Edward (Robin Ellis) proposes to Elinor (Joanna David) in the 1971 BBC adaptation of Sense and Sensibility.
"I have longed for this moment from the instant of our first meeting. Dear, dear Elinor. Would you - could you possibly -?" "No, Edward, no!" "But why?" "Well, the gravel is much too damp. We had a shower earlier this morning. There - if you must be so foolish, take that." "Oh, prudent, practical Elinor! How could anyone fail to love you?"

WHAT  MIGHT  HAVE  HAPPENED  ON  JANUARY  15th
________________________________________________________________
A POSSIBLE SOLUTION FOR THE STORY TOLD IN SHERLOCK BBC
Tumblr media
This idea led me back to the unaired PILOT, to the story of Sherlock and John and their first meeting … as it is told here. 
One might call it a crazy idea and people who don’t approve of the possibility of EMP/EDT or even more so of EEMP probably won’t like it. Therfore the cut. Although … I don’t know if I should even call it EMP. It’s more to do with ‘DREAM’.  Anyway … everyone who dares to go 'deeper’ …. I hope you enjoy the read. :)
This idea is based on the following Facts:
the existence of the 'UNAIRED PILOT’ in general
there has been a special panel for said 'Unaired Pilot’ at Sherlocked Con 2016 …..  WHY ???
TPTB tell us again and again that they are going  BACK ….. but where exactly are they goning to go back to? Where have we left the Boys?
Benedict’s statement via AP that Sherlock BBC is not going to happen in the same regularity as it has been happening and after watching S4 everyone will realize why
Benedict’s statement via Crime Magazine that S4 will show who Sherlock really is
Marks statement at GALHA Annual Lunch 2014 about the portrayal of LGBT characters on TV
watching TPTB as well as the crew attending conventions, panels, interviews …. almost bursting with joy, excitement and delight, devilish grin on their faces and obviously having the greatest fun of their lives …… this in mind I simply can’t imagine they are telling a dark and heartbreaking tragedy
over the course of 10 episodes the whole story turned out to be beautifully ultra-dramatic as well as full of exquisite exaggerations …. with still rising tendency
and there is a certain someone in the story who loves to be dramatic … and after all it’s his story
Finally the air dates for S4. The first episode is aready confirmed for Sunday, 1st January. If the pattern stayes the same as in previous years the following two episodes will probably air on:
Sunday, 8th January
Sunday, 15th January.
.
ALL OF THIS GAVE ME THE IDEA THAT A REVISIT OF THE 'UNAIRED PILOT’  MIGHT BE IN THE REALM OF POSSIBILITY
Tumblr media
WHEN? …. AFTER THE MAIN EVENTS OF S4 HAVE LEFT EVERYONE HEARTBROKEN, DROWNING IN TEARS AND …. EXACTLY AS PROMISED …. GUT-PUNCHED INTO DEVASTATION
BUT THIS TIME THE WHOLE STORY WILL BE TOLD 
WHAT DID REALLY HAPPEN AFTER THE MEMORABLE CASE OF THE LADY IN PINK - THE VERY FIRST CASE SHERLOCK AND JOHN SOLVED TOGETHER
Tumblr media
ENDCREDITS ……. NOT ROLLING
SHERLOCK: Dinner? JOHN: Starving. SHERLOCK: There’s a good Chinese at the end of the road, stays open ’til two.
(and meanwhile it is common knowledge what 'dinner’ stands for in this show)
AT THE CHINESE RESTAURANT:
John is feeding up a finally hungry certain consulting dedective. The whole event is dominated by extended flirting as well as heavy eyesex …. much more so than at Angelo’s. The tablecloth will be in danger of bursting into flames……
Afterwards Sherlock and John take a taxi to John's place because 221b is inaccessible due to the dead serial killer, all the blood on the carpet,  the annoying police officers still milling around the whole flat and a massively pissed off landlady.
Here comes the part ( already pointed out and brilliantly described by a lot of people) where the TV will go dark … for reasons. So I leave you to your own avid and skilled imaginations. :)))
.
SOMETIME SEVERAL HOURS LATER - PROBABLY ROUND NOON OR MID AFTERNOON
JOHN (shaking Sherlock awake): Hey, Sherlock … wake up … you’re dreaming ….
SHERLOCK (startling awake, staring wide eyed and heavily gasping at John): ……
JOHN:  Bad dream was it?
SHERLOCK (suddenly coming to life, grabbing John and kissing him desperaately): ….
SECONDS GO BY, MINUTES, HOURS, DAYS ….. AEONS ….. who knows?  Hopefully the TV doesn’t go black this time ….
JOHN (gasping for air): That bad?
SHERLOCK (gasping as well):  Worse ….
JOHN (wordlessly lifting an eyebrow in question): ……
SHERLOCK (accusingly): You married ….
JOHN (still silent but lifting the eyebrow a little higher): …..
SHERLOCK (deep and growling voice): …. a woman ….. she shot me …..
JOHN (shaking his head with determination):  Nope! That’s certainly never going to happen!
SHERLOCK (wordlessly lifting an eyebrow himself): …..
JOHN:  If I’m ever going to marry someone it would be ….. (falling silent)
SHERLOCK (his eyebrow hides under a mop of dishevelled curls): ……
JOHN (serious with a tiny little smile coming to life):  It …. it would be you …. I suppose …..
SHERLOCK (quick):  Yes.
JOHN: What?
SHERLOCK (rolling his eyes):  Yes! … Of Course, yes! …. I do!
JOHN (a trifle bemused):  What????
SHERLOCK (getting impatient, emphasizing every word):  I do …. I accept your proposal …. I want to marry you too!  Got it now?
JOHN (after holding his breath in surprise for several seconds):  But ….. Sherlock, you DO know that we only met less than 24 hours ago? Right?
SHERLOCK (rolling his eyes dramatically):  Yes, John. And by now YOU should know that I’m a genius and I certainly don’t need ages to recognize the love of my life. Right?
JOHN (wispering):  I am the love of your life?
SHERLOCK (holding John’s gaze without blinking):  Of Course!  Of Course, you are the love of my life.  It’s always you ….. always will be …..
JOHN (drowning in Sherlock’s eyes): ….
SHERLOCK (getting slowly impatient again):  Now … what are you saying?
JOHN (still drowning):  Hm?
SHERLOCK (sighing):  About getting married ….
JOHN (coming 'back’ again, smiling): Ohhh …. that ….. well, three things. First - we finish the 'buisiness’ we started … before … your proposal (kissing Sherlock on the tip of his nose).
SHERLOCK (quickly interrupting):  YOUR proposal.
JOHN (smiling and kissing the nose in question again):  OK. OUR proposal.
SHERLOCK (nodding solemnly): Agreed. What else?
JOHN (kissing the beautiful nose once more): Breakfeast. A nice late breakfest. And then …. we are going to plan our honeymoon. OK?
SHERLOCK (the biggest grin ever splitting his face):  Brilliant!
And again the TV goes dark for the same reasons as before …. so sorry :)
ENDCREDITS ARE ROLLING
.
After an extension of the 'UNAIRED PILOT’ like this, TPTB could continue the story several years after wedding and honeymoon, with Sherlock and John happily married in an already established relationship. This could explain Benedict hinting at the 'irregularity’ after S4. Several years passing 'inside’ the story but not nessessarily 'outside’ of it. Moreover the actual age of the actors would be of no relevance as well. TPTB could continue with a lot of new stories and bigger adventures with the 'cosulting husbands’ as long as they and the actors enjoy doing it.
MURDER  MYSTERY  AND  MAYHAM  AHEAD
SHERLOCK  &  JOHN
JUST THE TWO OF THEM AGAINST THE REST OF THE WORLD

… the one aspect of this idea which surprised and delighted me the most is a little detail I only discoverd last night while rewatching 'THE PILOT’ and taking some nice pics for this post. On
John’s Blog
the famous meeting of Sherlock Holmes and John Watson takes place on January, 29th
Tumblr media
In the unaired 'PILOT’ however John receives Sherlock’s message that he should come to Baker Street if convenient ….. on January, 14th !!!!
Tumblr media
NOW …… IF OUR BELOVED DETECTIVE AND HIS DOCTOR HAD DINNER AFTER THE 'PINK LADY CASE’ AND THEN …… SOMETHING MORE CAME TO PASS  ……
THEN THE DAY SHERLOCK AND JOHN WOULD WAKE UP TOGETHER FOR THE VERY FIRST TIME WOULD BE:
Tumblr media
I leave you to your own deductions.
.
Oh, and for everyone who is concerned that Mycroft Holmes isn’t present in this story …. that’s not quite true. He is:
Tumblr media
Apparently there is an 'impossible situation’ that bothers him and Sherlock gives the very famous advice:
WHEN YOU HAVE ELIMINATED THE IMPOSSIBLE WHATEVER REMAINS MUST BE THE TRUTH
.
Thank’s @callie-ariane for the scripts.

Thank you @impatient14 for informing me that the link doesn't work anymore. Thankfully I have a copy of this post. After one of my posts 'vanished' on Saturday (The stage is set - the curtain rises) I made copies of the rest. Just in case. :))))  And I try to recreate the lost one.
SO .... IT IS UP AGAIN AND I DON'T DO IT UNDER A CUT IN CASE IT VANISHES AGAIN!
