Sherlock/John - Stay

Watch in 720p, it is way better!

Sherlock always manages to say the wrong thing and drives John away, when all they really want is to stay together. Indulgent slash.

I do not own the music or clips.

Music by Hurts, who I think wrote the song with this pairing in mind :) Thanks boys.

if they were gay, then it wouldn't be subtle in the original stories. So you can safely assume that any video or fanfiction that give a gay tone to Sherlock and Watson's relationship is purely fan made and was not intended by the author who made up the characters. I just saved you all an argument :)

@barbaro267 Personally, I don't believe that in the original stories ACD wrote them as a gay couple, however that is how it has been interpreted by some people. However, if ACD wanted them to be, he WOULD have made it subtle. Homosexuality was an illegal act - a man couldn't express his love or desire for another man in public or he'd be put in prison. Look at Oscar Wilde.

I hate you all so so so much. Why can't two male characters under any circumstances simply be friends without being gay lovers. Stop indulging your pathetic wishes on friggin Sherlock Holmes and John Watson. Next you douches will be saying the same shit about Stalin and Hitler or some other nonsensical pair.

[16queenielaura16]

@RayleighNoir First, there is evidence in the novels and films and television series to suggest that the two love each other, both as friends or as something more. This is a legitimate interpretation of their relationship. If you hate the idea of it so much then why did you watch the video?

Second, why on earth would we make a video about Stalin and Hitler. They're far too unattractive....

@16queenielaura16

No, it isn't a legitimate interpretation, you're an idiot who is looking at something originally written in the 19th century through a 21st century filter. There is nothing in the books to suggest any such relationship, you're fucking projecting your personal shlick fantasies.

Also, Sam and Frodo weren't gay.

Fucking morons.

[16queenielaura16]

@noodlezombie I may admit that there isn't much evidence in the books to suggest they were gay, but there are hints in this television series that they might be. And oh look, this is a video about the characters in that television series!

Also, I'm looking looking at it with a 21st century perspective because it's a television show set in the 21st century. Duh! My advice is you should think about your argument a little more before resorting to ad hominem attacks to make up for lack of content.

@16queenielaura16 that sure shut him up lol

Great vid! Btw, who cares if they were meant to be gay in the books? This is based on it, not adapted 100%. So this modern version can be whatever it chooses to be. Watson seems straight, which is fine by me since there're still enough shippy moments between him and Sherlock. ;) Also, um this is a "slashy" fanvideo, so..XD

[awesomelyizzy]

so awesome :) xx

[awesomelyizzy]

alright people, calm down...it doesn't matter if they're not actually gay, this is a fanmade video, and the videomaker can rlly do what they want...so let's all be friends and not get so het up about stuff that, to be honest, is pretty inconsequential, yes?? xx

[awesomelyizzy]

@RayleighNoir alright, calm down, if you don't like stuff like this then just don't watch it?? xx

[superkidflash]

@tailedcolors ...the first time I read it I came across this video right after. truly a huge mistake.

[tailedcolors]

Watch this video. Then listen to song while reading Alone on the Water. Cry your eyes out ;_;

[Aishwarrya]

Mute this video, and watch it with Tyrant by One Republic. Hope you enjoy it :)

The way Sherlock and John interact in the boos and in this show is friendship yes, but Sherlock in the books never found interest in anyone, and yet he expresses a deep emotional attachment for John Watson and cares about him and no one else, and that is reflected here in the show.

I can understand why people think they have a deeper connection than just friendship. To me, they're soulmates, they NEED each other to keep each other balanced, but they don't HAVE to be gay to be Soulmates! Ok?

Pause this video at 0:07, mute it, and open a new tab. Go to youtube and look up "Violet Hill Coldplay". Start that video at 0:11. Play them together. You're welcome.
