Chapter summary:
God, he must be mental to start doing this again. It had been so nice when John had shown up and taken over all of Greg's “explaining emotions to Sherlock”-duties. But it seems that, this time, John is the problem.

A/N: A giant thank you goes to emmadelosnardos and lostgirlslair for their dedicated betaing and to a_lanart for being a wonderful Brit picker. lostgirlslair was also absolutely brilliant in helping me whenever I got stuck and drinkingcocoa was instrumental in figuring out the Sherlock/Lestrade part of this story.

Summary: After the events of Reichenbach John and Lestrade discover that there are still pockets of light in the world. Sherlock has to realise that he cannot fully control his subconscious or his emotions.
Chapter summary: There is something morbidly fascinating in contemplating his own grave, not in an abstract fashion but by visiting the actual spot. It is strangely freeing to be thought dead: There are no more expectations to disappoint, no more mistakes to make.

He is about to turn around and start the next leg of his journey when he sees two familiar figures approach the grave hand in hand. He quickly melts back into the uneven shadows of the hedge and watches as John and Lestrade come to a halt in front of the polished stone.
