Post-S3. Two years ago, Sherlock Holmes faked his suicide and has since gone back to his old life at Baker St. When the mysterious Irene Adler returns, the man is faced with his greatest challenge yet; the possibility of love. As an old foe returns, Sherlock, John and Irene must cooperate to survive. This time, however, the stakes might be too high even for Sherlock Holmes.

6 months post-Reichenbach, Sherlock approaches Irene with an unusual job offer: he wants to shoot up, and he needs someone to mind him. But can she remain detached whilst Sherlock spirals deeper and deeper into his addiction? A dark and frank character and relationship study. M for pervasive drug use, some language, and sexual content. Adlock. Followed by The Way the Heavens Go.

"Are you free?" she asks, letting me out of her arms. - "Never." / Post-series 2. Written for the Sherlockiada ff-writing competition. Kind of John/Irene. Probably not what you think, though.

When Sherlock asked Molly to help him, she never thought she'd be given a more difficult task. Until what he asked for next. (Post-Reichenbach, Sherlock/Molly, John/Mary, Irene/Anthea, Moriarty/Moran)

Missing scenes from the end of ASiB, which unfold over the span of about 48 hours. How does Sherlock actually escape from the Karachi insurgents himself, and what happens when an adrenaline-filled Sherlock finds Irene waiting for him in his hotel room right after his audacious rescue? *COMPLETE*

ONESHOT: The drive to safety after Sherlock rescues Irene is a tense one. It is their last time together, and no goodbye seems good enough. This story is full of Sherlock/John undertones, and is rated M for a reason: Sherlock/Irene! This is new for me.

Sherlock and Irene. A motel in Karachi. He's already solved the puzzle. She just wants to play the game. It's only a temporary goodbye. That's all it really is. Pre-Reichenbach Falls.

Post 2x01, Sherlock/Irene. He can't get over it, not quite - and she's not making it any easier for him.
