Summary
First off, this work is gifted to Tammany. Her story, "I Shall Arise and Go Now," with its wonderful meta-analysis notes, confirmed for me that I'm not crazy in feeling that we have all of the elements by the end of Season 3 of Sherlock for a perfectly ACD canon-compliant (or, at least, canon-respectful) end to the series over a decade from now.
So, this is a quiet story. A little bit of a meditation. A chance to stop and regroup at the midpoint of life before going on to new adventures. It's not for everybody, but for those who like to think about such things, it's one possible hint at where our characters might be some 10-12 years from now, when ACD canon suggests that John will be entering his second marriage and a renewed focus on medicine, while Sherlock will be pursuing the life of a hermit near Sussex Downs.

Summary
Sherlock stretched his arms above his head, fingers just brushing the wrought iron headboard. He turned his head slightly and looked at Janine, her long dark hair, now flecked with silver to match his own, spilling over her bare shoulder as she sighed in sleep. Usually it was he who fell asleep first after they came together in the night, Janine invariably teasing him over breakfast the next day about the great Sherlock Holmes being a typical man in at least one way.
Sherlock had never been good at “afters.”
Part two of "Setting Sail."
