Summary
Post RF- John's days have passed in relative obscurity since Sherlock died, but one evening, he finds a young woman and her child on the front steps of 221 Baker Street. Kate Tyler, Mrs Hudson's niece, is seeking help from her beloved aunt, but the child, Emma, with all too familiar blue eyes is seeking something only John can help her with. She sees through him, and he can only dread when she finally asks what he already knows: "Who is my father?".
---------
She stepped away from the women and faced him, holding out a steady hand, “Hello, sir. I’m Emma Tyler. You’re bored, aren’t you?”“P-pardon?” John stuttered, staring at the girl with Sherlock's eyes.

Summary
Set a year after the end of 'As Blue as the Sky, As Deep as the Ocean'. Life for the Holmes-Watson family has settled into relative predictability, well, as much as living with Sherlock Holmes can be predictable. They're all used to the cat-like sound of violin playing in the middle of the night.
They've been lucky. Sherlock, John, and Kate have had seventeen years that have passed like a fairy tale. The bedtime story isn't over though. Sherlock was wrong. There was more than just one Empty Hearse, and their children will be caught in the balance.
-----------
Sherlock was standing stock still, not crouching closer to the boy in a show of unconscious familial bond like the other three were. When he spoke, the words were slow, delicate in their severity, “What did he say?”Hamish shook his head, “What Da?”
“What. Did. The. One. With. The. Lighter. Say?” Sherlock enunciated, jaw set firmly.
“That he was going to burn the heart out of me.”
