Sherlock Holmes has always liked the idea of John loving him but suddenly their slow burning relationship has taken on a fresh urgency. A marksman out for revenge has given an ultimatum and Sherlock must prove he can loved and be loved. He has six weeks.

Perhaps Sherlock and John didn't become intimate suddenly after a breathless row or in the euphoria of solving a case. Perhaps it was after a gradual series of unlikely events during a particularly hot summer...

John and Sherlock have managed to lock themselves in a murderer's basement. No windows, phone signal or light switch. Not good. Sherlock however sees this is the perfect time to uncover the cause of John's 'angst'. Is he prepared for the discovery?

John is suspicious about Sherlock's motives for the 'minor alterations' in their friendship. Is it possible Sherlock's understanding of love is purely chemical? How long can Sherlock last without his new favourite drug?

Adaptation of the classic story, on the backdrop of Sherlock's return from the dead. Part of John is just happy to be back solving crimes with his friend. The other part is struggling with Sherlock's apparent interest in more than just friendship.
