I came across this really touching Sherlock fic last night on AO3. It's in the hearts of small things by michi_thekiller. The premise is pretty simple: John gets a new cat and names him Sherlock. However, the story itself is a bit more complex. Yes, John gets a cat and names him Sherlock, but that happens after John contemplates suicide (in the face of the original Sherlock's "death"). And the cat he finds at the shelter is Sherlock. I mean, if Sherlock became a cat then this cat would be him. ( Cut for cats or, rather, one cat. )
