Whatever Remains
Summary: "When I've eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, no matter how mad it might seem, must be the truth." Post-Reichenbach, John uses Sherlock's method to make a decision, with surprising results.
Chapter 1: Eliminate the impossible
"When I've eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, no matter how mad it might seem, must be the truth." It was Sherlock's modus operandi. It had never really been John's. It made sense in theory, but he was still always a little skeptical of how one told the difference between a mad truth and an impossibility.
He continued staring at his computer screen.
Eliminate the impossible.
"Sherlock Holmes was not a fraud."
Eliminate the impossible.
"I can't just forget about him."
Eliminate the impossible.
His fingers hesitated over the keys. He had to set the record straight. Sherlock deserved that, at least. Write a blog post; comment on the news articles; take a stand.
He couldn't. Couldn't sit down and write about when Sherlock...when it happened. And people would tear his account apart anyway. He didn't really know what happened either. All he knew was that it wasn't caused by Sherlock being a fraud.
Eliminate the impossible.
He couldn't stand reading any more of what people were saying about Sherlock.
Whatever remains..
Maybe Sherlock was right after all. Only one possibility remained.
