Summary:
When Sherlock finally comes back to London, he's a broken man. It will take John Watson to fix him. Unfortunately, John's still mad/engaged/moved out/generally not available right now.
Rec: I thought this fic did a really good job of showing how things could work out so that all three of the main characters (Sherlock, John, and Mary) are happy in the end. Warning for drug use.
