 #just the fact that john thinks he knows him that well already #knows him well enough to defend him #and to want to defend him #some guy he met in a morgue yesterday #and the parallel between this scene and the scene from the fall #that tiny moment of doubt #is completely and utterly gone #to go from that to #i know you #100% #to trust sherlock even when sherlock is telling him not to #because john is so far form an idiot and he knows #he knows the difference between people he can trust and people he can’t #people who are good and people who aren’t #and instantly he knows sherlock is the former #despite the morgue and the body and the warnings and the man himself he knows #john who has no reason to trust anyone trusts sherlock holmes #because mycroft was so fucking right #before john even knew he was right #of all the people #john chose him #and he chose right #even if everybody#absolutely everybody #is telling him he chose wrong

Sherlock: Alice.
Alice: It’s been too long, Sherlock Holmes. Interesting case?
Sherlock: Better. 
Alice: Moriarty.
Sherlock: Yes. To what do I owe this visit?
Alice: Has he been keeping you occupied with another little game, then? I can only hope for your sake that he’s developed some imagination since your last little tryst.
Sherlock: Jealousy doesn’t suit you, Alice.
Alice: Do you want to catch him more than you want to catch me?
Sherlock: At the moment, yes. I’m running out of time.
Alice: Because if I thought you were about to lose interest in me, I’d be inconsolable.
Sherlock: You haven’t bored me yet.
Alice: Are you trying to beguile me?
Sherlock: No, I wouldn’t be so foolish. Why are you here?
Alice: I want to help you.
Sherlock: I find it highly improbable that you would presume that I need your help, much less that you would be here without an ulterior motive. Why are you here?
Alice: You need me. 
Sherlock: No. I’m tolerating you, there’s a difference. What I need is to figure out where Moriarty has made a mistake and catch him out before he levels half of London, and, as I’m sure you’re aware, you’re incredibly distracting.
Alice: Flattery to appease a malignant narcissist. That’s a frivolous tactic. 
Sherlock: Did it work? 
Alice: …Yes. Moriarty is just a naughty child, showing off. You don’t need a mistake, you already know his flaw — his compulsion to dominate, to be in control — and you already know how to exploit that. 
Sherlock: How? 
Alice: Oh, come on. Change the state of play. 
Sherlock: I tried that with you and it failed. 
Alice: Only just. 
Sherlock: …Are you trying to beguile me?
