"I can't go on living this way

And I can't go back the way I came.

Shamed of this fear that I will never find

A way to heal my soul,

And I will wander 'til the end of time

Half a life without you.

My heart is broken

Sweet sleep, my dark angel...

I denied it all so long, oh so long-

Say goodbye, goodbye..."

-My Heart is Broken

I’ve been reading a post-Reichenbach fic written during that hiatus, and it’s just giving me every single Feel. That was the best time in our fandom; everything was possible. Reading another of our authors’ tales of Sherlock’s Return always makes me feel, to quote Douglas Coupland, “melanalgia” for the way I felt back then, about Sherlock, johnlock, fandom, and my own creative impulse.

(Plus, the fic’s chockablock with hot smexin’)

No but not only did John have to be the one to watch Sherlock’s fall, horrified, broken-hearted, weak-kneed. . .widowed. . .but when some kind-faced nurse sat him on the curb with his head between his knees and asked him if there was anyone They should call, it hit him he’d have to tell Greg. That their Sherlock was gone.

I just looked at a gif of Sherlock's blood-covered face at the beginning of THoB and realized how blatantly it foreshadows his bloodied face at the end of TRF and now I need to go lie in an dark room for a while.

Being in Sherlock hell: your flatmate accidentally drops her headphones over the side of her bed and yells at them, “You didn’t have to do that, there are better ways to go!” and as you get up to retrieve them for her you yell, “SHERLOCKKKKKK!” and you both start fake sobbing
