John is the perfect spouse for Sherlock just by merit of how he acts toward Mycroft. Like, he has a baseline of respect even though Mycroft isn\u2019t pleasant. He\u2019s all \u201clol Mycroft sucks, what a loser\u201d with Sherlock. He\u2019s willing to work with Mycroft to protect Sherlock if need be. He has no qualms about going off on Mycroft when Mycroft deserves it, etc.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m reblogging my own reblog, because the more I think about this, the more I delight in that single line of dialogue. (Well, and OK, the \u201cdanger night\u201d line was equally weighty.)<\/p>\n

How FABULOUS that the creators let us know that John called Mycroft behind Sherlock\u2019s back. How wonderful that we can rightly imagine a world where John and Mycroft have come to some sort of uneasy collusion based on their mutual love of Sherlock. <\/p>\n

What was that crazy first time John called Mycroft, or Mycroft called John? Not for government business or case business but simply to check up on Sherlock\u2019s well-being? What kind of slightly creeped-out but also warm and secure feeling did each of them have, when they realized the other could be counted on, 100%, to do what is best for Sherlock? How, in the battle to Preserve the Greatness of Sherlock Holmes, they were the front line?<\/p>\n
