At John’s wedding Sholto asks about his therapist and John is like GREAT VERY HELPFUL GLOWING REVIEWS, John is obviously trying to convince Sholto to seek some kind of professional mental health treatment

So after John’s wedding Sholto finally does, because he almost let someone murder him at John Watson’s wedding

And after months and months of one-on-one Sholto finally joins a veteran’s support group, and that’s where he meets him, a man with quiet eyes and a prosthetic leg who insists on calling him Major out of respect

And they get to know each other and Sholto trusts him because he knows what it was like out there, and he doesn’t judge him for the bad days or the good days for that matter

And eventually Sholto works up the courage to invite him to dinner at his secluded country home and he comes and when he laughs his eyes crinkle and when it starts to get late and the fire starts to die Quiet Eyes admits that half the struggle of serving was not being able to serve openly, having to hide himself and the boyfriend back home who eventually left him because they had to keep it secret, and Sholto takes his hand and admits that there could’ve been something there, something with a captain he served with on base, but the captain was married now

And Quiet Eyes says sometimes the struggle isn’t having to lie about who you are in Afghanistan, sometimes the struggle is having to lie about who you are at home, and Sholto thinks about Sherlock Holmes and sitting there on his sofa in front of the fire he finally lets John go and leans over and kisses Quiet Eyes and doesn’t think about John while he does it at all

i’m never gonna stop loving john and sherlock. i’m never gonna stop loving my john and sherlock, our john and sherlock, two very real characters who are deeply in love with and invested in one another. we didn’t make that up. that’s been there all along. i’m going to continue to celebrate it, to read and write about it, to find every possible iteration of it that could ever exist, because it’s very real to me and will always be very real to me. they don’t get to tell me what i saw and what i felt and what i know.

tbh i’m a wee bit grateful that tfp was terrible because i now feel free to just forget huge swaths of the show’s apparent canon. morgue scene? i don’t know her. john cheating? i suddenly can’t read. molly still pining for sherlock? sorry i’ve gone deaf in that ear. redbeard was a boy instead of a dog? can’t hear you over the sound of sherlock saying “never mind toby you’re a good dog.” mary existing ever? not in any show i’ve ever seen. i feel like the scene at the start of tst was explicit permission for me to doctor the the footage and now i have done so and no one can stop me because it’s clear that the people who were writing these characters were really writing brand new characters and just slapping names on them and they were just by complete and entire coincidence the same names as the characters from the show bbc sherlock.

“Sometimes you get so close to someone, you end up on the other side of them.”

‘“You’re falling now. You’re swimming. This is not           harmless. You are not                     breathing.”

“Hello, darling. Sorry about that. Sorry about the bony elbows, sorry we lived here, sorry about the scene at the bottom of the stairwell and how I ruined everything by saying it out loud. Especially that, but I should have known. You see, I take the parts that I remember and stitch them back together to make a creature that will do what I say or love me back.”

“Please keep him safe. Let him lay his head on my chest and we will be like sailors, swimming in the sound of it, dashed to pieces.”

“..and the gentleness that comes, not from the absence of violence, but despite the abundance of it.”

“You just wanted to prove there was one safe place, just one safe place where you could love him. You have not found that place yet.”
