Author's Notes: It’s probably cheating, but once the idea struck, I had to do a double-sixty. This is all from Helen Stoner’s comment: “You know how subtle are the links which bind two souls which are so closely aligned.” I can't decide if I like the second half as BBC!Sherlock/John or ACD!Holmes/Watson. Read it however you like.



She sleeps; she would not hear if I spoke. She took my place in the center room, fearful, but I guard her now. I cannot allow my sister to come to harm. The dead have ways of seeing solutions; I whisper the name of her savior. Perhaps she will recall it as a memory and not a dream: “Sherlock Holmes.”

He sleeps, and I dare not speak in case he hears and wakes. I have oft watched his sleep before, but now it is restless and raw. I cannot guard him longer, but have done what I could to keep him from harm. I turn to leave, and he sighs, whispers a memory as if in a dream. “Sherlock Holmes.”

This is such a nice set, and it's not cheating at all, we've often had several stories for one story (and this is the second go for some of us, anyway). I'm glad you included both versions, wouldn't have wanted to miss either!
