Post-Reichenbach Sally: What Was She Thinking?

[anonymous]

I'd like to see something from post-Reichenbach Sally's POV. Not demonising her, but giving her thought process, and maybe her (not warm and fuzzy) regrets. The more tragic, the better.

Oh! Oh! Seconded!

Passing Thus Alone 1/1

[anonymous]

This hit on something I'd been thinking about, so I couldn't resist a wee little mini-fill...

----

It caught up with her just as late night became early morning.

When Anderson wasn't nearby to give a knowing look and encouraging nod. When the nameless others who had emerged from the Yard's woodwork weren't at her elbow, ready to speed her concerns to receptive ears. When her superiors weren't before her to praise her for her vigilance.

She blinked up at a ceiling she couldn't make out through the darkness.

It was no mystery, where the cornerstones were set: weeks, months, no years of frustration due to Sherlock Holmes. He'd celebrated the violent deaths of the victims. He'd mocked their family and friends. He'd insulted her team in general and her in particular, deducing intimate details, announcing private secrets, laughing at all-too-human foibles

<3 <3 <3 for this fill

This hit the spot. Perfect! I love how this makes her story a fall, too - and makes her aware of it. Great voice here. I love this.
