Summary
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.

Summary
Last year of college. Sherlock is a drug addict who frequently ends up in the Emergency Room. There, he meets John Watson, a surgeon. The only one who can save him from Moriarty.
His mouth is dry, his throat burns, and his eyes sting. But they only sting when he’s not there. Only when he’s gone.
In those moments, Sherlock lets his body shiver, lets himself cry… and then he imagines. He imagines the snow, its soft flakes falling to the ground
.The snow becomes him. It smells like him, looks like him, and even speaks like him.
It becomes John.
Maybe he misses him. Or maybe he just needs something—someone—from that other life.
But in the darkness of his cell, he always reaches out into the void and dreams of touching his fingers.
