Imagine how many emails. Imagine how many rude passersby.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>I have a feeling that Hudders took the brunt of the letters because John probably didn\u2019t stay at 221b for very long after Sherlock\u2019s death. The flat practically represents Sherlock, just look at the contents of it, it has Sherlock written all over it. \ud83d\ude41\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Oh God Hudders getting rid of the letters quickly to get them out of John\u2019s sight\u2013 and then eventually she realizes John isn\u2019t coming by, isn\u2019t calling, isn\u2019t ever in danger of seeing them.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Idk, would Hudders have opened the letters to even realize what they were? Or would she have saved them all in a little pile thinking maybe they could potentially be fan mail, letters supporting Sherlock, supporting John, saying they were heartbroken on his behalf? So she saves them all up to give to John the next time he comes by, only there is no next time, and the pile just keeps getting bigger, but she keeps saving them anyway because someday, someday John is going to come by, and she wants to give him all these letters people have sent to show how much they loved Sherlock. And then that day comes that he finally does stop by, he tells her that he\u2019s moving on, that he\u2019s getting married, and she decides then and there not to give them to him after all. If he\u2019s finally moving on, he doesn\u2019t need to be reminded of everything he lost. So she goes back downstairs and starts opening them up herself instead, but as she reads, it\u2019s all hate and ridicule and vitriol people have spewed about Sherlock\u2019s fall from grace\u2013she\u2019s read John\u2019s blog so she knows that people have said terrible things about Sherlock, but actually witnessing it like this, she finally understands why John had to move out, understands why he couldn\u2019t bring himself back here after all this time, constantly faced with the war between what he felt for Sherlock and what everyone else must have been screaming at him, about how he was duped, completely taken in by a heartless madman. But Mrs. Hudson knows Sherlock wasn\u2019t that, and she knows that John, in spite of it all, knows that, too. She doesn\u2019t need to read any more. She knows what they say now. She knows that likely every single one of them is the same message, this little pile of hate she\u2019s been storing away these last two years. But there\u2019s no room for hate here, not in the home where the genius detective and his loyal blogger had lived and loved, where she had looked after them as if they were her own sons, where they had shown repeatedly how much they cared about people by saving them over and over again. The world may not see it that way, but she certainly does. Sherlock Holmes was a great man, and she\u2019s not going to let anyone say otherwise. She takes pleasure in throwing every last letter into the fire, watching the paper curl and blacken, the words consumed by a power stronger than their hatred.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>wow guys<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>vanetti: hudders-and-hiddles: cakepopsforeveryone: twocandles: 57circlesofhell: While Sherlock was \u201cdead,\u201d imagine how many hateful letters calling sherlock a fraud John must have received at 221b for the time he was still there.
