    Summary

    The darkness had swallowed him whole the day his father had leapt off that cliff in Constantinople, and no matter how hard he fought it, its grip only grew tighter. He was frozen in time and space, left wondering if he’d been shown a glimpse of his own future. Silas Holmes had been right to see himself in his youngest son: he too had the capacity to become ruthless and unstoppable.

    Or, Sherlock has barely had time to recover from the events in Constantinople when the devil rears his ugly head again and he's forced to reckon with a few uncomfortable truths.

    Summary

    Silas Holmes has won. Sherlock is his prisoner, his family forced to leave without him, and the world teeters under his father’s shadow. Held as both captive and weapon, Sherlock must outthink the most dangerous adversary he’s ever faced—his own father. Meanwhile, Moriarty, Mycroft, and Cordelia race against time to save him before he becomes the heir Silas always intended.

    Summary

    In retrospect, they should have assumed something like this could happen. James will blame himself later on, insisting he should have known that there was a chance this could be a consequence of their involvement in ending Silas’ schemes.

    (Sherlock will, of course, tell him it’s not his fault, even as he grimaces in pain while doing so.)

    It comes in the form of a package from Sherlock’s mother.

    (Or: James and Sherlock are taken by one of Silas’s former partners. Conversations are had, secrets are shared, and revelations come to light. Heavy on the whump.)

    Summary

    "I—" Sherlock choked, somewhere between a cough and a sob.

    "Here," his father said, sliding a glass into his hands. "Drink."

    Sherlock did as he was told. There was something bitter to it, so unlike the drinks he and his mother had prepared earlier, but then again he wasn't sure he could trust his mind. His memories.

    And if he couldn't trust those, where did that leave him?

    "You have a brilliant mind. I always said that," his father said, as if he had heard his thoughts. "But there's a cost to brilliance."
