I need this because of reasons.

But I CAN’T FIND IT

Now I actually want Harry to become part of the show. When reading Performance in a Leading Role, she is the only person I could imagine as Harry.

OH WAIT, CBS is already doing that.

However, my point was not to complain about the new modern-day American Sherlock. If you haven’t read Alone on the Water or Performance in a Leading Role, I weep for you. 

WE LOVE YOU, LORI! On behalf of the fandom, I would like to thank you for making our lives better and more filled with fangirl/fanboy squeals, laughter, and lots of creys. Seriously. LOTS of creys. Your stories have inspired and entertained so many, resulting in tons of fan-art, writing and other creative endeavors. Very often I will think of one of my favorite lines from Sherlock and wonder, “what episode is that from, again?” Then I realize, it’s from one of your fics. They’re practically canon in my mind. Thank you for bestowing your marvelous gifts upon us! I can’t wait to read your other works. 

He can barely cope without a case. He will have gone (potentially) three years having to lay-low; no cases, probably no London, no John. In an instant, he had the three most important things in his life completely stripped away. I’m thinking he will be on very hard drugs, more addicted than ever, and he will probably on them almost constantly. Drugs were a bigger part of Sherlock’s character in the original canon and knowing the fanboyness of Moffat and Gatiss, they’re going to work it in even more. With the ACD canon, if his mind was not running at a million miles a minute, he was on cocaine. Cocaine or not, I think it will be something extreme— it’s not like he would have anybody around to stop him. Unless he is, for some reason, still seeing Mycroft regulary, he will not be able to control himself. That’s why Mrs. Hudson, John and Mycroft were always trying to help him quit his smoking habit, and it had been implied that it used to be something stronger than cigarettes. Although he has always been so logical, brilliant, and composed, addiction is his weakness. Like I said, I think he is going to be in a terrible state that takes him a long time to recover from, and it is going to be very hard on John who will have to (and want to) be the one to help him through it. If this does happen, I think it will be very sad. 

Food for thought.
