Canon Story: The Final Problem
Title: Heart
Author: winryweiss
Rating: PG
Notes: Holmes' PoV. Implied slash - but not the kind you'd expect, I daresay. And no Beta-reading for these, pray your forgiveness.


Silence brings life. It keeps the heart beating.

I don’t mean my worthless existence, which is already at stake. What I have in mind is the heart outside one’s body - the most beloved person underneath the sun.

Moriarty’s right-hand man is somewhere up there - a tiger hunter whose heart, by my endeavour, is lost forever in the waterfall.

So Holmes believes that keeping away from Watson and not letting him know he survived, will deflect the danger away from Watson..?

Oh yes, I sincerely believe that this was the main reason he didn't get in touch with Watson in any way whatsoever during those three years.

Staying away to protect Watson...first and foremost motive?

Always the first and foremost motive.
(Closely followed by Holmes' love for dramatics.)

I'm sure you're right on both points!
