Summary: John is given a chance to take the fight to Moriarty. You know what they say about whoever fights monsters…
Why read it: THE TWISTS! THE TWISTS! OH SHIT, SON, THE TWISTS!

I consider myself pretty well versed in the art of ‘figuring out what the fuck is going on’, and usually I got shit down no matter how masterful an author is at the opposing art of ‘not letting the readers figure out what the fuck is going on’.
But damn, there were some serious plot twists in this that I just wasn’t expecting. Add that on top of a wonderfully written John-centric vendetta fic, and I was hooked.
Notes: This was recced for the request of “can we get some more BAMF!Mycroft or BAMF!John?”
BAMF!John. Fuck yeah.
