    Summary

    A fix-it for two scenes in TLD that either needed explanation or needed more: (1) What was up with John Watson in the interview with Lestrade in TLD? "We always saw it coming but it was fun." (2) What happened between Sherlock and John after the hug?

    Summary

    My only wish for “The Lying Detective” was to show John apologizing to Sherlock for hitting him. Given the enduring tone towards the end of episode, I am sure that John would eventually apologize. So I just wanted to write a scene of how I think it would have gone. I also imagine what happened to John’s cane.

    Setting: This takes place right after the scene in the flat, with John and Sherlock leaving to meet Molly for birthday cake.

    Summary

    This story takes place during the moments we're not shown on screen after The Hug in The Lying Detective. I would like to think that something along the lines of what I've written here took place before they went to get Sherlock some birthday cake.

    “I wish I was better at this. You deserve better from me.”

    John had regained his breath, and the tears that he’d finally let fall in front of another person began to dry on his cheeks. His nose was red, and his eyes were still full. He sniffed pointedly in that way he has; an attempt to rein in all of the pieces of himself that he’d just let me see. John Watson: Always trying to hold himself together as he was crumbling to bits.

    Summary

    They were still in the middle of the room. Still close. Sherlock's hand was still on John's neck. Still lingering. Still warm on John's skin.

    God, was he afraid.

    He was still afraid that John would break free from the embrace, put on that hateful mask of half hearted indifference and bravery and leave the air around Sherlock cold like before. His cheek touched by the harsh, cold air around him instead of the soft grey of John's hair. His lungs empty of his smell.

    His arms empty and useless.

    Had it only been a moment?
