Three years after the death of the great Sherlock Holmes, both men are learning to continue along their separate paths- alone.
Still recovering from the loss of his friend, John Watson's life has become a broken record. The same things happening day in, day out. Little did he know that his old life was about to catch up to him, and he would be dragged back into a life of fear, anger and pain.
...And excitement, that too.
However, Sherlock's persistence to destroy Moriarty's name has lead him to a discovery which could put him and his friends in more danger than he thought possible.
Two men, two mysteries. Neither aware of the others trials, but both will co-inside as the truth is revealed, and the challenge really begins.
Though the ever increasing difficulties are piling up, the question is, will they be able to Keep the Strength to Fight?
...Well of course they can, I wouldn't write a book if they couldn't!
Enjoy!

You and John Watson were old flames back in your high school year. Thankfully, when you broke up, you still remained friends. That was, until the year of the war came around. While John went to war, you began to tend to your dying sister, who you knew only had a few more years. John and you kept in touch, but the letters started to get more and more infrequent as the war began to get more and more brutal. After your sister died, you moved to London, hoping for a fresh start and to eliminate any memories of your her. The next thing you know, three people get murdered right before your eyes, and guess who shows up to inspect? John Watson. And his friend, Sherlock Holmes. You took a liking to Sherlock, despite his arrogance and sociopathic tendencies, and you slowly begin to see his feelings that he hides underneath his shell. When he sees how clever you are, Sherlock also takes a liking to you, but tries his hardest to hide it. He knows that sentiment is a chemical defect found on the losing side. Now you, Sherlock and John Watson are solving cases together, but what happens when the person you fear most shows up and starts to torment John and Sherlock.Complete

Dance With Me, Darling {A Sherlolly Fanfic} (Wattys 2017)
For one to uncover secrets this deep, they must shatter the evil from within. A façade was all Sherlock was living now. When he gets wind of a masquerade ball being held in Moriarty's memory, he thinks it'll be no different than what he has been doing after his infamous fall. But a one-man operation was just suicide.
