Now that Sherlock 3x01 has aired...

....The question is: Do I edit The Case of the Unfortunate Brother to better reflect canon?

Decisions decisions, I think I could do it with just a sentence or two, but then the story is AU anyway, so maybe I should just learn how to NOT be a stickler for canon even in my fusion 'verses. :P

Thoughts?

(for those wondering what I'm talking about, I would need to edit the story to reflect the fact that Sherlockrevealed to John that he was alive in public, not in private (as in ACD canon)- and I'd also probably have to explain whySherlock's parents knew, but Sherlock's younger brother didn't. In my original headcanon, Sherlock's parents were dead. So, instead of Merlin just being estranged from Sherlock and Mycroft, I'd have to have a line in there about him being estranged from EVERYONE for some reason.)

I'd leave it. It's an AU anyway, right? if so, leave it.

If not, you started it before you knew, so stick to your headcanon and make it AU anyway.

*GRIN* Just my twopence.

Yes, that'd probably be the sane thing to do. Since it also just occurred to me that Sherlock's return his the news VERY fast, but the whole set-up to my story is that he was able to keep it quiet for a little bit.

Thanks for adding your twopence! :)
