    Summary

    But there was something in William’s expression—a cautiousness, a distance—that sent a ripple of unease through Sherlock’s relief. His brows knitted together as he studied Sherlock’s face, as if searching for something he couldn’t quite place.

    Then came the words Sherlock would have never anticipated, not in a thousand lifetimes.

    “Who are you?”

    After the fall, William wakes up in an unfamiliar city with no memories of his past life as the Lord of Crime.

    Meanwhile, Sherlock struggles with the fear that once William remembers everything, he’ll choose to leave again.

    Summary

    To peacefully end the war with Akielos, King Auguste of Vere sold his brother in marriage. To some, that was his first mistake.

    As Laurent thrived in Akielos, his brother's rule suffered without him. Now the King of Vere has taken a prolonged Retreat from his duties, leaving the country in the hands of his chosen Regent, his uncle, Richard. In the south, Akielos is at war with her own people, a simple rebellion that should have been quashed in months stretching into years, as if their enemies somehow know their every move before they make it.

    Summary

    After a stinging encounter with a member of the House of Lords while researching for a story, Alan finds himself questioning whether he's earned his career. Jack sets him straight.

    ‘Ah.’ Pemberton raised his eyebrows, and his gaze flicked from Alan’s face down to his feet and back up again. ‘Your reputation precedes you, Mr. Ross. Careful what you say to this one,’ he warned the other two peers. ‘Lord Hawthorn’s pet journalist, you know.’

    The spiel Alan had ready to go about his dedication to accuracy and objectivity died in his throat.

    Pemberton’s words weren’t suggestive. They weren’t even derisive. Worse: they were spoken like a basic statement of fact, as though Pemberton had pointed out that Alan was holding a notepad, or had curly hair.

    Summary

    “You know,” Sherlock says out of the blue on a sunny morning. “Mrs. Hudson used to tell me something funny.”

    William hums without looking up from his newspaper to let Sherlock know he’s listening.

    “She used to say,” Sherlock continues, “that if I ever found someone who could tolerate my living habits, I should marry them immediately.”

    That gives William pause. He looks up from his newspaper.

    “Oh?”

    “Mhm,” Sherlock hums. “I’d laughed then, but…” He trails off. William desperately wishes Sherlock would turn around from where he continues to wash dishes, because these words—these words—

    William is getting ahead of himself. Sherlock is saying these words in jest, of course, but a terrible, terrible urge in William wishes it anything but—if Sherlock would just turn so that William could see his teasing expression for himself, his terrible urge could be tamped down.

    Sherlock does not turn.

    ---

    or, William overthinks a particular conversation and comes to some startling conclusions
