[skyriderwednesday]

So according to the adjusted timeline for the Holmes, Watson, and Morstan Consulting Detective Agency (henceforth referred to as the Mary Lives AU), Mary and Watson decide to go on holiday after doing Hound of the Baskervilles (they've also just found out that she's pregnant).

Holmes is left unattended for a little over a week before he decides it would be a great idea to be deathly ill to catch a murderer.
