Summary
‘I don't have to learn. I know I'm right. If they aren't working for me, then they are broken. If you say they aren't broken, I will break them so they work for me.’
This undisciplined, uncontrollable, unimaginably brilliant child had time to be fixed in his ways with no intervention whatsoever for two and a half decades. No pre-existing institution, medical or criminal could keep Sherlock at bay. Can one man beat the odds and take on the job?

Virgil woke up all at once, fists clenched, ready to fight. Two things saved Gordon’s face – fast reflexes and a keen desire not to die. Or, as Alan would say, ‘duck now and ask why later’.

Summary
“Careful with it.” Sherlock’s voice startles him. The violin slips from his shoulders, as John lets it - carefully - drop into the case, together with the bow, before he turns to his flatmate. The man leans against the door frame, wrapped in just a blanket, a smirk on his face.
John smiles awkwardly at him, “Sorry, sorry! I was just putting it away. I… spilled some water, while making tea. On the kitchen table. Wouldn’t want the violin to-“
Sherlock shakes his head and moves towards him, pointing at the violin. “Pick it up.”
Carefully John bends to grasp the violin and he shoulders it once more, letting it sit awkwardly on his bad shoulder.
"You’re holding it wrong,” he states flatly.
John prepares to lower it, an apology ready on his lips. Until this very moment - or maybe it was the night when Sherlock played - John had had no interest in playing the violin. But now that he stands here, the wood against his skin, the instrument ready, he can’t help but smile a little at the detective’s odd look.

Summary
Later John wonders if it was fate, destiny, or whether it was a crazy random happenstance that caused him to look across the street at that exact moment. Because as he raised his eyes to gaze at the shops across the street, he saw a face that he honestly didn’t expect to see again outside of a creepy evil secret warehouse or local swimming pool. At that moment, he looked up from his disappointing coffee and he saw him, London’s favourite consulting criminal: Jim Moriarty.

Summary
John Watson is not the person people think he is. That's not their fault though. He's got special—natural—skills that make him an impressive fake.
Important note: Knowledge of the anime Blood+ is *not* required in order to enjoy this fic. There's a lot of characters even if they don't appear for a long time, it can be complicated, and I've added on to it, but I have approached this fic under the assumption readers haven't watched it.
Blood+ (and Sherlock) spoilers inbound.
