   Summary

   After Mary's death, John Watson is heartbroken and inconsolable. Sherlock Holmes wants nothing more than to find a way to help his friend to be happy again. When Sherlock begins therapy appointments with Ella, she convinces him to write a letter (never to be sent) to express his true feelings for John. When John accidentally stumbles upon this letter, he's forced to come to terms with feelings he's never really acknowledged.

   This is the story of how the light and its conductor slowly find their way back to one other.
