londonlock:

did sherlock carry around those vitruvian john files under his arm, but within his coat? there cant have been an inside pocket big enough for them, and he took them out too smoothly for that anyway…

sherlock must have travelled from 221b to st bart’s with one arm clasped hard down at his side to hold the files. also, he swings his arms as he walks; he must have just swung the one arm.

he would have looked ridiculous… and i love him for devoting himself so unabashedly to his gay pursuits
