And Thou Be Conscience-calm’d by BonnieLassie

Summary
When Holmes came down in the early hours of the morning, the figure of Doctor Watson was silhouetted in the window, so motionless the detective had almost missed him there.
Watson stood with his right hand in the pocket of his trousers and his left arm raised, forearm pressed against the windowpane and supporting his forehead. His fist was tightly balled and his eyes were closed.Returning from his respectable medical practice, Dr. Watson runs afoul of a senseless act of violence. There's a price to be paid for doing the right thing. He might have always known that - but it is still nice to have the resulting pieces picked up.

Summary
Holmes and Watson return to Baker Street after the arrest of Colonel Moran and deal with the aftermath of Holmes' dramatic return from the dead.
“I am still angry, Holmes, but I meant it when I told you this afternoon that I never was happier to see anyone in my life—dear God, I missed you so.” He smiled faintly and placed his hand over mine which still rested upon his knee; we sat in silence for what felt like a very long time. Our hands pressed together felt strange and new but yet inevitable, as if they had always been that way, and my fingers ached to grab hold of his own, to press them to my chest and hold him there forever.

Summary
It may be more of the good doctor’s purview, but Sherlock Holmes can appreciate the odd rare medical curiosity. The roses filling his lungs are certainly curious. It’s unfortunate that he won’t live long enough to learn much.
Watson, he thinks, will be fine.

Summary
Holmes has returned in triumph from his Great Hiatus, but things... aren't quite right. His friends are furious with him over his treatment of Watson -- and although his doctor has agreed to become his flatmate once more, he is somehow not the same man that Holmes once knew. It takes some unusual circumstances for Sherlock Holmes to finally understand Watson, and -- more importantly -- to understand himself.

Missing Pages by PlaidAdder
Fandom Sherlock Holmes & Related Fandoms, Sherlock Holmes (1984 TV), Sherlock Holmes - Arthur Conan Doyle
21 Sep 2024
Summary
This is a group of interlinked short stories (most between 2000 and 7000 words) which tell the story of how Holmes and Watson really came to be separated at the Reichenbach Falls, and how they found each other again. Each story is in the form of a document--a letter, a journal, a surveillance report, an affidavit, etc.--which is linked to one or more ACD canon tales, and which tells us something about that story that was changed or suppressed in Watson's published account of it. Holmes/Watson, with glimpses of other relationships. Only one story ("The Boy in the Boat," which is f/f) is rated M. Everything else is T.
ACD canon stories that inspired "Missing Pages" include: The Hound of the Baskervilles, The Sign of Four, "The Final Problem," "The Empty House," "The Naval Treaty," "A Case of Identity," "The Greek Interpreter," "The Gloria Scott," "The Noble Bachelor," "The Copper Beeches," "The Disappearance of Lady Frances Carfax," "The Devil's Foot," "The Illustrious Client," and "A Case of Identity."
Many stories work as stand-alones. If you want the whole arc, just read them in the order in which they are posted. Either way you slice it, I hope you enjoy!

Summary
Many circumstances of the events at the Reichenbach Falls could not be mentioned in Dr. Watson's published stories. Moriarty made attempts on Watson's life, and the main reason Holmes disappeared was to keep his life partner safe. Believing Holmes to be dead, Watson could not cope. His behaviour became downright self-destructive. A month later Holmes learned about that and found a way to let Watson know. From that point on, John was waiting for Sherlock for three long years.
