I almost forgot that on FFnet you can only post one comment per chapter, so here is my epilogue. Please comment.

EPILOGUE:

John and Sherlock love each other and want to live the rest of their lives together. What image do you see in your head right now? Tell me honestly. Do you see a gay couple? Do you see two happy old platonic men? Do we even have a name for this?

If John leaves his wife for Sherlock, what will people think?

If Sherlock picks up John's daughter from school and says, I live with her, what will people say?

You thought that the hardest relationship problem was John and Mary's lack of trust. I think that it may be John and Sherlock's love. Did John make the right decision all those years ago staying with Mary? Will it be better if he remains with her until they are grown, "For the children"?

Tell me, what do you think?
