Letters

by Rapunzel24

After Sherlock's return, Mrs. Hudson finds a packet of letters while cleaning. They're all adressed to Sherlock, so Mrs. Hudson gives them to him. The letters are little notes of grief penned by John to his best friend during Sherlock's years of absence. They hold the emotions of a man in deep pain, and a person who needs his friend more than ever. (Story includes only letters)

1. Letter 1

Sherlock-

Ella's been telling me to write to you. Tell you all the things I didn't before…well. I've been avoiding it for ages. Now that I'm doing it I still don't know what to write. Christ, Sherlock, my hand is shaking. Isn't that stupid? I'm an idiot, Sherlock, I truly am, like you always said. And I wish I could turn back time because Oh, sod this. Sod all of this.

-John
