The first few paragraphs of chapter one for the fanfiction I'm writing. I know it doesn't really have much a a plot yet but I wanted people's advice on whether you think I should continue with it. I know where I'm going with it and would appreciate any comments/constructive critisism. I hope to make it a sort of series as well if it's any good! Thank you if you do read it, I appreciate that it still needs a LOT of work but hopefully you enjoy it ;D

A loud and abrupt rap on the door disturbed the silence that captivated 221B. John was the first to wake, blinking helplessly like a new born child as he was snatched from his dream and pulled into reality. His back clicked into place after an awkward sleeping position had left it almost crippled. He stumbled across the room to the window and tore the curtains open, unintentionally disturbing the hangover he was experiencing from the previous night.

A second knock, this time sounding louder.

John threw a hand to his aching head, each pound on the door was worth ten to his recovering drunken mind. Sunlight was now pouring into the bedroom from the window, filling the room with a brilliant glow, revealing all the little dust particles that would normally have gone unnoticed. Outside, the sky was untouched by clouds, bright and blue like the eyes that now peered in through the letter box of their flat.

‘Hello?’

John could just about make out the voices coming from downstairs. God, why couldn’t Sherlock get up and see to them? Didn’t he know that John had been out all night with Sarah?

‘Hello? Anyone ther-‘ 

‘Zoe, behave!’

‘No one’s in. We might as well leave.’

A new voice suddenly integrated with the previous two.

‘Ah, gentlemen! And young Zoe too. Please, come in.’

John stopped. Was that – it couldn’t be – Sherlock was actually up?! He staggered over to the door to get a better listen. The voices had stopped in the hall. Everything had gone quiet.  Why weren’t they coming up? Unless – oh, they must have gone into Mrs Hudson’s for a bit. Perfect. Just enough time to give him a chance to get dressed. He sorted through the pile of clothes lying next to the bed; the shirt from last night, a pair of jeans from two weeks ago - at this stage, anything would do. He threw on a pair of trousers and the jumper he’d bought last week and ran a comb quickly through his hair. Finally he managed to open the door and make his way downstairs; stopping quickly in the kitchen to tend to his headache and dry throat.

I haven't posted in ages! Not that it matters really, I don't think I really have any regular readers. But I just noticed something today so I figured I'd see if anyone read it.

Did Sherlock kill Moriarty?

(ok, ok so it's not a practical theory but just hear me out)

So I was watching the Great Game last night and I suddenly realised something that I hadn't noticed before and it's this little bit of dialogue:

Sherlock: What if I was to shoot you now?
Moriarty: Then you could cherish the look of surprise on my face.

It's a bit hard to explain so I made this video just for you! ;D

So that's one reason why I think Sherlock might have killed Moriarty.

Another is the fact that when John arrives at St Bart's, Moriarty is dead and lying of the floor ( ok, so technically it was a roof but just go along with it) and because of this, John can't see him. If Moriarty was still alive, John would have seen him and realised that Sherlock's suicide wasn't genuine and that something was wrong.

So maybe Sherlock somehow planned Moriarty's death? I know it sounds stupid, but just think about it. Sherlock spent the whole night in the lab so maybe he made a drug (possibly remade the HOUND drug with a few adaptations), asked Molly to get him access to the roof (and yes, that's what I think he needed her for), and administered the drug to Moriarty when he grabbed him on the roof. Because maybe it was just me, but Moriarty seemed weird when he was saying 'You're me. Thank you. Bless you.' I don't know he just seemed like he could be drugged and maybe that influenced him to kill himself? Or maybe I'm just thinking way to deep into the episode....

But one of the main things that made me think about this was reading the original story of The Final Problem. Because in the book, Sherlock does actually kill Moriarty by throwing him off the waterfall.

So anyway, that's just my weird, messed up little theory! Even if you don't think it's real, I still hope you enjoyed reading it and maybe you even got a new theory from it! Ok, umm...bye! :D

A Few Little Points:

Because I am so tired at the moment, and bored as well, I decided I wanted to do another Sherlock post. But sadly I have lost my list of posts that I was gonna do so today I thoughs I would just write a few little random things about the Reichenbach Fall and how Sherlock faked his death.

1. When Lestrade comes to arrest Sherlock for the first time and fails to, Sherlock says to him 'This is a game Lestrade, and not one I'm willing to play.' But when Sherlock texts Moriarty telling him to go to St Bart's roof, he says in his text 'Come and play.' So maybe Sherlock has been playing the game the whole time and knew what Moriarty was up to the whole time....

2. Just a little thing I saw - in Kitty Riley's house, there is something on the wall behind her that says make believe. I originally thought it might be to do with the fairytale theme and so did someone on youtube as well as I saw the other day!

3. Moriarty's fake identity, Rich Brooke, is coinsidently an actor on a medical drama show. Ironically, one of the headings on the papers that Kitty had said 'New face on the medical ward.' Maybe Moriarty knew when he was creating the identity that he was going to die all along. Or maybe it was Moriarty's body that Molly confirmed as being Sherlock's.

4. On the roof, Moriarty says to Sherlock '...unless my people see you jump.' He doesn't actually say at any point that Sherlock has to actually die. It is only Sherlock who says anything about commiting suicide.

Well, those are just some random facts. Tell me what you think, and also tell me if you have worked anything out from this post or my previous ones! :D

The Key Code.

Ok, so in the Reichenbach Fall, Sherlock is lead to believe that Moriarty was able to breeak into 3 major buildings in London by using a few lines of computer keycode. During the conversation on the roof, Moriarty tells Sherlock that there is no computer key code though.

I found this a bit strange as there were a few things I noticed that didn't fit with there being no code.

1. On the roof, Sherlock says that he can still use the code to change the records to kill Rich Brook and bring back Jim Moriarty. I thought this must have meant that Moriarty used the code in the first place to hack into the records and create a false identity. But if there was no key code, how did he do it?

2. When John visits Mycroft for the second time, Mycroft reveals that he could get Moriarty to talk about the key code if he offered him Sherlock's life story. But if there was no code, what did Moriarty tell Mycroft about? Surely if Moriarty had made up a code, Mycroft would have tried it and realised that it was fake. But if Moriarty had told Mycroft the truth and said that there wasn't a code, why didn't Mycroft tell Sherlock?...Or did he.....?

3. When John and Sherlock are in the lab trying to work out what the code is, John asks Sherlock if Moriarty wrote anything down when he was in the flat. Sherlock said no but I thought he would have mentioned the IOU that Moriarty carved on the apple. That counts as writing something down doesn't it? And if you look at my previous post about the IOU, I said that I thought it meant 123. Maybe that is something to do with the code.....



There are more things I noticed about it but at the moment I can't remember what they were. Please comment and tell me what you think so far. :D

IOU

In the Reichenbach Fall, the words 'I owe you' are repeated a lot. This was one of the main things I noticed about the episode, and this is what my first proper post is gonna be about. So these are just somethings I worked out about it, see what you think!

1. The out of character thing that I thnk Sherlock did was when he sang the words 'I've got you.' Then I worked out - 'I' is the first letter of 'I've', 'O' is the second letter of 'Got', 'U' is the third letter of 'You'.

2. Me and my brother both noticed this. The first time we see 'IOU', its written on an apple. The apple might have something to do with gravity.
The second time we see 'IOU', its written as graffiti on the wall outside 221B. The graffiti also has black wings around it, possibly meaning flying?
The third time we see it, its spray painted on the window where Sherlock is looking out. This was the one that we couldn't quite work out. I thought it might have something to do with being able to see right through Sherlock? I'm not really sure but tell me what you think.

3. When Sherlock and John are in the lab trying to work out what the keycode is, John asks Sherlock whether Moriarty wrote down anything while he was in the flat. Sherlock says no but was I the only one sitting in front of the T.V shouting ''Yes he did! It was one the apple!'' Moriarty wrote IOU on the apple when he was in the flat and that was what I thought the keycode was. Yea its a bit odd to be a keycode, but when that assasin said 'Moriarty left a note in your flat', I thought he was talking about the apple!

So those are just some things I noticed about the IOU in Reichenbach. Let me know what you think! :)

Ok, so seeing as this is my first post, I'm just gonna talk about what my blog will be about.

In case you don't know what I mean by 'How did Sherlock fake his death?', I am talking about the BBC series 'Sherlock', based on the books by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. It's a fantastic series starring Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman as Sherlock and John and is set in the present day.

Warning: spoilers ahead!

In the final episode of series 2, The Reichenbach Fall, we see Sherlock jump off the roof of St Barts and fall to his death, only to reappear later on at his grave, looking on as John says goodbye.

It looks like we are going to have to wait until 2013 to see how Sherlock faked his death though, so in the meantime I will be keeping this blog to write about things I notice in the Reichenbach Fall. I would just post one one theory on how I think he survived and leave it a that, but there are so many things I've noticed and I just can't link them together. So, hopefully, people can read this blog and possibly work something out from it all lol!

Well, thats basically it for now. Might get round to posting the first thing tonight but if I don't, see you soon! :D
