As much as Season 4 ripped out my heart, I've decided that Rachel's story needs a more...original finale.

Oh, don't worry: I'll try and rip your hearts out too, like the show's writers like to. I can promise you that. 

Disclaimer: Rachel and other characters that do not belong to the world of Sherlock Holmes belong to yours truly. This plot is mine as well. Known characters/locations/concepts of the world of Sherlock Holmes belong to their respected owners.

Before we go further, there're some things that you need to know:

*Since I am not going into Season 4 territory, the only thing that will be from Season 4 is Rosie. So this means (spoilers below):

-Mary's past doesn't catch up to her and she doesn't die

-Sherlock and Mycroft's sister does not make an appearance and screw with everyone's heads (though I had considered Eurus, but then I decided for my sanity and yours that I keep her out of this because she would require the plot to be a lot more clever, and I have only so much creativity in my brain...)

-Any of the events in the episodes of the season do not exist (though I did imagine how Rachel would have fit into this season)

And no, this is not a trick. I'm not using Season 4 in any way.
