    Summary

    Things hadn’t felt right in 221B since John and Rosie moved back in. Everything was off. Wrong. If only Sherlock knew it was about to get even worse. But, for vegetation to return to a barren wasteland, rain from thunderstorms is necessary. A brushfire, even, to burn away the old and provide nourishment for the new… and to expose a truth that’s been present all along.

    Excerpt from Chapter 1:

    He stumbled as he was yanked backwards by the chain of the handcuffs, Mr. Morrison’s cruel hand having snaked under his Belstaff to assert his control. John met his eye. He nodded once, almost harshly, in the regimented yet reassuring manner of a soldier. Sherlock knew he was painfully squeezing his hands together behind his back as if to punish himself; lips bitten red and a tightly clenched jaw also betrayed the worry behind his steely façade.

    “I’ll kill him,” John said, terrifyingly calm. “I’ll kill him and bring you home. I will.”

    Summary

    Thanks to Sherlock's inability to resist satisfying his curiosity, he's been turned into a small child of about seven (or five, depending on who you're asking) years old. Rather than let Sherlock be taken to a laboratory, John volunteers to look after him. After all, he's had to look after a man-child, how hard can a child-child be?

    Poor John. He has no idea.

    Summary

    After not hearing from John for months after his daughter was born, Sherlock starts receiving hand-written letters from him telling Sherlock about his day, asking him how he's been doing, asking him for help...it's the last bit that gets them both in to a bit of a bind.

    "John likes to start his letters with “Dear Friend”, but Sherlock can’t bring himself to use the term in return. It feels like John has been his only true friend throughout his entire life, and John knows that already.

    And if John will not allow him to sign his letters, he decides that he will end them all the same from here on out.

    When you’re ready to stop being an idiot…
    When you’re ready to stop fighting this stupid battle of who could care less…
    When you’re ready to let me help you…
    When you’re ready to be done sneaking around…
    When you’re ready to speak to me properly again…
    When you’re ready to come home…

    He says all of these and more with three simple words: “When you’re ready…” that, in the end, roughly translate to “I’m here. I’m waiting. Come home.”"

    Summary

    All flatmates need to work out domestic matters between them - who does the dishes, who takes out the rubbish, how often does the carpet need to be vacuumed - these are part and parcel of sharing a living space together.

    However, when you’re an elf and your flatmate is going to be a human you just met, this rather complicates things…

    Very loosely inspired by 'The Elves and The Shoemaker' by The Brothers Grimm.

    Summary

    John once said that if Sherlock ever felt the need to use drugs, he could call him. Sherlock never imagined he’d actually do it—until Victor Trevor’s years-too-late funeral leaves him reeling. For the first time, Sherlock reaches out, and John is there to help him navigate the memories, cravings, and emotions he can no longer ignore. In the aftermath, Sherlock begins to realize that asking for help might be the first step toward something he never thought possible: A future built on connection, trust, and love.

    Post Season 4. Only the barest fleeting mention of Rosie.

    Summary

    "Which child minder?" Sherlock asks with an air of suspicion. "Not the same one you used last Tuesday, I hope. Rosamund doesn't like that insufferable woman, and who could blame her? Imagine, thinking someone of Watson's intellect would be duped by cheap parlour tricks and tomfoolery."

    "... Sherlock, it's peek-a-boo. Everybody plays peek-a-boo with babies."

    After moving back into 221B with Rosie, John discovers that Sherlock has been hiding a chronic health condition caused by John's attack on him in the morgue. Together they navigate the fallout, becoming a family in the process.
