    Summary

    “You do have the instincts of a fighter, after all.”

    William didn’t let it show, but that did take him by surprise—he thought he’d been doing a pretty decent job concealing that particular side of him.

    “Oh, do I give it away that easily?” he responded without missing a beat. “My self-defense tutor would be disappointed—my brothers insisted we hire him after I was kidnapped some time ago. He always said the element of surprise was to be my best weapon.”

    Sherlock smirked, probably seeing right through him.

    “Clever man,” he conceded, but William knew he wasn’t talking about his “tutor”. He was forced to suppress yet another smile. Damn you, Holmes.

    We didn't have enough sherliam interactions in canon that were just "I know you know I know you know, but I have to pretend that I don't know" so I'm here to add some more (this fic is pretty much just a love letter to the catch me if you can scene).

    But also: what if Sherlock figured out what William's planning just a little earlier?

    Summary

    Liam reached out, taking the cig that was dangling from between Sherlock’s lips. He raised a brow as the blonde raised it his own, and took a deep inhale.

    “Careful, Liam,” Sherlock murmured, as he took the cigarette back, letting it dangle in his fingers. “Someone might start to think you like me, and start a rumour.”

    - Sherlock, William, and a high school graduation party.

    Summary

    Liam,” Sherlock says firmly.

    That damned name that belongs to him and him alone—William bites his tongue, the rotten heart in his chest twisting.

    “Sherlock,” he says quietly. It feels like a confession.

    Summary

    (Post-55 canon divergence, long/form story spanning multiple locations and adventures.)

    They survive the fall, battered and on the run. They find themselves at the mercy of a noble whose motives are misled.

    Sherlock, who had never taken much responsibility for himself in all his life, struggles to care for the one who needs him most, and works to become a better man.

    William, who had lost his will to live, resolves to atone for his crimes by saving those in need from here on. But is it possible for a person to love others without allowing love into their own heart?
