It’s canon. It has been for almost 130 years.
Hey guys! Do you know why there are exactly two Sherlock’s “I love you” in The Scene ™ ? You think it’s just to make Sherlock say the second “I love you” properly? No. Not only that.
In fact, many people forget [or don’t even know] about the “Sherlock Holmes”, the original play written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and William Gillette. In the very finale of that play there is a scene in which Holmes first tries to convince the main male character that his words and feelings towards her are false. And then, when she says that she perfectly sees his true nature, he confesses that he really loves her. Twice. )))
(ALICE gives a subdued breath of relief)
But it fell in with my plans notwithstanding. Now that you see me in my true light, Miss Faulkner, we have nothing left to say but good night – and good-bye—which you ought to be very glad to do. Believe me, I meant no harm to you—it was purely business—with me. For that you see I would sacrifice everything. Even my supposed—friendship for you—was a pretense—a sham—everything that you—
(She has slowly turned away to the front during his speech. She turns and looks him in the face.)
ALICE (quietly but distinctly): I don’t believe it.
(They look at one another.)
HOLMES (after a while): Why not?
ALICE: From the way you speak—from the way you—look —from all sorts of things!—(With a very slight smile.) You’re not the only one—who can tell things—from small details.
HOLMES (coming a step closer to her): Your faculty—of observation is—is somewhat remarkable, Miss Faulkner—and your deduction is quite correct! I suppose—indeed I know—that I love you. I love you. But I know as well what I am—and what you are –
(ALICE begins to draw nearer to him gradually, but with her face turned front.)
I know that no such person as I should ever dream of being a part of your sweet life! It would be a crime for me to think of such a thing! There is every reason why I should say good-bye and farewell! There is every reason—
(ALICE gently places her right hand on HOLMES’ breast, which stops him from continuing speech. He suddenly stops. After an instant he begins slowly to look down into her face. His left arm gradually steals about her. He presses her head close to him and the lights fade away with ALICE resting in HOLMES’ arms, her head on his breast.)
So guys, whatever the other shipers think about The Scene ™ , that feelings are perfectly true and this is canon.
It has been canon since 1889.
