Fics like symphony (will you hold me tight and not let go?)

“Right,” John states, trying to explain to himself what that outburst of glee in his veins is supposed to mean. “Okay. You’re… unattached, like me.” Sherlock’s still staring at him expectantly, and John licks his lips, planning ways to steer the conversation away from this awkward, wonderful mess. And Sherlock looks down at John’s tongue and lips, and John feels that complicated feeling again, that lurch in his heart that makes him swallow and wonder, how on earth did this man happen to someone like me? “Yes,” Sherlock says softly. “I suppose I am.” John’s never good enough for Sherlock Holmes; he’s just a frumpy sweater-loving ex-soldier that has no right to love Sherlock the way that he does. Sherlock, however, is prepared to change John’s mind. OR: 3 times John thinks he’s not good enough + 1 where Sherlock pulls his head out of his arse far enough to redeem himself.
