Fics like Taking the Blame

The detective’s head snaps up, his pupils wide and dark. “It was to protect you,” he hisses, face contorting into something ugly and foreign. “Everything I’ve done was to protect you! Leaving you behind, taking down Moriarty’s network, watching you choose her -” he cuts himself off, running a shaking hand through his curls. “I didn’t know she would try to finish the job, John. I honestly didn’t know how far she was willing to go.” “Then why? Why did you…” Sherlock laughs, high and hollow, staring at the skull over the mantle. “I thought it would keep you safe. God, sentiment can be so blinding!” John inhales sharply, reaching back to steady himself against the desk, the wood digging into his palm. “Sentiment?” "Honestly, John,” Sherlock whispers, leaning back against the wall with a wince. “You see, but you don’t observe.”
