Chapter 6: ‘Happy Birthday, Brother Mine’
Sherlock ran as fast as he could for as far as he could. The burning of his protesting lungs and legs hardly registered as the same three words echoed through Sherlock’s head.
Redbeard is dead… Redbeard is dead… Redbeard is dead…
Eventually, Sherlock stopped running and collapsed to the ground, panting heavily. Tears streamed down his face. Sherlock angrily brushed them away. He would not cry! He wouldn’t…
It was no good- the tears kept on coming.
Why had his family lied to him? Why?! Redbeard is his friend!
Sherlock gulped.
Was his friend.
No

Chapter 5: The Truth
Needless to say, the headmaster wasn’t very impressed with Sherlock and after a long lecture on why Sherlock should have kept his mouth shut, he was sent to Professor Xander without any dinner. The Professor, too, had a few words for Sherlock.
“Really Sherlock, was it necessary to mouth off at the police officer like that?” the Professor asked. Sherlock shrugged, staring hard at the ground.
“I couldn’t help myself, sir,” he muttered.
“Was someone else controlling your actions, Sherl?”
“No.”
“Are you a puppet?”
“No.”
“Do you ha

Chapter 4: The Curious Case of Carl Powers
There came a time when Sherlock had to go back to that dreadful boarding school with it’s dreadful students and it’s dreadful teachers. His leg, although out of the cast, hurt when he walked. His mind was still emotionally raw from the accident. And Redbeard? Who knows where he was! Sherlock missed him terribly.
And worst of all? Sherlock knew he was going to be targeted by bullies this year. Mycroft had graduated so now it was safe to pick on Sherlock.
He would be seeing Professor Xander again, for sure. But that was only one lonely positive stacked against a mountain of negatives.

Chapter 3: Where is Redbeard?
It was the steady beeping of machines, not the sound of his mother’s voice that guided Sherlock back into consciousness. He opened his eyes and immediately closed them again. He felt terrible! His head hurt, his leg throbbed and it hurt to breathe. He tried opening his eyes again and found familiar faces staring back at him.
“Mother?” Sherlock asked dumbly.
“Baby, I’m here,” his mother said in a soothing voice. Sherlock struggled to form words.
“W-where am I-I?” he tried to look around to see where he was, but that made his head hurt more.
“You’re at t

Chapter 2: The Accident
“Boys!” Mrs Holmes greeted the Holmes Brothers outside the school gates.
“Hello Mother. Hello Father,” Mycroft greeted them respectfully.
“Mum! Dad!” Sherlock shouted excitedly. He eagerly ran up and hugged his parents right there and then. Sherlock hadn’t realised how much he missed his parents until now.
“Sherlock, can’t the hugs and kisses and childish things wait until we get home?” Mycroft asked moodily, looking around to see if anyone was watching.
“Mycroft, don’t use that tone on your brother,” Mrs Holmes scolded.
“We’

Chapter 1: Bullies and Mind Palaces
Twelve year old Sherlock Holmes took one look at the toilets and decided that he really, really did not want his head placed in one. Unfortunately, he feared that he wouldn’t have a choice as the three older boys dragged him into a cubicle.
“Drown him! Drown him Charlie!” one of the boys (whom Sherlock never really bothered to learn the name of) urged.
“You know what? I just might!” Charlie, the big brute of a boy sneered. He shoved Sherlock foreword. The two older boys blocked his escape while Charlie forced Sherlock to his knees.
“You need a lesson on keeping your
