The Science of Starting Again//Book Five

Author Note

Time to party because this fic is done!! Woo Hoo!! 

I've had this planned since season three came out (actually, maybe even before that. I knew that Teddy and Greg would eventually end up together, but how I did not know because obviously season three hadn't come out yet). I must admit, I'm quite happy about how this fic has turned out. Although there were not many deductions and action-y things going on with Teddy, being able to focus on the mental and emotional side of her life was a joy to write, and I think echoed what was happening in season three (it was a very emotionally focused season tbh, which was new but quite enjoyable). 

How her story goes now, I honestly don't know. As I write this the fandom is currently fractured due to the Season Four Discourse™, so I honestly don't know what the truth is. Was The Final Problem a real episode? Was it a hallucination?? Is Johnlock real?? Is there a secret episode?? I don't know!! And it's all giving me a headache, to be honest, so I think we'll wait until this all settles down before I decide how Teddy's story will proceed from here. 

Anyway, as always, we've got some acknowledgements to do!

Thanks to Ariane DeVere for the transcripts that have allowed me to keep in line with the show. 

Thanks to Mark Gatiss and Steven Moffat for the show (p.s leak the real episode).

Thanks to the wonderful Sir ACD, you fantastic writer <3

Thanks to the fam for their support even though, after a good five or six years, I still haven't let them read a word of what I've written. 

Thanks to the music I listen to to set the mood of each chapter (which can be found under the playlist title The Deduction Series on Spotify).

Thanks to my brain for juggling fanfiction writing, university studies, and a life without causing me to have a major mental breakdown. You go brain!

And finally, thank you my lovely readers! Your support means the world to me and I am so thankful that you guys take the time out of your day to read the things I write. Thank you a thousand times over, my lovelies <3

Anyway, I've got some editing to do on this series (19 year old me is looking at 14 year old me like 'wtf did you write in that first fic you gremlin'), ANNND I've got some new fanfics to start writing and releasing. Any of you guys fans of Game of Thrones?? What about the Marvel Universe?? If you are, stay tuned, I've got some awesome goodies coming your way <3
