Summary
So Sherlock Holmes falls. And John Watson suffers. And it turns out he went to a slightly *different* sort of medical school - the sort where a Victor Frankenstein once studied. And there is this nice convenient criminal corpse for spare parts. And this nice spooky Swiss mountain with lots of convenient thunder storms.
You do the math.

Summary
In 1920s Nova Scotia, Canada, war-scarred ex-medic John Watson is cloistered away in a repressed and regimented household, smothered by his well-meaning but infantilizing family.
But after getting some terrible news regarding his heart, John decides to throw caution to the wind and leave his isolated and depressing life behind to serve as hospice carer for Mike Stanford.
As John skillfully nurses Mike through his final days, he also begins going on excursions with Mike's strange backwoods menagerie of friends - adoring the freedom of living life after being so long hidden away. The scandalized Watsons all think he's well and truly lost his mind, but John feels useful again, and is nightmare-free for the first time since the war. This works wonderfully for a glorious summer, right up until Mike passes on.
To save John from having to return to his dismal existence, Mike's mysterious friend Sherlock Holmes offers John an opportunity: come to remote Baker Island as Holmes' live in man of all work. This arrangement is understood to be temporary after John tells Sherlock of his heart condition...but the time they spend together on Baker Island will upend both John and Sherlock's lives.

A STUDY IN ICHOR [ON HIATUS] by dillanstartedtoroll

Summary
[Hi everybody! I'll be taking a short break from writing this fic as I'm dealing with some stuff at home. I fully intend to finish this, don't worry! If you want to ask questions about my AU or see short snippets of Holmes and Watson's lives, you can go to my new Tumblr account: @dillanrolledadice]
[That's all! Goodbye guys, I'll see you soon!]
To the doctors at Bethlem, Scott Holmes is the "Devil's Son," a patient whose scarily accurate predictions and "Moral Insanity" have driven his previous keepers to the brink. To Dr. John Watson, he's just a malnourished patient who needs to take his bromides.
Fresh from the horrors of the frontier, Watson is too tired to be impressed by Holmes's theatrics and too bitter to care about his genius. But as a string of mysterious deaths plagues the hospital galleries, Watson realizes that his "tedious" patient might be the only person capable of saving his career---if he doesn't lose his mind in the process.
