This is a follow-up to Neither A Soldier Nor A Gentleman, and it takes place just before and during the opening scenes of Hounds of Baskerville in the context that they occurred not long after the events of Karachi. Why was Sherlock was behaving so erratically in those scenes?

Sherlock brings John and Mary with him on a case in Florence, but he has an ulterior motive: to reunite with Irene and explore intimacy in all its forms. As the deceptions escalate, John fears his friend may be falling into another dangerous trap. Bromance, romance, and angst. M for sexual content and drug references. Sequel to What He Likes, but can be read alone. Sherlock/Irene.

6 months post-Reichenbach, Sherlock approaches Irene with an unusual job offer: he wants to shoot up, and he needs someone to mind him. But can she remain detached whilst Sherlock spirals deeper and deeper into his addiction? A dark and frank character and relationship study. M for pervasive drug use, some language, and sexual content. Adlock. Followed by The Way the Heavens Go.

Missing scenes from the end of ASiB, which unfold over the span of about 48 hours. How does Sherlock actually escape from the Karachi insurgents himself, and what happens when an adrenaline-filled Sherlock finds Irene waiting for him in his hotel room right after his audacious rescue? *COMPLETE*
