The gods envy us. They envy us because we’re mortal, because any moment may be our last. Everything is more beautiful because we’re doomed. You will never be lovelier than you are now. We will never be here again.

— Homer, The Iliad

#so utterly defeated in his triumph #this opening bit of the rooftop scene is heartwrenching #he’s unraveling and falling apart #i love that he’s unafraid to show sherlock this fragility though #who else could he possibly turn to in this despair? #sherlock is where he goes to for comfort #even when sherlock is the direct cause of the pain that requires comforting in the first place #heartbroken and disappointed as he is #sherlock is still the only person he could allow this before #sherlock is the only person to him period #and even as he sits here thinking him as ordinary as the rest of them that still doesn’t change #even when he’s a disappointment he’s the one who got the closest #fuck
