Mycroft The Ice man has been feeling lonely so when Sherlock invites him to a party, he finds it incredible he even considers going and when there's a drunken kiss between him and DI Lestrade things take a huge turn in his life, but for better or worse?

He was a lonely child. But he had one friend. A friendship born from need, a friendship that has stood for almost thirty years. A friendship that has developed, developed to the point that each needs the other to survive. But Sherlock needs to leave. And he doesn't know how he will survive. He relives it, every moment of the thirty years they have spent together. But it will finish. As Sherlock Holmes stands on the top of the building, looking at his oldest friend, flatmate, colleague, lover, he wonders if he made the right choice, becoming John Watson's friend. Because Sherlock needs to leave John. And Sherlock doesn't think he can. DISCLAIMER: I do not own any of the Sherlock characters, they were all invented by the amazing Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and physical descriptions and some plot lines belong to BBC's Sherlock.

TRIGGER WARNINGS Self harm and suicide Problems have a funny habit of escalating. What begins solely as a lack of communication quickly unravels into the deep, dark tragedy of a broken heart. When John Watson's only love is stolen from him, he has to survive, and thrive without Sherlock Holmes by his side.

Sequel to And All We Need of Hell. Teenage Sherlock and John deal with the aftermath of their encounter with Moriarty, but more troubles arise when Sherlock becomes involved in the villain's court case. Trigger warning: references to self-injury, thoughts of suicide, and sexual abuse.

Johnlock (John/Sherlock) Trigger Warnings: Smut, Minor death, Drug Addiction, PTSD, Non-Consent Sherlock had not been the same since coming back to London. Voices of the dead screaming in his mind. When John finds out, he goes to help his friend, but when Sherlock reveals a huge secret, life as John knows it changes forever. Will he keep the life he has, or give up everything for the broken detective?

Description inside. (ok this fic has so much angst you'll probably drown in it but if you're down for a roller coaster ride then you came to the right place)

The Things They Never Said by thetimegoddess
