Summary: After Holmes returns there are recriminations. And then changes, subtle and insidious. There may even be a plot afoot. If only Holmes were more of a detective.

Review: After the events of the second movie, Holmes comes back for good. This story is set in some mixture of the Movie series and the original books, since it wasn't clear from the end of the movie if Holmes would be keeping his survival secret.

This is a lovely, if a bit steamy, ending to the Game of Shadows movie, that resolves Mary and Holmes' tense relationship. As well as Holmes' aparent worry that he was going to die alone. It's sweet and saucy and I love how brilliantly oblivious Holmes is to what Mary and Watson are getting him involved in. After all a sleepy aid can't be too scary. Or can it?

I think you mean Game of Shadows? Because as much fun as it is to think of Watson as The Tweediest Lannister and Holmes as Detective Baratheon, I'm not so sure that's quite what you were going for there.

Thank you so much! I did mean Game of Shadows. This is why I shouldn't write recs late at night.
