Zeno's paradox: To reach a point, one must always reach a halfway point, and from there, the next halfway point. There will always be another halfway point.
Therefore, two objects (or two people) can never touch.
And how does one solve Zeno's paradox?
They don't.
They remain completely alone forever, never touching.
Sherlock Holmes accepts this. At least, he thinks he does.
That is until John Watson enters his life.
*CW: mention of murder-suicide, not described graphically*

Love, Lies & Death ( A Sherlock Fanfiction)
"How are you dealing with your Philophobia?" Sherlock asked, completely ignoring John, who looked more confused as ever. "You haven't forgotten about that, have you?" Minerva smiled at him. Nine years ago she had met him and already knew something was special about him. His deduction skills were something she'd never seen before and yet he still remebered her fear of falling in love. "I'm doing fine, Sherlock. How about you?" Sherlock knew what she was hinting at. He had learned that Minerva was a master at reading peoples emotions within seconds. She must have seen the love in his eyes. He recalled her saying: "A look into someones eyes, for even just a second, is enough for me to know exactly what their feeling." Knowing he would lie to her, Sherlock answered: "I'm doing well." "I'm sorry, but what the bloody hell is going on?" John inquired. A little piece from my story. This Fanfic contains Johnlock, two of my Oc's and lots of mysteries. Be prepaaaaaareeeed. *vibes to Be prepared* ByeComplete
Tricked or Tripped
Sherlock was not as tough as people think he was. This story was about his adventure through ups and downs with his long lost old friend. This was the other side of his successful story, as there were two sides in every story. This was his other side. Check out his exciting story from the scene that have never been told to public. This was his experience to overcome his eagerness when he fell in love. It must be weird for a strict person like him to be a romantic guy. Go ahead and see for yourself!Complete
