#sherlock is protecting john

Seeing fanart of a character being drawn as skinny when they're not supposed to be SKINNY is the most enraging thing ever, especially when said character was only skinny because of a bad period of their life and yes I am talking about my guy Watson who did not suffer during the war and come back to be REHABILLITATED and become HEALTHY by gaining weight he SHOULD NOT have lost just to be drawn looking extra skinny when, in fact, beefcake Watson is the best and healthiest and happiest version of Watson. Holmes and Mrs Hudson would have been going out of their way to make sure that this poor traumatised doctor was being fed, please don't dismiss their good work.

The Great War recently ended, which has left London in a swivel of downfall and success.

Every year when his mother hosts the Noble Legacy Gala, Sherlock wishes he could fall into a rabbit hole and never come up, dreading the pointless event.

That is until he sees Captain Watson attending the Gala, the most beautiful, dangerous, and interesting man he’s ever met.

SHERLOCK | Martin Freeman as John Watson

[tremendously-crazy]

Relationship envy except I envy the bond between iconic fictional characters Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson

[inevitably-johnlocked]

Hello. I'm on a reread of my favourites and I cannot find this fic in my folder that was fantastically written (it could even be two different ones I meshed in my head into one), so John was attacked, and Sherlock protected him by killing the attacker with a knife. He goes into shock, and John takes care of him. I distinctly remember John handing Sherlock a glass of tea, Sherlock finding it odd that he serves hot tea in a glass, but also comforting, and then asks for a sedative, and John says it's already in the tea. I think it was pre-slash. Thanks so much in advance for taking the time to read this. :)

Hey Nonny!

OH GOSH, I have NO idea which fic this is but it sounds really good! I'd love to read it myself!

Anyone have any hints on what this one could be?

Dude the Dancing Man part three has left me in a state. I don't know if I am proud of Sherlock or worried for him. Or Both. For those who haven't listened to it yet... Sherlock goes into sicko mode man.

Sherlock went full sicko mode because he forgot John was wearing a bullet proof vest and thought he was dying and the Abe had Shot him.

Sherlock without hesitation is like, I'm going to k*ll you because you hurt my Best friend.

Starts choking a dying man cause he wants revenge.

John like hey I'm good man, he is definitely dying just lett him go. Sherlock listens and reluctantly lets him go but not before telling Abe the reality to personally upset him and hurt him.

He sings creepily as a Abe is dying because he wants him to understand the gravity of the situation and just how much Abe has ruined peoples lives by singing it to put it in a way Abe's delusional mind can understand.

I'm here for it, but scared.

Retirement Looks Good on You

by helloliriels

"So ... John and Sherlock, they retired!" Lestrade's face was lit up with pride.

Sally Donovan eyed him askance.

"Yeah! Can you believe it?! Only 37 and 45 and they're retiring!" he whistled, smiling softly, a twinge of jealousy in his voice as he nudged her. "Never thought I'd see the day!"

"Neither did I ..." she looked at her screen again in disbelief. "What did you say they were doing now ... ?"

Lestrade didn't seem to notice the true query in her voice.

"Beekeepers!" Lestrade took a swig of his coffee, "in Sussex or some such ..."

"Beekeepers ... ?" Sally's face had gone pale. The printout from NSY just kept growing ...

"The pair of 'em! Beekeeping he said! ... Must be nice. The soft buzzing. The pretty flowers. Pulling honey from all those little boxes they keep 'em in-" Lestrade was still blustering on ...

"FUCK!"

Sally Donovan's curse cut him short, and he flinched as she swivelled the screen around to show him what she was seeing ...

"How the hell ... ?"

"Holy mother of God ..."

Lestrade dropped his coffee. Someone had included footage on the latest report.

"Sir ... that ... doesn't look like retirement."

The show writers have more than once joked that Mycroft's dungeon-office was where he ordered executions, and this makes me think. . .

Myrcoft's occupation would involve ordering executions. And he is absolutely not a person who would find it easy by nature.

I think the young Mycroft who had just started working for the government was warmer and more vulnerable than the Mycroft we meet in ASIP (although he already had his "caring is not an advantage" philosophy by that time), but he really trained himself to become the ice man around the first time he ordered an execution. It was the only way to get things done and keep going.

Nevertheless, even though he apparently became such a remarkably cold, solid figure over time, he would always feel the weight of all his decisions deeply in his soul.

I just want to mention how obvious Dimmock is of a mirror to John.

I'm not even going to talk about how the two of them basically look like replicates of each other:

I'm also not going to talk about how Dimmock‘s attitude toward Sherlock had changed DRASTICALLY (from the annoyance of being bossed around to steadfast loyalty) by the end of the episode:

But rather there is one shot that was framed very interestingly where Sherlock is talking to Dimmock, but instead of focusing on the inspector, he was distinctly cut OUT of the frame, while John was placed directly in front of the camera, talking up half of the screen with the focus on the MIRROR reflection of Sherlock in the back talking to said inspector:

Could this shed another light on Dimmock‘s surprising reappearance in tst except for the apparent repetitive cases?

Absolutely no idea.

All screencaps taken from here.

Summary: Recently retired police officer, John Watson, stumbles upon an odd man named Sherlock Holmes when traveling by train on his way home. He concludes the detective is insane after having only one conversation with him, but can't help but be intrigued. Ignoring John's hesitance, Sherlock brings him along on an exciting case. Through this adventure, Sherlock doesn't bother to hide his palpable obsession with John while John tries to hide his growing feelings. What will happen when they both break, following their desires?

Omggg Sherlock and John flirting over the guy they apprehended in the blue carbuncle I'm loving this podcast so far!

[medhes]

Sherlock always indulges John.

Even when Sherlock has already solved the case of who killed Connie Prince, he takes a break from getting ahead of Moriarty to rush to a photography store so he can play his part assisting John and his mediocre deduction skills. He just likes having a friend to play with.

Johnlock Love Letters #2338

At Sherlock’s funeral, John finds a note in his suit pocket that changes everything.

[gregorovitch-adler]

Clock

John stifled a yawn with the back of his hand as he checked the time on the classroom clock. Half past twelve. Fifteen more minutes of this dreadful lecture till the afternoon break.

The topic going on in the class was not so hard, besides Year 13 meant you had to cover up most of the topics on your own, anyway. John could not bring himself to listen to the lecture today.

John looked around at the other students instead. To be honest, he was looking for one specific person in that room.

There he was. Sitting in the last row, but paying full attention - staring at the teacher like a hawk. John had been admiring this guy's looks - dense, black curls; sea-green eyes, and those sharp cheekbones - and his intelligence for quite some time.

The name was Sherlock Holmes.

John had not stopped thinking about that bloke ever since he'd guessed some other student's personal life correctly in an attempt to tell them off. Deduction, as he would rather call it.

He had been trying to get to know Sherlock in person and to talk to him properly - instead of just nodding in his direction as a greeting like he used to do, every morning.

John was not sure what he would even talk about. Sherlock seemed so closed off, heading straight to the library during the afternoon break every day. John did not want to make an arse of himself trying to talk to him.

He realised he was staring, so he looked away quickly and pretended to pay attention again.

After a few minutes, the bell rang, followed by the teacher muttering some words to the TA before leaving the class.

The class began to chatter, as everyone slowly made their way to leave.

Suddenly, someone across the room turned around to face Sherlock in the last row. "Hey, Holmes!"

Sherlock looked up from his book at that guy.

"Nobody gives a shit about your Tobacco ash list," he said, and his friends burst out laughing. "Seriously, quit blogging. Your website is embarrassing enough already." Another fit of laughter from his group.

John furrowed his brows and clenched his fist on his left side. Strange that he did not know much about Sherlock, but felt like standing up for him anyway.

"At least I don't have to juggle three girlfriends every single day."

A complete silence erupted among that friend group.

"What's he talking about?" asked a girl from the group to that arse. Probably one of the girlfriends.

He ignored her as he marched his way to the last row to approach Sherlock. "Say that again." The guy slammed his massive fists on the desk.

John turned around and went to that row too.

"I think he was loud and clear the first time," said John as he stood beside Sherlock, staring daggers at the other guy.

"Oh, so the fake genius has got himself a pet!" the bloke exclaimed and walked up close to John, practically towering over him.

John was waiting for one move from the side of that guy. Just one. This would all be over in a minute.

"I haven't," said Sherlock and walked close to the guy, invading his personal space. "Though I would think twice before doing anything I regret if I were you." His low voice had dropped even more to a dangerous tone. "Especially if I were sleeping with one of the teachers for a better score like you are, currently."

This made the guy back off. "You didn't - you can't possibly know that!"

"You didn't even bother changing your perfume," said Sherlock and brushed past that guy, his long legs taking him to the classroom door swiftly. He stopped short in the doorway and turned around to look at John with his eyebrows raised.

John quickly collected his things and left the room; ignoring the other guy and leaving him behind.

Sherlock and John walked out of the class, and John tried to suppress a smile.

"Where are we going?" John asked, trying to match Sherlock's pace.

"I am going to the library."

"I can join you."

"Why?"

"You can tell me about the Tobacco ash."

Sherlock stopped in the tracks to face John properly. John had slowed down as well.

Sherlock gave John an intense look as if trying to look into his soul.

John was physically unable to look away.

"In that case, I expect you to listen to every single thing I have to say. Try to react properly instead of just staring at me." The corner of his heart-shaped mouth quirked up.

John cleared his throat and nodded before looking away for a moment. "Let's go, shall we? We don't have much time."

"Come on, then," said Sherlock, and they began to walk again in the direction of the library.

Not sure why, but John felt as if his day had become at least a hundred times better.
