DW Reccer's comments:
This is a great AU that explores how John and Sherlock's relationship would be a little different had they met on much different terms, long before John had been invalided home from Afghanistan. The author does a great job with John's voice, detailing a bit of his experiences in the war as well as as a medical professional. There is also a look at Sherlock's drug use and history and how that effects his view of John and their possible future together. This is another story I hoped had kept going past it's ending, but it's a pretty complete story in itself.
Warnings: descriptions of war violence, drug overdose
