    Summary

    John is living a quiet life at 221B with his son when Sherlock Holmes, dead and gone ten years, appears at his door. There’s an excellent reason he’s been gone, and several very good ones for taking him back, but the best one of all is Will, who falls in love with Sherlock as surely as John once did.

    Summary

    A non-canonical, not-quite-an-AU retelling of ACD's detective and his doctor. The stories assume that Watson was an unreliable narrator attempting to make his telling of their cases acceptable for publication. As a narrator, Holmes is more reliable, but justifies many things to himself as he struggles to understand and express his feelings for Watson.

    Summary

    “How did you come to be in this place?”

    I have no idea what possessed me. Perhaps the sheer exhaustion of transport had weakened my filter. Or maybe it was simply that as I looked at the young doctor sitting opposite me, his face calm and professional, but bored (Shares a flat with a mate, who is seducing his girlfriend. Down on his luck. Evidence: clothing and shoes are good quality, but worn. Had to pawn his bag, but could have gotten more for the watch. Sentimental…) I had a sudden whim to give him an interesting story.

    I decided that Dr John Watson would at least have something to tell his flatmate tonight when he arrived back at his shabby little flat. Or maybe his girlfriend, if she hadn’t left him yet.

    And the truth was even more interesting than anything I could make up.

    Summary

    Sometimes the universe winks at you, just to let you know.

    Excerpt: John is just muttering some nonsense about bit different from my day when they enter the lab. A tall fellow with dark, curly hair is using a pipette to drop some liquid into a Petri dish. Hearing John’s voice, he looks up.
    Sherlock Holmes.
    They both freeze for a moment. He stares into those grey eyes that haven’t changed, still seeing every detail.
    Holmes gives a tiny smirk. “Afghanistan or Iraq?”
    It’s been years, and he is surprised at how much it still hurts. Realising that he’s staring, he clears his throat, shuffles his feet, and mumbles something about an appointment he’s forgotten.

    OR: John and Sherlock meet again, years after they were school boys together. John hasn't forgotten why he still hates Sherlock Holmes.
