Unlike your first 2 comments, I am really enjoying the back story that gets us to the prologue. Very few RBF stories have Mycroft in the dark. You did this AND dealt into his feelings about being out of the loop. Also, I was happy to see Mike Samford. He is definitely underused in fic and I love seeing him included. You have taken a unique approach to Moran and I look forward to seeing his journey from where he is now to when he shoots John.
