Summary
Five years after the events of His Last Vow, John Watson finds himself once again in mourning: for the wife he lost too soon, the daughter he never knew, and the life he thought he'd have. He’d have to find a new normal. Take the blanket of his sorrow and fold it into a pocket square to remain tucked hidden over his heart, just a corner peaking up to public view every now and again.
*****
Sherlock had adjusted when John moved out. There was never any thought to another flatmate. To find one person willing to live with him had been a miracle, and Sherlock Holmes did not hold much stock in miracles.
And yet, here was Doctor John Watson sitting in his old chair, with a duffle next to it filled with seven, no six days’ worth of clothes, and adrift as the day Sherlock met him. -

Summary
Written Pre-Season 4 [completed and published before 1/1/17 and "canon compliant at the time of posting"] although the events take place Post-Season 4:
John rescues a child from a car explosion and suffers physical and emotional consequences-vertigo, deafness, PTSD. With his family taken from him, only Sherlock is left to pick up the pieces. Will John let him? [As this was written before Season 4, it makes certain assumptions. If S4 follows canon trajectory, Mary and baby will die. This fic makes no predictions how. Warning: Casefic chapters 7-16, refer to crimes of pedophilia.)

Summary
John Watson was a doctor, trained to observe details; a fact Sherlock had never been more aware of than when a drugged John’s lifesaving instructions were based on an unlabeled syringe and an unconscious murder suspect’s body.

Summary
They stood face to face in the middle of a clearing. The dim light of the moon barely allowed Sherlock to see the glassy terror in John’s eyes and the sweat that glistened off his forehead. His nose was bleeding again, blood dripping in a slow stream from his right nostril.
They were both gasping for air, John’s eyes locked on Sherlock’s. There was no recognition there, just wild animal fear.
Time stood still for an eternal few seconds, and Sherlock took a shaky breath. “John—”
Spell broken, John spun and bolted back into the woods.
Still heaving for air, Sherlock took off after him.
