#LUKE AND JOE YOU OWN MY HEARTS I AM GOING INSANE
Text
My favourite thing about the Blackeyed Theatre Sherlock Holmes universe is that Watson is the clueless one. I know we typically say that Sherlock is the one who is emotionally unaware/stunted but not this time. Nope. This time, it's all John.
Like. Mary immediately cottoned on. She acknowledges shortly after their marriage that marrying Watson is like marrying Holmes as well because they come as a set. And she understands that. She even tells Watson that Sherlock needs him, just as much as he needs Sherlock. She just comes out and says it. She's realised it. She can tell. And more than that, she knows that John hasn't realised it.
And then, THREE YEARS LATER, Holmes, after having an argument with him about Moriarty and about trying to protect him and what have you, finally gets his head out of his ass and confesses. Straight up says he doesn’t exist without Watson.
And Watson still just. Does not comprehend.
