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 : )

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:

Lost for Words (57092 words) by awanderingbard
Chapters: 16/16
Fandom: Sherlock (TV)
Rating: Mature
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Characters: Sherlock Holmes, John Watson, Mycroft Holmes, Molly Hooper, Mrs. Hudson, Mummy (Sherlock), Greg Lestrade, Sarah Sawyer
Additional Tags: Hurt/Comfort, Friendship, Male Friendship, Depression, Medical Trauma, Head Injury, Alternate Universe - Canon Divergence, Swearing
Summary:

Sherlock is assaulted by an unknown assailant while John is away at a medical conference, leaving him with a severe brain injury. While his intellect and personality are intact, he's lost the use of his right-side limbs and his ability to speak freely. 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.
