John loves Sherlock, Sherlock loves John, but both are too scared to admit it to each other. Follow their story as they solve mysteries, hide secrets, fall out, fall so deeply in love it scares them both. After all, love is a curious thing.

The only thing in life Sherlock had ever wanted was a family, though as he progresses through stages of life and heartbreak he begins to realize that he cannot make one for himself in the normal fashion. To have a family is to be loved unconditionally, and in Sherlock's eyes the only way to gain the trust of another human is to be with them from the start. The choices he makes and the mistakes along the way lead him into the midst of a suburban neighborhood, trying his hand at fatherhood while acting like a child himself. Johnlock Parentlock

Sorrow's my body on the waves Sorrow's a girl inside my cave I live in a city sorrow built It's in my honey, it's in my milk Don't leave my half a heart alone on the water Cover me in rag and bone sympathy Cause I don't want to get over you. I give all the writing credit to the fabulous Mad_Lori
