Author's Notes: The drabble references Watson's odd phrasing: Folk who were in grief came to my wife like birds to a light-house.
To Mary, they come like birds to the light-house – seeking shelter in the storm, a guiding light, a beacon in the rough sea of life.
To Holmes, they come like ravens to the gallows – seeking solutions to murderous conundrums and puzzles of the darker sort. He is a beacon, too, piercing through lies and disguises for the one possible truth.
