Amazing one-shot (as in “shot in the heart and left for dead”)

Oh. OH. OH MY GOD. It got me, all right, and I can’t catch my breath. BUT I did immediately subscribe to the writer.
“There was a time, and it was the best time of your life, when you were an open book for him, his eyes were always on you, as if you were the most beautiful of novels, the one you read and reread until the corners of the pages are worn and and the corners curl, and then you reread it again until you learn whole passages by heart, because it's too good to break away.”
This ficlet is so powerful, poignant, evocative I immediately read it again. ‘Beautiful’ seems to be much too little to say to say about this ficlet, but it is—also—beautiful. Thank you writer for sharing this to the Getting to Know You / Johnlock Ficlet collection. https://archiveofourown.org/collections/Johnlock_ficlets
I knew there were so many Johnlock writers out there I didn’t know, but I had no idea how many, and now I’m going to spend the rest of my life in Johnlock fic heaven.
