Sherlock is a broken man, hurt in love, looking for solace in death. John is a savior, a loner looking for love. Sherlock needs time to heal. Will John wait? or will he find comfort in Greg's arms? AU. Don't own Sherlock or anything related. Character created by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, BBC does the series. Triggers- mentions of suicide attempts and self-harm.

In which Sherlock Holmes keeps secrets but tells no lies, John Watson ceases to be sure about anything, and the definition of seduction is scrutinised, broken down, and reconstructed. NC-17 for graphic sexual content and adult themes. Eternally and explicitly Johnlock. Completed. Fourth work in my Conductivity series (immediately after "Resistivity and Relative Charge").
