5. Joan looks down at Sherlock’s grave. This gif is in black and white: until death do us part
Sherlock Holmes doing what he’s always done...waking up Joan Watson. I love these scenes! This is in many ways one of the subtle(st) ways, yet one of the loudest/most invasive ways.

1. Joan grins as she looks at a standing beehive. Sherlock sits quietly behind her. - [you light the world for me]
2. Joan and Sherlock sit next to each other on chairs. He stares forward, clearly bored; she claps and smiles with excitement. - [you live life fearlessly]
3. In a park, Joan steps back after using her baton to knock someone down. She looks pleased with herself. - [braver than the bravest of us do]
4. Sherlock looks to the side as he talks. Perspective shifts to a smiling Joan. - [you trust, you hope, you dare]
5. Sherlock stands still as Joan pulls him into a sideways hug. Her eyes close. - [you choose to feel and care]
6. Joan stares at Sherlock with a small smile. Perspective shifts to Sherlock giving her a serious yet caring stare. - [I thought that I was strong ‘til I bumped into you]
