shinka:

you can sum up the 5 acts narrative this way:

season 1: are we ready to admit we have feelings for each other and are we ready to confess?

season 2: john is ready. sherlock isn’t.

season 3: sherlock is ready, john isnt.

season 4: john will be ready only if he knows that sherlock is ready too, and tells him that.

season 5: yeah, we are ready to confess our love for each other.
