Re: The comprehensive Johnlock guide (Johnlockers only)
What happens and how would the Sherlock episodes look if they give up Johnlock/gay jokes?
Here is an answer:
-----------------------------------
I cannot live without brainwork. What else is there to live for? Stand at the window there. Was there ever such a dreary, dismal, unprofitable world? See how the yellow fog swirls down the street and drifts across the dun-coloured houses. What could be more hopelessly prosaic and material? What is the use of having powers, Doctor, when one has no field upon which to exert them?

Haha, I saw that one earlier. Let's hope it continues like that!
Also, I found this on Tumblr, what I wouldn't give to have this as part of the new script:
John:Are you serious? Did you actually believe I would forgive you?
Mary:But you did, you said-
John:*shaking his head, familiar smile coming to his lips* Did I ever actually say the words 'I forgive you'.
Mary:No.
John:No.
Mary:I thought-
John:Well, you thought wrong! You shot my best friend. Did you actually think I would let that slide?
Mary:
John:No, Mary. That speech was just a ruse. To throw you off.
Mary:I don't understand.
John:Sherlock needed more time. We didn't want you to suspect anything.
Mary:Suspect what? Whats going on?
John:*hands her an envelope* I believe everything's in order. All you need to do is sign.
Mary:What is this?
John:Divorce papers, obviously.
Mary:This is what you want?
John:I've been wanting this ever since I found out the psychopath that shot my best friend in cold blood turned out to be my wife.
Mary:Then why wait?
John:I had to make sure you'd still let me see my daughter.
Mary:Why would I do that?
John:Because I have sufficient evidence that could send you to jail unless you grant me my rights as the father.
Mary:
Mary:You planned this.
John:Of course I did.
Mary:And Sherlock helped.
John:Of course he did. He wanted to divorce you of all parental rights but I convinced him otherwise.
Mary:Since when did he have a say in this?
John:Since the day he became my significant other. Soon to be husband. *eyes the envelope* As soon as thats taken care of.

Re: The comprehensive Johnlock guide (Johnlockers only)
Just have to say AG, I love your new sig!! If you're lucky Sherlock will give you belly rubs.
I want scratching behind the ears, too. And to lick his face. OK, I'll stop now.

Re: The comprehensive Johnlock guide (Johnlockers only)
Wonderful overview, thanks a lot SusiGo !!
There is a bit of true love in any true friendship, I suppose.
Sherlock (BC) has wonderful eyes and a brilliant mind, but I find John more manly and more sexy.
And together? Incendiary. Yowsa!

Here is an answer:
Very good. Well done. Well said. I agree.
And say what we will about S3, I liked its "brand" of johnlock a whole lot better than the jokes of S1 and 2, even though some of the scenes made me so frustrated, I wanted to sling a shoe at my TV, and I would have, except I like my TV and didn't want to crack its glass face. *rolls eyes*

Are these lines from a fan fic? I love it.
Jeeze, this is why we all write and read so much fan fic-- in order to fix the m-e-s-s in the actual show.

Interesting, in a heartbreaking way. As always when it comes to TSoT. 
Great find.

Re: The comprehensive Johnlock guide (Johnlockers only)
I think that the biggest and clearest reference to Johnlock to be found within the series itself, are these little exchanges:
John: We are not a couple.
Irene: Yes, you are.
John: I am not gay!
Irene: Well, I am. And look at us both.
And to Irene's last statement there, John doesn't argue. To me, this is the biggest proof out there, and it's written in the show itself. Not as a joke, but in a serious moment.

Re: The comprehensive Johnlock guide (Johnlockers only)
Yes. John does not insist. And after this we do not get any protests of this sort anymore (in series 2), most conspicuously not with the innkeepers in HoB.

Oh, that was lovely!
And very truthful! Spot-on observation!

What is the use of having powers, Doctor, when one has no field upon which to exert them?
