Summary
In chaos theory, the butterfly effect is the sensitive dependence on initial conditions in which a small change in one state of a deterministic nonlinear system can result in large differences in a later state.
So, what happens, if Sherlock only came back after three years instead of two?
What happens, if John is already married and has a daughter, by the time he’s back?
What happens, when Sherlock realises the life he had, didn’t magically stop and wait for him, and the people around him moved on without him?And what role does his brother play in all of this?

Summary
It is not uncommon for John to go to bed while Sherlock is out and about, running rampant. He’s used to it by now. What he is not used to is waking up to the same empty flat. Sherlock’s bed is undisturbed; identical to how it had been left when John checked last night, on the off chance that Sherlock had slipped in unannounced. John knows that there is something wrong.
Lestrade thinks John is being overly cautious, but agrees to keep an ear out.
It’s almost ten in the morning when John gets a call back.
Leaving well enough alone isn't a phrase in Sherlock Holmes's repertoire.

Summary
It's been 2 years since Sherlock has seen him. Sherlock Holmes has been counting the seconds since John Watson left. Since Mary died. It wasn't supposed to be like that, it wasn't supposed to go so wrong. A complicated labor left Mary worse for wear...and a widowed John in shambles.
Sherlock is now left to pick up the pieces, and move onward, his old life a distant memory. He's settled into his life, or at least pretends to be. Until a peculiar case sends him drudging into the small coastal village of Chideock, and he finds far more than what he bargained for.
That doesn't necessarily mean it's a good thing. -

Summary
Taking place during “His Last Vow,” with a case based on “The Adventure of the Noble Bachelor.”
After finding out that Mary had a previous life as an assassin, John isn’t sure how to handle it. He can’t talk to her, can barely look at her, and so he moves back into 221B Baker Street until he feels ready to see her again.Mary doesn’t want to be alone while she’s pregnant, and her husband is no longer any help. So she enlists in the help of the consulting detective to keep her company.
Sherlock is caught in the middle of it. He knows John and Mary still love each other, so what’s the point in tiptoeing past each other and only talking through him? But there are things even Sherlock can’t see coming, and it may save the relationship or make things worse.

Summary
[from French, meaning "in a position to be taken"]
“It’s new to you, isn’t it?” Moriarty said softly. “Losing.”
Sherlock moved his queen again and focused on the board.
“It’s exciting, though,” Moriarty replied thoughtfully, drumming his fingers. “Despite all of big brother’s efforts, you’ve spent your entire life alone. No one ever understanding your games. Playing with policemen who can’t keep up with you. Even if you're losing, it's someone you can actually play with.”
