guys, hear me out
In a modern adaptation at the start of reichenbach, Sherlock doesn't know if he can make it. He knows Moriarty has a plan and that it is one where he is destined to die, so obviously he texts John, warning him and asking him for help.
And what if John doesn't believe him? What if Sherlock has inadvertently "boy who cried wolf"-ed himself? What if John has gotten so used to every small whim of Sherlock's being "life or death" that all that text inspires in him is a small groan and an unwillingness to get off the sofa?
And what if Sherlock has gotten so used to John that he doesn't even bother to save himself, thinking an anxious John Watson is seconds from rounding the corner

Here are 3 platonic relationships I think fellow aces and aros may appreciate. These are not canonical aroace. (Actually all have other sexual partners) But! All are platonic relationships that are somewhere between best friends and romantic love, live together, and are the primary relationship of the story.
Joan and Sherlock, Elementary, Crime.
Abbie and Ichabod, Sleepy Hollow, Horror
Bellamy and Clarke, The 100, SciFi
(Spoiler warning, only one of these relationships ends well, doesn’t discount the rest of story, but if that matters to you you can look it up)

My favorite/comfort characters but it gets progressively worse part 2 (part 1 here):
Mike Wheeler from Stranger things: Super misunderstood. He needs people to hug him more. (Side note: Finn's so pretty like wtf)
Sherlock and John (BBC Sherlock): Idk what to say, I just love them so much.
Killian Jones (Hook) from OUAT: I mean, c'mon on, how can you not love him?
Regina Mills from OUAT: Second best character in the show. She deserves all the happiness in the world.
Rumpelstiltskin from OUAT: Best character in that show and no one can change my mind.

Ok ok, so while I was stuck on the couch, at some point I decided to finally watch Sherlock Holmes and the Masks of Death (Peter Cushing and John Mills).
There was so much I loved about it: Watson reminding Holmes to stop biting his nails, IRENE ADLER, the fight on the train, the pig hazmat suits...
But please, please, someone explain to me how we got from sweet-Holmes in the beginning (left) to can't-keep-his-hands-off-Watson's-neck-Holmes in the latter half (right)
Holmes, bra, please.... have some chill... 😂😭

Sherlock Holmes and the Red Demon: A Minnesota Mystery by Larry Millett #SherlockHolmes #Minnesota #BookReview #AudiobookReview
Did you know that the great #SherlockHolmes actually came to America to solve a mystery involving the railroad magnate #JamesJHill? I was happy to revisit this pastiche set in #Minnesota in 1894. #DrWatson #bookreview #railroads #greatfire #lumberyards
When a cunning villain sets out to destroy the Great Northern railway in America, Holmes comes face-to-face with all manner of frontier characters. He also becomes attentive to one woman’s (and suspect’s) charms. But charm gives way to terror when Holmes goes up against an arsonist called the Red Demon.
Sherlock Holmes and the Red Demon (Amazon US) (Amazon UK) (Audible) (AbeBooks) is the first…
