I just wanted to say a few closing words about this story before you go on to read the sequel (hopefully).
Firstly, there is a huge thank you to each of you that read/finished/commented on the story. What started as a little idea taken from a simple head-cannon challenge turned into this big thing. I don't like calling out names because I know I will forget someone unintentionally and they will have hurt feelings; however, an extra huge thank you goes to the ones that wrote me some very good criticism, ideas, and encouragement. Vous helped make this story better with votre ideas.
Merci beacoup ma chérie!
Secondly, as I mentioned a few time in the Author's Note that there was an underlying principle to this story- this is it. Kübler-Ross model (aka 5 Stages of Grief). (This idea came to me when I learnt about in my Psychology class and manipulated it to fit the story.) The 5 stages are: Denial, Anger, Bargain, Depression, and Acceptance. Several comment were made about "getting into" a character's head and knowing his thought, my intent was to portray those 5 stages in that manner. I hope it came across well- the chapter titles are hints to the stages.
Thirdly, referring to the title of the story I chose "In Whose Eyes?" because this story shifted the focus of the 5 stages between several different characters from their own viewpoints. An example would be chapters "Yorrick and John" or "Counting Down the Days".
I hope you understand why I don't have a proper title to the sequel now.
Thank you so much! :)

The new story is posted now.
A New Story
Sequel to "In Whose Eyes?" Despite not being able to distinguish colours doesn't stop Sherlock from The Work. Running around the crime scenes with his faithful newly-wed doctor at his side, all seems good and well, but knowing Sherlock- nothing ever goes as planned and especially so when Mary Watson is added to his circle of close friends. NO slash. NO vulgarity. NO character deaths. Laughter and tears included.
