Re: The Sign of Three Picture Thread
Turn over, John, just a little bit... and you can just give Sherlock a soft kiss onto his curls...
God, how can a Consulting Detective have such a sexy profile..?

Re: The Sign of Three Picture Thread
Hm, good point. And I always thought that had to do with the fact that he is so... uhm... clever and intelligent.

Well, yes, of course. But coming back to the profile:

Re: The Sign of Three Picture Thread
I know, I know! Every time I see a pic from those scenes, I melt. 
And love the others. Just wanted to share a bit of TSoT image love… and Archie, too. That kid was awesome. 
Here… something a bit happier with all of those boys I love… 
Also… huh… when I was looking for that awesome shot, I came across another capture of someone's… the neat slow-mo moment… but what have we here? More fascinating attention to detail, and/or a amusing, subtle comment to Sherlock's state, on his wrist? 
(also, also, Solar's pic with that particular shot of the background again totally reminded me of another interesting fan commentary, about the magpies: a running theme?)

Weren't we supposed to believe that Sherlock doesn't wear cufflinks? Or ties?

Re: The Sign of Three Picture Thread
I think he made an exception for John's wedding. And of course it might be a sign of how much he is out his depth and how far he is willing to go to make John happy.

Re: The Sign of Three Picture Thread
That is such a beautiful picture btw; how the light catches the glass... and Ben's hand.
I think the cuff link was for the sake of John somehow too; all part of the 'Wedding gear'. or battle armour.

Re: The Sign of Three Picture Thread
Okay, that was kind of intriguingly amusing. 
Here's several of you commenting on the gorgeous shot and light (agreed! love that slow-mo bit), and in reference to something different about his wrist, point out the cufflink. Whereas I was puzzledly wondering over (observing! ;D) the little brown patch. Definitely not the edge of a watch or something. Could be a band-aid, but can't help but wonder what they're hinting at….

And also, I would assume that John is wearing cuff links, too, and since the boys wear exactly the same clothes that day...

Re: The Sign of Three Picture Thread
I really like this scene where Sherlock can't believe that he is supposed to be John's best friend. As if he thinks "Is he actually talking to me?" When it comes to deductions he has to choose between possible interpretations or likely scenarios. Here he is totally convinced that he mentions John's possible choices of best man in the correct order of probability. I like it that John is not angry or calls him ignorant.

Re: The Sign of Three Picture Thread
It is a wonderful scene. Both their reactions are believable and heart-warming und very much in character.
