Finally, I managed to post the next chapter of 'The Chemist'. I am not proud it took me this long to finish another chapter.

Hope you are still with me despite the delay.

Sherlock went from offering to hold hands and talking about your feelings to offering high fives during times of emotional arousal, I need to know if he weighed the options of which was better use or if he uses the two interchangeably dependent on the situation...

Best night of the year for someone with combat-related PTSD and someone who is hypersensitive to loud noises and flashing lights. I do appreciate the fascinating chemistry and beauty of fireworks, but it's better in moderation than this excess of noise and explosions all night long.

"SHERLOCK!" John bellowed, as his best friend and the love of his life jumped off the rooftop of that godawful building.

Everything was gone within a few seconds. Sherlock's body hit the pavement, which drew the attention of the passersby, and just like that, the eighteen glorious months that John had spent with Sherlock as his flatmate, were all but a memory.

It wasn't just Sherlock who had died. John's heart shattered into a thousand pieces and it was as though his life had been sucked out of his body in an instant.

John rushed across the street to be able to be close to Sherlock's body as soon as he could.

"He's my friend!" He kept running to close the seemingly infinite gap between himself and Sherlock. "Please, let me through. He's my friend," he said with a broken voice.

Strangely, John felt as if he was running on a treadmill. His eyes widened and his heart pounded with horror when he wasn't being able to physically reach out to Sherlock's corpse. "Sherlock!" he yelled again. None of the passersby noticed him, though.

It was like John didn't even exist to them. Nobody was making way to let him through.

*

John's eyes snapped open. He realised he was in Sherlock's bedroom, lying on the bed on his right side, with Sherlock spooning him from behind.

"John!" Sherlock's arms tightened around John's chest and abdomen.

John was awake, but his heart was still racing. He was breathing frantically as if his life depended on it. He tried to swallow but couldn't, because of his dry mouth.

"John, wake up. You're okay, John, please wake up right now."

"I'm up," John said in a hoarse voice as he tried to take deep breaths.

"Another nightmare?"

John nodded. His breathing rate was slowly becoming normal.

Of course, that's what it was. Sherlock was back in London a few months ago. There had been one not-so-nice interaction between them, but they had found each other shortly after.

"Er, sorry if I woke you. What did I do, this time?"

Sherlock's arm tightened around his waist. He placed a kiss on the top of his head. "You were shaking - head to toe. And you shouted my name, too, just now. Are you all right?"

John was glad he wasn't facing Sherlock. "Jeez, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to-"

"Don't be stupid," Sherlock said and kissed John's temple. "Tell me what you saw, this time."

"It was you again," said John in a low voice and swallowed. He felt a prickly sensation behind his eyes.

"You jumped off the building and died. This time, I wasn't able to reach out to you. Your body was lying on the front on that pavement but I just couldn't close the distance. It was ugly." John was tearing up.

Sherlock was silent for a long moment. "You know there wasn't any other way."

"I know! I can see why you had to do it. At least now that we've had a talk about it. That's not going to make the nightmares disappear, though. The one I had just now was the worst. It was like I'd become a ghost to everyone else in the world."

Sherlock kissed John's hair once. Then again, then a few more times on the different areas of his scalp.

John's eyes fluttered as he closed them to live in the moment. He grabbed Sherlock's forearm - that was still pressed against his stomach.

Sherlock moved his kisses down to John's nape, sending shivers down his spine.

"I know," Sherlock said between his kisses. "Just wanted to ensure you knew the reason behind all that. Moriarty knew that you were the one I cared about the most and that I would've done anything to ensure your safety."

John closed his eyes and nodded as he leaned back against Sherlock's body on the bed.

"If you felt that you'd become a ghost, you should've been able to tell that it's a nightmare. You'd never be invisible or a ghost to me. That's simply impossible."

John blinked furiously at Sherlock's words.

"As ever you see, but you don't observe."

A couple of tears rolled down John's cheek as he chuckled. He wiped his face and turned around to face Sherlock. He held Sherlock's face gently in his hands.

"Yeah, well. You're the fantastic detective here, not me."

Sherlock opened his mouth but instead of replying, he looked away and cleared his throat.

John could tell he was blushing even in the dark room. He let out a fond laugh as he pulled Sherlock close, to kiss him as deeply as he could.

It's weird that John doesn't have any friends apart from Sherlock. The only other friend he has is Lestrade, who's a mutual, and who's also known Sherlock longer than he's known John.

John is usually considered more approachable, I think. I mean, he's polite enough to get dates to go out on regularly.

But he's quite closed off and quite rude to Mike Stamford in ASIP. Mike seems to be so polite, and yet he doesn't correct John when he says, "Who would want to be my flatmate?", not even out of an attempt to be nice in that moment.

Odd, isn't it?

Hey Lovely!!

We have to remember that John's "approachability" only happened AFTER he met and lived with Sherlock. Perhaps he was in a past life before the army as well, but war changes people, especially when one is traumatized with a sudden life-shift as John was.

God knows that the government treats war vets like shit, so already John is doomed to struggle without help. He hated seeing his (probably army-provided, mandatory) therapist, struggled with just existing and, from context clues in ASiP, we know he probably never ate either. Before ASIP, I assume he just recently re-entered civilian life after a LONG healing period (if he almost died – and probably did - we can make the assumption that he was probably hospitalized for a long time too, probably a few months) and fresh off of a forced honourable discharge. He tried his best to just carry on as Brits do, but it's not HELPING. He's struggling emotionally and physically, poor, depressed, and just trying to survive after the government basically threw him to the side.

John felt aimless, unloved, and lonely, and absolutely suicidal by the time we meet him. He was rude because he didn't WANT to try anymore, but he still gave Mike the opportunity to catch up, which shows us that deep down John DID want to TRY.

And Mike didn't correct John simply because he is a doctor. And we can presume an ARMY doctor if he's at Barts, so he KNOWS John isn't going to do well after war. John is NOT Mike's first time seeing a traumatized war vet. That's why Mike is gentle and knows John is struggling. And Mike knew JUST the perfect chaotic person to keep John's mind off of the tedium of his life-after-war.

Mike is a genius in my book.

Sherlock saved John just as much as John saved Sherlock.

Two loner misfits with strained relationships with their living relatives and thought weird by society? Totally meant to be!

Just finished reading every available Sherlock & Co. fanfic on ao3 and can I just say, this fandom's obsession with episode 7, the Problem of Thor Bridge, Part 1 is right and correct and the only thing that matters?

[emotinalsupportturtle]

Malcolm Bright is basically a likeable Sherlock Holmes but with an actual personality (beyond being an asshole and a smartass), who's also wayy cooler and actually has mad skills

Sherlock wishes he could be my boi Malcolm

(I am right about this and you know it)

#and he's way more interesting #yes I said what I said #this is about bbc sherlock #no hate but it is true #protect malcolm bright at all costs #malcolm bright #sherlock holmes #prodigal son #also he has real PTSD unlike sherlock who has what exactly?

So, I, Um.... Yeah.

Perchance To Dream

Chapter One: First, The Storm

"There, there, you're all right now," I gently lied, as I lay him down to rest. And then, I told the truth, with all my heart. "And it will be all right. The room is dry, Sherlock. The waters are far, far from you, and they will not enter as long as I am here. Now rest. I will only be a moment." "Promise, John?" he asked, voice still high, faint, brittle. It was my name he'd said, I insisted to myself, most firmly. Mine.

Sure, clean the ceiling at midnight. If you crave Dr. Watson's attention, just go upstairs and repeat the "pinned to his bed" experiment.

Additional data would be useful for any experiment. However the results can be very varied when one wakes John Watson, depending on many human factors like mood, alertness, et cetera.
