I love this. I hope that John at least knew how much Sherlock cared for him. I have two favorite lines. One is:

"he thinks conductor of light and knows he was wrong, because John Watson has a fire entirely his own"

because yes, he is not just there to reflect or bask in Sherlock's glory.

and

"you can turn hourglasses over, start again, and the same old sand will run a new course. Grains, infinitesimal and beautiful, will shift together."

That's such a wonderful image. Bravo.

Yay, a comment! :D I'm glad you liked it x) Yes, I think John understood Sherlock much better than anyone else :)

I agree! I think John is an incredible man. Braver and stronger than Sherlock, in some ways :3

Again, thank you ♥

Yay! It started out a little cruder, but I didn't like it and it felt all wrong, so I made it softer, if that's the word. Thanks for commenting :D ♥

That was both beautiful and sad. Adore the picture you painted and oh Sherlock ;-; At least it ended with hope.
Thanks for sharing~

The hopeful ending almost wrote itself - I thought the story stopped with 'an empty room'! But no, Sherlock insisted. I'm confident he and John will always find their way home, anyway ;3

I'm so glad you liked it, anyway :) Thanks! :D :D

Bittersweet and gorgeous. I Love it - I'm a sucker for hopeful endings!

[theshockblanket]

Bittersweet is exactly what I was going for, so thank you x) And yes, me too...it wasn't planned but then I got to the 'end' and Sherlock was all, "Er, I think not." Glad you liked it. Your icon is awesome, by the way! I love that collection :D

Beautiful. But in the light of this those years must have been so much harder to survive.

Do you mean for Sherlock or John or both? I agree with all anyway :3 Yeah, I really hope we see a bit more of the angst on Sherlock's side before the reunion. It must be even harder for him. Thanks for your comment x)
