    Summary

    The following story was inspired by, but is not a comment on "Waiting Room", by OldDVS. Please, understand. I enjoyed (and am going to Kudo) that story. This is not a critique or an argument. Instead it's a case of reading something, and thinking, "I wonder what would happen if this had been the case, instead of that?" So you write the story to find out. In this case, the question was, "What if, instead of being a whirling bitch, Greg's ex was a really nice, smart person--a "Donna from Chiswick" smart person with brains the size of a planet and no one much to share that with?" That idea clicked with numerous comments Rupert Graves has made about Greg's admiration of and envy of Sherlock--yes, the freedom of being not a pro, and breaking rules, but also the sheer brilliance that leaps forward where Greg can only go at the steady hunting pace of a bloodhound.

    So, this is a story about why Greg's marriage failed...and what that might mean to Mycroft.

    Summary

    In chaos theory, the butterfly effect is the sensitive dependence on initial conditions in which a small change in one state of a deterministic nonlinear system can result in large differences in a later state.

     

     

    So, what happens, if Sherlock only came back after three years instead of two?
    What happens, if John is already married and has a daughter, by the time he’s back?
    What happens, when Sherlock realises the life he had, didn’t magically stop and wait for him, and the people around him moved on without him?

     

    And what role does his brother play in all of this?

    Summary

    When travelling back in time please do not forget your life in the luggage bin. Remember to search your area for any extinct cultures and check for train conductors under the seats. In case of emergency and you become a messianic figure, do not panic and exit in an orderly fashion.

    Have a nice stay in Hisui, and welcome home.
