   Summary

   To admit to the word of…love so ardently is vulnerable to a point he simply cannot risk. It's blazing and new and so dangerous.
   It's easier to ignore it. Safer. To shove it down and cover it with annoyance, irritation, guilt, lust, admiration or respect. Anything else, anything to dull the ache. Anything to protect himself from losing.
   He's protecting them both.

   Sherlock knows what happens when you love someone. Love is loss.

   -

   In which Sherlock Holmes loses his mind a bit, and John Watson has to intervene. Now with illustrations!
