"The greatest griefs are those we cause ourselves."
- Sophocles, Oedipus Rex
_____________
"At least I can assure you that you will come home." Sherlock's voice held a quiet, deadly accuracy. He was an archer with his bow pulled taunt, arrow ready to snap free and drive his point home. "Being dead temporarily and being dead permanently are two very different things, little brother."

"I am perfectly sure everything will get back to normal without my interference", Sherlock eventually replied in an oddly calm tone. "Yeah, it's a possibility. There's also the possibility that you will try to fix things up and it'll turn out to be too late. And there will be no more Mollys to save you from falling from a roof." // not a native here. kill me later.

The Devil's Chord by JDSchmidtWriter
30 parts Complete
A mysterious death. A life in the balance. When do the ends justify the means? John Watson wants nothing more than to head home to 221B and have a hot cuppa, but Sherlock Holmes has other plans. The famous composer, Rebecca Frost, has died. Her elderly butler insists she was murdered. Sherlock takes on the case, only to face the additional complication of Vivian Walker - the unexpected heir to the Frost Estate. Someone wants her dead, and it's up to Sherlock and John to protect her, whether the stubborn woman wants their help or not. But more than one danger threatens her life. Solving this mystery and keeping Vivian safe may prove their greatest challenge yet. Book One of the Hooked on a Feeling series *** This novel is AU, as it was written prior to the release of Sherlock Series 3. As a result, there is no Mary, Sherlock's parents are very different, and Moriarty isn't back. Sherlock has returned following The Reichenbach Fall, and he and John have repaired their friendship. There will be no romantic relationship between the two, only brotherly love between the best of friends. There will be bickering though. Loads of it. There will also be moments of angst, hints of a developing romance (Sherlock/OC), and of course an intriguing mystery. If that's your cuppa tea, then put your feet up and relax. You're in for a treat! You can expect a new chapter posted every Friday. Happy Reading!

Mycroft had always warned Sherlock that feelings can get in the way, especially when it comes to his chosen line of work. Typically, this would be the one thing the two brothers could agree on, however, when you reappear on his doorstep after years of no contact, informing Sherlock that your life's in danger, he's left struggling with both his feelings and what happened in your shared past. How can he possibly pretend such strong emotions have never existed when they still remain?

Sherlock Holmes is reluctant to welcome change as he faces the daunting task of delivering a best man's speech at John Watson's wedding. The possibility of a murder also looms large at the reception. So does the possibility of a broken best man. Sherlock x Reader.
