Anonymous asked: John I have always admired you:) I would love to have tea with you sometime:)

Well, you should. I have a lunatic to keep at bay.

I’m not a lunatic, I’m a high-functioning-

Don’t even go there. We’ve talked about this before.

sakuradancer3 asked: If you had to pick one food, one electronic device, one book, one person to live with for the rest of your life, what would they be for you two, respectively?

I’m certain you didn’t need to ask whom we might want to live with. We’d both pick each other. Easily.

Yes. I’d bring my laptop- you?

Agreed.

For food I’d pick jam.

Milk.. modestly.

Oh. Now he’s grinning.

A book, Holmes?

Practical Handbook of Bee Culture.

Harry Potter.

Knew it.

Just to vex you.

Anonymous asked: cookie anon has returned...

Hello Cookie Anon.

Go away.

Ignore him. How are you?

John?

Yes?

John?

Yes, Sherlock?

This case is aggravating.

Maybe if you would have gotten some rest last night it wouldn’t be.

Sleep is unimportant right now.

I would love for you to prove that.

Later. I’m too occupied currently.

Can I brew you a cup of tea?

No.

Well I will anyways. You need to have something.

I’m going for a walk.

It’ll be waiting for you when you return.

Anonymous asked: Dr. Watson, how did/do you deal with your PTSD? I'm going mad. On the nights that I do sleep, I wake up more exhausted than before. It's difficult to be in public for fear of strangers being too close. My therapist refuses to prescribe medications, saying they only mask the symptoms. But I'd think masking the symptoms would be fairly ideal... What is your opinion on this?

It was difficult, I’m not going to lie to you. The sleep was a harsh issue on my side, also (It’s why I try so hard to get Sherlock to do so.). It was hardly at night when I did sleep, though. I was extremely exhausted. Sometimes I would wake up at the table or on the ground and not realize that I had dozed off. You therapist, however, seems to be correct. Do what he/she says (They are the professional.).

My suggestions are to make sure you’re eating properly and sleep whenever you even slightly feel tired. Try making a point to go out with friends one night a week or something along those lines. Have confidence that everyone around you makes you feel comfortable and if they don’t evaluate why that is. Stick by your family if you can.

But above all stay positive about it. If you aren’t, everything can be ruined. 

vexedcer asked: Sherlock, what is your worst memory that you haven't deleted?

Perhaps seeing John on the screens at Mycroft’s and not being able to  reach out to him in any way for his safety because I was ‘dead’ at the time. I would never delete those memories- they’re far to important and I would forbid the erase of them.

Please explain further, for my sake if anyone’s.

I learned a great deal about my own emotions then and how and why people had such relations. It was something I couldn’t even begin to fathom before I had come across you. For example, I had a brother. We were physically related. And that was it. Nothing more. (Although even after seeing these things, almost nothing will persuade me to be kinder to him.).

Are you sure I can’t coax you?

You are the exception, but please don’t attempt it.
