Y/N sat crouched near a grave, tears were streaming down her face. Mycroft patted her back as tears fall down of her face and to the grave of her dead husband. "Its okay Y/N" Mycroft said trying to comfort her. She wiped her tears and stood up, her clothes wrinkly. "I should stop crying" Y/N said. 

3 Years Later...

Y/N was in her office reading over the paper works she needed for another case, evidence and notices, interviews of suspects and such. 3 years before she thought if Sherlock had more time what would he have done? Then she realized he would have continued doing what he had done best. 

She stood up and looked outside the window, her hair flowing behind her. "I put myself back in the narrative" She sang quietly. " I stop wasting time on tears, I live another fifty years, it's not enough!" She continued. "I interviewed every person who worked by your side" She said looking up to the sky. 

"I try to make sense of your thousands of pages of writings" She then went to her desk and got the book that was sitting on her desk. It was titled: "The Writings Of Sherlock Holmes by James Madison Holmes" She hugged it closely to her chest and twirled to the window. She held the book out a bit and said: "You really do write like you're running out of time" She chuckled a bit.

"I relied on Mycroft while he was alive, we told your story" Y/N sang clutching the book to her chest as she remembered about telling her son James about what her father wrote to her and tried to make sense of it, and got a memory of Mycroft, James and her sharing his story to others.

"He is buried in St Woolos Cemetery near you" Y/N giggled as the thought of Sherlock not wanting to be buried next or even near to his brother. "When I needed him the most he was right on time" Y/N explained. "And I'm still not through, I asked myself: What would you do if you had more time?" She sang. "The Lord, in his kindness, he gives me what you always wanted, he gives me more time!" Y/N sang and putted down the book and looked at the small jar like necklace.

There was a paper inside it that said: "Dear Y/N"  It was outlined with burn marks. "I speak out against slavery, you could have done so much more if you had time" She sang. "And when my time is up, have I done enough? Will they tell our story?" She asked as she opens the door out of 221B and to a orphanage. "Can I show you what I'm proudest of?" She looked up to the sky as she reached the gates of the orphanage.

"I established the first private orphanage in London, Baker Street" She said. "I helped raise hundreds of children" She smiled as she entered the outside of the orphanage and saw children playing around. "I get to see them growing up" She smiled as she saw a little girl holding the book her son published. 

As she quietly watched the girl telling a group of children read the letters of Sherlock Holmes. "In their eyes, I see you Sherlock, I see you every time" She said looking at the children's eyes as a boy then jumps into the group and shows them a book, the book was titled: "The Story Of Sherlock Holmes" As he also started to tell them the story.

"Have I done enough? Will they tell my story?!" She sang as she went under a tree and sat there looking at the children. She hugged her knees and looked at them with softened eyes. "Oh, I can't wait to see you again, It's only a matter of time..." She said as her eyes slowly closes.

"Who lives, who dies, who tells your story..." She sang as her eyes closes completely.

Author's Note : 

I have nothing else to say that I am sad because of writing this, I hope this lead you in tears. I got inspired by one of the songs in Hamilton, that is titled: "Who Lives, Who Dies, Who Tells Your Story" and I hope you enjoyed this chapter as much as I did writing this, see you guys next time, probably will not publish anything here temporarily because I have to update Ignorance, I may changed some things a bit in the lyrics, but you're singing.  Anyways, bye! 

P.S. You should go watch Hamilton

Y/N = Your Name
