AN: Hey there, this is a new little series thing I'll be posting. It's letters that John and Sherlock write to each other during the years that Sherlock is 'dead.' It is purely friendship! It will probably end with a reunion thing at the end...I don't know..but I'll be going back and forth with who's writing the letters. Please reveiw! :)


Dear John,

Yesterday I died. Well you already knew that, but I'm not truly dead.

I had an idea of what Moriarty was planning to do.

I tried to find another option other than falling off the roof,

but those options quickly failed when Moriarty put a gun in his mouth and pulled the trigger.

So I had to 'die'. If I didn't you Mrs. Hudson and Lestrade would all have died.

There were three gunmen ready to kill you if they didn't see me fall.

So I did what I had to. I almost didn't when I talked to you on the phone.

The pain in your voice was almost too much,

but then I thought of you dead and I hardened myself and gathered my courage.

You know what happened next.

I'll leave my explanation for how I survived for another letter or for in person, if I'm lucky.

Until then I have a job to do. I have to take down Moriarty's web.

That's the only way I'll get to come back.

Unfortunately that means I have to have Mycroft's help but if it enables me to come back sooner than I'll deal with it.

I'm recovering from the fall. It didn't go quite as planned.

Don't worry it's nothing major, just a few scrapes, a broken rib and a twisted wrist.

Other than that I'm fine. I'll have to wait a few weeks for the injuries to heal and for everything to calm down.

I heard you were planning my funeral that you insisted on it actually.

Good, if I were to really die I'd want you to plan it. Mycroft would just screw it up.

I'll be there, at my funeral I mean. You won't see me but I'll be there in the background.

I'd never say this out loud but I miss you John, you are a good man and a loyal friend.

When everyone else believed Moriarty's lies you stayed by me and believed in me.

Even when I told you myself that I was a fake you refused to believe me.

You stayed loyal to the end and one day I'll thank you for it.

I will continue to write these letters, John. Just in case I don't make it back.

That way you'll know what really happened. So until next time,

Your friend,

Sherlock Holmes


So next is John. I already written...so I'll hopefully post it soon. If you have any idead or questions just send me a PM.
