companion scene for "Dear John." Sherlock shows up at 221B, as requested, ready to either apologize or beg. (Will make more sense if you've read "Dear John" first.)

Sherlock gets sick, not 'he'll recover in a few days' sick but hospitalised for a long time sick. His friends are all there to help him but he is Sherlock, he doesn't want or need their help. Rated T just to be safe. This involves all of the recurring characters, there just wasn't room for them all in the 'characters' section.

With Sherlock dead, John eventually (under duress) makes a profile on an online dating site. And falls into a long-distance relationship with an enigmatic partner who reminds him of Sherlock in all the right ways. (Hint: it turns out to be Sherlock.) Updated in real time!

Sherlock is diagnosed with a terminal illness. Warning: angst like whoa.
