Bookmarker's Notes
This is my new headcanon. No Six Thatchers, no Lying Detective, no Final Problem. Just Sherlock and John, slowing coming together, realising what we've known all along. Beautiful 💕

Summary
HLV, had it hewed closer to the original ACD story “The Adventure of Charles Augustus Milverton”:
Sherlock took a long, deep breath, scenting the air. “Claire de la Lune. Why do I know it?”
“That’s Mary’s.”
“Not Mary, somebody else.”
They continued creeping up the stairs. Halfway up, they could hear Magnussen, talking soft and fast. Even without being able to make out words, they could hear the desperation in his voice.
Then came the gunshot.
Quickly and cautiously, the men sped up the stairs and eased around a corner to where they had a clear view of the main room of the penthouse. Magnussen was clearly dead, blood and brains spattered on the carpet. As he knew he would, Sherlock saw a petite woman bending over him, blond wisps escaping her knit cap. With a soft exhalation of triumph, she fished the newsman’s keys out of his pocket.
Sherlock put his lips right up against John’s ear and breathed, “Lady Smallwood.”
Suddenly, John stiffened in shock. “No,” he whispered. Sherlock looked to see what had surprised him so, and was himself stunned into silence. For when the female assassin straightened up, her reflection was clearly visible in the window.
