I was looking over my notes and realized that chapter 7 would be too short, and so I have merged 6 and 7 together. Thank you to all 186 people who have read this, thank you to all who will. I want to see reviews 10 years from today! Keep them coming!

-You're unbelievable. If you're going crazy, just grab me and take me-

I can't imagine what it is like for you, with everything making patterns and forming every detail into sense all the time. Does it get tiring? It must.

Note to self: Ask Lestrade if he's ever seen Sherlock mentally exhausted.

I have seen you lose sleep, lose weight, lose patience. I've seen you joyous and frightened, bored, deep in thought and depressed.
But I also know the other parts that I don't think most people get to see. The Sherlock that is quiet and content, who enjoys bagels with cream cheese, a long morning coffee with the window open while it is raining.

When was the last time we went out, just for the sake of going out? You always seem to have at least ten reasons for going somewhere. One day we should see if you can't stick to one, or even two.

Its kind of funny (while being tiresome) that our friends have started seeing us as SherlockandJohn, instead of Sherlock and John.

Sometimes I can't help but worry you're going to cave underneath all the pressure, both from yourself and others... to be the best, to solve crimes.

I know, I know you would never be pleased to hear this... But... as much as you want to be, you aren't a god Sherlock.

I wonder who reminded you before to eat, catch 40 winks, and bathe. Even if you are on a case.

If you ever feel like you are losing yourself or your mind or just, I don't know, need a bloody reminder... If something is getting to you and you need a distraction to give that brain of yours something else to focus on while the problem works itself out in the background... Tell me.

I do my best to notice. I know that I don't always do it though.

Hold onto me Sherlock, I fear you won't survive without me sometimes.

Stupid.

Silly.

Egotistical of me really, to think that you need me, could ever need me, really.

Just grab me and take me wherever you need.

I will always be here.


The first chapter of the companion piece, is now posted. I am considering making a third one about what happens when they receive the letters, sort of a post TRF reunion. Any thoughts, are you for or against?

Thank you again for taking a chance on this story. I hope you enjoyed the ride.
