Sherlock Holmes and John Watson.
A decade of the most beautiful, powerful and passionate ship that I’ve ever seen in my life. I adore their relationship, their loyalty towards each other and their unrelenting need for each other to be happy even if it’s not with each other. Thank you for showing me what true relationships are made of, and that soulmates do indeed, exist. Whether it’s 2020 or 2010, for them it will always be 1895.
A relationship, that has struggled through the brunt of the problems that could break anyone. They’ve survived, terrible loss, trauma, desperation, separation, longing, acceptance and fear of loss. But have still, stayed together as a unit even when they’re apart. A relationship that pushes the boundaries of what we consider as strong, passionate and loyal, where one’s hard edges are smoothened out by the gentleness of the other. Where one’s life is given purpose, and finally where they both have saved each other’s life countless times and in countless ways. The best and the wisest men I’ve ever known, who have taught me how to stay, who’ve taught me to be happy for someone you can’t have, even though it pains you deeply, to put them first, to plan their wedding even if it shatters you in the end. The relationship I’ve come to love so much.
Happy anniversary, my boys.
