There's a lot of fics and prompts where Sherlock pines away for John, succumbs to depression or looks for consolation in an abusive boyfriend, and I love those, but now I'd like something different. Sherlock loves John deeply and knows he'll never stop loving him, but he accepts that John doesn't return his feelings and he doesn't wallow in self-pity. He doesn't look for a relationship with someone else but other than that he does everything he can to find a level of happiness and contentment in his life.
Just give me a Sherlock whose life isn't full of constant unhappiness and pining just because his love is unrequited.
Sherlock doesn't pine
