I will face God and yeet backwards into Hell

james calling sherlock “the moon.”

yes, it’s a joke.

BUT—

sherlock is subdued. sherlock stands back. sherlock is brilliant but avoids eye contact in classrooms and social situations (his blueblue eyes like the night sky and sea)

james is confidence, charm, and a killer smile. he is charisma and warm brown eyes.

he guides sherlock. literally and figuratively.

he teaches him to fight and figure things out when he’s stuck.

he is the light that helps him grow and fully bloom.

soulmates, two sides of the same coin, completing each other, etc etc

plus, noah kahan’s “orbiter:”

i’m an astronaut. you’re the moon. i stare at you; i circle you.

if i’m gonna lose you either way

Inaccurate quotes?

Bonus:

his brother is right there. but who is sherlock pressed up against?

the man he’s known for, like, a month. cheek to hair, something tender.

in his agony, when he might be dying, he’s pressing against james. and james isn’t letting go.

the voice crack, the shaking hands. that’s what tells me james isn’t a sociopath. that isn’t fake love or fear. that’s your soulmate dying in front of you.

i’m not leaving you down here.

he’s furious. you can tell. probably wants to go rip shou’an apart. but he isn’t leaving him.

and then, the way they fucking don’t let go. sherlock holding his hand until the last second. james holding right back.
