The Fall Of Sherlock

If one man could survive his own death, then that man would be Sherlock Holmes - genius detective, self-proclaimed high functioning sociopath, and Dr John Watson's best friend.

That didn't mean John had to know about it. In fact, it was imperative that he couldn't even fathom his best friend having survived the fall from St Bart's rooftop. The poor doctor would be left to mourn his best friend and companion for two whole years before he ever decided to show his face again. But what happens in those two years? How does he cope?

Poor Mrs Hudson had seen Sherlock as something of a son. Whilst she always emphasised that she wasn't his housekeeper, she would always be something more than a landlady. As such, Sherlock's 'death' hit a lot harder than merely a blow to the pocket. But what does she busy herself with, now the flat upstairs is seemingly forever quiet, the walls and mantle being spared from further tarnishing?

Greg Lestrade had thought the world of the detective before his 'passing', even if he couldn't remember his name. Whether he was called Graham or Geoff, at the end of the day, Sherlock would always prove his genius by saving Scotland Yard's neck and cracking yet another case. But above all, he had been a friend, someone to look out for. Though Lestrade never thought he'd be investigating the legitimacy of the greatest weapon the country's police force had, the consulting detective - post-suicide.
What will the inspector do now?

London doesn't know the challenges it's facing.
Sherlock Holmes does. And he's going to stop them before they even have chance to occur.
But the public, and indeed his closest friends, will think him dead - all with the exception of Molly Hooper, his brother Mycroft, and about 25 of his homeless network. The threat posed by Jim Moriarty even after his death is too great to be ignored, and Sherlock will have to manage with saying goodbye to the life he has grown to love in order to protect the city that makes it possible.
