History hinges on little things. A proposal averted, a football game that someone was not meant to attend. When Anne and Gilbert begin their junior year, a mishap of Blythe/Shirley proportions threatens to undo everything that the two of them have worked for. The only way to get out of the resulting mess is the same way they got into it- together.

Season One/Two AU: Moriarty's bomb does go off at the pool, and Sherlock and John wake up to find themselves in 1983, where a nineteen-year-old junior police officer named Greg Lestrade needs a bit of help with a murder case.

This is a short story based on what it would have taken to get Shore of Dreams to not happen- an AU from my Au that gets it all back to Canon while Gilbert has typhoid! A little "What If" that tickled me greatly.
