An IOU you might have missed...
I don't know if anybody has seen this, but I'm watching TRF right now and I've just seen it, when Sherlock and John are fleeing from the police;
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dean - "I'm not happy about it. But I got to move on. So I'm gonna keep doing what we do...while I still can. And I'd like you to be there with me."
Sam - "I'm your brother, Dean, if you ever need to talk about anything with anybody, you got someone right here next to you."

Re: An IOU you might have missed...
Yes, Kitty, this is an interesting winged IOU (maybe referring to the "Magpie" theme and the seals on the envelopes).
Recently I made this pic from all the IOUs in TRF:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
John: "Have you spoken to Mycroft, Molly, uh, anyone?"
Mrs Hudson: "They don’t matter. You do."
I BELIEVE IN SERIES 5!

I feel quite stupid asking, but what is the Magpie theme and what's the connection to the IOUs and the seals? Somehow, I'm totally at a loss at the moment

Re: An IOU you might have missed...
Rossini's "Thieving Magpie" is played when Moriarty smashes the showcase in the Tower.
The red seals that are attached to the envelopes with the fairytale book and the breadcrumbs show images of magpies, too. And the IOU opposite 221 Baker Street is winged - a probable connection to a thieving magpie, Moriarty.

Ah, thank you so much for explaining! I managed to miss all of that, somehow

Re: An IOU you might have missed...
I haven't missed this winged I O U at all. In fact, I'm planning to have it as a tattoo for half a year now.

Re: An IOU you might have missed...
Well...you could count Moriarty saying it to Sherlock.

Re: An IOU you might have missed...
It's funny how there's those wings, all this would have been much easier if Sherlock had had wings!

That's the thing about fanfiction, it's always a self-portrait
People want to believe what is easy, rather than what is right.
