    Summary

    The kiss is firm – like a stamp of ownership. It isn’t a questioning kiss of quietness. It’s a claim on John, a 'mine now, not letting you go' declaration, even though there’s only the two of them in the room.

    There were twenty minutes between the hug, and the boys going for cake. What happened after our screens faded to black?

    TLD missing scene. 20 sweet and cathartic minutes. The resolution we never got in the episode.

    Summary

    Sherlock’s not even making eye contact, his mind obviously wandering off to somewhere else other than here. John tries to offer the same courtesy by diverting his gaze over to the dead fireplace where balled-up Rizla papers remain unscathed next to ash.

     

    “I’m getting married.”

     

    God, it feels so final.

    What if they weren't interrupted during John's stag night?

    Tension so thick you can cut it with a knife!
    Stag night.
    Soft inebriated Sherlock, who still knows exactly what he's doing.
    John's secret wants and wishes.
    Love it!

    Summary

    Mary Morstan was as dead as a doornail.

    It’s Christmastime at Baker Street, but things are far from festive. Mary is dead, John and Sherlock’s friendship is all but ruined, and Sherlock has become a right dick about everything. More convinced than ever that sentiment is objectively useless, Sherlock needs a little paranormal intervention to see the error of his ways or else run the risk of losing all that is important to him.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    Fenomenal, emotional Christmas story. Incredibly in character and spot on dialogue. Grumpy, drug using Sherlock, very depressed and estranged John. No nonsense Harry. Mystrade. Vulnerable Mycroft <3. Ghost Mary. Three genius Christmas spirits.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    Short observations and a brief conversation which, in a beautifully understated way, reveals the love, hardships and difficult choices Mycroft and John has endured as siblings of an addict. Very in character, brilliant writing!

    A lovely glimpse of a significant moment in John Watson's youth. Very effectively told, very impactful. So many small details setting the tone and time and relationships.
