This person is a fucking psychic
This was a popular “never gonna happen” headcanon. We thought they were writing a Sherlock who petulantly wouldn’t even go to the wedding and would be cold about the entire thing (as a manifestation of his heartbreak but that would never be stated) but they were writing the Sherlock that we were reading all along. It feelings good and absolutely goddamn heartbreaking and life-ending in equal measures.
I will never stop being amazed by this piece of prophecy.
whoa…… unknown to us sometimes our headcanons aren’t even mere headcanons and it turns out to be true. Remember sherlock’s drug past? we’ve always angst it up in sherlock whump fics and exaggerated how bad his addiction is like overdosing in a drug den and Mycroft (and Lestrade) helped him get clean
But I’ve always assumed “this is just fanfic. Moftiss will probably write Sherlock’s drug past as a passing problem and they won’t really touch on it save for a few verbal references”
but look at TAB. That episode made every angsty #past drug use fics canon
