Summary
Sherlock has just shot Magnussen, and John feels adrift. Everything is wrong. He's fairly certain he hates his wife, too. The regrets are too numerous for him to count. Sherlock is in prison, his ultimate fate unknown and the isolation slowly (or, rather, worryingly quickly) whittling away at his sanity. Mycroft is equally untethered, scrambling for options. Perhaps John can help. And perhaps, just perhaps, they can manage to save Sherlock and rid themselves of Mary in one fell swoop. (HLV fix-it)
Now complete!

Summary
John Watson is tired of holding back, longing for the person that he wants. Sherlock will never want him, so he decides he needs space to move on. A job opportunity in Edinburgh presents itself and, well, he doesn't have anything to stay for, does he? Sherlock certainly isn't fighting for him.

Summary
He never hated her more than when Sherlock tells him, his eyes full of pain and his voice wavering, shattering the quiet bubble of domesticity that formed around them in their months of cohabitation, that he will have to go back to Mary.
A season 3/ season 4 fix it, with the chapters inspired by the Advent ficlet challenge prompts by MissDavis on Tumblr. I don't think the chapters count as ficlets technically but oh well.

Summary
Sherlock Holmes, The wedding Consultant. Picky about his projects and a nightmare to work with. Rejects ninety percent of the couples after just having a look at them and can predict how long a marriage will last. But when unassuming, plain, John Watson reluctantly limps his way in his office, with his more than enthusiastic fiancée, Mary Morstan, instead of dismissing the ill-assorted couple on the spot, he promptly decides that the project, and the groom.. are definitely worth working on.

Bookmark Notes:
The philosophical thoughts about peer pressure, bad coffee and something else John was going to think about (because he still had fifteen minutes left to waste and eating the sandwich took only five minutes) came to a hitch because it was Mike. In his all wide smiled glory, lab coat and general lively presence.
“Hello Mike.” John smiled politely. Mike was a good guy and deserved politeness.
“Meera saw the news on Twitter. Congratulations on the engagement, mate!”
Mike was smiling more and patting John’s good shoulder. Thankfully. Previous encounters mostly resulted in the wrong shoulder being patted, John flinching and Mike apologizing like he was responsible for the end of the world.

Sherlock closed his eyes. Let his head fall against John’s shoulder again.
“…you didn’t have to touch my hair like that.”
