FIC: The Architect of Solitude (Postlude)-COMPLETE
Title: The Architect of Solitude
Rating: NC-17
Pairing: Sherlock/John
Word Count: 91,426 (COMPLETE)
Summary: In the ninth year of John Watson’s life, he learned a magic trick, and he starred in a play. The Fall is just an act, just a magic trick in the end-a necessary deception, a desperate sort of sham. It's sleight of hand to save lives and keep hearts unbroken. And it was all John's idea.
And that changes everything.
Spoilers for 2.03 - The Reichenbach Fall.
Chapter Summary: And the important thing-the important thing is that at the age of forty-one, John Hamish Watson believes beyond all possibility for doubt that broken hearts will mend and soar and race and thrive once the clouds part, once the sky clears, so long as those hearts are held dearer than the fear of death, so long as the love is enough.
Disclaimer: I own nothing but the plot. Title credit to Georg Trakl.
