Summary
Together, John and Sherlock have quite a history, a journey, a life. The story begins post Season 4 (selective parts of it, anyway) and will move forward as they realise their desires and yearnings, as they make peace with where they have been - and where they are going.
Literal meaning: things that are desired, based on prosaic *Desiderata* by Max Ehrmann, written in 1929, encourages readers to live peacefully and honestly while staying grounded amid life's distractions. It advises maintaining dignity, avoiding bitterness, and appreciating the beauty in both the world and oneself. The poem ultimately offers a message of hope, resilience, and quiet strength.
The poem is included in its entirety is in chapter 1, with a correlating story. Subsequent chapters, grouped to tell a single story line, will incorporate a snippet of the piece.
The final chapter will include a bit of the backstory of the poem and Mr. Ehrmann's career.

Summary
John Watson is an ex-army trauma surgeon turned A&E doctor. He knows how to stop a bleed, how to restart a heart, how to bring someone back from the edge. He works long hours in fluorescent-lit corridors where everything is urgent and nothing is quiet. It keeps his hands busy. It keeps him moving.
But there’s no emergency procedure for what comes after Sherlock Holmes. No protocol for the kind of silence that follows. Grief doesn’t respond to pressure, or sutures, or CPR. It just sits with him. In the walls of the flat, in the clouded edges of memory, in the things he didn’t say when it might have mattered.
He saves lives by night and loses sleep by day, drifting through London’s streets with too much whiskey in his system and too many ghosts at his back. Sherlock is dead. John knows that. Some nights, it doesn’t feel like enough of an explanation.
Fic lightly inspired by the song Mortals by Tommy Lefroy

Summary
Content Warning:
This story contains themes of addiction relapse, mental health struggles, grief, and emotional trauma. It also explores recovery, found family, and healing.One year after the events of The Final Problem, Sherlock Holmes is living again at 221B Baker Street-with John Watson and baby Rosie now back under the same roof. As John and Sherlock begin to rebuild their relationship, Sherlock finds himself slipping-haunted by the ghost of Moriarty, the shadow of a chilling new case, and the buried guilt of a sister he never truly knew. When the walls start closing in again, the real question becomes: will Sherlock stay sober-or will death be the only way out?

Summary
He wasn’t sure how long it took before he let himself sink into a nearby chair, close enough to touch Sherlock. He didn’t, of course. To place his hand on Sherlock’s seemed impossible at the moment.
And then he realised.
He’d break apart if he let his hand slide into Sherlock’s, to feel a warmth that he thought he would never feel again.
John visits Sherlock in hospital after the shot. His visit unexpectedly reveals more about their relationship than he could ever imagine.

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.”
