Surviving the Fall

Summary:

Two months after Sherlock's suicide, John receives a letter.

As per request, we've added text to every single letter in case it is hard to read.

Notes:

Welcome to ‘Surviving the Fall’; an account which is shared by Aiden and Christel for the sole purpose of sharing our role-play project with you all.

This role-play will focus on the writing of letters. More specifically, letters written between Sherlock and John. It will start with the first letter which is sent by Sherlock Holmes, two months after faking his suicide by jumping off of the roof of St. Bart’s hospital.

Christel writes John Watson and Aiden writes Sherlock Holmes and does the graphics.

From now on, we will update once a week, on Thursdays.

(See the end of the work for more notes.)

Dear John,

 

It’s been exactly two months since I jumped off the roof of Saint Bart’s. I’m not dead. Let me explain. Don’t throw this letter out without reading it properly first. Moriarty said he would kill you if I didn’t jump. I couldn’t lose you. He was going to kill you and Mrs. Hudson and Lestrade. I couldn’t let that happen. I’m dismantling his network so I can come homesafely. It took me until now to convince Mycroft to let me send this to you. Sadly, the only way it’s safe is through him. You cannot tell anyone I’m alive or both our lives may be in danger. If you won’t do that for my life think about Mrs. Hutson and Lestrade. Even Mycroft can’t keep all of you safe if they find out.

 

Most of all, I am sorry John. I’m sorry I hurt you.

 

Sherlock Holmes
