Author's note: in this series I’m exploring Sherlock’s past and his relationship with Mycroft, from his earliest beginnings up to the time he ends up sharing the flat with John at Baker Street 221B. In Book II Sherlock had to learn to deal with the vagaries of the world. Still those were nothing compared to what he will encounter during the next few years. I’d be very happy if you’d join me for the trip again. I’ll try to update once a week or every two weeks
Summary: The need for something stronger to reduce the blurry whirlwind of emotions raging through him from the top of his head to the tips of his toes makes him grit his teeth. He’d sell his kingdom for some horse right now to dull the anger and pathetic loneliness clouding his brain. Better to feel nothing, nothing at all than to feel this, this… He’s not going to, of course. He’s not stupid. But oh, this poisonous gauze he’s wrapped in, permeating through the pores of his skin to eat away at his insides. It’s hateful, this loss of control over himself.
