Homeless Sherlock fics

[deancas91190dc.livejournal.com]

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!

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:

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

John suddenly finds himself as the main source of support, and possibly a caregiver, to a flatmate who is struggling to do the things he loves most. And Sherlock Holmes has never been the best of patients.
