A/N: My second round of 60s will concentrate on the Moriarty family, which I've based on canon as far as possible, but tweaked a lot due to gaps in canon. You can find a family tree and some explanation in my journal, but please feel free to ask, too.
This story is told from Jane Moriarty's point of view, one of James's younger sisters. In my timeline James Moriarty and Sherlock Holmes share the same year of birth, making 1874 one year before Moriarty's scientific breakthrough.

1874 was a remarkable year, for all of us. Two young men found their way, one of them directly, the other one by discovering science as the perfect cover for his actual interests. In this year my brother James announced the title of his upcoming publication, finally bringing me back on his trace. It was the year the Hunt began.
