So what I'm looking for is that John who's...confidant with women, but when not dating doesn't touch as much on a daily basis. Who maybe has not yet reached that flatmate comfort we see in series 2 where he and Sherlock are constantly in each other's space.

Or maybe the progression into that series 2 comfort? I don't know...kind of sad but satisfying, please. *vague hand waving*

There were casual slaps on the back, quick squeezes of shoulders and arms. Firm grips when equipment or wounds needed to be checked. Mates leaning against each other tiredly.
one big messy sprawl on his bedroom floor...thoughtlessly intimate
He sits next to Sherlock on the couch and feels the physical distance between them like a painful ache....He is worried that at some point, when Sherlock stands right in front of him and John is very tired, he will turn around and realise that John is seriously fighting the urge to just lean forward and rest his head against Sherlock's back. But he never does.John settling for picking someone up was just right (including his ( ... )

The childhood friends puppy pile might or might not have been take straight from my own experience. :-)
Re: Strongbow - I have to admit that I have a secret weakness for it but all my British friends always tease me mercilessly about it so I have learned how to pretend to have taste. ;-)
