Author's Note:
Hey there, so this is my first Sherlock Fan Fiction and I hope you all enjoy. Please note the following;
Characters: Sherlock H, John W, Lestrade, Mycroft H, Donovan, and of course, Jim Moriarty.
Rating: I guess M or something for drug mentions, drug use, and self-mutilation.
Note: There is no sex of any type in this story. Not between Sherlock and John or anyone. While I like reading a bit of that, I decided to try and keep this story close to the actual show. And in the actual show, Sherlock and John are not together.
Another Note: There are ten chapters.
Anyways, enjoy!

SHERLOCK
TALES OF A FRAGILE MIND
Moriarty is gone and there's only one thing left to occupy Sherlock Holmes; the drugs. They make him twitch, his skin burn and his blood boil. They call out to him when his mind is bored and Sherlock doesn't know if he can ignore them much longer.
Chapter One: Flashback
John Watson knew he was going to die. There was nothing he could do, nothing the amazing Sherlock Holmes could do either. He'd ripped the vest from John and thrown it away. They'd thought they were safe... and then Moriarty came back.
Sherlock pointed the gun at the man, his eyes level, his thin frame poised. Moriarty just stood there, daring Sherlock with his eyes.
And then John watched as Sherlock lowered the gun, pointing it at the vest.
John looked into Sherlock's eyes and he realised he would do it; if he was going to die, Sherlock Holmes was going to take Jim Moriarty with him.
Sherlock had never much cared for himself. He'd done enough drugs and thrown himself into enough situations to know that his life didn't matter. But John– poor Dr John Watson. Sherlock had dragged John into his fractured, dangerous world, and now the army doctor was paying the cost.
They would die here, together. Sherlock Holmes and John Watson. John, one of the few men who accepted Sherlock for who he was.
They were friends, brothers.
Brother's in arms, Sherlock thought. John gulped and Moriarty twitched. Sherlock pulled the trigger.
