging with it when it served his interests. To him, love was merely a distraction, a weakness that exposed vulnerabilities. Vulnerability, he believed, was what led to the deaths of those closest to him. Yet, it was nearly impossible to ignore the concept of love when John Watson was a part of his life.
Or, a case takes a turn when Sherlock fucks around and finds out.

Summary
"I swear, you get to my age and stairs will become your worst enemy.”
“Ahh, see you should never trust stairs – they’re always up to something!” John joked.
Sherlock only frowned. “Well, of course – that’s how stairs work.”
***
In which Sherlock only gets the joke once they've both been put in mortal peril.

Summary
Summoning a demon was actually quite simple if you could avoid getting killed in the process.
Therefore, only the powerful, the desperate or the stupid would attempt it.
John Watson was likely the first, definitely the second but hopefully not one of the third kind.Thanks once more to peageetibbs for beta-ing and keeping a watchful eye out for mistakes!
