Summary: Sherlock and John get given a case from Henry Knight, who believes his father was killed years prior by a hound in the moors.

Warnings: Non-consensual drug use
Characters: Sherlock Holmes, John Watson, Amy Pond, Henry Knight, Greg Lestrade, Mycroft Holmes
Pairings: Sherlock Holmes/Amy Pond, background John Watson/Lorna Bucket
When I Started: October 9th, 2013
How I Lost My Shit: Okay. So despite the fact pretty much every fic I have submitted to WIPBB in the last few years is Sherlock based, I have a love/hate relationship with the show (for example, I still haven’t seen series 4 yet). This fic is the result of one of my least favorite episodes being requested over and over for a rewrite, and me managing to get through the episode once over a span of two days and then noping out after chapter 1.
How I Finished My Shit: Six years and a couple of failed attempts later, I decided eff it, I was just going to ignore the stuff I didn’t like, change things around, MAKE FRANKLAND SURVIVE and just let the chips fall where they may. I think it’s faithful to the episode to a point, but I like my version a bit more. And before anyone asks, I hated the lab scenes so I cut out the trip to Baskerville for that reason, which was what had been stopping me from forward progress until last week. Also, the amazing art by twisted_slinky was a huge inspiration, so I am so grateful for that.
