Summary
“No, Sherlock,” John continues, “I wasn't sat in 221B for three years eating jam and haunting the rooftop of St. Bart's. Who d'you think I am, mate? Not as if you were the first friend I've lost. You pick up the pieces and move on. Course I missed you. Course it was hard. It's not like I was going to just fall to pieces though, was I? That's just not me.”
Sherlock returns to find Dr. Watson a recent widower. John is handling things very well, but Sherlock, with all his usual tact and grace, discovers the perils of insulting Mrs. Watson. Follows the events of "The Empty House" pretty damn faithfully.

Summary
The first time, so strange, their mouths with the rough tongues of night-birds, shivering with dew and warming with dawn. Killers have been there, close by.
In which wisdom and war.

Summary
Despite all the things John loses when Sherlock jumps from that rooftop, the one thing that remains firmly in place—against all odds—is his sanity, his mind.
Sherlock, unfortunately, may not be so lucky.
Or: the one where it's Sherlock who thinks John's a figment of his imagination when he finally returns home, not the other way around.

Summary
Sequel to "One Way Out." Post-Reichenbach, Sherlock and John are being hunted across London by Moran. Told from the point of view of all three men.
Pre-slash or Non-slash, depending on your worldview."Hypervigilance is nothing new. So if you wake up one day and discover someone is after you specifically, nothing changes much.
You see everything. Maybe you don't observe, but you see, you hear, you smell, your amygdala processes, and you act. When you're not moving, you are very, very still. You disappear. Everyone is a potential combatant, even more so than in Afghanistan, where uniforms at least meant something. Everything is a potential weapon. You have to sleep, but you sleep lightly, even though there's an overprotective insomniac lurking nearby. And if he's not there when you wake up, you know, even before you open your eyes."

A sequel to Spectre (http://archiveofourown.org/works/571335), which should be read first. I gave up on the d/s being just subtextual.

After, Watson helps Holmes deal with Holmes's emotions about having been gone in the first place.
