Why this must be read:
I tend to think that what Sherlock did in The Reichenbach Falls was pretty much unforgivable. This story explores that. It has a happier sequel, but I like this as a standalone, too. Sherlock comes back from the dead, but he and John are both too broken to make their relationship work. This is absolutely one of my favorite post-Series 2 fanfics because it is much more emotionally TRUE than most stories. In real life, it would absolutely go just like this.
BTW, trigger warnings for stalking, emotional manipulation, lack of peer notice/support to an abuse victim, controlling behavior. Oh, and depression and PTSD.
