    Summary

    An android tries to understand love and grief.

    Excerpt:
    “Can’t an android have a friend?”
    “I am not sure—“ Here my voice seemed to malfunction, wobbling and broken-sounding. “I am made to be self-sufficient. What would be the purpose of friendship, for a machine?”
    “You’re not a machine, Sherlock,” John Watson said. “Machines can’t be happy or sad. And there are many purposes for a friend.”

    Summary

    As Sherlock stands on the roof, preparing to fall, John confesses that he loves him.

    “Don't, Sherlock. Don’t die.” Then, almost inaudibly, “I love you.”
    I hesitate, almost say it. It’s what I’ve wanted to say for so long. To hear him say it now— but the snipers are watching. There’s no time. One of them will kill John before my eyes if I don’t do this now.
    “Goodbye, John.” I throw aside my phone, spread my arms and fall forward.

    Summary

    “Why do you suddenly think we’re in a relationship?”

    “Cosmopolitan.”

    “Cosmopolitan,” John repeated.

    “You have ears. Congratulations, John.”

    “Don’t be a jerk. You are in my bed, interrupting my sleep, and claiming to be my boyfriend.”

    or, Sherlock seems to think he and John are in a relationship. He has the Cosmo articles to back it up.
