    Summary

    [sheliam | Divergent Canon] When Mycroft broke the news to Sherlock, he knew he was in for a good punishment. Having to live in Count Moriarty's house for a year had to be considered a new kind of torture, even more so when in the inner nest of the family, more secrets were kept that they were willing to protect.

    Or

    What would have happened if William and Sherlock had met when they were young and not on the Noahtic?

    Summary

    William James Moriarty has calculated every variable of his existence, save one: Sherlock Holmes.
    When Sherlock Holmes breaches the careful order of his life, not as an adversary, but as the sole question for which he possesses no logical answer, William is confronted with an unbearable paradox: how to surrender himself to the only man who might save him when his grand design demands that no one ever shall.

    Before nightfall, there existed a love. And William, the consummate strategist, resolved to savor it to the last bittersweet drop.

    Summary

    Sherlock wasn't sure how many times he read and reread the letter. Wasn't sure how many tears staining the paper were Williams or his own. Wasn't sure at what point he dropped the cigarette he didn't even remember lighting onto the floor. He would have clutched onto the paper, but he primally feared ripping the precious, oh so precious words that he tried desperately to engrave into his memory. Eventually he found his voice through the sobs that racked his body, “I felt the same,” He said it more to the air than to himself, wishing that a familiar noble filled that empty space, “This whole time, I felt the same way about you!”

    It didn’t have to be this way, he thought desperately to himself. He would make sure of it. He would save the man he cherished above all else, no matter if he didn't want to be saved.

    ======

    What if Billy only found William, and Sherlock spent three years thinking the only man who had understood him had died in his arms?

    Summary

    “We can’t stay here, Sherly. I can’t stay here. It's already bad enough that I can't be close to you out of closed doors, I don't wanna have to disguise myself everytime I step foot outside my house. I want to go do groceries with you, I want to have dinner in terrible diners and drink awful beers in a bar after we finish a case”

    Thinking and talking about the future turn out to be more troubling than William thought it would be.
