Summary: Written for the prompt:
The Sherlock John knows is just a normal guy. The real Sherlock Holmes had been feeding him information and telling him what to say all along. That way the real Sherlock doesn’t have to be in any real danger when trying to find Moriarty.
Why read it: Ahoy, followers!

According to not-a-cyper, this fic is “more depressing and upsetting than any character death fic or infidelity fic or apocalypse fic,” and I would have to agree. The entire concept, and it’s profound effect on John, is just so off-putting that I ended up staring at my screen in confused, angsty horror.
And by that I mean it’s a good fic, and you should go read it.
You guys… You guys...heart.. My.. Heart… AH.
