Summary: Post-Reichenbach/Hiatus/Empty House fic. This is how I see episode 1 of season 3 playing out. What happens to Sherlock and John in the time between Sherlock's Fall and his return? Expect lots of angst. 

A/N: This is a work-in-progress.  Many thanks go out to my awesome betas/britpickers fawsley and susako.  fawsley gave me helpful hints on how to 'show, not tell'. susako went out of her way to visit the actual hospital I use here, so that the layout I describe is accurate. Thank you so much, ladies.

Thanks also to morganstuart and holyfant for their suggestions and cheerleading.
