    Summary

    After the Reichenbach fall something doesn't sit right with you.
    Yes Moriarty may well have won the battle, but that doesn't mean he's won the war.

    And for Sherlock Holmes to just lay down and die?

    That seems like an impossibility, and so with grief and rage in your heart, you set out to find your beautiful consulting detective.

    But what happens when you push too far?

    When you discover too much? Will it be a happy reunion or would you have put yourself in so much danger that not even the British Government could save you?

    Summary

    From Hemingway's "iceberg theory"—one-eighth above water, seven-eighths below.
    From Sherlock Holmes' line: "You see, but you do not observe."
    From a real afternoon of rain in London.
    From a question: When the world's most eloquent man chooses silence, what is he thinking?

    This is a story about rain, silence, and the things left unsaid.

    Sherlock Holmes counts raindrops—112 per minute—bored.
    John Watson reads the newspaper, turns pages, breathes, exists.
    In the sitting room of 221B Baker Street, time stretches thin, the air is drawn tight.

    No case to solve, no mystery to unravel.
    Just two men, a steady rain, and words that melt on the tongue, never spoken.

    This chapter is about accumulation in stillness.
    About the delicate game of watching and being watched.
    About how heartbeats find a shared rhythm in silence.
    About a man who lives by logic, allowing himself—for the first time—to linger in the hazy space of feeling. Not analyzing, not fleeing, just being there, with another, in a rain that seems as though it will never end.

    Summary

    ''If I am to close my eyes, I will see you again. And I'll immediately forget that you died while my eyes were wide open. It'd be as if it had never happened. As if I hadn't replayed the memories countless of times in my mind that wants you as well as my heart does. The very same heart that you promised to burn out of me. That, I can't forget.''

    Summary

    It's been six months. Six months, three weeks, four days and…two hours. Give or take five minutes. Not that he's counting.

    He forgets sometimes. Turns his head to comment, to share some passing thought, some absurdity only Sherlock would find half entertaining—and then he remembers.

    The ledge. The phone call. The blood on the sidewalk.

    The great and terrible absence of orbit.

    Sherlock was the axis.

    -

    John Watson, six months after the fall, has lost his orbit.

    Summary

    In chaos theory, the butterfly effect is the sensitive dependence on initial conditions in which a small change in one state of a deterministic nonlinear system can result in large differences in a later state.

     

     

    So, what happens, if Sherlock only came back after three years instead of two?
    What happens, if John is already married and has a daughter, by the time he’s back?
    What happens, when Sherlock realises the life he had, didn’t magically stop and wait for him, and the people around him moved on without him?

     

    And what role does his brother play in all of this?

    Summary

    Summary

    “You… you absolute… bastard,” John breathed, the old insult a term of endearment now, soaked in two years of hurt.
    A ghost of the old smirk. “The terminology is arguably incorrect now, sorry to disappoint.”

    Summary

    If on a winter’s night a traveler an author chooses a TV series she abandoned midway a decade ago as canon, a character whose name she has to Google as protagonist, “Sherlock Is Jungian Shadow of Scotland Yard” as concept (abandoned midway too), and… naturally, manuscript AI.

    Reader is not expected but arrives anyway—walks halfway, then disappears.
    Reader returns with arrogance, shaped into a still-missed epilogue beneath the last published chapter.
    Author deals with it.
    The “completed” box is hit.

    Summary

    “Sentiment is a chemical defect found on the losing side,“ Sherlock told him one day, and it sounded like something he would say, but Jonh couldn't understand why he kept some of the newspapers.

    He noticed it shortly after he moved in. It had no formula, he tried to figure it out for half a year. Why didn't Sherlock throw away some of the papers after reading them but hide them when he has everything stored in his mind palace? It made no sense to John.

    And it didn't even make any sense when he found out what it was about.

    It was about you. His wife.

    Summary

    “And socially inept.”
    You bit harder on your upper lip. “Not socially inept,” you corrected. “Just socially cautious around London people, cause you lot are all damn unfriendly. Where I’m from, banter is…easy. With someone you don’t know. And here people treat you like you’re scum for being chatty. So, you know. Gotta rein it in.”
    Sherlock was just staring at you. He opened his mouth, then shut it again. You frowned. Had you just…oh. You’d interrupted his ‘deducing’.

    Summary

    I’m using Inktober 2025 prompts to inspire some short pieces. I haven’t had the attention span to work on my longer stories lately, but I want to get back in the writing habit with something easy and fun.
