   Summary

   There are two bodies on the ground, and Sherlock was once-dead but now isn't, and he can't think anything but johnjohnjohnfindjohnsavejohn but John is not here, even though his name is on the lease, and this is his flat, and his fianceé is on the ground with a snapped neck, and Lestrade looks so very, very tired, and Mycroft is so stoic and unflappable, and Sherlock Holmes is falling apart at the seams.

    

   Not a happy ending. Pre S3, so non canon compliant.
