Fics like The Case of John Watson's Heart

The night after he adds a second bullet to his revolver, he meets Sherlock Holmes. John's heart is wrenched from his chest with cold, plying words. His body is laid bare, more naked than he was in the heat of the warmest Afghan nights. He feels wrung and laid out to die in a sandy ditch, the bullet wound flayed open under icy-blue eyes. “Dying to your own hand would be incredibly stupid, Watson,” Sherlock says, “If you’re going to die, let your heart do the killing.” or; John Watson's heart has never been his own; he’s given pieces of it to everyone, but none more than Sherlock Holmes—and he buries him with it.
