In the days after, John sits.
He does not eat.
He does not drink.
He does not eat.
He does not drink.
Outside the London bustle swells and ebbs. His ears hear, but do not listen.
Before him rests the empty chair.

Part of a Series.
I read the other story. Nice but this one's better by far.
The usual Post-Reichenbach fanon. John grieves, finds Mary, loves Mary, Sherlock returns, Mary is discarded.
I liked that Mary told John "No". It shows some sort of backbone. I wish she'd have done it in canon, too. But meh, she's rather selfish, so no chance there.
