I read this fic many years ago. John and Sherlock go on a case for Victor Trevor, who is living in a castle out in the countryside - maybe?? There's a discussion where John realises that Sherlock used to love Victor, but never told him so. He recommends Sherlock tell Victor that he did love him years ago. Sherlock feels bad and reminds John that he can't tell John 'i love you' because he doesn't believe in love like that anymore or something. John says that's alright but you did back then and it would be good for both of them for Sherlock to acknowledge it.
There's also something about Sherlock being able to see a light wherever John is, which I thought was like a metaphor until John fell in a hole and Sherlock knew something was wrong because the light in his mind went out?
