Summary
Maybe there's another reason Sherlock 'deleted' the solar system.
When spacey astronomer Olivia Wainwright befriends John Watson, she crosses paths with two childhood friends. But only one of the Holmes brothers remembers her.
Sherlock isn't entirely sure why he resents the solar system, but Ollie Wainwright seems to be making things worse.
Mycroft failed to protect Olivia when they were children, and will do whatever it takes to make it up to her.
John has a habit of getting too attached, and Ollie Waintwright is certainly no exception.

Summary
Six months after Sherlock's sister Eurus put him, his brother Mycroft and his best friend John Watson through a series of sick games that nearly got all them killed, they all came back to their life. After helping Sherlock to repair the damages caused by the fire that destroyed their apartment, John found a new job and raises Rosie in the house he used to share with Mary. However, he hasn't forgotten his friend Sherlock, who resumed his consulting work at 221B Baker Street.
It's not enough to cure Sherlock's boredom, but soon a new case will get him back to Scotland Yard; a wealthy man was found hanged in his living-room, and the circumstances surrounding his death are mysterious. Despite Lestrade's inclination towards deeming it a suicide, Sherlock is doubtful: how come his safe, hidden behind a painting, was found unlocked and emptied? Was the hanged man a blackmail's victim? Was it even a suicide? For the first time in months, Sherlock is excited: at last, the game is on!
Little does he know that this new case will soon force him to face the ghost of a past he thought was behind him. Memories of a case he investigated fifteen years ago resurface, along with the heartbreak that ensued.

Summary
Sherlock has been gone for two years and John Watson is doing okay. He goes to work. He sleeps (sometimes). He eats. He has colleagues, some of whom are even friends. He has purpose. If it's not a life as others might view it, it's a fair approximation. It's fine. He's fine.
One night the lights go out and when they come back on everything is the same except for one important thing. For John it's the most important thing.
And suddenly John is not fine at all.

Summary
"You never asked me to make him love you back. That's always one of the first things that someone asks me, you know. 'Make him fall in love.' 'Make her love me.' 'Make him return my feelings.' 'Make him want me.' Blah, blah, blah, on and on and on. But you didn't do that. Neither did he."
This is a story of seven wishes.
One wasted wish, five wishes that changed the world, and one wish that changed nothing at all.

"Don't be dead."Maybe it was the desperation borrowed into his every movement or the painstaking limp that had manifested over the past few days, resurging with painful vengeance. Yet, whatever it was, the crack that formed splintered, spidering throughout my body in a way I could have never accounted for. The fracture rupturing in a way that could do nothing but compel me to move.
