Not only was Sherlock’s the only vow we’ve seen on the show, but it seems like Sherlock was the only one to do everything in his power to keep the vow he made the day of the wedding.

Mary lied and manipulated John from day one, so she’s right out. And then John had his little text fling, so there he goes.

Sherlock on the other hand, put his life on the line, and was willing to sacrifice everything to keep the vow he made (to John).

Sherlock really IS the best man

Sherlock honestly deserves everything, more so than anyone else, even John.

Like, Sherlock is single handedly the only one trying to do literally everything to make everyone else happy. Consider: everything he did for John even when it was at the expense of himself, everything he did for Mary despite her shooting him (and then not hesitate that she’ll do it again) and then also drug him when he was trying to help her, Sherlock still trying to help eurus despite her killing his childhood best friend and then again trying to kill him and his current best friend or his brother. Everything he’d done was for very selfless reasons, he did it for the sake of the people he cared about no matter how difficult or unfair the situation was against him.

This is why I honestly just wish to see Sherlock be happy, be loved and appreciated and cherished. And having John come back to baker street and assume that role isn’t enough for me. After everything Sherlock has done for John, I honestly think Sherlock deserves much more than just “having John back”. John must apologize to him, take care of him, be protective of him without being selfishly possessive, be loyal and trustworthy to him. Coz Sherlock deserves it all

I fully agree with all of this! Literally all of series 3 was about nothing but Sherlock doing everything in his power to make John happy, literally without limit, up to and including throwing his own life away so that John could be happy with a woman who hadn’t even been honest enough with him to tell him her real name. Sherlock has spent all of his time since the return trying to apologize to John, even though he was literally saving John’s life then, too, and all he gets in return is unfair blame, John going back to Mary, he’s constantly assumed the worst of, gets beaten nearly to death while already near death – AGAIN for the sake of saving John- and an acknowledgement – not even an apology – that Mary’s death was in no way his fault. He deserves so much better.

Don’t get me wrong; I still ship them absolutely. But there are reparations that need making here.
