Homeless Sherlock fics

Hi all,
I'm looking for any fics where Sherlock is living on the streets and John is the one who finds him/cleans him up/rehabilitates him. I'd especially love post-Reichenbach fics where Sherlock has PTSD or some kind of mental problems and is living on the street.
Also, anyone know of any fics where nobody(not even Mycroft) knews Sherlock was alive for the entire Hiatus, and he comes back rather broken?
Or, he comes back rather more than broken in some way?
Post-Reichenbach where he's physically disabled in some way? That last one would make my year : )
Thanks : )

For disability post Sherlock have you read Faith Like a Child (https://www.fanfiction.net/s/7915280/1/Faith-Like-A-Child) by Ricechex? I admit the disability is mental than physical but it is such a beautifully written story!

Sherlock Holmes walks back into Dr. John Watson's life two years after his 'death' wearing a tuxedo and a smile and missing half of his left hand.

This is a very dark fic. It literally hurts to write it. Approach with caution. If you can think of any other tags I need to have on it, don't hesitate to let me know.

These last two aren't post-Reichenbach but it's the same general idea: Sherlock was kidnapped and when he returns he is broken in some way:

The Silence After (25007 words) by wendymarlowe
Chapters: 15/15
Fandom: Sherlock (TV)
Rating: Explicit
Warnings: Graphic Depictions Of Violence, Rape/Non-Con

Additional Tags: Hurt/Comfort, Angst, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder - PTSD, PTSD Sherlock, Aftermath of Torture, BAMF!John, BAMF John
Summary:

Sherlock may have physically survived his abduction, but in his mind he'll never be whole again. John understands PTSD, understands what Sherlock is going through, and is determined to be patient. Angst, hurt/comfort, and eventual Johnlock as Sherlock tries to rebuild his ability to trust.

(Trigger warnings for oblique descriptions of torture, rape, and various nonconsensual things within the confines of a kidnapping. None are current to the story itself.)

Sherlock is assaulted by an unknown assailant while John is away at a medical conference, leaving him with a severe brain injury.

And Sherlock Holmes has never been the best of patients.
