Summary
“Very well” Sherlock says with exasperation. “I’m not interested in that kind of relationship since I lack the necessary emotions, interests and skills that would prove useful under such circumstances. You are not interested either, since you are - as you are rather fond of exclaiming- ‘not gay!’. Therefore, I would say that it’s highly irrelevant.”
“What if you got one or more of those parameters wrong in your assumption?”

A (love) story in which each chapter's illustrating a psychiatric symptom, diagnostic criteria or psychological term while two men struggle to find some sort of balance in that odd thing that's happening between them.

Summary
“Not this again.” John’s voice shows exasperation. “We’ve been through this. I am not leaving just because you say so. If we are to repeat this whole thing again, can we please skip the parts where you’re slamming doors and disappearing for days and go straight to the part where we make out?”
And that is it, really. This is what had kept Sherlock from resorting to chemical solutions a few nights ago. This is proof that Sherlock might be as fucked up as you get, but John Watson isn’t far behind. And it isn’t that John doesn’t know what he is doing at this point. At this point, he knows enough to make any sane person leave without looking back. John, on the other hand, stays and makes black jokes about it.

In which love is not a solution, codependency might not always be the worst option and chaos is slightly similar to 'sense of belonging'. This is perhaps a love story, but it's also a story that attempts to illustrate psychological or psychiatric terms and theories. Most of all, it's a story about how two people attempt love when they are not quite prepared for it.
