Conversational
Summary
A collection of tiny, mostly-dialogue scenes between (usually) Sherlock and John. Each chapter is a standalone.I've really just written these for myself and wanted to post them so I don't lose them. They're not Brit-picked. I'll add any new ones as new chapters, so this might never be marked as complete.I like these two as queerplatonic or in an otherwise asexual relationship. These can be gen or slash, depends on your choice of goggles. Also, apparently I'm obsessed with platonic bedsharing. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

"I called you a machine."
"What?"
"The last thing I said to you. Before you -...left."
"..."
"We thought - Well, I thought. You knew all along didn't you. I thought Mrs. Hudson was dying. And you didn't care. God, it was you. So I'd go away. Wasn't it."
"John."
"Look nevermind that anyway. I thought she was dying and you didn't care and I called you a machine and you -...I was the only one who never had. Who never would. Who never should have. Your friend, your only friend, and I did the one thing I'd promised myself I'd never do. You never deserved to be treated that way. But everyone did. And you were at the edge - practically already at the edge of the roof - No, remember, it was real for me.

I didn't even see it. Didn't see how much you needed -...someone, anyone. And the last person you were supposed to be able to rely on turned out to be just the same as the rest, and you stepped off that roof. I killed you. No - I said remember, it was real for me. Nobody just goes and - and does that on a whim, Sherlock. You were in a dark enough place for it and I pushed you off that roof. I killed Sherlock Holmes, I killed my - my best friend."
"...Those weren't. The last words you said to me."
"Christ, Sherlock."
"You said I could be clever. Remember?"
"God, I try not to remember that phone call."
"And you said that I was your friend. When you asked to be let through."
"It doesn't count, Sherlock, you were already dead. Christ it doesn't count."
"I'm sorry, John. I am sorry. I didn't -...I didn't realize you would blame yourself."
"Yes, well, you should have, shouldn't you."
"...Always something..."
