Summary
He’s nervous, Will can see it in his eyes, the quiver of his lips. The lips that are so close he can feel their breath on his own. He almost lets himself take, but then he realizes where he is, and who he is.
“Wait—“ Will stumbles back.
Mike pulls back like he’s just been shot, “What?”
“What are you—Were you about to kiss me?”
“Sorry. I’m sorry, I should’ve asked. I just—We’ve been dating for weeks and—“
“What?” Will almost shrieks out.
Or, Mike thinks they’re dating and Will is just trying to survive.

Summary
He takes a moment to stare at Nathan’s door, and he wonders just for a moment what Nathan is feeling, if he’s also feeling the burn in his knuckles, the burn of bruises on his body that are from something other than himself.

Summary
“And once again, you think you know what’s best for me.”
John rises from the chair, the anger and frustration and hurt overwhelming him, bursting out of every pore, and he doesn’t even know for sure that it’s Sherlock he’s angry at, really, but the only reason he tied himself to Mary in the first place is because the person he really loved left him behind, and the woman he married once sat in the shadows above a darkened swimming pool and aimed a sniper rifle at his heart and later shot his best friend in cold blood and cuckolded him and just gave birth to a child that wasn’t his and right now he just can’t do this, he just fucking can’t do this anymore.
***
John has to somehow rebuild his life in the wake of Mary's betrayal and Sherlock's deceptions.

Summary
Green.
The word green was used to convey a great many things. Illness. Envy. Inexperience.
Standing there amidst Janine's chattering bridesmaids, watching Sherlock furrow his brow and study fabric swatches, watching him smile and simper and flirt, John thought it a remarkably apt colour choice. Because he felt quite sick to his stomach, he feared the source of said sickness might very well be jealousy, and he had absolutely no idea at all what to do about it.
Or: Sherlock needs to fake a relationship for a case. He doesn't ask John.

Summary
It takes everything in John to keep his voice even and reassuring; he has to keep reminding himself that Sherlock’s an amateur at all of this. “Sherlock,” he says. “If the case necessitated it, I would snog you within an inch of your life in front of Jesus Christ himself. I would give you a handy so festive it would—Yeah, it would probably kill a caroler.”
*
Sherlock and John travel to Edinburgh to catch a homophobic serial killer in time for Christmas. They figure out how to use their words, more or less.
