This thing popped in my head falling asleep last night. Sherlock and John’s relationship, canon compliant, I think.<\/p>\n
Into the Light<\/a> –\u00a0John and Sherlock became lovers after the pool. It would take much longer for them to speak it aloud.<\/p>\n teaser below the cut<\/p>\n <\/p>\n They’d become lovers after the pool. The Yard let them go in the wee hours of the morning, and Sherlock had taken John home. They climbed up to the flat and Sherlock wordlessly stripped him to check for wounds. John had turned and touched his cheek and as their eyes met they could no longer deny this. They fell into each other\u2019s arms right there on the sofa, a nearly silent intercourse, parting as soon as it was done.<\/p>\n \u00a0But those times were rare. Their lovemaking only happened in the dark and small hours when even the bravest man\u2019s heart might fail. They never spoke as they sought comfort in each other\u2019s bodies. When it was over they went to their own rooms. And to the outside world they gave their excuses and lies: “I’m not gay.” “It’s the Work that’s important.”<\/p>\n \u00a0And then Sherlock had died.<\/p>\n
