Summary
"I want to watch you kill, because I want to see you lose that tiresome battle against your baser instincts. I want to drink from you, enough that you go weak and breathless and can’t stand properly, but I don’t want to kill you, because then you’ll be gone and the thought of never being surprised by you ever again makes me want to go naked into the sunlight and wait until it burns me into ash."

That is why, when Sherlock gets drugged while out for drinks with the Yard and his protective soldier boyfriend, the bastard who did it is going to pay for laying a hand on everyone’s favourite detective!

Summary
Sherlock scoffs, weakly. "How can it not matter?"
"It does, some," John acknowledges. "It's our story and it forged us in fire, and so it matters because it's us. It's our nightmares and our fears and our shame and our hurt, and we wouldn't be the same without everything that has happened to us. But it doesn't matter because even after everything I love you and you love me. And that's just as real and true, and it will last far, far longer than the rest of the story."
-----
A day that is Not Good, and a better tomorrow. Can be read as a continuation of of silver scars and golden sunlight.

Summary
Dr John Watson was a very forgiving person. He certainly was able to forgive a great deal of things. But as he stood there, looking into his former best friend's eyes, those pale grey eyes that once had sparkled with interest directed at John, all he could feel was anger: unmasked, naked rage that he had never experienced before...
Sherlock returns from the dead and is soon forced to find out that he has lost everything. John can't bring himself to forgive his former best friend, leaving Sherlock in utter despair. However, as Sebastian Moran enters the picture, he wants to finish what Moriarty started, burn Sherlock's heart out, and John will have to face his own guilt if he wants to save Sherlock - and himself.

Summary
Written for this prompt. Having returned from Serbia, Sherlock starts suffering from some kind of PTSD disorder, or so it seems. He can’t tell John, not now when John is safe and happy and married. Wouldn’t it be emotional blackmail, of a sort?

Cause and effect. One thing brings about another. Can friendship sponsor dependence? Does familiarity lead to taking things for granted, such as ... people?
A horrific car accident shakes things up.

Summary
"That he was cold was the first thing Sherlock noticed when he woke. The second was that he was uncomfortable, laying on something solid which dug into his ribs and spine and pressed into his skull. The third was pain. His head throbbed in time with his heart and a sharp ache radiated from his back. The fourth was that he had no idea where he was."
Sherlock lays alone on the rocks and waits for John to save him. Later he learns that even after rescue, his John might be a lot further away than he had anticipated.

Summary
Excerpt taken from Chapter 10:
We are the ill-fated sons of glory, dear brother. Mycroft had said that before, hadn’t he? The recollection was swirling, misty. Mixing crudely with the gray fog that had been creeping down the rickety attic stairs all day. Infiltrating his mind with fear. Unreal, most likely. The pirates you so used to admire had notoriously short lives.
Victor certainly hadn’t lived for long. Redbeard, he’d liked to be called.
Mind palace Mycroft. I thought I told you to go away. You’ve already said all of this.
Is it not still relevant?
Sherlock didn’t bother to answer. It was, in fact, not relevant. Dying this way – if that were indeed to be his fate – would involve no regret. No introspection. It is what it is. I’ve fought for good. I know I have. On the side of the angels.
This fic is technically the third part of a series, but it stands alone as well. NOTE: The title was changed from "Genius is a Star Whose Light (is Soon to Sink in Endless Night)", just because it was ultimately too unwieldy.

Summary
"It's never the fall that kills you, it's the landing"
Nothing to theorize here- Sherlock jumped, and all The Queen's horses might not be able to put him together again. Sherlock was gravely injured when he hit the pavement. John is by his side, but things are a bit not good for both of them.

The Gift by IwillbeReichenbach for Sandrina
Fandoms: Sherlock (TV), Sherlock Holmes & Related Fandoms

Summary
In the years after the events at Sherrinford Sherlock continues to battle the demons of his past, especially those given to him in a cold Serbian cell. When Sherlock puts his life on the line to catch a suspect will John be there to help him through? Will it bring them closer together or has the damage of the past driven them too far apart?
This is a gift to my wonderful beta Sandrina. Without her tireless help this whole series of tales would be a mess of embarrassing typos, poor spelling and terrible grammar. More importantly through, without her inspiration this part of the story would never have been written. Not being one for happy endings myself, if i was left to my own devices this would never have been written. It is spawned from her suggestions and I just hope that I have done them justice.
This work is complete and will be updated about once a week.
