Just Had A Thought...

Just had a thought...

What if this…

ISN’T Sherlock reacting with GRIEF at someone’s death…but reacting with RELIEF because someone is ALIVE.  I think that someone is John.

What if John had to fake his death to save Sherlock, and this is the scene where Sherlock THINKS he is coming to see John’s body, but instead John reveals himself to be alive.  

But Sherlock is so high or sick that he thinks he is hallucinating and panics, and John slams him against the wall to snap him out of it.  

Just an idea…could still be a death.  But it seems possible that Sherlock’s lip tremble might be disbelief followed by relief.  

a list of people sherlock might love and why it’s his darkest secret that will ruin all his awesome platonic bro friendships

mycroft: obviously loving your brother is so fucked up it makes you an outcast and admitting this horrifying truth makes you susceptible to blackmail. and all your friends will hate u because how dare you love your family.

his parents: see: mycroft. local man claims to love his parents, all personal relationships immediately ruined, fucked up if true. i made him say it, declares our correspondent culverton smith

irene: listen. if irene were to make another appearance and it turned out sherlock loves her, it wouldn’t be a scandal, it would be the 2104820th time holmes ends up with irene adler; and like. put yourself in the shoes of a bully/blackmailer. your victim being an attractive straight man with a crush on an attractive woman who’s already tried to seduce him multiple times is …. not that great a basis for malevolent emotional manipulation. also, if sherlock and john are close platonic bros and sherlock is super happy and fond of mary, how the fuck would sherlock loving irene be the worst thing he could do to them? what

molly: yeah similar thing though? lovely woman who’s clearly into the protagonist, and the huge revelation is that the protagonist loves her? and platonic friends john and mary are clearly delighted for the happy couple? yea haha. very scandal. much demons beneath our roads

lestrade: ok let’s keep papa lestrade out of this. leave him alone

mrs hudson: unless sherlock has some sort of Christian Grey-esque red room of pain in the basement that he’s sharing with his landlady and hasn’t been paying rent for since 2012 i don’t really see how this is a probably scenario

mary: ok honestly this is interesting. sherlock being in love with the woman who’s manipulated him, lied to him and almost murdered him, who also happens to be his best friend’s wife. yeah, like. did sherlock watch this motivational speech about self-love i sent him last week? also has there ever been the slightest bit of evidence that sherlock loves mary? what the fuck where am i even going with this garbage

the baby: listen if sherlock pulls a jacob black and imprints on baby renesmee plot d. vice watson stephenie meyer is gonna sue the BBC. no seriously, how would uncle sherlock loving his beautiful godchild be the very worst thing he cOULD DO TO HIS VERY BEST FRIENDS use your common sense

john: DO I HAVE TO EXPLAIN OR????? DO I HAVE TO EXPLAIN HOW SHERLOCK THINKS HE’S GONNA LOSE EVERYTHING HE HOLDS DEAR BY REVEALING HIS DEEP AFFECTION FOR THE MAN HE’S BEEN DESPERATELY IN LOVE WITH FOR YEARS DO I HAVE TO EXPLAIN THIS OR

bottom line is: i’ve never been so sure. i have zero doubts. no doubts whatsoever. sherlock loves john. john loves sherlock. what a beautiful day

magnussen literally went and kidnapped one random person sherlock was seemingly close to, pretended to cook him medium rare, watched sherlock go fucking bananas about it and was like, whoa, lucky me, found the love interest

anyway remember that time a guy walked into the room and sherlock immediately assessed whether or not he was straight or gay and concluded he was gay based on popular underwear trends in the gay community
