It's not the writing that caught my eye but the simple idea that holds so much potential. The filler did well, no doubt there. Sherlock "hangs" between life and death, constantly reminded of how soon it might end, as well as the prospect to have more time. Like a vicious cycle, every "prolonging" of his lifespan leads to more insecureness. Angsty, in a way, fluffy, in another. The author takes the reader by their hand and makes them hang between those two options, just like Sherlock.
