Summary
It wasn’t that he didn’t like Christmas or always had a bad time. Most years weren’t bad, even the many spent as an agent. But it also made him sentimental for other times, things he couldn’t have anymore.
Ethan reminisces. And buys a tree.

Summary
How did John and Mary make it from the "domestic" in 221B to Christmas day? With a minimum of conversation, that's for sure. A bit of non-slash head canon to fill in the gap in HLV.

Summary
One of Mrs. Hudson's boys was dead; one was hurting. It was heartbreaking for her to watch. As she saw John spiral away from her, she reflected on her long relationship with the Holmes boys. That is, until Mycroft Holmes rung the doorbell with an intriguing request.
“I came over at once to London, called in my own person at Baker Street, threw Mrs. Hudson into violent hysterics, and found that Mycroft had preserved my rooms and my papers exactly as they had always been.”

Summary
In the hours following Sherlock's Fall, John struggled to get to see his friend for the last time. It fell to Mycroft and Molly to keep him away and to make him sell the lie on which Sherlock's entire mission depended.
This is a bit of a thought piece. I've always been bothered by John's ignorance of the true happenings of Sherlock's "death," reasoning that it would have taken wild horses to keep him away from the body after the Fall. And John would not have been satisfied with a brief glimpse at a body double, so the balance of probability is that he never saw the body at all. This is my attempt to work my way through how anyone could have kept John away from Sherlock that one last time.
Rated T for language.
