Summary
Mrs. Hudson has questions. "What happened again? You said John got hurt?"
"Yes. Long story, but an escaped convict with a knife." Sherlock leaves out the words dirty and contaminated. "He got in the way." He also leaves out the fact that John, in a moment of sheer idiocy had flung himself between the knife and Sherlock's chest. "Just a clean out, some antibiotics."
There is a pause, and Sherlock can almost feel the unrest coming through the line. "You're not telling me everything." After all this time, she sees. And sees.
Of course she does, Sherlock laments. There's no one around to see Sherlock roll his eyes, but he does it anyway.

Summary
Sometimes we don't realise what we have until it's nearly taken from us.
Sometimes nearly losing someone shakes things up.
And sometimes, exposing hidden secrets changes the dynamic. Which is not necessarily a bad thing - ask either John or Sherlock.

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.

Summary
Part of a larger series, the main story being Giving All. A recap as I drop you into the middle of the plot of this series: while pregnant, Mary Watson was involved in a motor vehicle accident, in which she was mortally injured and Baby Watson arrived by emergency c-section quite prematurely. Ultimately, Mary was determined to be brain dead and, following her wishes, she became an organ donor. The baby, named Fiona, at the time of this writing remained medically fragile, on a ventilator in the NICU.
Sherlock has been keeping vigil at John's side since the trauma begin: learning about the accident, when he found out about Mary's infidelity, when the baby suffered a complication, when he heard the specifics of the organ donation process. When he said goodbye in Mary's ICU room.
This piece is very much a side-bar occurrence surrounding some specifics about John's wishes regarding Mary's funeral. And Big Brother Holmes rising to the occasion as fierce protector.

Summary
Sometimes, only sometimes, when Sherlock is very far away and absolutely guaranteed not to return for at least three hours, John sits on the sofa and lets the tea make itself.
In which John is (reluctantly) a wizard, Mycroft is (apparently) omniscient, and Sherlock is (surprisingly) oblivious.
