Summary
Set during The Adventure of the Empty House. Holmes and Watson catch up on the last three years and share open discussions about their friendship.
We sat in comfortable silence, smoking and absorbing the late night sounds of Baker Street which filtered through the faded newsprint. Holmes reclined his head, releasing a finely shaped ring of cigar smoke which floated out before him. I supplied my own smaller ring, purely for the joy of doing so, and watched as it wobbled upwards. The two circles floated around each other before breaking apart and dissolving into a single cloud upon meeting.

Summary
"Oh, so you admit it! You think mine is small!"
"Yeah. You know what? I do. I bet it's tiny."
Sherlock put on his best drama queen face and shouted, "I take umbrage at that comment, John Watson, umbrage!"
"Does your teeny little wee take umbrage, too, Sherlock?"
"Oh! Shall we settle this, once and for all, then?"
John's eyebrow shot up to the ceiling. "Go on, cowboy, let's see what you're packing."

Summary
A few weeks after Sherlock's return, he drags John to his childhood home in Yorkshire. There's just something about the place.
/It says a lot about how Sherlock views their relationship, he supposes, that he’s brought him here—or it would, if it were anyone else.

Summary
And his mind! It's like a plane crash, twisted, smoldering metal scattered for miles across a debris field, each bit of wreckage marked with a tiny evidence flag representing a separate bit of dread or guilt or pain -- or fear? -- all of it cracked loose from the same terrible occurrence.
There's a little girl in this hospital who is hurt because Sherlock failed. And at her side, there is a father who will never speak to him again.

Summary
“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.

Bookmarker's Notes
the things we deserved
-
Tags
Summary
They’re sure of each other, now. They’re settled. And as far as Sherlock is concerned, settled isn’t the least bit boring or stifling or constraining.
Settled is marvellous. Settled is freeing.
Settled means sometimes you make romantic love by candlelight, murmuring hushed words of endless devotion solely because you want to, because the moment feels right and good.
And sometimes, settled means you fuck on the sofa on a Saturday afternoon, straightforward and uncomplicated, no deep desperate romance necessary, just because fucking is fun.
