Disclaimer: BBC Sherlock belongs to Steven Moffat, Mark Gatiss, and the BBC. I am making no profit from their work.

Author's Note:This is a deep character study featuring graphic depiction of drug use, practically drug porn. Some intellectual angst, but at heart I write love stories. This has not been brit-picked.

Summary: Sherlock has a complicated relationship with drugs, but John gives Sherlock an ultimatum. John doesn’t realize what lengths Sherlock might have to go to in order to replace them. What Sherlock doesn’t realize is that John is okay with that.

Summary: Attending Oxford is almost a foregone conclusion for Sherlock.

Author's notes: I am currently studying at Oxford University, so I couldn't resist the chance to depict Sherlock as a fellow Oxonian! This story is a Sherlock-focused prequel to my John-POV fic Food for thought, but it can be read independently.

Sherlock passes through college social life like a ghost; or, to be more accurate, like a poltergeist.
