Title: An Unkind Breach
Recipient: muirgen258
Author: yeomanrand and shinychimera
Verse: Sherlock BBC
Characters/Pairings: John/Mary, John/Sherlock, John/Sherlock/Mary
Rating: PG-13 for themes and swearing
Warnings: Angst, drug use, threat with a gun

Summary: The events in the train car (The Empty Hearse, 3x01) broke the last remnants of John's ability to trust Sherlock; he couldn't bear to work together anymore — not when he had Mary, who would never lie to him. Sherlock, convinced that John's forgiveness and friendship were unattainable, did not attend the wedding, and retreated into 221B with only the Work and old vices for company, leaving John to the wife he deserved.

A remixed mashup of His Last Vow (3x03) and The Lying Detective (4x02), in which everyone's secrets and lies and unhappiness and anger are forced into a high-stakes confrontation.
