Fics like BBC Sherlock: The Case of the Colonel Carruthers Connection

Had Sherlock not changed John's life would John have taken his own? War injury and PTSD aside, what mystery in John's past made him feel "so alone" and lost? This character study follows John's long journey on the road to redemption, from the invalided soldier suffering survivor's guilt and tempted with suicide to the grieving widower sitting in his old armchair in 221B. SPOILER ALERT: While the timeline of this story begins after the Blind Banker, there are many spoilers and references to all four seasons of the BBC Series, including The Abominable Bride. Readers should be familiar to some degree with these episodes. Warning. Since the topic of suicide is discussed throughout, this story has an M rating. Chapters: 10 - Words: 31,961
