since the obvious fear is Sherlock's literal death, and since we can infer that Moriarty is out to discredit Sherlock, taking in account Benedict's words 'may find it difficult to come back' I'm gonna guess that Sherlock's Fall is his inability to serve any longer as a consulting detective, which would certainly burn the heart out of him. In some ways, death would be kinder.

I really enjoy the idea of having an evil mastermind in the shadows behind many, if not all, of Sherlock's cases, so I don't want to trade that in. So I find myself rooting for nobody being killed or seriously put out of commission...
