For all the times I have re-imagined Reichenbach I never once considered this, but I loved this all the same. Very sweet of Mary to say what she said, but I agree with Mycroft - we should watch with a wary eye should anyone every kill or attempt to kill Holmes' Watson.

Usually not a fan of AU's, but this interesting. Will there de more?

I really love this idea for an AU. Very nicely done, nice and angsty. :)
