I think I just about managed to hold on for the ride. Very nicely done, very clever.

I particularly like this as a piece of Sherlockian-ness (that's a dreadful word to have come up with, sorry):
His very body was fragmenting, a terrifying thought, only because it meant he must be losing his mind. As he felt himself being reduced to the most sub-atomic particles or whatever those Quantum Physics fellows called it, Sherlock became aware with great clarity that he was actually falling through reality. He had no body to speak of, nothing physical to latch onto, only his prized intellect. However John had achieved this miracle, it hardly seemed to prove that life had meaning, but rather the opposite.

Glad the destination was worth the trip. :)

I somehow forgot this was an Inception crossover (I haven't seen the film) so it was a bit more surreal that it was even intended to be, I think, but I liked it. Sherlock's thoughts about his drug habit and recovery are perfect, and his willingness to trust John too.

To be honest, it only became an inception crossover when I realized I had no valid ending or explanation, so I essentially pulled that out of my you know what. You really have no need of having seen the movie to know what's going on. :) Thanks so much for reading and commenting.
