Reccer's comments: I have realized there's a story I love, and that story is how Sherlock and John overcome their fears and social conditioning to at last recognize the true nature of their relationship. "Far from Sure" is a wonderful example of that story. There's a brief conversation between John and Sherlock near the end of the story that brings me nearly to tears -- I find both men so poignant in that moment. Yet they find their courage: Sherlock to ask and John to act.

And the penultimate paragraph is one of the most charming ever. This is a delicate and moving story that always makes me smile.
