john watson + blamed for shit that isn’t his fault
john watson, who probably spent two decades pulling his sister out of bars and ignoring her while she slurred about golden boys and goddamn expectations
john watson, who spent four terrified hours sitting in a pool changing room thinking if sherlock dies here, it’s all my fault
john watson, who spent two years of therapy and moderate alcohol abuse attempting to convince himself that it wasn't his fault he couldn’t stop his best friend from killing himself
(just a little more time
just a little more faith
if only he'd known what to fucking say)
john watson and his fucking trust issues because the first person he’s unable to trust is himself
