Summary
"I've had dreams of London all of my life," Sherlock confesses abruptly. The blond man nods contemplatively, seeming to accept his words. Immediately, Sherlock feels regret crawl across his skin. He coughs on the smoke, muttering, "I don't know why I said that," like it's a shameful secret.
"No worries, mate. I'm shipping out to Afghanistan in a week," the man says in response, like it's no big deal. "There, now we've both tossed out complete non-sequiturs."
AKA a younger Sherlock and John meet outside a bar before John's first due to ship out to Afghanistan. It goes from there.

Summary
“What happened in Afghanistan?” Sherlock asks, and John smiles, because this is something the detective cannot deduce, because it isn’t a fact and it didn’t leave a mark, and it didn’t change how his body moved.
All it did was leave fingerprints on his thoughts.
All it did was prepare him for this day, so that this day would not be the first time he saw the light. So that this day, he could stop his friend from rushing to his doom.

It's just coffee, a little biscuit on the side sometimes, or a pastry if it's been an especially hard week. That he's made the time for it between cases, twice a week for the past month, doesn't mean it ought to matter.

Summary
Five times John didn't want to be carried, and one time he did.
“Christ, Mike, I think he’s in love with me,” John says, then drops his forehead on the bar.
Mike takes a long swallow of beer, then eyes John a bit more closely. “What the hell makes you think that? He’s not … I mean, not that I don’t like the bloke, I mean, I do, but really. Sherlock? You sure you don’t still have concussion issues?”

Summary
First Person Sherlock POV
John told Sherlock on a Tuesday that he was being redeployed to Afghanistan. What could Sherlock do but retaliate? How could he lose his best friend, the first friend he truly had, that he was aware of, to a danger more real than anything Sherlock could protect John from? Especially when...
Well, they only have so much time left, and they spend it together, gleefully as best they can. Suddenly, John isn't just Sherlock's friend anymore, but something else, something more profound and... /needed/ than Holmes will care to admit. It's only when John leaves for real that he realizes that yes, this is indeed love, something he thought he couldn't even begin to imagine.
Left alone to his own devices, Sherlock tries to understand his feelings for John, trying not to let anything on when they have video-chats. When John is about to come home on leave for the Holidays, Sherlock swears he will tell him how he feels. But the ringing doorbell stops him... It is not John, who he's expecting, at the door...
