alone on the water | sherlock bbc

[1gallifrey1]

Aww... I just cried!! Damn you for making a fantastic video and damn the author for making a heat-breaking Fanfiction..... :( :( The words through out the video was lovely; much more touching...

[BeautifulDreams95]

This was really beautiful. :3

[scyninq]

Wonderfully written fanfiction, and a brilliant fan video...

Now I'm going to wonder why I read/watch things like this while I gather up the remains of my heart that I find scattered all over the floor.

[Vampirate1963]

Omg. Ive probably watched this ten times just today, hoping that every time I watch it, I don't cry.... But I always do! :'( it's just so beautifully done, and I think the song is perfect. It gave me chills. Well done. Absolute perfection. -3

[klimtZ23]

OOOOOOOOOH MY GOOOOD WHY.

[ShadowersEnd]

I cannot get through this video without crying. Once everyone stands up, and the words "I don't tell them that I loved him," come up, I just lose it.

This is heartbreakingly gorgeous.

[Nov21983]

Wow, okay, fine. Take my heart, I mean, it's not like I REALLY needed it or anything silly like that.

[XkoolaidXx]

guys read the fic!! it's amazing <3 *sobbing* wonderful video :')

[plueschkissenx]

I have cried so hard watching this.

Especially after having watched the last epsiode two days ago :(

[hay1lin]

I seriously haven't cried this much since Reichenbach, and yet I cannot stop watching it. I applaud you for making this, but at the same time I resent you for causing this angst!

[forestofmagic]

Why would you make this?! D'8 It's so beautiful! And I'm crying so hard right now. xDDD My soul was just ripped into piecessssssssss

[rayaluna]

The first time I watched this, is was after reading the fic and it made me sob (as the fic hadn't quite tipped me over the edge). This time, I went from watching very happy vids and giggling to tears running down my face in a total 180. Well done, you! *wipes away tears*

[MultiAnimeChick]

5 seconds into the video and I'm crying.... By the time the last quote fades out I'm physically sobbing and mentally curled up into a ball, waiting for my soul to crumble into a thousand pieces from the sheer force of sorrow this video has inflicted upon me. Seriously.

TL;DR As John would say "Brilliant!"

[Sunnypluto]

I have spend WEEKS now trying to forget that fic, so much that I actually managed to forget the title. Then, at the "late model citroen" bit, all the tears returned. I've never cried so much over a story, and this video just brought it all back.

[LlamaSunshineProject]

OOOOWWWW

MY SOUL

[SnowCoveredHill]

I'm such a masochist watching all those fan made videos. Show is cruel enough, and this video just killed me. (I mean, it was so good.)

[SyrusGX]

That story. Holy shit. I cried from beginning to end. ); this video is the best thing ever.

[hay1lin]

Why would you do this to my heart??????

[Siege2342]

If I close my eyes it doesn't exist. doesn't exist. does. not. exist...

...

...

I'm f-f-fiiinnnnnnnneee *gross sobbing*

[carma91]

wow, never have I started crying so quickly in my life. actual tears falling down my face by the end. amazing

[stargatelover007]

oh god, nooooo! *sobbing hysterically*

[ScarlettOcean92]

Please know how grateful I am that I now associate this song with Sherlock and not Twilight.

[TheBooshygal]

All my feels-take them!

[kenia0993]

*sobbing* again

[girlwithaquill]

It...it broke me.

[Moriarteas]

/violent sobs

[hemulen4]

how are all your videos so utterly beautiful and heartbreaking?

[Nathanae88]

Why would you do that to us?? (and why am I crying so hard? it's not real or even really part of the show I love so much.) beautifully made, though.

[katrina376]

Oh good. I'm cring again. The fanfic broke my heart and totally ruined up my progress of recovering from breaking up with my ex 3 months ago. I read the fic last Tuesday and since that I can't stand seeing merely the title! And now after watching this vid I really feel like I will never go through this. It's terrible... But beautiful. Oh.

[xMrxPrincessx]

I read Alone on the Water during Christmas Break and broke with how beautifully it was written.

Then you go and make this, break me again with the song choice and the freeze frames and with how well made you've done this, AND make me go reread the story (where I continued to be an emotional wreck for a bit). You've done the story justice. Thank you.

[katrinadax]

That was a nice touch using the funeral from "Love Actually" in which Martin Freeman's character is named John as well :-)

[ravensclawgirl]

oh god now I'm crying all over again :')

[Curreeuss]

Why do I do these things to myself. Honestly.

[firestarthegreat]

Everytime I try not to cry, once it gets to the part where Sherlock gets wiped out of the videos, I start bawling so hard I can't see straight.

THE THINGS MY OTP DOES TO ME IS INSANE.

[xxecnamorxx]

I tried so hard not to like this song because Twilight BUT NOW, I'M IN LOVE WITH IT BECAUSE JOHNLOCK. What. have. you. done. to. me.

[JenandLily96]

You made me cry. What video editing program thingie do you use?

[meakii13]

Can't help crying,and then this video brings me to that fic.so I'm crying AGAIN! This beautiful song is quite suitable！

[AliceMayIsBetter]

You are such a bad person. This is heartbreaking, you don't even know.

[relientk58]

I fucking hate you for this...except for that's a lie because I fucking love you for this.

[Ayla191]

ok, I watched "Reinchenbach" a few days ago, I read "Alone on the water" yesterday and now I find myself watching this awesome heartbreaking vid, what´s the matter with me? I ´l need to breath and remember that Sherlock is alive Loved "Thounsand of years": for me, it´s a Merthur song but I´ll asociate it with this too :)

[edwardsgirl210]

why would someone make this video?! i had to pause it half way through so i could cry for a while. thanks for that.

[warriorsandstripe]

That...that was...I can't even tell you how beautiful this is, I'm literally crying right now and I've never cried over a youtube video before. ...I'm just gonna go curl up in the fetal position now

[superkidflash]

oh god. This is just absolutely beautiful. You have such an amazing talent. Couldn't help but cry.

[thisbitterlife]

This beauty is cruel. I'm going to cry for hours.

[trixy9]

What kind of a masochist would make a video of this fic?! Oh my oh my... BRB dying...

[MadmoiselleBizarre]

Those freeze frames at the end did me in...

[Tinasover]

Ah, this is killing me. I need to stop now. Not go back and reread it. STOP!

[Double2Edged]

Whenever I play 'A Thousand Years', I can literally see this video in my head.

Why no, I'm not obsessed or anything.

[katrinadax]

@Double2Edged I feel the same. I can't seem to stop listening to Thousand Years now. I first heard it in this video....then i found out it's on the Twilight soundtrack as the "theme song." I don't know about you, but this song will now be the Johnlock theme and anytime I hear this song, I'll think of them.

[Wholockian]

Why would you do that to us? Why? 

[miriamgr94]

wow. that was amazing.

[katrinadax]

This song is ruined for me now....in a good way =). Now when I hear it, I think of sherlock and john. Talk about the greatest bromance ever. Anyways I'm nownd no in love with this song and can't get enough of it. And no matter how sad this makes me or how much I cry, I can't stop watching this vid or reading Alone on the Water... sigh...

[Str4yk1tt3n]

....OH MY GOD. HOW COULD YOU DO THIS TO ME.  I AM SO FULL OF FEELINGS RIGHT NOW AND ALL OF THEM ARE CRYING. You really put all the pain and tragedy of AitW into this and it is brilliant and painful and I'm at work and I can't CRY here...OH GEE.

[AnnoyedGirlKami]

I can't listen to this song anymore without crying.

[LiveFreeOrTwiHard202]

Watched all of Sherlock in a day, just finished Alone On the Water upon a follower on Tumblr's request, became upset, was then told to watch this. My life... is ruined. HE'S DIED TWICE NOW IN FRONT OF JOHN! (assuming that this happens after Sherlock tells John he's still alive) I feel so bad for the little Hedgehog... :(

[0thelie]

OHGODWHYDIDIDOTHIS! Just read Alone on the water. When I had somewhat regained my ability to breathe, I found some quotes on tumblr, and started tearing up again... And then I found this and now I'm all out crying again! Cruel world, why must anything be this sad and amazing.

[Blaine150]

oh my god. i'm crying so fucking hard. i cried in the middle of lunch from reading this. just some random guy, sitting there, crying at his phone.

[Blaine150]

@sasha62059 its called a thousand years by Christina Perri

[sasha62059]

It is fantastic!!!! Thank you so much...but what is the name of the song? I don`t remember it..

[katrinadax]

@sasha62059 It's on the soundtrack to Twilight Breaking Dawn, but it will forever = Johnlock to me. "I have loved you for a thousand years..." *crying*

[thegirlwhoeatsfeet]

@katrinadax It suits Johnlock so much better in my opinion.

[KuroiMitsuki]

I've just read the fanfiction.. With this song in the background. My heart was broken in a million pieces! *cries*

[katrinadax]

@KuroiMitsuki Yeah, me too

[TheUnknownMuffin]

My Godness, I'm just drowining in tears.

[lilybetaldycia]

I didn't think my heart could break any more after reading that fic... you proved me wrong. *chokes*

[hamster3467]

ughuuu my emotions i don't know how much more i can take T__T

[EmberFelzara]

This is a beautiful video! I can't believe you say it's not that good. It had me in tears! I love it!

[SilaVendethiel]

I underestimate your continuing ability to break my heart into tiny, tiny pieces and feed them to the grief monster. This is completely beautiful, but at the same time I'D JUST STOPPED CRYING EVERY TIME I REWATCHED REICHENBACH AND NOW THIS D:

[Daigaduu]

I cry every time I watch this. Then I go and read Alone on the water and cry more...

[CoolKidConan1]

I have to say, I don't ship Johnlock, except friendship wise, but this video is just so beautiful, I can't help but cry my eyes out.

[amayakumiko]

Hooo. Deep breathes girl, deep breathes. Its just a fic.. its just a fic.

[iggyrocks1]

@Vw3216 you win. At everything.

[Vw3216]

And every time I watch this video I get these pains in my chest and I just know it's Moffat's fault that BITCH

[SpringNicht8]

@Vw3216 OMG! I get it! But whatever you do - DON'T tell her you like it, it will just make you look like an idiot.

[SilaVendethiel]

@Vw3216 Thanks Steven!

[JoannaWitBlues]

@aziangr1 Thanks will try reading some of the stories :)

[GetOffMySheet]

There's this thing in my chest that USED to be a heart, but is now reduced to a quivering pile of mush. WHY IS THERE SO MUCH FEELING?! NOT FAAAAAIIIIIR...

[loveformusic321]

I was watching this and i was thinking, well i can't stab myself properly because i'm tired and too lazy to get out of bed. So i tried to use my fingers. You reduced me to sitting on my bed, poking my stomach rapidly with my fingers

[nightingally]

I feel physical pain. Inside. Right here. In the chest.

[JoannaWitBlues]

Did he actually say he cant see out of his right eye?? .. i love this by the way.. :)

[aziangr1]

@JoannaWitBlues this is actually from a fanfiction titled "alone on the water" not the show. i recommend reading the the story. however i watched this before reading the fanfction and was still quite affected by it.

[CaptainFriedaTimber]

Oh, oh my feels

[georgeordraco]

WHY DO I KEEP COMING BACK TO WATCH THIS VIDEO?! SO SAD!

[TheSuicidalSnail]

WHY WOULD YOU DO THIS TO ME.

[AliensDoNotExist]

0:00 Ok, this time, i'm not crying. IT'S JUST A SHOW !

0:02 FUCK.

[miriamgr94]

@AliensDoNotExist even better, it's the fanfiction of a show!

still crying...

[AliensDoNotExist]

@miriamgr94 Haha exactly !

Fuck.. Everything is Johnlock and EVERYTHING FUCKING HURTS LIKE HELL.

[chreyedcity]

I can't go on

[chiixichigo]

screaming and crying

[39ocean]

Fantastic editing! But, you're probably kicking yourself because of all the clips you could have used from Reichenbach. :D The music choice is great!

[dyanne052595]

Who's the bitch who disliked this thing?

[PersonalPuppeteer]

Oh my fucking God.

I just.

I...

But.

WHY.

WHY WOULD YOU POST SOMETHING LIKE THAT?

BRB, continuing to sob.

Seriously, though. I just lost it and started sobbing at 00:57.

[SasuSaku129]

I always lose it at 00:58....

[TheRandomandTheUke]

I showed this to my friend who hasnt watched sherlock because i said how sad it is...almost cried buckets infront of her...

[KuroTsukiKun]

I read this fanfiction...TEARS

[XionZacor]

You deserve SO many more views!

[TheRandomandTheUke]

Oh my god.....fuck....i thought i could be strong...crying my eyes out...

[SubliminalDecree]

Oh wow. So, I actually thought that I was strong enough to watch this without crying.

I believe the tears started about ten seconds in. Damn it.

[HPgeek2]

I'm addicted to this video. And you shouldn't be regretting the song choice, I personally like that the song is more about their dedication to each other rather than being depressed. :)

[XoXMalfoyLoverXoX]

I'M CRYING SO HARD RIGHT NOW! I just finished getting over 'Alone on the Water' and now I'm crying all over again. I can't breathe, I can't see through my tears and I'm sobbing.

IT'S NOT JUST A TV SHOW! IT'S NOT JUST HARMLESS!

I BELIEVE IN SHERLOCK HOLMES, IN JOHN WATSON, IN JAMES MORIARTY AND EVERYBODY INCLUDED INT HE SHOW, ALVE OR DEAD!

I WILL GO DOWN WITH THIS FANDOM TO THE END OF MY DAYS!

[EmoBella101]

I just read it for the first time. OH DEAR GOD I CANNOT STOP CRYING. I HAVE NOT STOPPED SINCE THE SECOND PARAGRAPH. I thought nothing could be more depressing than the Reichenbach Fall, but I was WRONG. I haven't cried this much since I watched Amadeus. And maybe not even then!

[BluejayFolchart]

This was everything. Everything. Dear god...how can something so sad and yet so astonishing even exist. Fic superb. Vid superb. I live you and I hate you. And. Arrgggggg

[Sensue1]

That really made me cry.

[thegirlwhoeatsfeet]

Oh hi, I'm not crying, a river fell on my face.

[LoonyOrange]

ok, so i hope you don't mind, but i hate you x

[franziska1007]

T.T

[LeatherBee]

I'm very reserved when it comes to this pairing, because as much as I love Holmes/Watson slash, I think it's very hard to do justice for, regardless of the fandom. You, however, managed to make this believable. I think I need to go read the fic now to see if it's up to the standards of your video. I rarely read fics of the BBC version, but you convinced me to give this one a try.

[wildcatzafiro]

safyhjgsdg

The sound I made was not human—some strangled yelp of agony, perhaps.

[LoudIndoorVoice]

Why do I keep coming back and doing this to myself?

[XxxxShowjumperxxxX]

I watched this thinking I shall not cry, i shall not cry...

Half a minuet in i was just like FUCK :'''''( *snivvell*

[KailaNicole2011]

This fanfiction. There are no words. I've put this story on a pedestal and nothing shall ever touch it. Literally, I can't call it beautiful because that's not even a worthy adjective to describe it.

[BoomerangAMV]

I don't know when I cried the last time because of a video. Maybe a couple of months, I guess, or a year.

This one broke my record.

[opertionaltruth]

WHY DOES THIS EXIST.

That fic burned the heart out of me.

Just leave me to die.

[jaderotaski1]

Its not often Fan videos make me cry but I read the fanfiction before this video and dear gosh I'm crying so hard right now! T^T That was beautiful, in every sense of the word.

[PeachIntoxication]

It's ridiculous what this fandom does to you, isn't it? Like, you never imagined you could be so invested in something. So dedicated. It's not just fiction, because the feelings we get from things like this are real. It's real and raw. It brings us together, and that's why we love it. I dunno, I'm just a mess now.

[ABordPerson1]

THE FEELS. WHY YOU DO THIS.

[thepunkgirlwtheface]

I'm not the type that cries at movies or TV shows, I was always the "tough" one...then I watched this. (sobs)

[MarisaRocksOut]

WHY THE FUCK WOULD YOU MAKE SOMETHING LIKE THIS?!?!? *creys*

[AshlynNicole390904]

I just.. I can't anymore.

[SquirrelinDistance]

Ouch, my heart.

; A;

[KnifeADDICTION]

I am literally sobbing... Well done... This is amazing.... Well done... ♥

[morganflint001]

Oh Jesus, I thought the story was bad. But this... THIS Beautiful THING. I am crying. All the feelings. Right the fuck here. Oh, this is so amazing and beautiful and FUCKING SHIT I am broken. I am done. Finished. Congratulations, this fan video is one for the ages. You have a beautiful mind. I think I love you.

[JVroxhardcore]

Whenever I watch this, and finally calm down enough to function... I find my pillow soaking wet with tears.

The end gets me every time.

[ajumpergirl4evr1221]

WHY WOULD YOU PULL OUT MY HEART AND KILL ME IN A SOBBING MESS?!?!?

[Randomossity96]

Dear god reading it almost killed me now I'm think I'll curl up in a hole and die. The emotions!

[aleeciay]

Sobbing now an all...

[GiveMeAFix]

Wow. I'm crying. Again. And I really don't know why I am watching this. I'm probably masochist. I've read the fanfiction sayin "nothing can be that sad", then I watched this video. My computer is all wet by tears. I really, really, really can't stand this.

[iheartap72]

Okay. I'm crying. Why do I do this to myself? Beautiful video.

[LittleItchy123]

whydo i do this to myself? I read the fanfic thinking "geeez, what's the big deal" and now i'm crying and looking up videos for it. My heart can't handle this. I'm undone

[MissMillsonxx]

i try to tell myself it's just a show...

[demonwings1031]

@MissMillsonxx Don't. I believe in Sherlock Holmes. And life is so much more beautiful if you live as if everything that you love is real. You have so many more friends and so much more life if you do, even if sometimes it breaks your heart.

[thepunkgirlwtheface]

@demonwings1031 You're amazing.

[demonwings1031]

@thepunkgirlwtheface Not really. I just read alot of books, and it'd be sad if all the friends I've made from them weren't real.

[delusionaldragon42]

@MissMillsonxx But it's not. It's so not.

[CaptainFriedaTimber]

@MissMillsonxx Just trying to tell myself it's a FANFICTION of a show ;n;

[poofycupcake]

OH GOD NO

[petdoctor3000]

Not sure how to handle the feelings that my body is currently experiencing...

[wintersfire]

... ALL OF THESE FEELINGS T^T

[SheepWearingLace]

9 people were crying so hard they missed the like button.

[1422animelover]

aaaand the tears are coming again

[ItalianChick93]

Why, why would you do this? I mean, it's brilliantly done, but still. All the feels...T_T

[dtdwFan420]

1:24 just melt my heart!

[fishfingersndcustard]

I haven't even finished the fanfiction because I'm so scared. I'm sobbing grossly all over my laptop. Why did I watch this? Oh, God.

[themajorminus]

i've never cried this hard about something fictional before in my life

[MameuYzZa]

WHY? WHY DON'T YOU JUST STAB ME IN THE HEART?? ;(

[Homgzrave]

WHY WOULD YOU MAKE SOMETHING LIKE THIS

[ICarobelleI]

T_____________T

Это так.... УАААААААААААААААААААААААА!

[clonewarzfab]

Oh My this is amazing!! I love you <3 why create such amazing stories!! -crys-

[ReluctantHooligans]

I can't even breathe. I think I am being overwhelmed with creys. WHYYY.

[aloha45]

I HAVE ALL OF THE CREYS AND ALL OF THE FEELS

[bookmaniac2013]

my heart just ripped itself out of my chest and then broke in half. absolutely beautiful!!!

also where are all the quote things from, surely they're not all from the show?

[Iamtheaudience22]

@bookmaniac2013 If you feel like dying inside, read "alone on the water". It's a fanfic.

[xiluvtwilightx]

I keep coming back to this and the fic.

There has got to be something wrong with me. I must be a masochist.

SOBBING AGAIN.

[mechantefee69]

break my heart why don't you... btw, what is the song?

[LoudIndoorVoice]

STOP MAKING ME FEEL EMOTIONS! NO NO NO!

[Miiiikaa]

Were you deliberately trying to kill my emotions?

[MisTvIecHstyLeZ]

i hate for introducing me to this fanfiction!! I'm crying my heart out, right now!.. but still.. thank you.. it's the most beautiful and sad story i've ever read.. and now this song makes me cry too, because i heard it over and over again when i read the story... god, i'm a mess right now.. thank you.. xo

[xxdEaTHnOTeFaNxx]

OH YOU KNOW WHAT WHY DONT I JUST DRAG MYSELF OVER TO MY DELICIOUS AND READ THE GODDAMN THING AGAIN, YEAH? I MEAN IF I'M GONNA CRY MYSELF DRY MIGHT AS WELL DO IT PROPERLY.

[k1ttyrawr]

yeah this is a part where I die inside...

[Aiyake]

OH SO NOW I KNOW WHY EVERYONE SAID THIS WAS THE ALONE ON THE WATER SONG

GREAT

NOW WHEN I LISTEN TO IT I'LL SOB GROSSLY.

[gab4luxd]

You made me cry in 2 minutes... It's awesome *sobbing in a dark corner*

[Tinsanity2012]

I love this song!

What's name is this song??

[janesmith852]

@Tinsanity2012 "A thousand years" by Christina Perri~

[Tinsanity2012]

@janesmith852 Thank you !

[Hantemirova]

He's a great actor! I love it! Thank him for his great films: * I fell in love head over heels ..: (

[Yugiohlorie]

What were the clips that weren't from Sherlock from?

[geekchika13]

FUCK FUCK OH GOD WHY. I FEEL LIKE I'VE BEEN PUNCHED IN THE SOUL. THE FUCKING STORY WAS BAD ENOUGH, GOOD LORD NOW I NEED TO LOOK AT KITTENS TO FEEL BETTER YOU BASTARD
