Notes:

• For holyfant.
• Inspired by The Speed of Objects in Motion by holyfant

Created this cover for this week’s discussion at reading221b. But also because I love this work and want to worship at its altar.

John and Sherlock spends a lifetime crashing together and splintering apart, never able to escape each other’s gravity. It’s a perfect portrayal of an imperfect relationship about two people who can’t help but hurt each other yet also can’t live without each other.

Cover inspired by the quote which opens the fic:

“When objects large enough to generate their own gravity fields come into each other's influence spheres, they increase their destructive force as they hurtle towards each other, and they are lucky if they escape each other's gravity at all after the collision, surfaces damaged and cracked from the impact and black hole cores shuddering with new activity.”
