There is this wonderful scene in ACD canon where Watson gets shot and Holmes finally lets his feelings show (“It was worth a wound – it was worth many wounds – to know the depth of loyalty and love which lay behind that cold mask.”). While I’m still holding out for a scene like that on the show, I’d also like a fic about it.
So I humbly ask for John getting shot during a case (a serious wound, not just a scratch as in canon) and Sherlock completely freaking out over it – going into shock, crouching next to John’s lifeless body, desperately shouting for help, hands covered with John’s blood …
I’d love for the Yarders to be present and to bear witness to Sherlock’s breakdown. They have always suspected that Sherlock is in love with John and now they have proof. Sally and Lestrade try to comfort Sherlock best they can. (I’d love this to be set after Series 3, but if Anderson is back on the force for your story, I’m completely okay with it. Just no Mary in this one, please.)
Apologies if something like this has been done before. Recs are also appreciated!
