After Sherlock's apparent death in TRF, John realises he knew practically nothing about his friend. He delves into Sherlock's past to find the truth about the man he lived with. But what will happen when a shadowy figure from Sherlock's past shows up on the doorstep of 221B? Post-Reichenbach, eventual JohnxOC

Five times Sherlock tried to tell John he was interested... and one time the message was actually delivered. Johnlock (obviously).

In between Sherlock's death and return, John struggled. With the help of friends both old and new, John learns how to at least cope with the loss of his best friend. He learns how to live again and discovers new things to keep him going, even if it's not the same anymore. Post-Reichenbach. COMPLETE. Rated for violence & hints of adult themes. (In Between 'verse)

"If a clock could count down to the moment you meet your soul mate, would you want to know?"

Sherlock and John decide to fend off boredom with a night of heavy drinking.

The five times John was nearly too late for Sherlock, and the one time he wasn't.

Sherlock and John have been working and living together for nearly a year, each finding the other's friendship to be the one thing they would not risk or want to live without. Until something happens to disturb the status quo... Slash.

Just where exactly is the line between "to love" and "to be in love"? What difference is required between "flatmate" and "husband"? Besides the rings, obviously. The important bit is that they have each other. Married asexual!Sherlock/Straight!John.

John is struck with a memory from his teenage years. / / "You drew this," John grins, pointing to the little drawing on the paper. "You gave it to me when you were five. I babysat you."

Roommates are curious things. Curious in the way that no-one ever really wants one initially, and yet they always have this knack of sticking around. And sometimes, they work their way into your life until you can't imagine it without them - John/Sherlock

John becomes ill from an ill-advised swim in the Thames. In March. Cue Sherlock and his Bedside Comforts
