Just wanted to let you know you're one of my favorite fic writers ever! At least 3 of my top fics are yours. Your writing is captivating and I can't keep my eyes away; I keep re reading even when I have other things to do. Right now it's almost 2 am and I
Aw! Thanks so much! It’s been awhile since I’ve written any new Sherlock fics, so it’s nice to hear people are still reading them!

So I see a lot of brilliant meta’s based on subtext and clues and stuff about why johnlock is going to happen (all of which are super amazing and clever) but for me the strongest piece of evidence that supports tjlc is that without it the show doesn’t really have a plot anymore.
We know that there will be at least one more season (most likely two), but at this point we’ve already been shown over and over again how loyal john and sherlock are to each other and how much they do love each other (even if it is platonic). So if that’s all it’s ever going to be (just a really close friendship), then what’s left to tell?
This show has never been about the cases - it’s not even labeled a crime show, it’s a drama. It’s about the characters, and their relationships. So what is supposed to be the climactic point now that john and sherlock have so openly demonstrated to us how deeply they care for each other? Sure, they have a few issues to straighten out and we could theoretically continue to flesh out their friendship, but given how much has changed each season so far, i don’t think further demonstrating the strength of their friendship is a strong enough plot to justify an entire season’s worth of drama.
S4 won’t be about rebuilding mary and john’s marriage. Even if you believe that they’re truly in love, even if they actually do work on their marriage, that won’t be the central conflict because as mofftiss have repeatedly told us, this show is about sherlock and john.
So if the next step in their relationship isn’t developing from friendship into romance, then what’s left to do? Considering how difficult the show is to actually make (what with all the conflicting schedules etc.) and how much respect mofftiss have for ACD’s stories, i can’t believe they would bother continuing it unless they had a really great, character driven plot in mind.
The only logical explanation for a sherlock and john based plot that would cause major drama and continue developing the characters is johnlock.
True.

Sherlock Holmes, again, must have sexual impulses because human beings tend to — most human beings, not absolutely all, but that’s the majority.
The fact is, he decides to put all that in an iron box to make his brain work better.
Of course, the fact that that iron box bounces around and shakes and bangs from the inside is what makes the story interesting.
He wants to rise above us like a snowcapped mountain, but he’s actually a volcano, and that’s where the story is.
That’s where the story is.

Holy shit. Hadn’t seen thus. Pretty conclusive. We knew he’s not ‘explosive’ over any woman on the show, so what else could he possibly be talking about but John?

BFI Screening of A...

We need a meta silver bullet...
I’ve been trying to talk to writer friends who are casual viewers of Sherlock and explain why TLJC is really a thing and about the subtext and clues and how johnlock is definitely going to happen, on screen, in S4 or S5. I get this blank look. Like: Sure, we believe you, you totally deranged fan girl.
And I feel like I want to spend hours, nay weeks, putting together some kind of uber high level master page of only THE most important and THE most convincing arguments on canon johnlock. Because, frankly, there’s WAY too much meta for a casual person to wade through and it’s all a big mare’s nest. Only I shouldn’t really spend the time doing that this week when I’m supposed to be, like working.
So. ijdk. If anyone knows of something like that that already exists, please let me know.
