Added DiffLines:

* AwesomenessByAnalysis: As always, the famous SherlockScan. Dumbledore even tells Snape that trying memory modification charms on Sherlock to maintain the Statue of Secrecy is pointless because he'll figure out the existence of magic (and what he forgot) anyway.


Added DiffLines:

* BroughtDownToNormal: [[spoiler:For a magic user, receiving a blood transfusion from a muggle completely cuts off their access to magic, effectively rendering them squibs.]]
* DeathByAdaptation: Harry and the Dursleys were among the many people that Moriarty took as hostages and blew up to taunt Sherlock. Harry was able to apparate out, but the Dursleys weren't so lucky.


Added DiffLines:

* GenderFlip: John is a woman using the name of [[MySiblingWillLiveThroughMe her dead twin brother]].
* HappilyAdopted: Harry adores his new family, especially John.


Added DiffLines:

* IOweYouMyLife: The basis of John and Harry's relationship, as they both cite the other person responsible for saving their lives during Moriarty's hostage bombings.


Added DiffLines:

* MySiblingWillLiveThroughMe: John's reason for basically living as a man despite being a woman is that she has a dead twin brother named John.


Added DiffLines:

* RefugeInAudacity: Snape is floored at Mycroft's audacity to ''kidnap Albus Dumbledore''. Meanwhile Dumbledore just rolled with it ''because'' it was so audacious.

* HappilyMarried: Sherlock and John, shockingly enough. In fact, when Sherlock announces his marriage to his family - a few years ''after'' the wedding mind you - his family is so shocked that everyone shows up for that years Christmas gathering, including an uncle who takes his death each year precisely to avoid it and a cousin who vanished at Tibet a few years prior.
