Love on the Open Water by Tindelmerelhloni

Johnlock Love Letters #2189

John has been trying to get over Sherlock for years, up to and including toying with the idea of moving out of Philadelphia entirely. Still, something always manages to pull him back, like Sherlock's gossipy old acquaintance, Langdale Pike, an art enthusiast who lives more for the drama than anything else. When Langdale pushes John in the direction of Sherlock's old boyfriend, jealousy surfaces and lures John into a case only Sherlock Holmes could solve.

Meanwhile, Sherlock has been searching for a cure for his affliction only to end up high and dry each time. Is he still a great detective, capable of saving his friend from the danger headed his way, or will they both wind up in over their heads?

“Why should you care, Sherlock?” Moriarty shrugged, an exaggerated frown on his face, wrinkling his chin. “Let the world burn. What does it all really matter?”

The world was where John Watson lived. The world had Baker Street and Mrs. Hudson and Lestrade. It had puzzles to solve, walls to shoot and violin music. The world had seen fit to create the perfect circumstances for one out of service army doctor to meet and move in with one strange consulting detective. That’s what mattered. Perhaps John was a bad influence on Sherlock, if he was going to be prone to these moments of whimsical musings.

“It matters,” Sherlock replied, letting his cigarette fall to the ground before stamping it out with his feet.

“Very well, then. Shall we?” Moriarty said, a delighted grin spreading across his face.

John rapped gently on the door. “He's gone, Sherlock.”

He was met with silence.

Temper flaring, John knocked again. “Sherlock! You're-”

The door swung open and Sherlock's angry face glared down at him. “I'm what? Being an ass? A brat? A self-righteous bastard? Please, Saint Watson, tell me how I'm offending you today so I can alter my behavior to please you.”
