   Summary

   After a successful case and a night of drinking, John and Sherlock's friendship begins to change in subtle ways. Then murder victims who look suspiciously Sherlock-esque begin appearing around London. Sherlock is delightfully intrigued. John is not.

   [Please heed the warning about graphic depictions of violence. There is a lot of torture in chapters 5, 6, and 7. It's not especially gruesome but there's quite a bit of it. I don't know why I felt the need to be so mean to our boys.]
