I need a Sherlock adaptation where Holmes actually manages dissuading Watson from his romantic endeavors with women. I want an adaptation where Watson softly agrees, the two living in quiet solidarity; that they should be dedicated only to their work and to each other than to anyone in the outside world. Sherlock may consider himself detached from “proper” romance but he can’t deny their partnership or their chemistry. And I just want an adaptation where, as a sort of silent love confession, John agrees to take on that way life with him.
I want them both to be married to “the work” and in a way, to each other, while leaving things ambiguous to the outside world. To quietly fall in love in the most unconventional, obscure way possible. For Watson to swear off any sort of romantic interaction for the sole purpose of being loyal to Sherlock, which is what I think our detective wants, canonically. And I want the gesture to cause Sherlock to fall in love… completely by accident, in a much more traditional sense of the word than I think either of them would have expected from him. I want for a love to blossom that exceeds all labels, and for it to catch them both off guard.
But more than anything, I just want them to be together.
im just a huge sucker for charismatic villains becoming sort of pseudo good guys and hanging out with the main characters just because a bigger, more serious threat emerges and i dont think it happens enough tbh. especially when they’re still kind of a dick, i just think its a fun trope
