discordantwords said: Ooh, try the Wires series by highfunctioningsociopath (https://archiveofourown.org/series/2131431)! Two gorgeous and absolutely heartbreaking S4 stories so far, with hopefully more to come.

YES!! I was going to add this one on the reblog; I actually found an ask from the author,  @runnfromtheak​, asking me to promote the fic series AFTER I posted this. I feel like a heel, LOL. I’m really behind in my asks, UGHG. So YES! New fic series, friends!!

wires Series by highfunctioningsociopath (M, 5,000+ w. across 2 works || Series WiP || Post T6T / TLD, Angst, Hurt / No Comfort, Loneliness, Mind Palace, Survivor Guilt, Mental Health Issues, Drug Addiction / Abuse, Unhealthy Coping Mechanisms, Sherlock POV, Missing Scenes, Introspection, Psychological Trauma, Abusive Relationships, Grey Mary, Withdrawal, Depression, Self-Esteem Issues) – The road to Hell is paved with good intentions, after all. It just so happens to be lined with self-destruction.

Hi steph! I was wondering if you have any recs for Sherlock in between s4e1 and s4e2 or just him self destructing out of guilt due to Mary’s death? I have a craving!

Hey Nonny!

Hmmm. Ahhhhh.... I’m annoyed because I’m certain I have read some. There might be some on my S4 lists:

Post S4 / S4 Fix Its

Post S4 / S4 Fix Its Pt. 2

Post S4 / S4 Fix Its Pt. 3

Post S4 / S4 Fix Its Pt. 4

S4 Rewrites

by highfunctioningsociopath (RUNNFROMTHEAK)

The human heart can last up to four hours on ice outside of the body. The human body can survive up to four minutes without a pulse before brain cells begin to die, starved of all necessary nutrients and air.

Sherlock finds it hideously ironic that the part outlasts the whole.

John Watson lives, after all, while Sherlock waits for the emotional equivalent of four minutes to pass.

(He wonders if love is meant to hurt this much)
