queer-until-proven-straight:

warmth-and-constancy:

Ben and Martin will always be Sherlock and John to me. That dusty flat will always be their home to me. That much I know. That’s what adds yet another layer of difficulty. Those were practically real people to me and they still are, they still exist.

This is why it’s so hard for me to make a “clean break” with the show; I love the characters – these specific characters – too much.
