Fics like Save Me or Let Me Drown

Sherlock Holmes was nineteen when he decided he'd had enough. Uni was dull, his family smothering, cocaine too expensive after his trust fund was cut. There was no utility in pursuing a degree in Chemistry, not when he was so good at stealing cars and could make his own money. He had no reason to stay. So he left. John Watson was nineteen when his absent mother dumped on him her last daughter. She disappeared (again) while his father drank himself numb every night (typical). With six younger siblings to take care of, uni was an impossible dream. They had no one except for him. So he stayed. Or: how Sherlock escaped from his family, John sacrificed everything to his, and how, together, they built their own.
