Irene Adler had many homes, and many more hiding places, but months after her death Sherlock was certain he'd found at least half those in the country. She had her many stolen jewels tucked away all over the apartment, and it took him the better part of the afternoon to dig them all out of their hidey holes. When he had them in his pockets, he went searching for someone else entirely.

Although they had their obvious differences, given their different environments, Sherlock found it was remarkably easy to track himself down.

"Making headway, I presume?"

He staggers, but manages to fall with more grace this time, although one wrist gives sort of messily when he lands on it and sends searing white through his eyes.

He kicks out hard, this time at his head.

It still hurts though, and he's scrambling wildly away, wheezing for breath, keeping his legs between them. Elbows braced defensively on the floor, he'll mule kick him if he comes closer.

"Piss off."

More crude, now. He's not giving him that.

He makes a mistake (probably) and scrambles to his feet.

"Really. It's so unreasonable that you not know the entire truth?"

"You are nothing like me. Not in any way that matters."

All but spitting at him.

From: [personal profile] lostwithoutmyblogger
"You have no concept of how crippling it is to suddenly be living the impossible. Warp time itself to save John. Go on, I dare you to understand it, to try to conquer it. I'm beginning to. Two more years work, maybe three, and I'll make it home. You are not a resource, you're here to fight. I put every waking minute into this, I avoid the other questions, because unlike you I care more about him than I do myself and my own petty little distractions."

Informing him, vitriolic and tight.

"You have no idea of what I will and will not accept."

Buttons scatter, and Sherlock chokes on a groan, bent back over the wood suddenly and bare. He has slightly fewer scars, only by virtue of his age, but a few nasty ones. A close call with a serial killer, the fall off the roof, a gunshot graze, a thousand other close calls.

Irene's beautiful, symmetrical circles, each the size of a small pea, dotting up his back like wings, in vampire-teeth pairs of two from the puncture marks of the hooks.

And more of Irene's handiwork, carved into the top of one shoulder, SLUT, in case Holmes was under any illusions that the relationship was healthy or happy or remotely playful.

In case he wanted ideas.

He's still again, forehead against the wood, ashamed to find himself tearful with frustration and fury.

"Yes."

He answers, which is an oversimplification. That was after Reichenbach. He'd needed to suffer.

"Her precise words at the time were that I would be, if I could make people stand to be near me, but that my personality got in the way."

Maybe it has something to do with the little hitch when he retells the story.

"Colourful reasoning. The point was the debasement."

His shoulders heave, just once, utterly silently.

'Enjoyed' is too simple a word for it, the complicated, overwhelming knot of hurt and hate and lust and memory.

No one was supposed to get close enough to read it.

"It isn't."

He informs him, shortly.

"Irene was a lot like this."
