INFORMATION

I. This story begins during Series 1 of Sherlock and continues throughout the entire show.

II. Claire is 26-years-old at the beginning of the story. Her birthday is June 13th, 1984.

III. Claire's personality is inspired by Christy Altomare (her faceclaim), Katherine Steele (she's a YouTuber who does a lot of theater-related videos), Kara Lindsay, Sierra Boggess, and Kerry Butler.

IV. Claire is very sweet and innocent. For some reason, I just love idealist/pessimist pairings.

V. Claire is the last person that Sherlock speaks to before he "dies."

VI. Mary takes the bullet for Claire in this version, which sends Claire into a downward spiral of guilt and she's the one who's screwed up in "The Lying Detective." It also causes a rift between her and John.

VII. The situation with Eurus is the same, but there won't be that Sherlolly scene. It has to be reworked to be Clairelock.

VIII. Sherlock and Claire begin a secret relationship at the end of "The Empty Hearse," but Claire's fears about their differences lead to her breaking it off in "The Sign of Three." They end up reuniting in "His Last Vow."

IX. If we don't get Series 5, you can continue the story with a series of oneshots about Sherlock, Claire, and their daughter, Natalie Joanne.

X. You have the option to create another OC to pair with Molly because I just love her so much.
