PS, I Love You (warnings: deathfic)

Has anyone here seen or read PS, I Love You?
John dies of a terminal illness, but he left behind a series of letters/notes/packages to be delivered to Sherlock after his death. These letters are left for Sherlock to find exactly when he needs them (maybe the first one is something simple: Sherlock makes a deduction and looks for John, then finds a note in his pocket that says “Brilliant!” in John’s handwriting). The notes help Sherlock move on.
I’d love it if Lestrade or Mycroft or both were the ones John trusted to deliver the letters.
Make me cry and heal my soul at the same time. I need some bittersweet angst.

As a child, Sherlock was always so confused by others insistance that being alone was something bad. That loneliness was a sad and terrible thing.
As he grew, Sherlock learned to accept peoples inane need to be with someone. Anyone in many cases.
Whilst in university, Mycroft would constantly check on Sherlock 'encouraging' him to connect with his classmates. One such encouragement led to a brief, yet passionate affair with one Victor Trevor. An affair which Sherlock ended as soon as Victor brough his toothbrush to Sherlock's flat.
Sherlock loved being alone. Silence was as soothing as the music his fingers would seduce from the violin. Being alone allowed his mind to stretch and bend as it coaxed facts from everyday occurances.
Loneliness was beautiful, extraordinary and perfect.
Loneliness was everything Sherlock strived for. Until, that is, he met John Watson.
Jim wants to torment Sherlock. Mycroft, obviously, won't stand for it. So Jim offers him a deal - he can be the target for all of Jim's... attentions instead.
Mycroft is not too pleased at first, but he agrees anyway. And Jim makes sure he doesn't regret it. ...and then they have sex? :D

A/N: I think I just fell in love with this ship, it's so fun to write! Anyway, my dear OP: this came out more dub-con than I thought it would be, a lot more dub-con than I thought it would be. Hopefully you'll still like it anyway but let me know if this is far from what you had in mind/if it sucks/if you wished to see something else/all of the above.
It's easy to speak with the world's only consulting criminal if you have the right contacts. Mycroft, obviously, has all the contacts he needs.
It's also easy to secure a deal with the world's only consulting criminal. What is not easy is to live up to it. Most of the time it's hard for people to satisfy the demands: money, favours, lives... The price is always high, always.
And for Mycroft the price he has to pay is almost unbearable.
Almost.
***The first time Jim asks for Mycroft's assistance is a couple of weeks after they have sealed their deal. They meet on a balcony well-lit and warm with sunlight, on the top floor of a building, with a small table between them and

Moriarty laughs: the sound this time is far from being pleasant and musical. It's fake, etched with anger and rage and impatience. If Mycroft were a lesser man he'd be scared by that sound. "Because I know for a fact that those little bastards are nothing but a small gang with more important contacts. Because they think they can do whatever pleases them with banks owned by some of my most important clients. Because something as simple as this could ruin me and my darling, believe me, you don't want to see me ruined. I'd drag you down with me, you and your little brother... And do you know what I would do to your little brother?"
Mycroft closes his eyes. He doesn't want to know, he doesn't want to know, he doesn't want to know. He interrupts Moriarty with an urgent tone. "I'll find them, give me a few days."
He can see Jim's satisfied grin, he can see it in his mind. "Good boy," Moriarty simply says before cutting the conversation

Warnings: possible triggers for eating disorders

Warnings: possible triggers for eating disorders
Sherlock displays too many symptoms of an eating disorder to even list here…
What’s the history of his issues with food? When and how did it start? How has it affected his life? Maybe he was hospitalized at some point, maybe he spent some time in a treatment center…
Basically, I want snapshots of Sherlock living & struggling with an eating disorder, from his childhood/teen years/whenever til present day.

So I read this, and just started writing, but it became a bit more of a collection of addictions rather than just focusing on eating disorders :-/ I'm not sure whether to post it or not, seeing as how it veered off so drastically.
“I’ve suspected it for a while...and I think you have, too.” Triggers?

Sherlock has always known that there’s a reason he’s unable to communicate properly with his peers or make any friends. However, Mummy was so fiercely protective of him that she refused to admit there was anything wrong at all, no siree.
Years go by, Sherlock and John move in together, Mycroft’s a dick, blah blah blah, but then Sherlock’s social shortcomings start becoming more and more pronounced (for reasons up to the author). After enough incidents at Scotland Yard to nearly get him arrested, with officers and witnesses/victims/family members, and countless shouting matches with John and Mrs. Hudson (to the point where John nearly moves out several times, but for SOME reason doesn’t), Sherlock finally realizes that maybe he should try to find help.
He sits John down one night and confesses that he’s been suspecting Asperger’s. John’s been suspecting it for a while too. They work through it together and get him the help he’s likely needed since his childhood.
I know this is a touchy topic, and I know I’ve likely offended about

I'm going to try my hand at that one. I've had a couple good friends with Asperger's. It's not perfectly correct for Sherlock, but it's a compelling comparison.
Also, I can really picture Sherlock despising the thought of having Asperger's and drawling, "Autism? Autism's boring."

OP just noticed this comment and apologizes for not replying sooner!
I'm very happy people are interested, and send good thoughts and teeny tiny muses your way for inspiration!
Also, Asperger's was merely a suggestion based on what I've heard from others in fandom (mostly cracked.com, heh); if you have a better idea I totally wouldn't be mad.

This song -- right here... Sherlock/anyone. Sherlock/Molly, Sherlock/John, Sherlock/Lestrade -- they just need to be really scared to kiss an impassive Sherlock.
