"Romantic entanglement would complete you as a human being."
John, more than anything else, wants Sherlock to be happy. Sherlock, more than anything else, wants to make John happy.
These two goals are not as in sync as one would think.

Summary
In which Sherlock's death is announced a bit... prematurely in HLV. Things spiral from there.
__“Sit, Dr. Watson. I beg of you. I’ll get you some water and then I’d be happy to take you to him so you can say goodbye.”
“Ah. Mm. No. No. It’s not possible, all right? It’s Sherlock. Sherlock. I already… I already…"
I already suffered this once. This time, it’ll kill me.
“Is there anyone we can call for–”
But John was no longer listening. He was walking. Fast; in strides as long as his legs could manage. Away from Dr. Fredericks. Far from the A&E waiting area. Toward the grand glass entryway. Shouts followed him as he went – requests for him to come back, to sit down, to listen. They faded in volume the farther John’s feet carried him and dissipated entirely as soon as the automatic doors slid shut.

Patterns of Return by wordsandpics for Engazed, Silvergirl

Summary
House martins are agile migratory swallows that follow a fixed seasonal pattern: departing southern England each autumn and returning in spring to rebuild their nests beneath eaves and along cliffs. Their arrival and departure mark a quiet cycle — one of absence, return, and the traces left behind.
Told entirely through Sherlock Holmes’ one-sided emails over four years, this is a story of beekeeping, forensic decay, questionable jam, and emotional migration — of two men making their way back to one another, one season at a time.

“Sherlock, do you believe that you deserved the beating John gave you?”
He’s quiet. This question is an unsolvable riddle, every time he’s asked it.
~*~
Sherlock has never known how to take care of himself — let alone anybody else. But if he wants John back in his life, he knows he’ll have to try. In the wake of Mary’s death and John’s rejection, a countryside retreat and a new friendship help Sherlock begin to grow into a better man.
