can you imagine. sherlock and john running through london. chasing a criminal, and sherlock is so excited and the adrenaline is pumping and he shouts back for john, waving his arm, “come on, john, keep up!” and usually john comes back with a snappy retort about sherlock’s long legs or something, but this time he stays silent, and sherlock falters and goes, “john?” and he doesn’t get a reply and suddenly sherlock is running back, searching for john, and he finds john in an alley, bleeding from his chest, gasping and gurgling, and sherlock drops to his knees and “john! john, john! john? john, god, john no no no, no”
