JW: Please let me hug you, let me hold your head on my lap and stroke your gorgeous curls, let me love you, Sherlock Holmes. SH: Oh shit oh shit oh shit, he’s watching. Don’t make a mistake omg omg omg keep cool. He’s so beautiful standing there like that it makes me want to play forever, never stop just so he would never leave.
This is the outfit John wears in Sherlock’s mind palace. Just how beautiful are these two men in this scene?
Sherlock and John elevate Pining™️ into an art form
The idea of this video is to show the whole arc of Sherlock and John’s relationship chronologically only with eye contact – the initial curiosity and suprise, the growing attraction and happiness, the annoyance and the jealousy, the anger and the fear, the pining and the restraint, the pain and the love. I wanted to see if the progression of their relationship could be seen with absolutely no words, just from the way they look at each other. I think it is quite apparent, let me know what you think! In the end I needed 2 songs because they goddamn stare at each other too much.
Whatever you do don’t think about Lestrade spending two years kicking himself for having his faith shaken so easily. Don’t think about the first case where he needs help and doesn’t even realize until after he’s sent the text that he won’t get a response anymore. Dont think about how he probably only saw John once in those two years. Don’t think about him watching Anderson descend into guilt-racked madness and lose everything, and wanting to both throttle him for causing this and comfort him because he’s damn close to that same edge. And don’t think about the moment Lestrade found out that by jumping Sherlock saved his life, too. Just don’t think about Lestrade in those two years.
