Pairing: Sherlock/John
Length: 1,500 words
Rating: General Audiences
Warnings: None
Verse: Sherlock BBC
Author's summary: In which John almost drowns and the boys talk about affection. Though, in not so many words.
Reccer's comments: In this gorgeous little fic, John almost drowns and Sherlock really, really isn't okay with that. Like so many other stories set after The Great Game, Sherlock is forced to acknowledge just how important John is to him and that he does indeed have a heart. What sets this story apart from other post-pool H/C and Getting Together fics is the narration. For the most part it's a relatively free stream of consciousness which envelops events of past, present and future in a very creative swirl of imagery and which beautifully corresponds with John's barely conscious, drug and pain addled state.
I really love how this story emphasises that Sherlock and John are always there to save each other from falling, drowning, despairing, not just in the physical sense. Also, I simply adore how Sherlock and John talk about their feelings here - it's so abashed and taciturn and awkward, and yet it manages to be incredibly tender and romantic, leaving you with a warm and fuzzy feeling inside.
