I can't quite seem to catch up. I'm writing the first Interlude and trying to plan a trip for my birthday in a month and I have to clean the house, and things are just a mess right now.

Don't be fussed. My stories and I aren't going anywhere.

I will add, though, that I have already established (if only in my head) that messenger birds will be key within Pirate!Sherlock's 'verse. The birds, of course, are Mycroft's. Communication is key.
