Additional Tags: Mentioned John Watson, Alternate Universe - Canon Divergence, let’s just say that I have taken a number of liberties with the canon, but also the show doesn’t even have internal consistency within the same episode so like, Dystopia, Grief/Mourning, In a sense, Unrequited Love, in a sense????, Wrong Watson Feelings, obsessed with the fact that that tag exists, Unhealthy Coping Mechanisms, Delusions, Suicide Attempt, poor holmes, Identity Issues, Androids Feeling Emotions, Internalized Android Discrimination, what a tag, Bittersweet Ending, this fic is just me going insane about the deeply upsetting implications of a children’s cartoon, title taken from “world.execute(me);” by Mili
