A lot of people pointed out that in HLV it wasn't likely that John would be far from Sherlock's side. Well, what if he wasn't?
John is lagging just far enough behind Sherlock to miss the reveal of who's in the room with Magnussen, but he sees a figure in black with a gun pointed at Sherlock. It's the cabbie all over again.
Without asking questions, John aims and shoots. He doesn't realize that he might have made a mistake until he sees Sherlock's horrified look.
He just shot his pregnant wife.
(Please don't have him kill Mary, but a close call even with the bulletproof vest would be great!)
Now everyone is at fault in some way and there's going to be ANGSTTTTT
The AU in which John is nearby and trigger-happy
