The Consulting Pirate by HotCrossPigeon reviews
Sherlock finds himself feverish and under the ridiculous delusion that he is a pirate. Oneshot. Excessive Sherlock whump. A side order of caring, bemused John. And a seemingly unruffled Mycroft.

They demand apologies every once a while and Sherlock for once provides them freely because they need to heal and move forward.

Flashback by Light In Shadows reviews
It starts off as a fairly straightforward case. That is, until the explosion goes off down the street. It takes only a second for DI Lestrade to loose all control over the situation, for John to find himself transported back to a land of blood and sand and car bombs, and for Sherlock to know exactly how to handle it.

Late Night Cigarettes by Gwen's Blue Box reviews
Of course they have always known that both of their sons have dangerous and difficult jobs and do not exactly lead calm lives. Of course. And yet, when their elder son calls to inform them that someone has put a bullet in their younger son and that he is in hospital, there is absolutely nothing that could ever have prepared them for that./Holmes parents. One-shot. HLV filler.

Never mind the cough by Rephis reviews
Something dangerous has worked its way into John's system, and is slowly but inexorably ravaging the doctor from inside. How long will it take him and Sherlock to understand just how serious the situation is? Too long, perhaps. Sick!fic, no slash.

Pure and Simple Truth by SHERlocked221C reviews
In response to a tumblr prompt r.e. the original scene between Sherlock and Molly written for The Final Problem. "He paused the video.
