Title: A gun and a pack of sandwiches.
Author: [livejournal.com profile] deepbluemermaid.
Word count: 3,600 words.
Genre: John/Sherlock pre-slash, but could also be read as a gen study of an intense friendship.
Rating: R for sexual references and dark subject matter.
Warnings: trigger warning for suicidal ideation and PTSD flashbacks. Also features non-graphic minor character death, mentions of body weight issues, alcoholism, drug addiction, and emotional abuse.

Summary: John tells himself that he's saving them money by learning to cook, and it's entirely true. He also has to admit that he likes feeding Sherlock. Maybe his instinctive need to look after people is reasserting itself, as the Afghanistan-induced compassion fatigue slowly wears off.

Author's note: this is the third in my 'Higher than reason' series (the fourth and final story will be posted soon). It'll make more sense if you read the previous fics first:

Reading too much meaning from existence (a three-part story about Sherlock at Oxford)
Food for thought (a character study of John as he readjusts to civilian life)
