Summary
based on a prompt from DawnMasonCullen.
It all started with an umbrella, left behind as if hastily forgotten. If it had been any one else, John would have accounted it to stress, distracted thoughts. Except this was Mycroft Holmes, and such things did not happen to the British government. Yet he supposed he's used to these things, what with a flatmate that shoots holes in the walls just to get attention...
John is used to dealing with strange situations and stranger men. The Holmes brothers have ensured as much. What happens though when even ice cracks, and feelings of jealousy threaten to tear apart an already tenuous sibling bond?

Summary
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.

Summary
John becomes used to it. If he’s perfectly honest with himself, he’s become used to it a long time ago. At night, things are different. The darkness tickles his skin and the cemetery is the loudest place in the world and he tastes dust and iron on his tongue when he hears them talk. In the dark, the bones whisper.
And sometimes John whispers back.
