How To Save A Life

AN Hello! New story here. This fic is actually based off of Exayevie's YouTube video Four People who Blame Themselves for Sherlock's Death (and one who doesn't), which i s amaxing by the way, you should check it out.


'WHERE DID I GO WRONG I LOST A FRIEND SOMEWHERE ALONG IN THE BITTERNESS AND I WOULD'VE STAYED UP WITH YOU ALL NIGHT HAD I KNOWN HOW TO SAVE A LIFE'

'WHERE DID I GO WRONG…'

Mycroft Holmes

Why did I give Moriarty that information? I shouldn't have done that. And now he's dead. Sherlock's dead, and it's all my fault. I'm his older brother; I was supposed to protect him! But all I did was give the one person who wanted him dead, and who knew just how to drive him over the edge, everything he needed to finish him off. I don't blame Doctor Watson for hating me as much as he does. I deserve it. I will always be here for him, should he ever need me, though. It's the least I could do for Sherlock.

'…I LOST A FRIEND SOMEWHERE ALONG IN THE BITTERNESS…'

Gregory Lestrade

Bloody Donovan. Bloody Anderson. It's my fault. I shouldn't have let them get to me. I've known Sherlock for long enough to have known that he wasn't lying. I've seen him stumped before, not knowing where to go with a case. He was brilliant before all this Moriarty business came up. I should have known. I should have known he had nothing to do with any of the crimes for God's sake! Not even a week after The Fall I saw them smirking. The bloody wankers were smirking! They were talking and I heard Donovan say, "I knew it. His little show was falling apart and he just couldn't stand it. He couldn't stand it and he killed himself, the selfish freak." I had never wanted to hit a woman more in my life. None of this would've ever happened if I hadn't listened to her. I should've stood by him, no matter what . I'm sorry Sherlock.

'…AND I WOULD'VE STAYED UP WITH YOU ALL NIGHT…'

John Watson

I'm sorry Sherlock. I was your best friend, one of your only friends. I don't believe you, though. You liar, I don't believe you. But why would you lie to me? You weren't a fake, no matter what you or anyone else says. I've seen real traitors at war, spies for the other side. They show no remorse when they're finally caught. They're not begging for forgiveness before they die, they're begging for their lives. You were committing suicide; you had no need to be begging for your life. You were begging for forgiveness. I knew Moriarty had an advantage over you. I should have never left your side, never. I should've stayed with you.

'…HAD I KNOWN HOW TO SAVE A LIFE'

Molly Hooper

Was that really necessary? John's suffering, and Greg can't stop blaming himself. Mycroft was so lost at your funeral, I've never seen him so…disturbed. There's no other way to describe him. I'll help you with anything you need. Of course I will, you know I will. But if there's any other way to protect them, wouldn't that be better? More people cared about you than you realized, Sherlock. John is the worst. Not only was he your best friend, Sherlock, you were his too. Hunt down Moriarty's web as soon as you can. Stop this, all of this. Please.
