"Ex-wife." Anderson bets. "Carolyn."
"What if it's Mrs. Hudson?" Sally looks around with wide eyes.
"Please stop talking." John shivers at the thought.Amid the domestic drama, a high-profile homicide investigation unfolds, with Mycroft’s meddling complicating things even further. "Baby brother, caring is not an advantage."

Summary
Sherlock and John escape a London heat wave for a country retreat and a bit of light treasure hunting at Sherlock's old friend Reggie Musgrave's place.
Part 5 in the Nothing Gold series. I think it's understandable as a stand-alone, but you definitely get more out of this if you've read the first four fics.

Summary
“I don’t- I don’t want this to end.” John whispers, instantly regretting saying the words out loud. He moves, sliding to the edge of the bed, and planting his feet on the ground. His naked chest forms gooseflesh and he feels the mattress dip as Sherlock moves.
It makes him flinch, when Sherlock’s hand rests on his shoulder, feeling Sherlock behind him.
“Why would it end, John?” Sherlock asks, voice questioning but soft. John bites his lip, shaking his head as he stares at the nightstand.
“John?” Sherlock shifts closer, his curls teasing John’s skin, breath warm against his shoulder and John blinks his eyes, suddenly wanting to cry.
“It’s okay, John. I’m here.”

Summary
He wanted to say that it wasn't something flatmates should have to be sorry for, but it would just call attention to the codependent nature of their deepening relationship, and that seemed better left unobserved until John had a better handle on what it was.
As the months passed, John had a creeping, slightly nauseating realisation that it was love, and that scared him far more than being locked in a lab while on psychotropic drugs ever would.
Because John knew that it was entirely his own fault for letting his fate get entwined with this man. That for all his complaining about Sherlock drugging John's tea and spoiling his relationships, he couldn't pretend he hadn't chosen all of this. Nimbly stepped around all of the clearly marked red flags and settled into 221B like a cat cuddling up next to an untamed pitbull.
