midnight rain; sherlock holmes

Many people, if not all, would think Sherlock Holmes was a man who would never fall in love. With how he is constantly on cases and how nonchalant he was with others, it was safe to assume so. But the many people, if not all, didn't know something. They did not know that Sherlock Holmes has, in fact, fallen in love with someone. Married someone, actually.

The two met three years ago, married for two. They were newlyweds, happy and in love.

Until one night, she left. No note, no explanation. Just left. Though, as Sherlock Holmes, he solved the mystery rather quickly. He knew he left her, not for another person-no, he didn't know everything about her but he knew she would never do that. But for a rebellion. For the union, secret organization, his mother was a part of.

Over a year has pased and Sherlock still hasn't seen her. Unaware of the fact that she's been watching over him all this time.

❝i've been fighting all my life, sherlock. ❞

❝don't you think i know that? of course i know you're a fighter. it was one of the reasons that made me fall in love with you. i just... i wanted you to fight, i did, i still do. but i wanted to be there after the fight, nursing your wounds.❞

❝sherlock-❞

❝you have fought and took care of everyone but yourself. i wanted to be the person that shows you it's okay to lean on someone.❞

IMPORANT NOTE: this will be following the enola holmes storyline NOT the bbc one. to me, bbc!sherlock is aroace. but the enola holmes!sherlock has no indication yet so far so i will be writing this as is. hate will be deleted <3
