Summary
When a novel virus brings London to a standstill, Sherlock and John find themselves confined to their flat, cut off from the world. As the days stretch on, John wrestles with feelings of uselessness, while Sherlock distracts himself with odd experiments, including one he’s unwilling to share with John.
In the intimacy of quarantine, John’s long-smouldering attraction deepens as he and Sherlock find ways to pass the time. When John inadvertently interrupts Sherlock’s secret experiment, he is surprised to find just how human his flatmate is. A vulnerable moment and a brave question change their lives forever.

Summary
On the cusp of high school graduation in a Midwestern city, eighteen-year-old Sherlock Holmes feels trapped. Despite his brilliance, his dreams are clouded by poverty, the chaos of his abusive, alcoholic father, and his own bad decisions. Then, one ordinary day, Sherlock sells a riding crop to a handsome Englishman, and everything changes. He doesn't know what hit him.
Until he does.
What begins as a brief, electric encounter becomes a much deeper connection, more intense, yet more tender than he could have ever imagined. As their relationship unfolds, challenging his mind, body, and heart, the story he has told himself about his future begins to change.
This is a literary exploration of desire, vulnerability, and the power of being truly seen. It delves into grief, addiction, coming out, age differences, and the layered complexities of consent. There's sex, but also healing. There's kink, but also romance. And at its core, it's a queer coming-of-age story about finding love.

Summary
After Sherlock’s return from the dead, John, still scarred and mistrustful, puts an emotional distance between them. He grudgingly returns to Baker Street but refuses to reassume his old role as Sherlock's partner and blogger. When Molly has a family emergency and can’t help Sherlock with what seems an exciting Russian espionage case, John, despite his lingering anger, volunteers to take her place. The prospect of going undercover as husbands to a couples retreat is just too enticing to refuse.
