haha the worst is when John ponders if he is "Sherlock-sexual" ohhh no

p u k e

I always write John as gay or bisexual (only altering his level of openness about it) and Sherlock is nearly always homoromantic demisexual.  

Though in my very first johnlock fic I had this conversation:

“John, I am not your blushing bride. Though my sexual history is rather limited, I still have one. I have always been a curious mind willing to experiment and research. However, as you have no doubt observed, most people bore me immediately. I am aware when one of them finds me attractive, but it usually just makes encounters uncomfortable. Just because I choose not to respond to advances or feelings when I do not reciprocate them, does not mean I am unaware.” He let the last word hang between them before continuing. “Obviously some people have managed to maintain my interest over the years. Most of whom did not arouse me. So the small pool of possible sexual encounters have always been a primary factor in my limited experiences.”

“And these handful of arousing and interesting people, how were your experiences with them?”

“Varied. My first unreciprocated attraction was to a boy in my homeroom at primary. I have forgotten most details of his face but can remember clearly two things: his ridiculously long last name and beautiful blue eyes. First kiss was a fascinating tour guide I met in Rome while on a school trip. She was the first female to hold my attention and the last before Irene. Since then I have met only men who managed to interest me. It’s nothing against women as a whole. But no human being is immune to their upbringing and as things stand, society is still raising most women to lead dull lives.”

“So men are just a preference of circumstance?” John asked trying to hide his excited smile. His mind was lighting up, all too familiar with the feelings Sherlock had described. He hated the terms ‘gay’ or ‘straight’ because it was more complicated than that. Reducing people to whether or not they had dicks just seemed stupid when relationships involved so much beyond sex.

“Well as much as you prattle on about how not gay you are, I too find my sexuality is fluid and depends more on the individual than their sexual organs.”

“I understand,” John said almost at a whisper. He turned to stare out the window and calm the rising heat in his chest. Scared of what his face was revealing to the highly observant man next to him.

I agree, but why would she give them an empty flashdrive?

Symbolically, all Mary gave was empty information.  Rewatch HLV and listen to her.  She mostly just repeats Sherlock's lies (an echo) and offers up very little on her own.  According to Mary, the reason she shot Sherlock was 1. she's scared John would divorce her and 2. she might go to prison.  That's it.  Those are her excuses.

Plot wise, I think we have to wait for S4 to know.  But I think it might have been a temporary bluff just to make sure she would leave Baker Street alive and buy herself time.  She even asks John NOT to look at it while she is there.  Stalling.

Ugh. Even if that flashdrive was blank (hopefully it is) it infuriated me when John tossed it in the fireplace and said he didn't read it. I hope he was lying or it was blank, because as I saw that I made a small sad little bird sound just to represent my sadness and anger. It made me so angry. After all that work? I mean, if there was stuff on it, I get the "ignorance is bliss" thing - but still . . .

that's why i think it's blank. John is not a moron.  Sherlock is not an idiot.  There is no way in hell they had that thing for 6 MONTHS and didn't read it.  nope. none. no way.  it was blank and burned to destroy the evidence and call her bluff.  liar liar flash drive on fire.

Girl what was that ask. It made no sense to me nor do I see that in anything you post. Don't even worry about it.

aw thank you <3
