I get it right, yeaaah

Because we know that mrs Hudson caught them in some moment but in moment which we see in beginning of the episode she sounds surprised when say: "You were dancing". So, it is obvious that John with Sherlock learned how to dance a little later.

And his voice when he talk with mrs Hudson so soft, sad, pensive and quiet. Ah..

In the all-new chapter of A Change of Heart, Sherlock and John attend Lestrade’s New Years Eve party and things get boozy! There’ll be drinking games AND dancing!

“Remind me once again why I have to go to this party,” Sherlock said, spitting the word like a curse, as he emerged from the bedroom and buttoned up his aubergine shirt. “We’ve already spent Christmas with those people.”

“Because Greg invited us and I promised we’d show up,” John replied and checked his hair in the mirror above the sink. He, too, was wearing a button-down shirt and a pair of jeans Sherlock was particularly fond of. That man aged like a fine wine. “Besides, I couldn’t stand the thought of falling asleep on the sofa by 10 pm. It’s New Year’s Eve, after all. I just want to go out and feel young again, for one night, Sherlock. Lately, all I’ve been thinking about is nappies and teething and if Rosie should’ve started to walk by now. Dear God, I just want one night off, just getting a little drunk and talk to adults about adult stuff and be a little reckless and silly. So, can you, just for this one night, have a few drinks with me and chat with people without complaining? For me?”

Johnlock Love Letters #2196

Shatter Me 

by loveismyrevolution

This is a story about two men trying to find their way back into the comfort of their companionship. No easy task in the aftermath of the events of Reichenbach, a wedding and a shot through the heart. They are facing a very rocky road ahead with a lot of introspection, misunderstandings, angst and pining. They each try to cope in their own particular way. Eventually, they'll find a way to communicate and learn about the true nature of their feelings. 

This story is not an AU albeit not canon compliant. It splits off right after the confrontation at Leinster Gardens. There's no baby. There's no redemption for Mary. The tarmac and S4 never happened. 

If you love Johnlock songs, if you love dancing Sherlock, if you love texting and talking and not talking and idiots being idiots… if you can stand a whole bunch of angst with a very happy Johnlock ending… then this story might be for you.

John’s throat felt strangled. That was what had tortured him when Sherlock had been… gone. That was why there had been no other option for him than to move out. The silence of the flat, no longer filled by Sherlock’s extensive monologues, Sherlock’s sulks… what would he have given for a bit of bickering, for being called an idiot again, for Sherlock’s sulking form on the sofa… because that would have also meant Sherlock’s bright eyes, mischief around the corner of his mouth, Sherlock’s stir crazy joy at the prospect of catching a serial killer, Sherlock’s warmth and gentleness towards Mrs Hudson and that private little smile Sherlock kept only for John… 

And now? Now that he was back? John had hoped to feel less lonely. He had hoped to get his Sherlock back. He had hoped to feel as if he belonged again. But where was that smile? The glint in his eyes? He hadn’t seen it in a long time. Had it ever been back since Sherlock’s return? There had always been a silent understanding between the two of them, but now John had the feeling that he didn’t understand Sherlock at all…

Knowing the song by heart, remembering each word as if it were burned into the back of his mind, John silently started singing along. Nothing more than a whisper at first, but each note echoed boisterously in the hollow of his heart…
