Author's summary: John's drunk and some idiot's got himself high in the bathroom. It's a shame he's the only trainee doctor in the house. A Johnlock story set while John is at university and an AU in that this time Sherlock is the one who's a few years older and is trying to find something to keep his interest in London after getting bored and being thrown out of Uni.

Reccer's comments: I adore AU's, and this one really stands out as something special. It's got it all, really - romance, humor, angst, hurt/comfort, etc. It deals with the heavy issue of Sherlock's drug addiction and how it affects John and their changing relationship. The big questions in this story are: Is John more important to Sherlock than his current lifestyle? Is Sherlock willing to take a leap and make changes in his life in order to have a shot at a better one?

It's really a fascinating and enjoyable read, hope you enjoy it as much as I did!
