I FINALLY made something. I have the same problem with Sherlock/John than with River/Doctor. NO SONG IS PERFECT ENOUGH FOR THEM. At first I wanted to use Echo by Jason Walker, but I didn't finish it. One day I will. I hope. But for now, have this one ;)

What can I say... THIS EPISODE KILLED ME. Their relationship, dear god, it's the most beautiful thing in the world. Really. Not only in Sherlock. It is the best relationship since 1887. It's just a miracle. An extraordinary man with an ordinary one, the friendship that should never have existed, and still, it worked. They are the perfect match. Romance, bromance, friendship, whatever, what they have is above all of this. No word can define it. I don't know how it can even exist. What is funny is that Doyle probably never meant to create it that way. Watson was just a witness of Holmes' adventures, the sidekick whose role is only to assist him and then tell the stories. His biographer. And it became so much more than this. This is a thing that will always amaze with with Sherlock Holmes, and that I've never seen about anything else. It's bigger than its creator. It just kind of exists by itself.

So, THE REICHENBACH FALL. I spent a week SUFFERING. My chest was litteraly hurting all day long, I couldn't wait to see it and at the same time I didn't want to. Because... BECAUSE REICHENBACH. The short story broke my heart. And then it happened. I watched it and I cried. The scene when they're on the phone. THIS SCENE. Their best scene. So much love. So much sadness. So much pain. The most interesting part is that Sherlock is playing a role at the beginning. He is the character we know, cold, pretending he is scared, pretending he is a fake, pretending he is broken enough to commit suicide. But then, THEN there is this glorious moment when he says "nobody could be that clever" and John says "You could" and Sherlock laughs and DEAR HOLY FUCKING MOTHER OF JESUS. That's the moment he becomes sincere. He's lying about the real reason why he is moved, but the emotion itself is REAL. It's genuine. He's hurt because everything is is has been taken from him. Everything that matters. His work. His IDENTITY. Who he is. He's nothing if he isn't this. And that's awful. AND now he also has to deal with the fact that he has to leave John behind. That he has to say goodbye to the only person he is really close to. That he has to hurt him. And John is holding on to him, saying 'no', because he trusts Sherlock, because he knows him like no-one else does. And Sherlock sees this, he sees how much he counts for John, because I'm pretty sure he never truly realized it before. And it's the moment to say goodbye. The moment to lie. IT'S SO TRAGIC. And THE TEAR. He didn't have to cry. John couldn't see the tear from where he was. It was a real tear. The one and only tear that means SO much. To me it's the ONE moment Sherlock shows how deeply he really cares about John. Because no-one is there to see it, it's just him and his feelings. And their hands. And their everything. HOOOOLY SHIT AAAAAAAH. This moment gives me so many feelings, it hurts.

Martin Freeman's and Benedict Cumberbatch's performances are FLAWLESS. HOW can they be so talented? Usually, when I watch a series, or a movie, I'm like 'wow these actors are not bad', and some times, a very few times, I completely forgot that they are actors. They are the characters. They're so talented that they make us forget they are talented. See what I mean? GIVE BENEDICT HIS FUCKING BAFTA FOR GOD'S SAKE. I am so in love with his Sherlock. Like really. I'm Molly. I'm definitely Molly.

Okay I'll stop now.
