“it was worth the wound”

just a person who’s “mildly” obsessed with Sherlock, queer theory, writing fan fiction + the love between the detective + his doctor

Is Sherlock Watson good enough for you?

I just realized that in this godforsaken scene:

When Sherlock says “I think it could work”

He’s saying ”I think the name Sherlock Watson could work”

And then John, still laughing, realizes what he just heard and does a sort of puzzled look back up at Sherlock:

And Sherlock just:

And in conclusion, we’re not exactly looking at an aborted declaration of love.

Why I ship Johnlock #11

“‘You know,’ I answered with some emotion, for I had never seen so much of Holmes’s heart before, ‘that it is my greatest joy and privilege to help you.’“ - The adventure of the devil’s foot, Arthur Conan Doyle

It was worth a wound; it was worth many wounds; to know the depth of loyalty and love which lay behind that cold mask. - Watson

LOOK

you don’t need to study literature (although this is what I do) to see that these two men are in L O V E

BONUS: this is what Sir Arthur Conan Doyle says himself

just a few of many, feel free to add more

That time Watson was gonna call the cops unless Holmes shared his adventure with him

forget subtext, here comes: text

sherlock flirts with john, winks at him.  john asks if he’s single, is happy that he is.  sherlock is flattered to be asked out but declines

sherlock asks john out on a date.  sherlock crashes his date.

sherlock and john fight like a couple.  mrs hudson points this out.  sally tells john to not hang around sherlock but concedes that he probably won’t heed her advice because ‘opposites attract’.  moriarty says that sherlock does have a heart, he kidnaps john the person he knows sherlock cares about.  john offers to die to save sherlock.

john’s girlfriend dumps him because she’s jealous of sherlock.  she says john is sherlock’s boyfriend, john does not deny this.  irene tells john he and sherlock are a couple, john smiles and does not deny this.

john acts like sherlock’s wife in front of the press.  the newspapers call john gay in the context of being sherlock’s constant companion.  moriarty talks about people that sherlock loves.  sherlock immediately says only one name: john.  

sherlock says that he will be reunited with john by jumping out of a cake like a stripper at a bachelor party.  sherlock thinks that without him john has no life and expects him to still be living at their old flat.  by the end of the episode john meets the press with sherlock acting like his doting spouse just like at the beginning of TRF

sherlock drops everything to write his best man speech and plan john’s wedding.  sherlock makes a very long speech about how wonderful john is and talks about all the great times they’ve had together.  sherlock says john is obsessed with him and that his blog is romantic.  john spontaneously gets up during the speech to hug sherlock, everyone claps like they’re the couple who just got married.  sherlock’s very prominent role in john’s wedding continues as sherlock plays the violin for john and mary’s first dance.  sherlock writes a special waltz for them to dance to.  sherlock teaches john how to waltz. 

 sherlock relapses into hard drug use after john’s wedding and subsequent absence from his life.  john dreams about sherlock coming to take him away.  john wakes up and answers his door hoping that sherlock is coming to see him.  mary is angry that john thinks sherlock is so important that everybody (kate) must know who he is.  mary is angry that john thinks it’s been a long time since he saw sherlock, it’s been only a month.  sherlock is dying until he remembers that john is in danger and then wills his hear to start beating again.  sherlock kills magnussen to ensure john’s safety.

mary is jealous that john is always with sherlock so she decides to go to baker st as a client as it’s the only way she will get to see her husband.  nonetheless john soon leaves her again to go off with sherlock.  when sherlock tells john that mary is in danger john is not concerned and dismisses the issue.  john attempts to have a romantic conversation with mary, sherlock inserts himself into it as if he were john’s love interest.  

[moriarty]

sherlock steals an ashtray at buckingham palace just to make john laugh. john drinks coffee the way he dislikes because sherlock made it for him. sherlock is mr punchline but says nothing when mrs hudson asks if they’ll need two bedrooms, when angelo implies they’re on a date, when mrs hudson says he and john have had a domestic, when irene texts him constantly. mycroft says “i’m sorry, i didn’t know [you could fall for women/would fall for irene]” in asib, to which sherlock answers “don’t be absurd”. john is silent when irene says “well, i am [gay]. look at us both [in love with him]”. there’s a terrorist attack happening in london, but the first thing sherlock asks about when he comes back is john

Good afternoon

Favorite scenes of The Abominable Bride (8/?) - Waterfall part ¾ (part1, part 2)

[sannapersikka]

It seems not just a girl got impressed

[the-black-widow-has-sherlock-de]

I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS

[imprecisescience]

Yes, but the actual way this scene played out is far more damning—

Because Sherlock finishes deducing— and looks at John first. He then turns around and looks at Irene—Which just begs the question—-Sherlock, sweetie, who were you trying to impress in the first place? 

[johnlockedness]

John, always John.

Brainy is the new sexy.

John Hamish Watson!

I also love the annoyed glance after she kisses him.

[sherlock-pressure-point]

What do we say about coincidence?

[tisnotmydivison]

notice how this is LITERALLY every side character in the show (save for greg, but he’s a detective with the observation skills of a rock) 

[bosswaldcobblepot]

[unreconstructedfangirl]

Best scene in the season.

[skittles-rainbow-cat]

what if my otp became canon.... and had a happy ending... haha just kidding... unless???

[greenwitchsapphic]

I just need Martin Freeman and Benedict Cumberbatch to play opposite each other in a real version of “To A Stranger” and my life will be complete

[sherlockbbcgifs]

Friendly reminder that John trusts Sherlock so much that he blindly jumps in front of a bus just because Sherlock tells him to, and makes no effort to get out of the way.
