Summary: AU set in the universe of nox_candida's Getting Better. John and Sherlock work together to flush out Mary's killers, and Tristram has to come to terms with what his father's new friend means for him. No series 3 spoilers (or series 1 or 2, for that matter).
Disclaimer: This is a transformative fanwork inspired by the BBC television series Sherlock, which was created by Mark Gatiss and Steven Moffat. The characters of Tristram Holmes and Emily Watson were created by nox_candida and are used with permission. This fic also contains some spoilers for the Harry Potter book series, written by JK Rowling.
Notes: Special thanks to thissalsify and ladyprydian for medi-picking the relevant scenes. In places where I had to choose between medical accuracy and story dramatics, the story won out, so the blame for any inaccuracies rests entirely on my head. Basically, don't take anything in this fic as an example for proper medical treatment, and don't try any of this at home. And finally, thanks once again to tryslora and all the participants at hd_writers word wars for helping me meet my self-imposed deadline for finishing this.
