Okay, so I'm actually rather proud of this, I hope you like it! I apologize if there are any errors and I would love to hear your opinions in reviews!
The prince and the pauper, esteemed lady and stable hand, rich mans daughter and the servant. These and so many more are impossible love stories two people who managed to hold onto love with the world against them. They prevail through wars, disapproving society, angry meddling bystanders and even on the occasion, death itself.
But these stories are just that, stories. Tales twisted together to bring smiles to our faces and a warm feeling our hearts. They are fairy tales designed to make the harsh reality a little bit sweeter. To give us hope, only to have the world rip it away from us again.
In real life people walk away with broken hearts that sometimes never get mended. In real life love is dangerous and is almost always bound to end, leaving not only emotional scars and bruises but many times real ones. This is the word we live in, no some fantasy where everyone gets a happy ending. Happy endings don't exist, only the hope that our ending won't be all that bad.
So turn back now if you're looking for some disney ending, in which they walk away without a scar or broken bone. Stop reading now if you're looking for the perfect couple who has never once raised their voices at each other and go watch cinderella because that is not what this is.
This is real, and in real life love is war and there is no way in hell to make it without battle scars. Time to grow up because this isn't a fairy tale and it isn't going to magically turn into one.
This is about two very broken people. One who loved and lost one to many times and the other who never loved at all, to afraid of getting hurt.
This is a love that started as nothing, but somehow, someway, became something. A love that is so broken and dysfunctional it has tape holding it together in the hope it will someday heal properly. In truth though, who wants a perfect love story? One where they are somehow 'made' for each other and fit together like puzzle pieces. Because when they work for it, when they give it their everything and more, it makes it so much sweeter if they last, and that much more traci if they don't.
This isn't perfect, not even close to it, and it may leave the two happy, or even more broken than they were before.
Because love, it's a risk, no matter who you are.
But especially if your Sherlock Holmes.
