Kaleidoscope is complete

Summary:
While Sherlock’s recovering from being shot, John has to work out what the hell happened. Why did Mary turn up in his clinic in the first place? Why is Sherlock lying about her “surgical” shot? Why is Mycroft protecting Magnussen? For that matter, what's to be done about Magnussen?
Since John can’t trust any of them to tell him the truth, he’ll have to play them all against each other.
Kaleidoscope starts with a classic fic premise: that after Mary shot Sherlock, John moved out on her and back to 221B. Every shard in my kaleidoscope has featured in at least one post-HLV fic; this is just a silvercoated version, where every turn of the kaleidoscope shows a different picture. What does it do to love to keep secrets, out of distrust and unwitting condescension?
@annecumberbatch made this beautiful graphic for Kaleidoscope, which has lifted my spirits every time I look at it. Thank you, AnneC.
