The thing I love about tab is that the first layer of subtext is that its referring to the canon, but then deep down its really referring to Sherlock’s own thoughts, like Sherlock feeling like he’s always faking when he’s in front of other people “do you have to pose while you do your deductions?” or Sherlock wanting to write out what he did to John at Baskerville “I was barely in the dog one” or regretting his recent relapse and feeling like John was the only thing that made him be better for a little while “Perhaps since I convinced the reading public that an unprincipled drug addict is some kind of gentleman hero.” this is all terrible
