Why I write: taking joy in tragedy.

Sad is like happy for deep people.
~ Steven Moffatt, Doctor Who (Season [Fnarg-1.5], "Blink")
This is happening.  And it hurts, and it's amazing.  And I've been here for all of it.
~ Vaughan Sivell, Third Star
I'm fairly often completely happy.  Like, for instance, when you get into a bath and it's exactly the right temperature, and you go "ahhhhh"... because those sort of things happen all the time!
~ John Finnemore, Cabin Pressure (Season 1, "Fitton") 

( Tl;dr: Happy is boring, tragedy is beautiful, I don't want to be bored. )

YMMV.

Summary: Epilogue of the Youth of the Heart sequence. Sherlock and John go on with life, together
AN: A short one to finish, and that’s your lot. Thank you so much people who have stuck with this through all the angst - there came a point at the beginning of chapter four where even I, the evil author, wanted to fix it so that they could all live in OT3 land with a baby, but that was never where the story was going, and I do have purpose in my sad ficcery. Hopefully this is a bit of a balm after all the woe and grief. Thanks guys, it’s been fun!
