he doesn’t even shower properly the first few weeks he just sits there with the water on and his phones next to the shower door so he hears faint violin music coming in. and for a minute he can believe it’s Sherlock outside the door. and then the track ends, and the water is saltier on his tongue than before

there's a terrible injustice in the form of trf being my least-watched episode and therefore i always forget how good she is!!! anyway, in honour of this being the month for @victorianpining's the stories in our veins, let's consider:
please note that all quotes should be read as encompassing of a broader theme and not solely the line of text proper.
btw if you were curious. watching trf with tst imprinted upon your brain absolutely does add something special to the event. 🫶

What if after the Reichenbach Fall we just have John silent for the outro except for his withheld sobs and it cuts?

With the wilt of the rose
I slept all alone
You still wouldn't go

After Sherlock's death, John literally can't answer phonecalls. He just can't.
He can't hear the phone ring without feel a cold sweat in his back, he can't watch the screen without feeling panic and intense anxiety. The scam phone calls just terrify him first, and then only the vibration is enough to send his cortisol levels through the roof.
He can't.
The first times, after Sherlock, after the fall, he could, but even though the voice on the other end isn't deep and rich, it's not masculine and doesn't say "that's what people do, isn't it? Leave a note", he can hear it over Mrs. Hudson's soft voice, Harry's gruff tone, and Greg's stressed one.
After a while, he just stops trying. Stop answering. Because sometimes it feels like the more the phone rings, the more seconds Sherlock has to keep breathing, keep living. Sherlock turned into his Schrödinger's cat; he is dead and alive as long as John don't answer.
And John can't answer anymore.
