" There's a quality of legend about freaks. Like a person in a fairy tale who stops you and demands that you answer a riddle. Most people go through life dreading they'll have a traumatic experience. Freaks were born with their trauma. They've already passed their test in life. They're aristocrats. "
    ― Diane Arbus
    
Evangeline Lestrade has always been known as someone that was anything but ordinary, the freak who had to hide behind her father's police badge to keep herself safe.
    
Sherlock Holmes has always been the freak who knew too much, the boy that couldn't keep his mouth shut if it would save his life
    
The legends of Sherlock Holmes and his cocky, intelligent, detective skills are no mystery to Van.  After all, she's heard them all from her father ever since he met the young detective all those years ago. So when Van earns a spot working alongside her father at Scotland Yard, she meets the mysterious detective from her father's stories.  However, she soon finds it's as hard, if not harder to work with the younger Holmes as her father always described. Especially when he's your neighbour. After all, trouble follows Sherlock Holmes the same way his inky black coat billows behind him when he walks.
    
When trouble brews among the criminal classes and a mysterious enemy arrives on the scene, Van is forced to work with Sherlock to bring down the evil behind the mask. But as she grows closer the detective, could Lestrade's only daughter be in deeper than she thought?

She steps closer, her voice low but piercing, as if each word is a scalpel cutting through the layers he's wrapped around himself. "You wear your intellect like armor, Sherlock, but even the sharpest mind can't hide the fractures underneath. You think the world is a stage and you're the only actor that matters, but the truth is, we're all performing for someone, even when we're alone. You create this facade of apathy, of superiority, because it's easier than admitting that the void you feel isn't invincibility-it's emptiness. You can solve a thousand cases, but in the silence of your own mind, when no one's watching, you'll have to face the one puzzle you can't crack: yourself. And what terrifies you most isn't that no one understands you-it's that someday, someone might." Her gaze lingers on him for a moment, reading his silence before turning away, her words settling like dust in the empty space between them.

[Sherlock x Female OC] The thing is, there is an empty, gaping hole at the base of John's throat where his overwhelming guilt and periodic bouts of torturous grief used to be. It would be so easy to... to be angry and punch a hole through the wall, through the foam of his pillow -- drive his fist through Sherlock's heart. But he remembers; in the most tragic and inopportune of fashion, remembers how angry he had been when Sherlock had jumped, how furious he had been at his funeral, and how it hadn't stopped him from breaking down at his grave nonetheless. The thing about his anger is this: it does nothing but leave him behind in the end, a bundle of nerves and frailty in his bones and an unsteady sway to his gait. It does nothing at all, but reduce marginally the constant, suffocating oppressiveness of his days bleeding into one another with a burst of adrenaline. The thing about his anger is this: it doesn't give him back Sherlock. So he gets a new flatmate- a woman named Holland. They were great friends at school and in fear he would be lonely again after Sherlock died he started to meet up with her, and soon, she moved in with him. They're just friends, though. No one could have a bond with John like Sherlock did. Sherlock was his best friend. But then Sherlock returns, and John is more furious than ever at him. Also, Sherlock and Holland seem to bond quite well, which is something Sherlock finds too complicated to explain itself.
