Title: Every Ending Is A New Beginning
Author: obsessionality
Fandom: Sherlock BBC
Ratings: NC17
Pairing: Mary Morstan/John Watson; Hints of One-Sided John Watson/Sherlock Holmes
Wordcount: 1273 Words
Spoilers: For EVERYTHING. Mark my words, for all six episodes and EVERY SPOILER that's come out since - including the BBC trailers, John's Blog posts and the set pictures they've been releasing. This is an over-arching spoiler warning.
Disclaimer: I own nothing. Not the characters or anything. The first three lines of this fic come from John's Blog post here and the part of the scene portrayed comes from the 8th of December 2013 Trailer.
Summary: John's been recovering from the fall for two years, and Mary's been by his side for every step of the way. He loved Sherlock, but he loves Mary too, and still it's difficult to let go of the past. But there has to be a breaking point, and while some people need explosions and fireworks, John's breaking point comes in a silent office, when he realizes that it's as simple as making the choice to live.
You can love Ghosts, but they'll never love you back.
AN: This was written in response to the trailer fiasco of the 8th of December 2013 on Tumblr (let's just say post limits were hit very fast and I didn't come off capslock for about four hours). Again, I'm warning for SPOILERS for Sherlock BBC Season 3 - in whatever shape or form we have received them (trailers, pictures, John's blog posts - this is an all-encompassing spoiler warning). Also, I don't want any Mary Bashing. John's been through enough. In my book, Mary's gold until she's proven otherwise. I'm walking in with this assumption, and I'm sorry if it bothers you. I ship Johnlock too, but I won't have a single word against her. She doesn't deserve it either.
