This is a collaboration between myself and the wonderful TheArmada1. It will be a long story we hope and your opinions would be greatly appreciated. So we estimate that it will be updated every week or two. Anyway enough from me. Read and review.

ALSO DISCLAIMER FOR THE WHOLE WORK. NEITHER OF US ARE THE BRILLIANT ACD OR EVEN MOFFAT AND THE BBC. WE MAKE NO MONEY FROM THIS SO DON'T SUE US. THANKS! :D

My dearest John

I'm not even sure writing this letter was/is a good idea, but here goes nothing, I pray you don't hate me once I'm through. I think I'm in love with you. I'm not 100% sure, and even if I was I know nothing will happen between us because you my dear friend are not that way inclined and I would most likely end up destroying our friendship, and that friendship means more to me than anything else in the world. And yet when you smile at me, say I'm smart, chose to spend time with me, it makes me feel special and warm and I can't really describe it. I yearn for your company, companionship, conversation, everything and anything with you.

I told you once I thought I might be asexual, but I believe that is false. I can act well enough not to draw suspicion but both you and Mycroft know that I'll struggle to find anyone else I can be this close to. If you don't feel the same, which is, highly likely, I will understand but I hope that won't stop you from being my friend. Knowing you are happy, safe and enjoying yourself with whomever you want (even Mary or Sarah) is enough for me so long as I have your friendship.

I am a coward for not telling you all this to your face and I fear to read over this in case I try to edit it because the bare honest truth is what you deserve John.

You are my best and truest friend, nobody understands me and gets where I am coming from like you do. You make me laugh even when I'm feeling at my lowest. You put up with my violin at all hours, follow me to most cases and ease my boredom when I am without a case. Every minute I spend with you is treasured by me. You are the closest thing to a soul mate I think I'll ever have. You are compassionate, loyal, just, generous, brave and above all handsome and intelligent and my greatest friend.

If you are disturbed/disgusted by my confession I'll understand, merely text me and tell me it's the end. I hope we can still be friends because I won't try anything, you know that. Besides, if I can go a year or so without acting on it then it will be fine right? Nothing has to change! Please.

I'm sorry I'm babbling now. Just know that I love you John, truly madly deeply forever and always. Moreover, I am sorry for taking the coward's way out and writing you a letter to tell you.

My truest regards as I remain ever faithfully yours,

Sherlock Holmes
