When John comes home from work late, limping, and gripping a cane in his right hand, Sherlock demands data. And finds a new respect for John and their friendship in how John provides it.

It was only when people actually saw John working as a physician that they began to understand: that it wasn't just about bullets and IEDs and trauma care under fire.

After the events in Dewer's Hollow, John and Lestrade each needed some time alone. But when their paths unexpectedly crossed later that night, Lestrade found not only a kindred spirit, but also a friend in need.

Even Mycroft, who had access to his file didn't realise what John Watson was capable of. At least, not until that night - AU oneshot, set after 'The Reichenbach Fall'

..., one time he was bad, and one time he managed to be a good patient. Humor, drama and fluff, all in one.

Part 4 of the "Invisible" series. Moriarty is back, and this time, he's after John's gift. The only problem? He thinks it belongs to Sherlock. Yes, it's the Reichenbach episode, people! (14 chapters)
