Title: Sine Nomine

Author: SilentAuror

Pairing/genre/rating: John/Sherlock, drama/romance, series 4 fix-it, explicit

POVs: Mycroft, John, Sherlock

Length: 45,626 words

Warnings: None in particular, though I will say that this is a dark one at times

Summary: As Mycroft reviews the footage from Culverton Smith’s morgue, he revisits his original question: whether John Watson would be the making of his brother, or make him worse than ever. He’s come to a conclusion, but decides to give John one last chance. So he gives him a choice.

Notes: I wrote this story almost entirely during my three months of working in isolation from home. My work became the in-depth research of a failed civil uprising/revolution and a horrific level of destruction in that country. The unnamed village of the title (“sine nomine” = Latin for “without name”) is very much based on some of the events of that uprising, though this is set in a very different country. This story had already been plotted out well before I started this research, but some of what I was thinking and feeling about that situation is definitely reflected here, and I was grateful to have the vehicle of this story to help process some of that.
