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 Wainwright is certainly no exception.
**Not abandoned, just swamped with PhD work!!**

Summary
Nearly twenty years after John Watson and Sherlock Holmes met, Sherlock has continued his Work and it his kept him well and sober as he and John grow older and raise John's daughter Rosie at 221B Baker Street. The last few years have been filled with a pleasant predictability that Sherlock should be comforted by. And yet a discontent quietly grows.
Claire McAvoy moved across from 221B about a year ago, but she and Sherlock never spoke a word to one another until the disappearance of her boss at the museum where she works as an archivist.
What follows their meeting is a friendship forged by a mutual goal and a bond born of questioning whether loneliness is truly a prerequisite to personal authenticity.

Summary
Alexandra White, Aurora. The most dangerous woman in the world. The second half of The British Goverment.
"I am living in a world of goldfish."
"That's what you think of her?"
"Brother mine, we both know what Alexandra is."
"Shark."
She was a shark with sharp teeth, extreme speed and hunger in her eyes. Ready to eat whole anyone that dares to hurt the Holmes brothers.

Summary
Sherlock—who had been mostly quiet, examining the body—finally looked up, his eyes alight with interest. “She’s right.”
Lestrade frowned. “Excuse me?”
Sherlock exhaled, gesturing toward Indie with a flick of his fingers. “You asked her when she last saw him. She answered—three nights ago, returning a late book. But you didn’t bother writing it down, did you? No, because you found her irritating. She talks too much, bores you, so you dismissed her. She talks too much or perhaps it's just her overly detailed answers that irks something deep within you. And yet, in all that detail that you find just so overly irksome and frustrating, she gave you something quite important. A book. A Study in Scarlet. A book about a murder that mirrors this one—throat slit, body left to be discovered like a staged performance.” He turned toward Indie. “Did he say anything when he returned it?”
Aka the one where Sherlock falls in love (but he doesn't know it yet) with the rambling prone librarian who seems to irk everyone around her except him.
