Downloaded part 1
*****from author’s note:
Ultimately this fic is still always and forever about those three things I hated: Sherlock's understanding of love, Sherlock's deceit of John, and the overcomplicated plots, because as soon as I added to those three things a faked death that necessitated multiple co-conspirators, there was an automatic and fascinating break. Sherlock treats John like the other, like a child or a pet to be protected, not as a partner and a peer, but John is a grown man. He has opinions and feelings and agency, and so does Mycroft, and so does Molly, and so do Harry and Lestrade and Mike and Irene. If Sherlock wants to fake his own death to go and take down Moriarty's organization from within, well, fine, but there's a hell of a lot of other people on this show, and it'd take a hell of a lot more than they've given me to make me believe that all of them are just going to sit around and kick it, especially if we're supposed to believe that some of them know that Sherlock is alive. -

Bookmarker's Notes
Series of short stories.
***There had been moments when Sherlock had thought, maybe. Drawn-out seconds when their eyes had caught and breaths had slowed and Sherlock had thought, possibly. When he’d thought that maybe he wasn’t the only one who wanted–-that maybe, if he reached, John would reach back.
But there hadn’t been time and the moments had passed, and John has been living alone in the house in the suburbs for almost a month.
It’s fine, Sherlock thinks. He’s learned how to love John Watson years ago: quietly, where no one else can see.
Eventually he’ll get up and stoke the fire. He’ll make a cup of tea, check the website. Play something on the violin. Turn on the telly and fill the room with noise to drown out all the silences. He’ll manage. He’ll make do. It’s not like he’s losing anything he had before.
Somewhere in the flat, the doorbell rings.

Summary
Now is not the time to say something.
But if he wants me…
Now is the very worst time to say something.
Now is also the very last time to say something.
Last chance. Now or fucking never. Make up your mind, Holmes.
