    Summary

    After the trip to Buckingham Palace, Sherlock finds out that maybe John's family background was different than he'd thought.

    A series of AUs where ONE fact gets changed and then everything else changes in its wake--all while keeping as much canon-compliance as possible (army doctor, invalided home, alcoholic sister, crime-solving with Sherlock). Most of them more or less take place between the Great Game and the ASIB Christmas party. Each can be read on its own, but (if only to keep track of my thought process) it's probably helpful to read them in sequence.

    Summary

    "You need food, Rocket. Worse than me. A hell of a lot worse than me, and I'm worried about you. We have water, neither of us are hurt, but both of us will die eventually if we don't eat. And I can hunt down one of those," he said, pointing off into the distance at a four-legged ungulate of some kind, grazing on the tough grass.

    "Neither of us have any weapons, genius. You're gonna just run up to it and crack it on the head with a rock?"

    "No," Peter said. "I'm gonna run it down and slit its throat."

    Bookmarker's Notes

    The galaxy likes to laugh at humans for being savages--it tends to forget how close under the skin that savage lives.
    (did you know that there were still cultures that actually used persistence hunting when we put a man on the moon?)
