    Summary

    BERNARD: I think everyone imagines going to their own funeral, at some point. Wandering among the mourners, listening to what they say about you. And in a sense, everyone does. We bring them with us, different versions of them. Lovers, colleagues, rivals.

    Summary

    This is a group of interlinked short stories (most between 2000 and 7000 words) which tell the story of how Holmes and Watson really came to be separated at the Reichenbach Falls, and how they found each other again. Each story is in the form of a document--a letter, a journal, a surveillance report, an affidavit, etc.--which is linked to one or more ACD canon tales, and which tells us something about that story that was changed or suppressed in Watson's published account of it. Holmes/Watson, with glimpses of other relationships. Only one story ("The Boy in the Boat," which is f/f) is rated M. Everything else is T.

    ACD canon stories that inspired "Missing Pages" include: The Hound of the Baskervilles, The Sign of Four, "The Final Problem," "The Empty House," "The Naval Treaty," "A Case of Identity," "The Greek Interpreter," "The Gloria Scott," "The Noble Bachelor," "The Copper Beeches," "The Disappearance of Lady Frances Carfax," "The Devil's Foot," "The Illustrious Client," and "A Case of Identity."

    Many stories work as stand-alones. If you want the whole arc, just read them in the order in which they are posted. Either way you slice it, I hope you enjoy!

    Summary

    Both Aziraphale and Crowley wish they could have handled their last conversation differently; but there's no going back now. In real life, you can't just reset the props and do another take.

    Not unless you have a time machine. Or know someone who does.

    Ten, Donna Noble, and Harry Watson* try to repair Aziraphale and Crowley's relationship without causing the world to end. It turns out to be more complicated than they expected. But if at first you don't succeed...you can always create a time loop.

    ***

    *Harry Watson is technically a canon character in Sherlock; but in this story she is essentially an original character from my Wild About Harry series, and no knowledge of Sherlock is necessary. For the full experience, you may want to read "Recovery" first, which explains how Harry and Donna met and why they are now both part timelord.

     

    This story assumes that most readers will be pretty familiar with the canon events depicted in S2 E6, "Every Day." Especially the last fifteen minutes.

    Summary

    “Who would win: Aziraphale or Crowley.”

    “Oh!” Aziraphale startles. “Well—such a question. It’s not as though either of us has engaged in so much as fisticuffs in ages, and one does need to keep up practice with these sorts of things.” His fretting dies abruptly when Crowley cuts over him clearly, baldly: “Aziraphale.”

    Aziraphale’s mouth clicks shut, and he goes so still that the group is forcibly reminded that ethereal beings don’t technically need to breathe, have a heartbeat, or even metabolize energy to exist. Beside him, Crowley’s stiffened up and his lips pull back from his teeth in a toe-curling wince.

    Summary

    I'll be your mirror; reflect what you are, in case you don't know.

    Crowley drummed his fingers briefly against his mug, and then sat back a little in his chair. He gave Aziraphale a long, appraising glance, and then seemed to come to some decision. “Listen, angel,” he said, “let me pitch you something.”

    Lulled by the familiar patter of Crowley’s voice as he was, Aziraphale still recognised this to be vaguely dangerous territory. He swallowed. “Go on,” he said.
