    Summary

    After the phone call, nothing is the same. Sherlock Holmes has spent a lifetime filing away sentiment, but Molly Hooper has always resisted categorization. When words finally escape their emotional lockdown, he finds himself face to face with the only truth he can’t logic away. Love—real, unadorned, inconvenient love.

    Summary

    Molly stared at the wedding invitation in her hand. She rubbed the edges of the card absently as she studied the details. The names. The date. The venue. Slowly she lowered herself into the sofa and waited for the sheer joy to erupt. This was her wedding invitation after all. This was her moment of joy. This finally should have been the closure she had been looking for all along. And yet all she felt was mild guilt and shame.

    The final chapter is up!!

    Hello everyone, I just wanted to pop by and say thank you. Your lovely comments and encouragement pushed me to finish this story. I initially debated on whether or not to include an epilogue. But after much deliberation, I have decided against it. My story arc was all about Sherlock and Molly fumbling their way through complicated emotions and sentiments. It was all about them coming together in the end and anything I write after that would be construed as redundant. So I'm going to leave it to the audience, you are now free to interpret it however you wish. Thank you again for coming along with me. I hope I get to chat with you again in the future!

    Summary

    Mycroft and Molly were not even friends. Just two people who had crossed paths, multiple times, and decided to help each other. After Sherrinford, they need each other more than ever. But Molly loves Sherlock and while Mycroft has been informed that he is an idiot, he is not stupid enough to believe this could ever change.

    Summary

    Molly and Sherlock have gone their separate ways post The Final Problem. Several months later they are forced to come together due to terrible circumstances. Things are not the same for either of them. Unresolved issues aside, they both now have something or rather someone else in common. Will Molly's secret destroy them or would it act as the catalyst that Molly and Sherlock so hopelessly need? The more desperately Molly tries to get out of the situation, the more she gets sucked back into it.

    As Mycroft once said to Sherlock, "What do we say about coincidence?"

    The universe is rarely so lazy.

    Summary

    Sherlock Holmes realises his new flatmate cares about him. It's information he doesn't know how to handle.

    Basically, the story of how Sherlock discovers love, and of how this changes him completely. Predominantly Johnlock, but other characters appear too, because love comes in different forms. Mostly canon compliant.

    Summary

    Molly gets her I Love You post-mortem. An angsty slow burn as Molly & Sherlock try to repair their friendship. But the 'I love you' might have cut too deeply...

    “Honestly, Sherlock,” she huffed, lining the supplies up on the worktop. “You fancy yourself a pirate but, seriously, you're more damsel in distress.” Molly motioned impatiently, a silent order for him to submit to her care. “What or who on earth did this to you?”
    Sherlock didn’t answer immediately. Molly could feel his eyes on her as she cleaned the first cut. For some reason, his silence irritated her.
    “Well?” Her tone was more harsh than she intended.
    “You.” The sound was so low, she looked up to be sure it came from him.

    Summary

    “You can go back inside, you know,” Mike finally says, after a few moments of silence. It’s a late leeway, because the selfish part of him that wants Will all to himself wants Will to stay here, say that he wouldn’t be anywhere else, to kiss him, to scoot a little closer and let him know he’s here. “I’m fine.”

    “Okay,” Will replies, and makes no move to get up.

    Mike squints at him, and Will turns away from the street to look back. He offers a grin. Mike squints harder, despite his own lips twitching into a smile.

    Mike escapes a celebration party to drown in his own loneliness. Will joins him.

    Summary

    cra·que·lure
    /kraˈklo͝or,ˈkrakˌlo͝or/
    noun
    a network of fine cracks in the paint or varnish of a painting.

    Mycroft Holmes had everything in hand: a powerful position in civil service to the Crown with the ability to affect politics across the globe, an impeccable taste in modern luxuries, and an iron-clad philosophy on life and how one should live it.

    He didn't expect it to shatter around him in a series of events facilitated by his siblings.

    This is the story of his rebirth.

      Beautiful, sensual, cathartic. It's the kind of rebirth and rebuilding of Mycroft's life and sense of self that I feel he deserved. And so gorgeously written!

      The one with majestic elk-inspired epiphany, psychotherapy and healing; with reimagining of the negative space and the subjects within Mycroft's life and their relation to them: Sherlock, Mummy, Anthea, the badass security team, and Greg ❤️

    Summary

    „Enola.“ Sherlock rolled the word in his mouth. It felt odd, yet strangely at home on his tongue. „That´s “alone“, spelled backwards.“ Enola simply smiled as she looked away, outside the window to the rainy streets of London. It was a brief look, seemingly without a reason.
    „My mother´s a big fan of word games.“ She said, her eyes turning to the ground. Sherlock noticed her hands began to shake again as she partially curled up on herself.

    Summary

    Things hadn’t felt right in 221B since John and Rosie moved back in. Everything was off. Wrong. If only Sherlock knew it was about to get even worse. But, for vegetation to return to a barren wasteland, rain from thunderstorms is necessary. A brushfire, even, to burn away the old and provide nourishment for the new… and to expose a truth that’s been present all along.

    Excerpt from Chapter 1:

    He stumbled as he was yanked backwards by the chain of the handcuffs, Mr. Morrison’s cruel hand having snaked under his Belstaff to assert his control. John met his eye. He nodded once, almost harshly, in the regimented yet reassuring manner of a soldier. Sherlock knew he was painfully squeezing his hands together behind his back as if to punish himself; lips bitten red and a tightly clenched jaw also betrayed the worry behind his steely façade.

    “I’ll kill him,” John said, terrifyingly calm. “I’ll kill him and bring you home. I will.”

    NOW COMPLETE!

    Summary

    He could tell him, scream until he was hoarse, that it hadn’t been his fault. He had been a child, for God’s sake! He had spent all his life putting together pieces of complicated puzzles, solving mysteries, helping people, refusing to care about the victims because he had failed to solve a puzzle when he was a child.

    He could tell him that it should be Mycroft, or his parents – or bloody Scotland Yard, but Sherlock would not listen.

    Summary

    Mycroft and Greg. Technically it's about Greg fulfilling Sherlock's request. More accurately, it's about...

    Heck. No. Just read it. If it worked and you're as mushy as me, you will like it.

    The theme music for the story is McCartney's "Blackbird."

      Moriarty had called Mycroft "the Iceman." Some fool in MI6 had code-named him Antarctica. Lestrade, though, saw him as a burn victim--a man sluiced in ice water to try to reduce the agony of flame.

      Lestrade's (or Tammany's?) spot-on opinion of John Watson:
      "Flawed though the little Army doctor was, he met some silent need of Sherlock's. Together the two men had undergone an alchemical change that altered both. Sherlock, at least, was finally, clearly, the better for it--and if Lestrade was less sure of Watson, there was time for change to alter that, too. Now wasn't the time to attempt a final judgement on the man. Still, he could wish. "

    Summary

    These are vignettes connected into the slow progression of John and Sherlock's romantic relationship in the post-canon as they raise a child, discuss retirement, and learn that a) communication is good, b) they deserve to have things that make them happy, and c) they're usually on the same page when it comes to all the important things anyway.

    Fluffy, soft, tender feelings all around.
