Description
«We wake up every morning to fight the same demons that left us tired the night before. And that, Holmes, is bravery.» «Then why...» His baritone voice dragged, as he took a stride closer to her, his blue orbs searching her face for a millionth time that night. His dangerously narrowed eyes scanned her, deducing the life out of her. He hovered above her, in all of his mighty, their chests and faces a breath away. And in that little space he left his words fly «...why don't you ever sleep?" ~ Because Emma Swan knows. She knows that, if she closes her eyes even for a moment, the demons of her past will devour her. In an attempt to escape the horrors she had faced, Emma moves to London, in the apartment 221C. She stumbles upon Sherlock Holmes that first day that began it all, on his first meeting with John Watson. Needless to say, they hardly get along. What happens when, by cruelty of the universe, John and Sherlock move into the flat above her own? Even when a friendship blossoms between her and the two flat mates at 221B Baker Street, much still remains unknown about who Emma truly is. And the answers seem to be particularly hard to obtain, especially when a certain member of the British government does all that is in his power to keep any sort of information away from Sherlock. But Sherlock Holmes is not a man who likes to have unanswered questions. Emma Swan has her secrets, a hidden past and old connections to people who dominate Sherlock's life. And one particular demon hot on her trail who will stop at nothing before he gets her back into his clutches. What will happen? Will Emma allow herself to trust someone for the first time in years, or we she succumb to her old habits and join her demons? ~ HIGHEST RANKING : #5th in BBC Sherlock Love Story #7th in Sherlock Fanfiction ⚠️ WARNING : WILL CONTAIN GRAPHIC VIOLENCE, GORE, MENTION OF SLEEP AND EATING DISORDERS, SMUT, USE OF SUBSTANCES, INAPPROPRIATE LANGUAGE so please don't sue me I warned y
