we were made for each other, sherlock.

Oh, he’s absolutely on his radar. Moriarty has an obsession with Sherlock, but that means the detective’s best friend is always going to cause some sort of stirring of strong emotions. There’s a scene in the final episode where I wanted to be able to show that in a small way what Moriarty’s attitude to John is. I think it’s one of restrained respect, but also one of envy. Because Moriarty is a sociopath, I think there is something he doesn’t fully understand about friendship. He doesn’t have any friends himself, and that’s what separates him from Sherlock.

It’s hard to see you shine when I’m here slowly dying.

This is how I show my love.

But for all you do I’ll carry you now from this bitter place.

lose yourself in lines dissecting love.
