Summary
“You do have the instincts of a fighter, after all.”
William didn’t let it show, but that did take him by surprise—he thought he’d been doing a pretty decent job concealing that particular side of him.
“Oh, do I give it away that easily?” he responded without missing a beat. “My self-defense tutor would be disappointed—my brothers insisted we hire him after I was kidnapped some time ago. He always said the element of surprise was to be my best weapon.”
Sherlock smirked, probably seeing right through him.
“Clever man,” he conceded, but William knew he wasn’t talking about his “tutor”. He was forced to suppress yet another smile. Damn you, Holmes.
We didn't have enough sherliam interactions in canon that were just "I know you know I know you know, but I have to pretend that I don't know" so I'm here to add some more (this fic is pretty much just a love letter to the catch me if you can scene). But also, Milverton is going down—the same way but also differently.
What if Sherlock figured out what William's planning just a little earlier?

Summary
“I suppose the only thing I can offer you at this point is all my heart and all my soul”
"Pardon?"
"I mean—Liam. Do you mind if I call you that? No—never mind. Liam, they say music is the expression of one’s heart and soul."
Sherlock Holmes eyes sparkled in wonder as he clasped his new friends hands in excitement.
All William could think was how close the boys lips were and how he had never met a mind quite like this. Wether that was good or bad remained to be seen.
_______________
Or:
In 1938 Nazi Germany, street urchin William first meets a boy with shining blue eyes. He wasn’t like the others, who offered bread out of pity. Sherlock offered music–and somehow that was enough.
Six years later, in a concentration camp where death is the only freedom, they find each other once more.
Too bad they're fighting on opposite sides. -

Summary
Sherlock leaned over his partner, his braid swinging over his shoulder as he rubbed a finger over William’s bottom lip. They had discovered that in moments such as this, when there was no other option, the two of them could drink from each other.
In Sherlock’s opinion, it was a small price to pay considering his hand in his lover’s current state. Yet still William looked up at him with a soft pained look, gently taking hold of Sherlock’s shoulders even while shivering from hunger. “I don’t want to hurt you.”
When he responded he spoke softly, caressing his lover’s lip with the pad of his thumb and speaking with complete honesty. “But I want you to.”

Summary
He spread both of his arms wide, a performer taking a final bow, and stepped back off the ledge.
Sherlock shouted, “Don’t–!”
He raced to the edge and threw himself down against the unstable wood, stretching for William’s hand, to catch him. But when he looked down, the other man was already out of reach, and Sherlock’s fingers caught nothing but air, his heart stopping in his chest as William’s serene smile grew further and further away.

Summary
ㅤㅤWait.
ㅤㅤBlond hair, scarlet eyes.
ㅤㅤ“You're William James Moriarty.” Sherlock says, sounding dumbfounded.
ㅤㅤWilliam chuckles, as if expecting to hear that. “That's me alright.”
ㅤㅤSherlock eyes him. This is William James Moriarty, the renowned prim, proper and intelligent gentleman? Smoking in the middle of the night barely dressed, covered only by a thin pair of pajamas and a coat?
ㅤㅤDoes he and the university know the same William James Moriarty? -

Summary
“The torch at the start of the procession sputtered out too quickly. It released thick black smoke after.”
William falters, eyebrows furrowed. “What?”
“It is true.” The other in the room, his brother, Albert, confirms. “Everyone saw it. And you know what omen that is.”

In which Sherlock has to learn not to look back at the past and face the present.

Summary
What if Liam's little Passing Out Randomly thing decided to make an appearance after Sherlock shot Milverton? Logically, Sherlock probably would have picked him up and ran before the fucking house burned down. Of course, this causes some issues, mainly William waking up with the full knowledge that Sherlock knows who he is and did it anyway.
Or: William blatantly refuses to acknowledge his weaknesses while Sherlock holds him gently, and Sherlock has a crisis over what the fuck love is.Series
