Summary:
Now, as Rosie sat curled up against Sherlock’s side, John watched and wondered exactly how he had ended up here. Domesticity had never suited him before, not at any point in his life. His disastrous marriage had been proof of that. But somehow, here in the warmth and safety of 221B Baker Street, here with Sherlock Holmes reading medical jargon to his daughter, Sherlock’s bony feet nudging against his leg, John couldn’t imagine anyplace that would make him happier.
Rec: It all happened one night. One long, quiet, domestic, momentous night. In which Rosie gets sick (nothing serious) and John and Sherlock pine no more. Chock full of tenderness, affection, relief, comfort, and maybe one or two lumps in your throat. A perfect and natural relationship adjustment.
