Cold Inside by LoloLolly for ShakespearelovedLadyMacbeth

Summary
Sherlock has just shot Magnussen, and John feels adrift. Everything is wrong. He's fairly certain he hates his wife, too. The regrets are too numerous for him to count. Sherlock is in prison, his ultimate fate unknown and the isolation slowly (or, rather, worryingly quickly) whittling away at his sanity. Mycroft is equally untethered, scrambling for options. Perhaps John can help. And perhaps, just perhaps, they can manage to save Sherlock and rid themselves of Mary in one fell swoop. (HLV fix-it)
Now complete!

Summary
Sherlock is back from the dead but he has no memory of John or their past intimate relationship. Mycroft had convinced the both of them that they should just go their separate ways, as John is now engaged to Mary, and both men had agreed initially. But despite this, both men can't help but continue to be drawn towards each other.
~~~
In his head, John knows it would be best to move on, as Mycroft said. He has Mary now, and Sherlock… John shakes his head. He’s cried enough over that idiotic man. And yet, as John glances over at Mary and at the engagement ring on the hand wrapped around her coffee cup, he feels like this is wrong. It all feels so wrong. Why is he sitting on some bench at some park when Sherlock is out there? Alive and breathing?
~~~
Recommended that you read Part 1 (it's only 2.7k words?) but you do you.

Summary
A case with little to no evidence becomes too much for Scotland Yard and Sherlock Holmes steps in. The third victim in a chain of seemingly unrelated murders was found with only bruises and no apparent cause of death. The police find evidence pointing to a break-in but and Sherlock insists that it was something else. Defeated by the lack of evidence, Sherlock decides to drop the case. Little does he know, the man behind the murders is far from over with Sherlock – and more dangerous than anyone thought. If he isn’t careful, the famous detective might as well end up as the fourth and final victim.
--
A week later and Doctor John Watson is struggling to cope with the fact that his best friend is dead.
The days leading up to the funeral are the worst in John’s life as he tries to fight the grief. Suddenly, everything is at a standstill when Sherlock's body goes missing the day before his funeral. The scene of the crime is almost spotless, with no signs of a break-in; almost as if the body got up and walked away. With Scotland Yard completely swamped and no consulting detective to trace his own corpse, it is up to John and an unexpected ally to solve Sherlock Holmes’ last mystery.
No pressure, right?

Summary
He sets down the flowers and the note, which at this point, he doesn’t really mind people reading. He couldn’t care less what they thought of his feelings. The only opinion that had mattered was Sherlock’s, and he’s gone.
He sighs and gets up, rubbing his eyes as he walks away from the grave. He’s barely been walking away for five seconds when he hears an obnoxious and familiar voice:
“This note is really pathetic, you know.”
Or; Moriarty basically says what everyone is thinking. Even if he’s a little meanie while doing it.
