-joins you in the fandom group hug- I'm so glad I didn't watch this alone. I hugged my friend and wept all over his shirt.
Re: those gifs you linked: I didn't think it was possible to ship them more than I already did, BUT I DO. I ship them LIKE BURNING. (I'm inclined to think it's non-sexual but it doesn't matter because it's Sherlock and John and they belong together forever and ever, amen.)
I agree that what happened with Molly was mostly genuine. Seriously, how often does Sherlock ask for help? Ever? He relies on John and Mycroft for help, but that's not asking because he knows they'll always help him. It must have been a monumental act of trust and vulnerability to ask Molly with help on something so important. I don't think it's purely because she's competent (though he obviously does believe she's competent). Sherlock doesn't show vulnerability that way, not to anyone who isn't John. And he is so very vulnerable in that scene. That's real.
I want to rewatch it too, but not yet. I don't think my heart can take it.
