Summary:: It is a well-known fact that Dr John Hamish Watson has trust issues. What most people fail to realise is that there are two sides to every coin, and that every phrase has a double meaning. And Sherlock Holmes? Well. Let’s just say he has trust issues of his own.



A/N: This was written for yeomanrand and shinychimera for the 2012 holmestice gift exchange.  Many thanks go out to my britpickers debriswoman and thesmallhobbit. To prettybirdy979 goes my undying gratitude for not only being my longsuffering beta, but cheerleader and fellow brainstormer as well.

Dialogue from “A Study in Pink” was taken from arianedevere’s transcript of the episode found in her livejournal.

Although I tried to make it clear in the telling, I want to play it safe and say that the overdose depicted in this story is accidental, not a suicide attempt. I don’t want to unintentionally trigger anybody.
