    Summary

    It's been two years since the incident on The Thames bridge.

    William is very much alive, and still learning to navigate a new sort of existence with his flatmate, partner and best friend in New York City.

    When a new case with The Pinkerton Detective Agency takes an unexpected turn, William's metal is put to the test. Freshly haunted by the demons of his past and still grappling with an answer to the question of his own atonement, he's forced to consider what it really means to take a life, and in doing so, he and Sherlock must finally confront the depths of their feelings for one another.

    'My thoughts go out to you, my Immortal Beloved I can only live wholly with you or not at all -

     

     

     

    Be calm my life, my all. Only by calm consideration of our existence can we achieve our purpose to live together. Oh continue to love me, never misjudge the most faithful heart of your beloved.

     

     

     

    Ever Thine,
    Ever Mine,
    Ever Ours.'

     

    ~ Beethoven
