Oooh, nice twist on the traditional story! It makes sense that Sherlock wouldn't fear his own death very much, not even a lonely one. Come to think of it, he probably expected to have one, and has resigned himself to it a long time ago (or at that's what he expected least before John came on the scene.) But John's death--that's another matter altogether!

Great job! I've really been enjoying these updates and am looking forward to the resolution.

Merry Christmas!

Thanks! The last chapter should be up and running now.

Sherlock's a paradox, alright: for all his arrogance, he doesn't actually seem to care about himself very much. Let harm befall John Watson, though (or Mrs. Hudson), and his whole world would go careening off its axis and plummet through space.

Merry Christmas to you, too (what's left of it, anyway)!
