A/N: this part has been published on its own, as Interlude, as well as here, but the others haven't. Also, I wrote all of these at around the same time after I watched the movie.


Part 1

Interlude

.

They were on the boat to France. Strange, that the sky was so blue. As if there wasn't a care to be had in the world. Watson didn't yet feel the weight that made him silent. If he had anything to do with it, Watson wouldn't ever, not for as long as possible. He was still mad for him pushing Mary off the train (he didn't really think Holmes would throw her off and not have anyone to rescue her? Well, perhaps it was justified. He had done everything to stop his friend getting married.) He sighed. The sky was blue and it was unnaturally calm. He didn't like calm. Calm was something he could never have, it was a cruel joke now that as they fled across the channel to begin the battle the world was so at peace.

Watson tried to start a conversation, but he ignored it. He got off the bench and walked to the edge of the boat. He looked one more time at the handkerchief in his hand, then let it fall away into the water. It was the most he could do for Irene now.

He looked up at the sky. All ties were broken now. There was nothing to regret. The battle would soon begin.

More Important Note of Continuity: everything takes place during the movie, and is in order, but they may not all take place in the same universe. Some of them may be AU, some of them won't, and what takes place in one of the stories doesn't really make any difference in what takes place in another.

Edited Note of Continuity: Or, you can just read it like it's one big story and all belongs in the same universe because it actually might read a bit better that way...
