Hi. Wonderful analysis of Sherlock and John’s relationship! However there is something that is bugging me. You said that prior to John telling Sherlock that he’s his best friend and that he loves him, Sherlock didn’t know that John loves him. However do you think that Sherlock was aware of John’s attraction and obsession with him right from the start anyway, without realising it was actual love? Was Sherlock’s wedding epiphany about his own feelings towards John? And how much is John aware of?

Based on these questions, I think you’re asking me to refute the arguments of another fandomer. I love loudest-subtext-in-television! Brilliant analyses, excellent endgame proposals! Very inspiring, and a joy to have in fandom! I desperately want to take that one out for a drink or five, let me assure you. That would be a hell of a night. #tumblrcrushomgomg #lovelovelove #neverstopLSiT #<3<3<3

So, your questions:

Step by step, then: 1) how much does Sherlock know about John’s feelings for him, 2) what’s the story about a wedding epiphany, and 3) how much does John know (about his own feelings, or about Sherlock’s? I’ll assume Sherlock’s)?
