Summary
After Mary's death, John Watson is heartbroken and inconsolable. Sherlock Holmes wants nothing more than to find a way to help his friend to be happy again. When Sherlock begins therapy appointments with Ella, she convinces him to write a letter (never to be sent) to express his true feelings for John. When John accidentally stumbles upon this letter, he's forced to come to terms with feelings he's never really acknowledged.
This is the story of how the light and its conductor slowly find their way back to one other.

"You'll never know the irony of that," Harry rolls his eyes.Harry Potter is a time-travelling, furious mess and he is going to kill the Dark Lord. Like most of his plans, things do not work out.

Summary
As he slowly carried the fork to his mouth, the view in front of him momentarily went in and out of focus before suddenly distorting. The light became warmer, the sleeves of his uniform darker, newer. The person sitting opposite to him changed from Nott to a girl in a Gryffindor uniform with dark frizzy hair, their eyes meeting. Harry blinked, and the vision was gone, the hall back to normal. He swallowed. Lately, this had been happening a lot more often than before. Day time visions and vivid dreams, all featuring the same characters. He’d say it was his memories coming back, but…
There was no way those could be his memories.
Because in them, he was someone else.Harry's sixth year at Hogwarts is up to a bad start. The vivid visions and nightmares that have been plaguing him since the incident in his second year (the same incident that took away his memories) are getting worse, and Riddle is acting weird enough that there must be a devious plan in the making.

Summary
“I wouldn’t be hasty,” comments sixth-year Tom Riddle, eyes still glued on the boy in thought. "Harry Evans is going to Slytherin.”
"The strange Mudblood?" Abraxas Malfoy cocks his head. “How can you be so sure?”
Riddle just smiles in response.
Silence settles over the Slytherins, anticipation heavy. And, soon they'll know that Tom Riddle is right again.

From a Drop of Water by victorianpining

Summary
"It was simply my conjecture of what a future world might look like and how you and I might fit inside it. From a drop of water a logician should be able to infer the possibility of an Atlantic or a Niagara."
Sherlock is certain that James Moriarty is dead and he already has a theory for the person behind his apparent return. Considering Sherlock was overdosing at the time, it's only to be expected that he overlooked a few details in coming to his conclusions.
John meanwhile has moved back in with Mary after reconciling with her at Christmas, but finds himself agonising over why Sherlock would have thrown away everything he cares about to keep her safe. Could Sherlock be in love?
A reimagining of Series 4 picking up from the end of The Abominable Bride.

Summary
Sherlock and Mycroft were two parts of the same whole.
When Sherlock fell ill, it blocked the path of growth and separation that normally happens with siblings as they grow up and leave the nest.
And if you fear that your brother might not live long into adulthood, how can you refuse him his deepest wish. At least, that's what Mycroft whispered in the long dark nights after it had all gone to hell....

Summary
They say that people who settle in such isolated, wild places cradled and battered by the sea are exceptionally at peace with themselves or running away from something. Sherlock certainly knows which one applies to him, but what about his reclusive neighbour John Watson?

Summary
Green.
The word green was used to convey a great many things. Illness. Envy. Inexperience.
Standing there amidst Janine's chattering bridesmaids, watching Sherlock furrow his brow and study fabric swatches, watching him smile and simper and flirt, John thought it a remarkably apt colour choice. Because he felt quite sick to his stomach, he feared the source of said sickness might very well be jealousy, and he had absolutely no idea at all what to do about it.
Or: Sherlock needs to fake a relationship for a case. He doesn't ask John.

Summary
They stood face to face in the middle of a clearing. The dim light of the moon barely allowed Sherlock to see the glassy terror in John’s eyes and the sweat that glistened off his forehead. His nose was bleeding again, blood dripping in a slow stream from his right nostril.
They were both gasping for air, John’s eyes locked on Sherlock’s. There was no recognition there, just wild animal fear.
Time stood still for an eternal few seconds, and Sherlock took a shaky breath. “John—”
Spell broken, John spun and bolted back into the woods.
Still heaving for air, Sherlock took off after him.

Summary
“And once again, you think you know what’s best for me.”
John rises from the chair, the anger and frustration and hurt overwhelming him, bursting out of every pore, and he doesn’t even know for sure that it’s Sherlock he’s angry at, really, but the only reason he tied himself to Mary in the first place is because the person he really loved left him behind, and the woman he married once sat in the shadows above a darkened swimming pool and aimed a sniper rifle at his heart and later shot his best friend in cold blood and cuckolded him and just gave birth to a child that wasn’t his and right now he just can’t do this, he just fucking can’t do this anymore.
***
John has to somehow rebuild his life in the wake of Mary's betrayal and Sherlock's deceptions.

Summary
Captain Watson to the rescue! Series compliant until beginning of Season 3 - then all bets are off. Sherlock, off in Serbia, has been captured and severely injured. Mycroft recruits John to aid with freeing him and then overseeing his recovery. The story begins in London but will explode in Serbia, slide into a European hospital and then tiptoe through a safe-house before returning to Baker Street.
Part of the Fandom Trumps Hate 2024 (my very first ever), in which I am humbled and amazed - thank you to all the bidders (gulp, I wasn't sure there'd be any, let alone more than one!) and especially to Podfixx for the highest bid, the donation to a worthy organization, and for the robust, thought-provoking prompt. I hope I will do it justice. Second chance bidder, thank you as well for the bid and for your patience!

DI Lestrade said that Sherlock Holmes was a great man, and one day, if they were very lucky, he'd be a good one. John Watson is many things, but lucky isn't one of them.
This is the story of how the impossible happens.
(Now in chapters for easy downloading!)
The lovely Miamam translated this work into Czech, which is a labor of love if there ever was one. I'm humbled and so very grateful.
Podfic by the incredible, patient, hard-working, and talented AxeMeAboutAxiomancy. Srsly, people. I can't even with the love. Thank you, you wonderful, wonderful person.

Summary
His immune system is decimating his nervous system - a civil war raging inside of him. Is there a reaction he's supposed to be having to this news, now? Something normal: cry, scream, pound the wall? Shake his fist at the uncaring universe?
John can't stop this. An uncomfortable bed at some hospital ward isn't going to stop this.
They keep telling him that this will most likely pass, but no one is answering the most important question: how will he be able to endure the uncertainty and the long wait?

Summary
Two years ago, John's marriage fell apart and he moved back to Baker Street. Things between him and Sherlock are still very much undefined, and John is certain that he'll have plenty of time to figure it all out. This notion proves dangerously false: strange things are set in motion when Sherlock's long-lost “acquaintance” from university appears on their doorstep and a baffling burglary case frustrates Sherlock to no end. What is behind Sherlock's black moods and dwindling health? Where is Mycroft? Why would someone steal artefacts from the British Museum that have interested nary a soul for decades?
In the midst of this thickening fog stands John, who will soon have to take on an enemy much greater than even Moriarty.
