I have one of the promo pics with John and Sherlock at the wedding as desktop background picture and when I was looking at it the other day, I remembered how many people had noticed that Sherlock looks as if he has cried. Tiny fixing fic, basically ;)

(Pic can be found in the AO3 Version and in my archive.)

"Is this really necessary?"

"Yes, it is."

"It's embarrassing."

"Embarrassing? You went to Buckingham Palace dressed in only a sheet, and talk of embarrassment?"

"This is different."

"I hope it is."

"I still don't understand why we have to-"

"Because it's a beautiful memory, and because I'll probably never again get a photo of you with red-rimmed eyes because you cried-"

"Still the most ridiculous thing I've ever done."

"- tears of emotion."

"Never going to do that again."

"See. So I need proof. Now shut up and let the photographer do his job."

"John?"

"Hm?

"We're not going to put that up in our living room."

"Oh, we most certainly will."

"But-"

"No but, Sherlock. This photo gets a prominent place on the mantelpiece. After all, it is the first picture of us as a married couple."
