An Everlasting Friendship

by divine529

Post-Season 3. We never got much backstory on Sherlock's relationship with Redbeard. Obviously he's affected by his relationship with his beloved dog, but how much? What significance does August 27th have? This gives you a bit of a backstory on Sherlock's relationship with Redbeard, his beloved dog and how John finds out. Also on ao3.

1. Chapter 2

I haven't written in years and I mean years (since high school) and this fic is prompted by not only the allusions to Redbeard in the show (SoT and HLV) but also the death of my own dog this past summer. I'm still a bit raw from that but I couldn't get this out of my head and it's been a little over a month.

Sorry that the characterization is a little off, it's the way I decided to write them so I guess it could be classified as a bit AU-ish. Hope you enjoyed it and I'd love to have any feedback you're willing to give me!

1.) My dog had both Cushing's Disease as well as Congestive Heart Failure and basically what that does is enlarges your heart as well as your liver (Cushings = liver and CHF = heart) and in dogs they get fluid in their lungs and get to the point where they can't breathe anymore.

2.) The first picture is a picture of the place where the monument is and the second is of the statue.

3.) I'm considering making a series out of this, let me know if you want to know more about Sherlock's tales with Redbeard and how John ultimately fits in.

This is also my first venture into the Sherlock fandom, writing wise.

Hope you all enjoy!
