Summary
Sometimes we don't realise what we have until it's nearly taken from us.
Sometimes nearly losing someone shakes things up.
And sometimes, exposing hidden secrets changes the dynamic. Which is not necessarily a bad thing - ask either John or Sherlock.

Summary
Sherlock embarks on an entirely unbiased, purely scientific analysis of John Watson. Initial variables include physical stamina, pain response, and resilience. Unexpected variable: Sherlock’s attraction to John. It goes about as well as you’d expect.

Summary
"I swear, you get to my age and stairs will become your worst enemy.”
“Ahh, see you should never trust stairs – they’re always up to something!” John joked.
Sherlock only frowned. “Well, of course – that’s how stairs work.”
***
In which Sherlock only gets the joke once they've both been put in mortal peril.

Summary
"So," Watson finally said, the casualness in his tone betrayed by the flickering glances he kept casting Sherlock’s way. "Are we going to talk about what happened today?"
How kind of Watson, to phrase it as a question. "No."
Watson sighed, but evidently refused to give up. "You had your hands around his neck, Sherlock. You were strangling him." He frowned, leaning down. As if by lessening the distance he could read Sherlock better, could peer into his soul and find whatever it was he was looking for. "Have you ever even hurt a person before?"
"Have you?" Sherlock shot back, already knowing.
