John's depressed. Sherlock's bewildered. Molly's stressed and Mrs Hudson is none the wiser. When Rosie becomes sick and someone close announces life-changing news, Sherlock finds himself wanting to bond with the child and... save all that are necessary to him.

Janson isn't prepared to give up hope, even though they are running in circles searching for a Cure. They need a test subject whose brain patterns they are familiar with to test the Cure prototypes on, so that they can improve and make the necessary changes. And his eyes alight on Newt.

When Sherlock, John, Donovan and Anderson find themselves locked in a small confined room, Sherlock's severe claustrophobia is exposed, revealing more about the detective than the three ever could have expected. Family secrets, Hurt/Comfort and hopefully major Angst. Warning - child abuse references; I teared up while writing it. Now Complete.

Before the boy who lived, there was another story. One of a monster inside of a man. One of a hero inside of a child. One of a traitor inside of a friend. And one of an angel inside of a demon. COMPLETED.
