Summary
The Kingdom of Valdemar is in for some interesting times. When you have two Companions with rather unique names, namely Mycroft and Sherlock, one might suspect their Chosen to bear similarly distinctive monikers. Their Chosen, however, were rather prosaically named but the manner of their choosing more than made up for it. This is the story of how a wounded healer with a crippled gift and a city guard investigator ended up as psychically linked partners to a pair of bossy white horses.

Summary
In another universe of possibilities where the butterflies are busy, young Harry's destiny changes on the twitch of an unwitting stranger's roving eye...
*
“I told you, didn’t I? That he left you on the doorstep?” she says bitterly. “On Hallowe’en night, with a note? A note, telling me that your parents… That my baby sister… Had been murdered? The man lives in some kind of self-narrated fairy tale, boy, and he’s decided that you’re his hero. Well, let me tell you something. Your mother and father were heroes. Your world… It was full, by all reports, of heroes, during that war that they kept going on about, and there are precious few of them… Precious few of them… Who were left alive at the end of it. And he was clear, very clear, wasn’t he, when he left you here with instructions that you be kept safe, at the possible - no, definite - expense of my own family… That it wasn’t over?”
Eleven-year-old Harry says nothing. Petunia Dursley turns her head and looks at him.
“Don’t be brave, boy,” she tells him fiercely. “Your parents were brave. They died. Be smart. Be smart instead, and live. On your own terms. No one else’s. Ever.”

AU. Harry isn’t the Boy-Who-Lived, just a lonely orphan who goes to Hogwarts interested in learning Potions and making friends. But his Potions professor hates him, and Harry can make few friends when he has to conceal his snake familiar and his Parseltongue—and that he seems capable of bringing small animal constructs to life. Blaise Zabini is one of the few people invited into Harry’s secrets, a relationship that grows to be more and more important to both of them as the years pass.

Someone—and Harry might murder them if he ever finds out who—digs something up in old records proclaiming that Harry is not only the Heir of Slytherin as all Parselmouths are, but Lord Slytherin by Right of Conquest after killing the basilisk. Students start coming to Harry for protection and other gifts he can grant them as Lord Slytherin. Harry thinks this Lord business is the stupidest thing he’s ever heard, but all he needs to do is offer them protection and so on without becoming too full of himself. So it’s doable. Hopefully

Summary
"It was simply my conjecture of what a future world might look like and how you and I might fit inside it. From a drop of water a logician should be able to infer the possibility of an Atlantic or a Niagara."
Sherlock is certain that James Moriarty is dead and he already has a theory for the person behind his apparent return. Considering Sherlock was overdosing at the time, it's only to be expected that he overlooked a few details in coming to his conclusions.
John meanwhile has moved back in with Mary after reconciling with her at Christmas, but finds himself agonising over why Sherlock would have thrown away everything he cares about to keep her safe. Could Sherlock be in love?
A reimagining of Series 4 picking up from the end of The Abominable Bride.
