"Don't think I haven't noticed, that I've yet to say the name. I know it's not healthy, to hide from it, but outside of that office, outside of that one time, I can't find myself able to say it. Don't ask me why 'cause I couldn't tell you even if I knew. But it's not good is it? Putting all of this pressure on just a name." He sighs.

"One name. Two syllables. But so much power." John takes a deep breath and the corner of his mouth quirks up into a sad imitation of his former smile. "Power over me."

Sherlock's breathe hitches and his stomach twists in an unfamiliar way. His heart pounds as he stares at his friend, rewinding the video to play it over again.

"One name."

A shiver runs up his spine.

"Two syllables."

The detective closes his eyes, letting the words wash over him.

"So much power."

His heart skips a beat.

"Power over me."

You are wrong John. It is you that has power over me.
