John’s face as he sees Sherlock rushing into the fire to save him. Ugh, my heart. 

He’s literally mouthing “What?” 

He never understands. START UNDERSTANDING, JOHN. Sob.

To rephrase your last statement.

:He never understood. He started understanding. Oh, John…

But this also makes me think how Sherlock never told John he pulled him out. Clearly after being pulled out John blacks out and I’m sure he asked what happened exactly, and instead of telling him he got through the lit bonfire to pull him out risking his own integrity he spat out some lies about firemen or even some stranger because he doesn’t want John to owe him anything, because he knows John is still angry and he doesn’t want John to think it was some kind of making up for what he did and above all he doesn’t want John to think he is Sherlock’s soft spot even if he actually is, because Sherlock Holmes doesn’t do feelings. It’s actually heartbreaking, hold me.

Nope not ok ↑

Think about this: John, to this day, does not know that Sherlock jumped off a building in front of him before if he hadn’t, John would have been shot. He doesn’t know. He doesn’t know that Sherlock deliberately planned for him to NOT be there, to not have to see it. John was supposed to buy the story that Sherlock didn’t care about Mrs Hudson and go to Baker Street, ultimately to protect both of them from the snipers - remember, Mrs Hudson’s sniper was AT Baker Street. But Moriarty drew it out too long, so John went back and got there just at the wrong time, and by that point, it was too late: he had to see it so that the snipers would see him grieving, believe that Sherlock was dead, and not kill John. That was the goal here. Not for John to have to suffer, but for John to actually not be dead. 

Now think about this: Mary drove her car to Baker Street. She and Sherlock then took that motorcycle to where John had been shoved into a fire. Sherlock was the one who dove face-first into the fire and pulled him out while Mary did nothing. But after, what happened? Mary, as she would have said it, “took John home”. Their car, again, was at Baker Street, but Mary and John left Sherlock there on his own. They could have all taken a cab to Baker Street together, but they didn’t. Sherlock saved John’s life, not Mary, but Mary basically got to take the credit, and more importantly, was the one who got to go home with John. He loves John so much and does all this stuff for him and never even takes credit for it, or gets any credit for it. He certainly doesn’t get John for it. But then, John really can’t be blamed, because he didn’t know.

And for that, I will never forgive the writers.
