    Summary

    Sherlock makes a noise against his mouth. It sounds like his heart is breaking. Familiar. Pained. Different on Sherlock, though. John’s own noise is a mere echo, emotions warring and constricting around the enormity of the situation.

    God, it’s like coming home. It’s Christmas and warm jumpers and earl grey tea and Jammy Dodgers and the first fire of the year. It’s sinking into a hot bath after a long day; it’s snuggling close to a warm body on a cold night; it’s folding into his favorite armchair with a good book and two fingers of old whiskey. It’s Sherlock, and John reels as he realizes he hasn’t lived these past three years.
