OP

[(Anonymous)]

That's the one - I'm still a little embarrassed, but I've gotta protect myself from people thinking I mean Alone on the Water!

It was just... at that point in time, when Sherlock was at it's heyday and just plain fun and before I came to my senses and left that fandom waaaaaay behind, we all thought the pool at the end of S1 was going to explode, and that was going to be Reichenbach. That was just what was collectively accepted. The whole fandom mindset across the hiatus, and all fic therein, was built around that and them surviving that and, yeah. There was fic dealing with it or ignoring it as people are wont to dp. It was just the kind of 'ignoring canon' assumption that everyone did, and that jossed everything (yep, that's the word I was looking for) when S2 came out.

And when I read Sink Like A Stone, oh man, I don't know. I don't know why it hit me like that. I think it just came so out of the left field? Such an effortless,, well constructed twist, in this really hazy, dream-y sort of fic.

Try as I might, I've never lost my breath reading something quite like I did when I got to the line, "Sherlock, how many days has it been raining?"

I love that one! Even though by the time I read it, it had already been Jossed.

Hm. I don't recall anyone anywhere who thought the end of S1 was going to be Reichenbach. IDK how you can say it was 'collectively accepted'.

Now I'm going to track the fic tho, because I don't recall if I've read it or not.

DA but, maybe it wasn't total fandom consensus, but I get where OP is coming from - when people were looking for a jumping board for where to go with the cliffhanger it came up a LOT. Not always as Reichenbach, but you could safely say a lot of fanworks at the time involved or assumed a pool explosion.

That fic really was beautiful. I haven't been in the Sherlock fandom in a while, but it had some talented authors. Might still have. I lost interest when everyone started writing about season 3.
