Summary
Excerpt taken from Chapter 10:
We are the ill-fated sons of glory, dear brother. Mycroft had said that before, hadn’t he? The recollection was swirling, misty. Mixing crudely with the gray fog that had been creeping down the rickety attic stairs all day. Infiltrating his mind with fear. Unreal, most likely. The pirates you so used to admire had notoriously short lives.
Victor certainly hadn’t lived for long. Redbeard, he’d liked to be called.
Mind palace Mycroft. I thought I told you to go away. You’ve already said all of this.
Is it not still relevant?
Sherlock didn’t bother to answer. It was, in fact, not relevant. Dying this way – if that were indeed to be his fate – would involve no regret. No introspection. It is what it is. I’ve fought for good. I know I have. On the side of the angels.
This fic is technically the third part of a series, but it stands alone as well. NOTE: The title was changed from "Genius is a Star Whose Light (is Soon to Sink in Endless Night)", just because it was ultimately too unwieldy.

Bookmark Notes:
what the actual fuck, that was gorgeous. Pure and delicate, rough and callous.
“ John. He knew him by the weight of his hands, by the very whorls of his fingerprints. Indelibly embedded into his sense memory. Warm. Grounding. Yes.
Of course it was John.
Sherlock forced his eyelids open. They were inordinately heavy. The light that immediately flooded his pupils told him he might not have drowned. Not yet. Endless night hadn’t fully descended upon him.
My conductor of light is here.”

This is a canon divergence of "The Final Problem", where Molly Hooper is trapped in the coffin instead of the "I Love You" scene. Sherlock races against time to find her, Molly must confront fear, darkness, and find hope in the darkest of times (quite literally) testing the limits of love and survival.
