summary: I leaned on you today (and I have promises to keep)
content notes: Spoilers for the whole first series
notes: Made from scratch in a 48-hour burst of sleep-deprived creativity, in order to be finished in time for such_heights's birthday yesterday. ♥ Thank you for getting me to overcome my initial scepticism and finally watch this stupid show about stupid people with stupid faces and their stupid (beautiful, complex) relationship. I may have some Thoughts about them at some point, but right now everything I have to say is in the vid.

Lyrics

I leaned on you today
I regularly hurt but never say
I nearly wore the window through
Where was air sea rescue?
The cavalry with tea and sympathy
You were there
Puncture repair

I leaned on you today
I regularly hurt but never say
You patched me up and sent me on my way
I leaned on you today

Oh, this was just gorgeous, it absolutely brought a lump to my throat. It absolutely got me right from the opening sequence of them moving closer and closer together and by the end I was bound right up, from my heart to my stomach like when someone is telling you something terribly important. I usually get that when someone confesses love in media and in a way that felt to me like what this vid was expressing, the way that they love each other, and come to that love through gradual work and trusting and really, Sherlock could never express love any other or more profound way than saying that he is better with another person. Anyway, this was so sparse and so intimate and so perfect, thank you so much for making it!

Oh, thank you for such a lovely comment!

And yes, you are absolutely right - Sherlock is so sure of his own cleverness, so certain that the NYPD/Scotland Yard/any crime victims are better with him, that admitting that *he* could be better with someone else is a huge deal.
