Sherlock fic: 'Reading too much meaning from existence', 1/3.
Title: 'Reading too much meaning from existence', part 1 of 3.
Author: deepbluemermaid.
Fandom: the BBC's Sherlock.
Spoilers: set many years pre-canon, with only the tiniest spoilers for 'A Study in Pink'.
Disclaimer: none of the characters you recognise belong to me.
Word count: 2,300 words.
Genre / Rating: gen; PG-13 for sexual references and disturbing content (part 2 will be NC-17 slash).
Warnings: angst! References to developmental and personality disorders, verbal/emotional child abuse, infidelity, and chronic insomnia. Possibly triggering for anyone who had negative childhood experiences with psychiatrists.
Summary: Attending Oxford is almost a foregone conclusion for Sherlock.
Author's note: I am currently studying at Oxford University, so I couldn't resist the chance to depict Sherlock as a fellow Oxonian! This fic is a Sherlock-focused prequel to my John-POV story Food for thought, but it can be read independently.
At a fairly early age, it became evident that Sherlock Holmes possessed an incredible talent for reading people and making deductions from his surroundings.
