Summary
Together, John and Sherlock have quite a history, a journey, a life. The story begins post Season 4 (selective parts of it, anyway) and will move forward as they realise their desires and yearnings, as they make peace with where they have been - and where they are going.
Literal meaning: things that are desired, based on prosaic *Desiderata* by Max Ehrmann, written in 1929, encourages readers to live peacefully and honestly while staying grounded amid life's distractions. It advises maintaining dignity, avoiding bitterness, and appreciating the beauty in both the world and oneself. The poem ultimately offers a message of hope, resilience, and quiet strength.
The poem is included in its entirety is in chapter 1, with a correlating story. Subsequent chapters, grouped to tell a single story line, will incorporate a snippet of the piece.
The final chapter will include a bit of the backstory of the poem and Mr. Ehrmann's career.
