Summary
The fall was supposed to be an ending. Instead, it becomes a beginning neither of them is prepared for.
Sherlock keeps vigil over William's broken body as he lies suspended between life and death, fighting pneumonia, starvation, and the devastating injuries that shattered both his body and his carefully orchestrated plan for redemption. Every moment of silence feels like standing at the edge of an abyss. And Sherlock, brilliant, desperate, and utterly helpless, can do nothing but watch. When he has to leave on a case, he worries something will happen to William while he is gone.
And something does.
William wakes up.
As William claws his way back from the darkness, he must confront a world where all his carefully constructed purposes have crumbled, where the weight of his crimes no longer has the release of death, and where the one person who understands him refused to let him go. Sherlock, meanwhile, faces the consequences of his choice, haunted by a single, terrible question: *What happens when a man who wanted to die is forced to live?*
