Have Mercy On My Heart (Sherlock fanfiction)

Ruth Laurie has known Sherlock Holmes for a very long time, though Sherlock would rather forget about the school years spent together... and has, till she's transferred to Scotland Yards forensic team. It's not long till she's wormed her way back into the Holmes family life again, to find they're not the family she left seventeen years before to go Uni in the states, and the change is thanks to a man named John Watson.

Not knowing they've have had better times, as it's only weeks after Sherlock's come back from the dead, Ruth wants to know John's secret to attaining the title of friend, and vows not to give up till Sherlock can call her one too. However she soon finds their relationship is not what it once was and Sherlock still likes to keep his secrets... secrets that she lived through with the Holmes family.

Secrets that are now threatening her life and won't be secrets much longer.

Author's Note: I have been writing this on Fanfiction.net, but just decided to post it on here as well. Normally not as active here as I am over at ff.net, but I've decided to try to keep it up on here as well. There use to be a 'casting' area and I guess it's not there anymore (it's been like a year since I've been on here), so I'm just going to tell you. Krysten Ritter is how you should picture Ruth Laurie. And I think that's all I've got to say... hope you enjoy it!
