The Tontine by tumbleweedchaser

Summary
Sherlock and John take on a new case that brings John's military history and secrets to the table. The detective is forced to understand that there is a great deal more to John than jumpers, tea, and a love of adrenaline. (Takes place after the Reichenbach Fall, no Mary. There is no smut in this part of the trilogy and it can easily stand alone.)
---------
Sherlock looked to John, eyebrows furrowed, "You have higher security clearance than my brother?"
John licked his lips, eyes flicking from one Holmes brother to the other, both staring at him with equal ferocity and confusion, "Well," he said, "Technically, due to the nature of... yes."Series

Summary
The detective’s head snaps up, his pupils wide and dark. “It was to protect you,” he hisses, face contorting into something ugly and foreign. “Everything I’ve done was to protect you! Leaving you behind, taking down Moriarty’s network, watching you choose her -” he cuts himself off, running a shaking hand through his curls. “I didn’t know she would try to finish the job, John. I honestly didn’t know how far she was willing to go.”
“Then why? Why did you…”
Sherlock laughs, high and hollow, staring at the skull over the mantle. “I thought it would keep you safe. God, sentiment can be so blinding!”
John inhales sharply, reaching back to steady himself against the desk, the wood digging into his palm. “Sentiment?”
"Honestly, John,” Sherlock whispers, leaning back against the wall with a wince. “You see, but you don’t observe.”
