TW: Suicide

[anonymous]

So... Sherlock looked pretty horrified when he realized Jim was about to shoot himself - and not damn, there goes my way out of this horrified, but spur-of-the-moment, shocked, shit shit shit back the fuck away from him horrified.

And he was a bit... frantic about stopping Henry from killing himself in Hounds.

The Prompt: Five times Sherlock witnessed someone taking their own life (and one time he nearly did the same, maybe?)

It doesn't actually have to be a Five Times (+1) fic, just... something along those lines. Please.

(Yes, Mycroft, I suppose Heidegger could be involved somehow...)

I agree. In a way, I wanted to show that the first 3 weren't humanized in Sherlock's mind. It's not until the 4th one when it happens right in front of him that this changes.

Glad you enjoyed it!

Thanks! The last one was the only one I knew for sure. The rest just kind of came out.

Wow. The last one was like a punch to the gut.

Thanks. After I wrote it, I stopped and just had to breathe for a moment.
