Healing Begins: The Case of the Severed Hand Part 3 (Sherlock Returns)

"Living through me is a compromise to yourself, not to me. It's an unasked for cost that I don't get to refuse, as the price to keep living." Sherlock had seen too many dangerous men to mistake a lack of physical aggression for safety. Gentleness didn't always stay that way. "I am trying. I have let you take control for periods of time. I have let you have your pet tiger back. I have let you have computer access, knowing what that means, and doing it anyway, because I know very well how painful everything can get, and because it gives you another space to live in."
