Line 1:

When the fic opens, Colonel Sebastian Moran has already [[Hero
The story is available as a published ebook.

Line 13:
* [[Berserk Button]]: Moran ''knows'' Holmes's is Watson and banks on this.
* [[Big Bad]]: Who needs ''Moriarty''? His [[The Dragon|second-in-command]] is more than enough!
* [[Birth
* [[Choke Holds]]: As part of Moran's [[Villainous Breakdown]] (see below), he starts to throttle Holmes.
* [[Cold-Blooded Torture]]: There's not even any real point to Holmes's torture, other than [[Avenging the Villain]] and ''possibly'' [[Break the Haughty]].
Line 20:
* [[Death Fic]]: Since Watson's death plays a very big part in this story... yeah, this is definitely a [[Death Fic]].
* [[Determinator]]: Lestrade and Mary.
* [[
* [[Evil Gloating]]: Holmes asks if Moran would like to continue this, trying to stall him. It doesn't work.
* [[Flashback Nightmare]]: Used several times for poor Holmes.
* [[The Heart]]: Mary, oh so much!
* [[Homage]]: Not only to the [[Canon]] but to the ''[[Deliver Us
* [[Inspector Lestrade]]: Inverted, actually, as he gets his chance to really shine as [[The Hero]].
* [[Like Brother and Sister]]: Lestrade and Mary.
** {{spoiler|And, gradually, Mary and Holmes - she just seems to have that effect on people.}}
* [[Locked in
* [[Love Hurts]]
* [[Manly Tears]]: It's not just Holmes, either - in fact, he once weeps because he sees ''[[Not So Stoic|Lestrade]]'' weeping.
Line 34:
* [[My God, What Have I Done?]]: Invoked by Holmes.
* [[Narrative Profanity Filter]]: Used on occasion, and once with ''Mary''!
{{quote|
* [[Not So Stoic]]: The author takes Holmes's infamous stoicism and hurls it out the window.
** Lestrade's emotions are fully realized, as well.
* [[Only Sane Man]]/[[Team Dad]]: Dear Lestrade.
* [[Rescue Arc]]: Ingeniously done through flashbacks.
* [[Revenge
* [[The Smurfette Principle]]: Very much in play here - however, with Mary Watson as an actual ''[[Action Girl]]'', it's worth it!
* [[Team Mom]]: The attitudes of the men around Mary make it pretty clear who's in charge, here!
Line 49:
* [[Victorian Britain]]: Averted, making it one of the few period-Sherlockian fics to do so. And the author averts it ''brilliantly''.
* [[What the Hell, Hero?]]: Mary delivers a downright cringe-worthy one to Holmes... ironically, berating him for even ''considering'' the ''exact'' same vanishing act he performed in the original stories.
* [[With a Friend
