It seems only yesterday I used to believe
there was nothing under my skin but light.
If you cut me I could shine.
But now when I fall upon the sidewalks of life,
I skin my knees. I bleed.
“Don’t make people into heroes, John. Heroes don’t exist and if they did I wouldn’t be one of them.” - Sherlock, 1.03 The Great Game

“I’m not a hero. I really am just a mad man with a box.” - Doctor Who, 6.11 The God Complex
“My best friend. Sherlock Holmes. Is dead.”
#okay no #this moment hurt #Because John has no idea #He has absolutely no idea that that’s the last thing he’ll ever say to Sherlock Holmes face to face #But Sherlock does #He knows that and he knows John is right in what he says #He’s about to go out and give literally everything for his friends #for John Watson #But to protect John he has to hurt him first #has to make him leave #so he just sits there and takes it #Because friends protect you
