Fics like Into The Light

Sherlock knows that he is not particularly lovable. He has seen this lack of lovableness in the cold eyes of his brother, in the angry eyes of the Scotland Yard detectives and police officers as he ruthlessly deducts uncomfortable, embarrassing, truthful things about their lives as a way to cope with how they stare at him. As if he were a circus sideshow. That’s it though isn’t it? He feels their anger and their envy and their fear of him, and so he bites back with logic, with brutal honesty. By uncovering things about the people around him that they would rather keep hidden. By telling them truths they didn’t want to know. He can still remember the look on Lestrade’s face on Christmas Eve, hearing that his wife was still having an affair. How casually and coldly Sherlock had let that fact slip from his lips, on such a cheery occasion. He could still hear Molly’s hurt voice. You always say such horrible things. Every time. Always… Always
