Summary
Sherlock Holmes has never had such a relationship in which his significant other treats him like John does. John treats him like he's the most precious thing in the world. Sherlock can't lose that, he can't lose him.
When a new recruit of Scotland Yard seems to take a liking to John, Sherlock does everything in his power to keep John from leaving him when his insecurities get the best of him.

Summary
After cracking a high-stakes case, Sherlock and John face the press for a victory lap. But the glare of cameras and relentless noise push Sherlock past his limits, sending him spiraling into sensory overload. For John, the moment becomes more than just damage control; it’s a stark reminder of Sherlock’s humanity—and a test of the tentative trust they've rebuilt since his return.
Something of a fix-it for John's daft "Aspergers?" comment in THOB.

Summary
“People would talk,” he tries, repurposing an old line, a shortcut to a recurring theme in their lives.
“They do little else.” John dutifully completes the circuit with a sigh. “Sherlock,” he continues haltingly, eyes falling back to his hands as he considers his words. “Would they be wrong, though, really?”
