Summary
Sherlock Holmes said he’d never let her go,
only to vanish two weeks later.
Now, two years later, Sarah has turned survival into a quiet art– from her sleepless nights to the slow decay of someone who once believed in love.But when the consulting detective returns–
She must decide if love can survive resurrection… or if it’s safer left buried in the same place she left her past life—and him.“I chose the version of events where you survived. Even if I didn’t!”
She laughs—bitter and joyless. “The bullet would’ve been more merciful than what you did to me.”

Summary
Sherlock and Katrina established a friendship (and then some) whilst he was pronounced legally dead. That evolves into something more when he comes back to London, and their friendship with John Watson is tested. But there are much more important issues at hand: a wedding, Magnussen, and one big mistake for Sherlock and Katrina. Thus, the game of favours takes pause. Sherlock/OC. Slowburn of actual romance, but Sherlock does indulge in other ways that's still in charactr.
Part two of a trilogy. Year 2 Post-Reichenbach Fall. Plenty of changes to series 3. Rated M for discussion of mental health issues, alcoholism, drug use, and some sexual content.

Summary
Mycroft sneered in his best imitation of a patient smile, “Brother mine, don’t you think this would go quite a bit faster if you spared me some of your dull quips?”
“Perhaps,” Sherlock allowed, “You needed my services?”
“Yes. A string of inexplicable and, frankly, gruesome murders in central London.”
“For me? Dear brother, you shouldn’t have.”
“Sherlock.”
____Or, Sherlock returns from the dead to solve some murders and everyone knows but John.

Summary
John Watson is an ex-army trauma surgeon turned A&E doctor. He knows how to stop a bleed, how to restart a heart, how to bring someone back from the edge. He works long hours in fluorescent-lit corridors where everything is urgent and nothing is quiet. It keeps his hands busy. It keeps him moving.
But there’s no emergency procedure for what comes after Sherlock Holmes. No protocol for the kind of silence that follows. Grief doesn’t respond to pressure, or sutures, or CPR. It just sits with him. In the walls of the flat, in the clouded edges of memory, in the things he didn’t say when it might have mattered.
He saves lives by night and loses sleep by day, drifting through London’s streets with too much whiskey in his system and too many ghosts at his back. Sherlock is dead. John knows that. Some nights, it doesn’t feel like enough of an explanation.
Fic lightly inspired by the song Mortals by Tommy Lefroy

Summary
John wasn’t used to the silence. He caught himself noticing it again and again, which is something he never even realised was possible. He reckoned it was natural, to notice the absence of something. Especially when it used to be so disruptive.
He made a face. Not disruptive. Yet, he couldn’t think of an adjective for it.
--------
A Post-Reichenbach fic. John is tired of seeing the people he loves dying. Mariana has good advice.
Title is from the song "Unknown/Nth" from Hozier -

Summary
Has he only been beset by one trouble, Holmes would have simply continued working, searching pawn shops all across London for an item related to his current case. Watson was beside him, and he ought to have been happy.
Instead, his four consistent troubles had collided all at once, and that was entirely too much to tolerate.

Summary
What if Sherlock and Jim were already together before the Reichenbach Fall? And then Jim went and did what he did anyway. So much angst—but a happy ending, I promise.
Hozier, Take Me To Church. For me, this has always been the ultimate Sheriarty song. "A giggle at a funeral"? Come on. I found a lovely violin rendition (by @IneseOfficial on YouTube) to listen to while writing this, which I highly, highly recommend.

Summary
After the jump, John starts texting Sherlock's old number. Sherlock doesn't text back. He wants to, but he can't- It's too risky, and he needs John to stay alive. That was the whole reason he jumped, so Moriarty's network wouldn't kill him. Until John sends one last message -- "I don't want to live in a world without you in it. This is my note."
Sherlock texts back. -

Summary
He can’t keep looking at it, waiting for a hand that isn't there anymore. He can't ride the escalators where they used to bicker. He can’t sit on the trains where they’d whisper about murder over bags of shopping and lukewarm Costa coffee. He can’t walk the platforms where Sherlock used to stride ahead and glance back only to make sure John was still behind him.
He can’t do it.
Sherlock is dead, and yet somehow John is still behind him. Waiting for him to glance back.
