Under the Lamppost
Summary: You and Sherlock have been secretly harbouring feelings for each other, but it takes a moment of vulnerability for you both to finally reveal the truth
Pairing: Sherlock Holmes x Fem!Reader
Warning(s): smidge of angst, love confessions, fluffy fluff
Tumblr media
You had always been someone who was observant, even as a child. You would notice things that others wouldn't, pick up on details that would slip by most people's attention. It was a skill that had served you well in your adult life, especially in your current job as a consulting detective.
But unlike Sherlock, you didn't make a show of your abilities. You kept them hidden, only using them when necessary. You didn't want to draw attention to yourself, especially not from the likes of Sherlock Holmes.
You had been working with him for a few months now, and it was clear that he was intrigued by you. He would occasionally make comments about your abilities, but you always brushed them off, feigning ignorance.
One day, Sherlock was in a particularly foul mood. You could tell he was upset about something, but you didn't know what. You had been working on a case together, but Sherlock had abruptly left the crime scene, leaving you to finish up on your own.
You found him back at 221B, sulking in his chair. You hesitated for a moment, unsure if you should say anything. But something inside you compelled you to speak up.
"Something's bothering you," you said, your voice soft.
Sherlock looked up at you, surprised. "What makes you say that?"
"You're not your usual self," you said, taking a step closer to him. "You're distracted, agitated. And you're avoiding the case we were working on. It's unlike you."
Sherlock's eyes narrowed, and for a moment, you thought he might lash out at you. But instead, he seemed to deflate.
"It's nothing," he muttered, looking away.
"It's not nothing," you said firmly. "You're conflicted about something. Something to do with me, I think."
Sherlock's head snapped back to look at you, his eyes wide. "What are you talking about?"
"You've been...different, around me," you said, hesitating slightly. "More...attentive. And not in the way you usually are. It's like you're...conflicted about something."
Sherlock stared at you for a long moment, his expression unreadable. You felt exposed, vulnerable, like you had revealed too much. You turned to leave, but before you could make it to the door, Sherlock's hand shot out and grabbed your wrist.
"Wait," he said, his voice low. "You're right. I am...conflicted. About you. About us."
You turned to face him, your heart pounding in your chest. "What do you mean?"
Sherlock took a step closer to you, his gaze intense. "I mean...I think I have feelings for you. Romantic feelings."
Your breath caught in your throat. You had suspected as much, but to hear him say it out loud...it was almost too much to handle.
"I feel the same way," you said, your voice barely above a whisper.
Sherlock's eyes widened in surprise. "You do?"
You nodded, feeling emboldened by his confession. "I've been hiding my abilities from you, but I've been observing you just as much as you've been observing me. And...I've noticed how you've been looking at me. How you've been treating me differently."
Sherlock's expression softened, and for a moment, it felt like everything was going to be alright. But then, something shifted in his eyes, and you knew something was wrong.
"I can't do this," he said, his voice rough. "I can't have feelings for you. It's too complicated. It's not...it's not safe."
You felt your heart sink at Sherlock's words. You had been so sure that he felt the same way as you did. You took a step back, feeling embarrassed and exposed.
"What do you mean it's not safe?" you asked, your voice barely above a whisper.
Sherlock sighed heavily and looked down at his feet. "I can't get involved with someone I work with. It's not...it's not professional. And there's always the risk of danger. I can't put you in danger."
You felt a lump form in your throat. You knew that Sherlock had a point, but it still hurt to hear him say it. You had allowed yourself to hope that maybe, just maybe, you could have something with him.
"I understand," you said, your voice shaking slightly. "I'll...I'll go. I don't want to make things awkward."
You turned and exited 221B. The lump in your throat growing with every step you took away from him. Opening the door, you turned behind you to look at the entryway one last time.
Swiping the tear off your cheek, you exited into the rain. You made it as far as the lamppost before Sherlock grabbed your hand. He spun you around and pulled you into his arms, pressing his lips to yours in a fierce, desperate kiss.
The rain was coming down harder now, soaking through your clothes and plastering your hair to your face. But you didn't care. All you could feel was Sherlock's lips on yours, his arms around you, his body pressed up against yours.
When he finally pulled away, you were both gasping for breath. He looked at you, his eyes intense.
"I can't promise that it will be easy," he said. "But I can promise that I want to try. If you're willing."
You felt a smile spread across your face, despite the rain and the uncertainty. "I'm willing. I'm more than willing. "
Sherlock leaned down and kissed you again, this time more gently. You melted into his embrace, feeling the rain washing away all the doubts and fears that had been holding you back. You knew that it wouldn't be easy, but you also knew that you were willing to fight for this, for Sherlock, for yourself. And in that moment, that was all that mattered.

i choose to believe that this movie was originally going to feature a kiss between Doctor Strange and Black Panther's Everett Ross (portrayed by Martin Freeman) basically just so i can start a new tumblr legend i like to call "The Johnlock Conspiracy 2: Marvel Edition". i want all the closet superwholocks who follow me to make a big fuss about how evil homophobic disney axed johnlock2. because it would be funny.

Misc. XIXth century Johnlock Illustrations - (2023)
Sherlock wearing a kimono, amongst other works. I explained this precise head canon of mine in this video HERE. (Note: Drawing n°2 was the first version of Drawing n°1, that's why I used the same reference picture for the head)
