A Study in Emotion: A Look at the emotional life of Sherlock Holmes Abbygayle Withers

You are familiar with the version of Sherlock Holmes that John Watson saw fit to put before the public. Here, Sherlock tells the grittier truth that John protected the public from knowing. John prevents Sherlock's suicide and continues to lend his strength to help Sherlock battle mental illness and homophobia. Sherlock struggles to stay ahead of the inner demons which haunt him. All that Mycroft Holmes asks for is enough power to keep himself safe. The search for that security leads Mycroft to found the queerest club in London, a place which finally feels like the home his family estate never was to him. If he doesn't learn to trust this found family, he will find the power amassed will not be enough to offer him the protection he so desperately seeks.
