Disclaimer: No characters or settings within belong to me, and are only lovingly used with the intent of a demonstration of appreciation.
Author Notes: I swiped a lovely prompt table (Delta) over at 1sentenceorder, even though the pairing had already been claimed by someone probably much more suited to it than I.

There is a need to breathe, even as the air is knocked from Sherlock’s lungs, even as his whole body deflates with the delightful lack of it, even as he closes his eyes to John’s face and finally realizes that there is an even greater need for the sight of him.
