okay so I’m a nerd. Going to use this art for fliers about the Sherlock meet ups next week <3
I just love how excited John looks; like he’s a huge fan of Captain America’s comics and dragged Sherlock over to see the new trailer.
#this man absolutely 1000% has the soul of a soldier #there could have been any number of ways he could have reacted here #he could have lashed out at mike for phrasing it like that #he could have gotten upset #he could have lost himself in memories of what it felt like to bleed out onto sand #but no #he slices it right to the core of what it was and what happened #he got shot #end of story #he doesn’t try to deny it or dance around it or make it into a big poor pitiful me moment #because john watson is strong #stronger than even he thinks he can be #he can — and will — overcome anything #he survived being shot and with that he survived losing being able to do the only two things he thought he could #be a soldier and be a surgeon #and even if his world is dulled and faded he’ll survive losing sherlock holmes #even if he misses him every fucking day #and nothing is the same #he won’t let sherlock’s ghost drag him down or push him into a life half-lived #he’ll go back to work he’ll date and he’ll live #because even if it hurts to draw air into his lungs john watson will breathe
SHERLOCK AU: In which Andrew and Benedict made a bet during the filming of “The Great Game” to see who would make Martin angry first.

#how does martin manage to look SO empty? #I can feel his weight giving out #and his numbness #and in one second he goes from talking to Sherlock looking pretty much normal to looking like the life was sucked out of him
nevercouldgetthehangofthursdays:
#I love how Greg is just like #no please go ahead John take a look at the body #who cares I could get fired for letting you here in the first place#I don’t even know anymore
Can we just talk a second about how fucking adorable Martin looks in the scene. Like, fuck.
