Summary
There are two bodies on the ground, and Sherlock was once-dead but now isn't, and he can't think anything but johnjohnjohnfindjohnsavejohn but John is not here, even though his name is on the lease, and this is his flat, and his fianceé is on the ground with a snapped neck, and Lestrade looks so very, very tired, and Mycroft is so stoic and unflappable, and Sherlock Holmes is falling apart at the seams.
Not a happy ending. Pre S3, so non canon compliant.

Summary
The first of the "Poe-logues", or the accompanying works to go with my Thoughts of Hollow Men series. This one is about DI Lestrade, and it is inspired by and references Edgar Allan Poe's "Annabel Lee". Make sure you read that fic before you read the Poe-logues. Here there be spoilers.
"Juliet records her first steps, her first words, her first everything as best she can, but there are pieces missing. He knows his wife resents his absence, as though, by not being there, he is taking some of her childhood away."

Summary
The second of the "Poe-logues", or the accompanying works to go with my Thoughts of Hollow Men series. This one is for Jim Moriarty, and it is inspired by and references Edgar Allan Poe's poem, "The City in the Sea". Make sure you read that fic before you read the Poe-logues. As always, here there be spoilers.
"Sebastian Moran will ask him while smoking a cigarette, “Just what is it that you want, Mr Moriarty?” And he doesn’t know. He truly does not care what the dividends are; wealth, real estate, power, sex, infamy—he has all of those, and feels nothing still. There is no fulfilment in those things. And yes, it’s true, he does enjoy the finer parts of life, crushing bones, hearts, minds, but he doesn’t want anything that he can name."
