Summary
Sherlock was in New York when the new villain thought to try his new alien weapon. He purposefully came in front of the blast as an attempt at suicide, but even if the blast had hit him, he didn't die. Instead, he was aged down to his twenties. The Avengers took him to the compound where he could recuperate until he was conscious to ask about who he was and why he did what he did because Tony was sure he did jump in the line of fire willingly. But then comes the twist, he had lost his memories until the age his body was transformed. Sherlock himself didn't know why he was there, in New York, on the streets when he should be in London at this time.
Then the investigation begins, to find the truth of why he was here and why he was attempting suicide.
Back in London, even when it's half a year after the death of his little brother, Mycroft Holmes is still grieving, blaming himself for being too late to catch his dearest brother from spiraling, he already knew that Sherlock's death would be a suicide, but it still hurts the same. Imagine his state when he gets a call from New York that Sherlock Holmes is alive.
This is an reaction story, created by me and my friend Tonyspidey7, major contribution is hers.Series

Summary
"Sherlock stared at his phone, still processing the abrupt end to the conversation. For the first time in over two decades, it wasn’t him hanging up, wasn’t him cutting the line. It was Mycroft. And something about that made Sherlock’s stomach twist, a cold, hollow feeling that sank deeper with every passing second. For all the control he had over his world, all the order he imposed on chaos, his older brother had just given him a reminder that Sherlock didn’t truly understand him, didn’t know what made Mycroft break. And that terrified him."
Or: In which Mycroft is kidnapped by Sebastian and Sherlock goes to save him

Summary
The beginning of the Adventures of C.D. Sherlock Holmes and John Watson M.D.
*****************************************************************************John Watson had seen just about everything. Blood, bullets, poisons, mutating diseases, stab wounds, attempted suicides, shattered bones, asphyxiation, overdose victims, the occasional hangnail, and a mile long list of other things that he could never share (NDA and all that rot) were situations that John was more than prepared to deal with. He was, after all, a surgeon by day and a True Crime junkie by night.
Though, he supposed, he only ever saw the aftermath. He rarely met the murderer, never saw the car make contact with the body, never saw the bullet rip from the barrel, not after those two horrific years in the military anyways, and never once had he found himself suffocating to death in the trunk of a Honda Civic.
That was, of course, until he met Sherlock Holmes.*****************************************************************************
Wherein I throw Doyle's Sherlock Holmes, BBC's Sherlock, CBS's Elementary, Goalhanger/Joel Emery's Sherlock & Co. and my own twisted imagination together like a 'Chopped' basket.Series

Summary
“Just the two of us against the rest of the world." That was what Sherlock had offered John the day he came back from the dead. John had punched his lights out because he was right pissed at Sherlock for leaving him, for making John have to learn how to face the rest of the world without the only person who made John feel that he had a place in it.
And then he came back. He came back, and he asked John to jump right back into the fray, to the blood pumping in his veins, feet pounding on cobblestones and walking canes long forgotten. He asked that it be just the two of them against the rest of the world again.
And John had punched him. Not because he didn't want it. Not at all. It was because John had wanted that exact thing, so badly, every day for two years. John had wanted nothing more than for them to just be... them. For as long as Sherlock would let him, John wanted to stay.
So what changed? Bloody fucking everything. And now it's too late.———
This story is the first installment of a three-part work that is currently in the making.Series

Summary
Whilst on a mission, John and Todd are attacked and stranded on a planet without a working stargate. Their only hope of escape comes in the form of Wraith from Todd's own alliance, who don't know of Todds "dealings" with humans. It's either be caught or, do what Todd does best and lie. One demonstration later and John finds himself on a Hive alongside his dubious companion. What was supposed to be a temporary stop soon becomes a journey into the vastness of the Pegasus Galaxy with no way to contact Atlantis and no way off the ship without being found out and risking not just death, but Todd's alliance itself. Desperate to get back to their respective homes, John and Todd must embark on a long and dangerous quest with no hope for survival except each other.
Across the Universe is the story of trust, acceptance, and love between two unlikely wayward adventurers. It seems that there certainly is a lot about each other that John and Todd don't know.
-Set in season five after "Search and Rescue" and before "The Queen" as an AU timeline.
