Summary
Captain Watson to the rescue! Series compliant until beginning of Season 3 - then all bets are off. Sherlock, off in Serbia, has been captured and severely injured. Mycroft recruits John to aid with freeing him and then overseeing his recovery. The story begins in London but will explode in Serbia, slide into a European hospital and then tiptoe through a safe-house before returning to Baker Street.
Part of the Fandom Trumps Hate 2024 (my very first ever), in which I am humbled and amazed - thank you to all the bidders (gulp, I wasn't sure there'd be any, let alone more than one!) and especially to Podfixx for the highest bid, the donation to a worthy organization, and for the robust, thought-provoking prompt. I hope I will do it justice. Second chance bidder, thank you as well for the bid and for your patience!

Summary
Does Sherlock have a blind spot when it comes to John Watson? Perhaps. [Of course he does]
Has he had said blind spot for a long time? Absolutely. And about multiple topics.
Current events in John's life bring some interesting things to light as they navigate life - and discover each other - on Baker Street.

Summary
A postscript to Giving All, in which there was an auto accident, an organ donation, and two men who finally found each other in tragedy.
This companion piece takes a little detour, a different angle on those events.

Summary
Sherlock was used to John getting his girlfriends mixed up, sure.
He just wasn't used to being included IN that bunch...

Summary
He had wanted to wait until after the new year, but it seemed that John needed some kind of pick me up to get him through his first Rosie-less Christmas. Maybe a get-away was just the thing. Not an exotic, far-away place, but just far enough removed to escape the melancholy and focus on fresh surroundings.
And he could kill two birds with one stone in the process.
Yes. Good. He would do this.

Summary
John shifted his weight on his feet and squinted down at the dock, watching as a large crate was craned aboard. He felt movement to his right and straightened his shoulders, anticipating Captain Lestrade—but the shadow that fell over him was too tall, too thin.
This would be Mr. Holmes.- Language:

Summary
“People would talk,” he tries, repurposing an old line, a shortcut to a recurring theme in their lives.
“They do little else.” John dutifully completes the circuit with a sigh. “Sherlock,” he continues haltingly, eyes falling back to his hands as he considers his words. “Would they be wrong, though, really?”

Summary
The idea of Sherlock and Eurus connecting over music, over anything, is terrifying. Mycroft has spent decades watching over Sherlock, talking about their fictional family dog and the myth of the east wind, trying to protect Sherlock from the things he doesn’t remember. He’s worried about Sherlock and stood guard over Eurus, and been worse than useless in the end. He was complicit. While he thought he was juggling both threats, maintaining enough control over the situation to keep everyone safe (mostly Sherlock, but the rest of the world as well), he had allowed the threat to escalate.
In which Mycroft is not an easy man to know and an even harder one to look after. Fortunately, Lestrade is diligent and determined, and knows how to pay attention to people. Where family comes with obligations, but it also cares, even when you don't want them around. Where life mostly goes as expected, but sometimes has unanticipated joys.
