«We wake up every morning to fight the same demons that left us tired the night before. And that, Holmes, is bravery.»
«Then why...» His baritone voice dragged, as he took a stride closer to her, his blue orbs searching her face for a millionth time that night. His dangerously narrowed eyes scanned her, deducing the life out of her. He hovered above her, in all of his mighty, their chests and faces a breath away. And in that little space he left his words fly «...why don't you ever sleep?"

Because Emma Swan knows. She knows that, if she closes her eyes even for a moment, the demons of her past will devour her.
In an attempt to escape the horrors she had faced, Emma moves to London, in the apartment 221C. She stumbles upon Sherlock Holmes that first day that began it all, on his first meeting with John Watson. Needless to say, they hardly get along. What happens when, by cruelty of the universe, John and Sherlock move into the flat above her own? Even when a friendship blossoms between her and the two flat mates at 221B Baker Street, much still remains unknown about who Emma truly is. And the answers seem to be particularly hard to obtain, especially when a certain member of the British government does all that is in his power to keep any sort of information away from Sherlock. But Sherlock Holmes is not a man who likes to have unanswered questions.
Emma Swan has her secrets, a hidden past and old connections to people who dominate Sherlock's life. And one particular demon hot on her trail who will stop at nothing before he gets her back into his clutches. What will happen? Will Emma allow herself to trust someone for the first time in years, or we she succumb to her old habits and join her demons?

" Where are you? " It seemed as though John was talking to no one. Just a man in the middle of the streets yelling like a mad man. Such a great sight.
" I've watched you since you were born but it's obvious that you haven't fully grasped that you cannot see me unless I want you to see me. For someone that has a college degree I would expect more from you. " John scoffed at the deep baritone voice insulting him.
" For someone that has supposedly watched me my whole life, I would have assumed that you would have some type of sympathy for me. Besides, I've seen you before. You just choose to hide. "
" I'm only like this because I know that you can handle it. You've dealt with me for this long and I'm hiding from you to save you. " He was right. John have dealt with him for a long time. But he was tired of not knowing who he truly was. The voice knew everything about John while John knew nothing about him.
" Can you at least tell me your real name, S? " The nickname sent shivers down John's spine since he hadn't called the voice that in years.
" Wow, you do remember. But the name is Sherlock Holmes. Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go back to being unknown. " John felt a gust of wind hit him which signaled that Sherlock had once again vanished to who knows where. John's guardian angel sure was a charmer. Always knew how to get them.
John could say this though. Sherlock Holmes was one angel that intrigued him in ways he didn't know were possible. But he liked it.
