Sherlock had never expected to fall in love. Emotion, sentiment, had never really been a thing that had affected him. The last thing he expected was to have children. Least of all with his flatmate, John Watson. But it happened, the fell for each other and fell hard. And now the results of this love? Twin boys, Hamish and Martin Watson-Holmes. They were created using the genes of both John and Sherlock, thus having a bit of each. Well, logically they should. It doesn’t always work that way...
Hamish and Martin go through lives with many ups and downs. Both completely different yet incredibly close they spend their younger years together. School brings friends, bullying and many problems and sometimes being the children of the great Sherlock Holmes doesn’t work out so well. Well, at least for the boys. Their four year younger sister, Molly, seems to get all the good luck, friends... everything. Then again she is the only girl in the family. That must count for something.

"I'm stupid," John says.
"Why?"
"Because I fell in love with you."
"Yeah," Sherlock responds, "Definitely stupid."
Set over the course of one school year in 2009, this is the story of two star-crossed misfits - Sherlock and John - smart enough to know that first love almost never lasts, but brave and desperate enough to try. They struggle through identity crisis, drug addiction, and child abuse together, along with dealing with the pain of a highschool that labels them as freaks. When Sherlock meets John, they spark a love that will remind you of your first - and how hard it pulled you under.
