Summary
This fanfiction takes place after BBC season 4 of Sherlock Holmes. Mycroft deserves better in my eyes and I want his and Sherlocks relationship to become better. The fanfiction genereally resolves around the idea that Mycroft dosen´t handle the traumatic experience at Sherrinford very well and how Sherlock and John intervenes. Later in the fanfiction a character I have created myself as Lestrade´s niece will enter the picture and become Mycroft´s love interest. For this purpose both Sherlock and Mycroft are written a bit softer than their true characters.
Disclaimer: All characters belong to the creators of Sherlock Holmes and BBC. Except original characters of course.

Summary
In this post-“Sherlock” story, Sherlock, as it turns out, is not the only one with demons underneath his road; John has his own share of demons waiting for him, too. And now, not only is John compelled to remember old traumas from his childhood, but the demons under his road have arisen to threaten his life and the lives of his loved ones. Can Sherlock and John’s other friends deliver him and his family from them? This story is part casefic and part physical/emotional hurt/comfort. (Part of the back history of this story comes from a previous 20-chapter story of mine, which I posted back in early 2021, “Please, God, Let Me Live.”)
[NOTE: Read boldfaced note at the bottom of my opening notes below this story summary about my reason for including this story in three of my Ao3 lists, preceding "First Christmas"—ran out of room in this summary!]
5-28-25: I have just included a closing author's note to this story, announcing a new story that I'm soon going to start posting!

Summary
“Don’t come any closer!” Mycroft’s voice cracked. Now he pointed the gun at him, his hand steady this time.
“Alright,” Greg put his hands in the air. Greg remembered Anthea’s words: She gets in your mind. You won’t know it’s happening until it’s already too late.Series

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
The last thing John Watson had been expecting, well, there were a lot of things not to expect, but it certainly wasn’t Mrs. Hudson pulling up in a bright red sports car speeding as if the devil was chasing her tail down his therapist’s street.
It certainly wasn’t her interrupting his therapy session that wasn’t even beneficial. It wasn’t the helicopter and police car tracking her down, and then the both of them going away at the blink of an eye because Mycroft’s eyes and ears know no bounds.
But the most unbelievable thing is that Mrs. bloody Hudson, had played John and lied right to his face, tying him into a bond he couldn't get out of even if he tried. He made a promise he wasn’t sure he’d ever go through with.
And the lie was supposedly justifiable. The lie was Sherlock Holmes.

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
He looks exhausted, too. Eurus got to his heart in more ways than one. Of course, Mycroft would deny it. He’s an unmoveable force, a hard object for which any opposition can throw futile attacks. Except, he used to be a boy. He used to laugh and spin Sherlock around the room just because he asked. Sherlock bears witness to him now and thinks of how fractured they are. He’s felt unstable for so long now, he doesn’t know how to fix things like this. He barely understands that it needs to be fixed in the first place.
But he can try.
Or,
Set in between the scene of the aftermath, and before Mycroft tells their parents, but after they repair the flat. Hope this makes sense!

He knows he still has a long way to go to fix everything that has happened & decides ... there is no time like the present.

Summary
'Their eyes were a dark shade of hazel (the same shade as conkers in the winter), his skin more tanned than Mycroft’s own (though that was easy, Mycroft remarked privately), while he wore a white collared shirt and a navy jacket. He was a member of the police force, high ranking, and a detective. Oh, how ironic. Above average intelligence but not to Mycroft’s standards. From the lines around his eyes and his mouth, Mycroft could tell he smiled a lot. '
...
After the events of The Final Problem in Sherrinford Prison, DI Lestrade finds Mycroft Holmes crying in his sister's cell. Bestowed with Sherlock's instructions to 'make sure he's looked after' he takes it upon himself to comfort Mycroft. Therefore, Lestrade offers his companionship but soon finds himself partial to the human embodiment of the British government. Little does he know the feeling is mutual.

Summary
While attempting to navigate a new relationship, John Watson dwells on a lot from his past. The last few years have been a complete clusterfucked whirlwind of crime, chaos and complete catastrophes. Impossible feelings were felt, lines crossed, and bounds broken, so how can he fault himself for thinking and feeling a lot these days? A lot done and said by the Holmes’, a lot to do with his aching shoulder in the newly frosted London streets, a lot in reluctant regard to his time spent in Afghan.
And on remembrance day, too. The perfect time to interpret signs that don’t exist; enable old, aching habits; and upset his shoulder and the chunk of 9 millimetre ammunition still stubbornly intact inside him. Between old scar tissue, frigid metal hardens and spites him, stirring a plethora of unwanted and uncomfortable truths, ones John Watson isn’t sure he’ll ever be ready to face. The perfect time for a new case to envelop his life, what was supposed to be a distraction turning into a black hole he’s forced to look at.
OR
as a new case is presented to him and Sherlock during Memorial Day weekend, John starts to struggle with his trauma harder than usual.

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!
