"Traffic Lights for the Colour Blind" by lavvyan, read by fayjay | Sherlock/John | H/c | In which it's not the war John is missing, Sherlock needs to find new ways to hang on to his flatmate, and Moriarty tries to get himself a pet of his own. Features also: guns, tea, the reason Sherlock Holmes won't take the tube, cell phones, a budgie, and one obnoxious older brother. | 9.400 words/1 hr. 9 min.

It's not that the noise makes it impossible to hear Sherlock any longer. It might have been, but John stops being Sherlock's audience the moment he hears the tell-tale singing of the tracks. The train is about to rush into the station, and just like always, John can't help but think what would happen if he were to take a few steps forward right now. Just like always, his feet stay rooted to the spot, but when he looks up, Sherlock is watching him sharply, frowning.

They switch to taxis after that.

What a great twist, to make John the mentally unstable one. Awesome. Loved it! :)
