Summary: Sequel to 'Cracks in the In-Between Places'. A Swiss holiday seems to be the perfect way for the Holmeses and the Watsons to recover from their recent troubles and deepen their attachments to each other, but when Tristram's mother and the bogeyman both turn up, loyalties are put to the ultimate test.
Disclaimer: This is a transformative fanwork inspired by the BBC television series Sherlock, which was created by Mark Gatiss and Steven Moffat.
Notes: This is the sequel to my fic, Cracks in the In-Between Places, which is in turn an AU set in the universe of Getting Better by nox_candida. You will need to read both of those in order to understand what is going on. This is not a direct sequel of Getting Better, and I have ignored the other fics in that series.

Notes: This is the sequel to my fic, Cracks in the In-Between Places, which is in turn an AU set in the universe of Getting Better by nox_candida. You will need to read both of those in order to understand what is going on. I'm providing a synopsis below for the bare facts, but it's better if you have time to read the fics themselves. This is not a direct sequel of Getting Better, and I have ignored the other fics in that series. Characters are used with permission.
