Author's note: This is part of the Eating us Alive verse and will make more sense if you have read at least Eating us Alive and Eating us Alive, again, first.. The raw first draft of this story was written around the time I finished posting Eating us Alive, again. At that time, its sole purpouse was to entertain a friend. It was never my intention to create actual plot and make it public, but with the help and inspiration of [livejournal.com profile] willowmeg that happened anyway. I’m so grateful for the support throughout this, thank you.

I apoligise in advance for the severe hand waving I’ve occasionally done when it comes to medicine and to criminal law.

Summary: A crime scene involving a dead anorexic woman hits close to home for John and Sherlock, leading John to discover a disturbing pattern and Sherlock to face his eating disorder in new light.
