“Then you could cherish the look of surprise on my face.”
I just love how he ties everything back to something Sherlock says or does. He’s literally his muse and draws influence from the details Sherlock incidentally creates. Using a replica of the pink phone from the cabbie case on other cases, the Bach inspired keycode from their nerdy moment of bonding, naming himself ‘Richard Brook’ after the case that made Sherlock’s name, even his own death was customized using Sherlock’s off-handed input. “What if I was to shoot you now? Right now?” “Then you could cherish the look of surprise on my face. Because I’d be surprised, Sherlock. Really, I would. And just a teensy bit disappointed. And of course, you wouldn’t be able to cherish it for very long.” And that’s basically what happened, even down to not being able to “cherish” the moment because Sherlock’s own death awaited him. I can’t wait to see if Sherlock is “a teensy bit disappointed” Moriarty didn’t take him up on his offer to play games until Hell’s gates greeted them. I long for nothing more in series 3 than for Sherlock to come to terms with a world in which he has to settle himself down a bit because he won’t find another “Moriarty”. His self-acknowledged equal is gone, and trying to find someone else to fill that gap will only make him more unsettled because it won’t be the same.
But there’s just something so…not romantic necessarily, but oddly poetic in thinking that Moriarty let Sherlock inspire his own way out. He wouldn’t give him the pleasure of actually being the one to do it, but it makes sense he’d have a hand in its execution in some way. No one ever gets to him, but there’s always been a direct, one-way tunnel open between them because if there’s one person Moriarty wants to get him, it’s Sherlock. The extension of his phone number and showing up whenever he asks to meet is all proof of that considering he typically stays above it all. For Sherlock, though, he absolutely gets direct. He gets his hands dirty, he detangles that spider web, he exhausts his entire physical being just for him. Closing that gap between them comes at a price of destruction on both ends, and I think Moriarty always knew that. Everything he did was always with Sherlock in mind, so why would his death be any different?
#tw: sherlock/moriarty feels #tw: moriarty feels #tw: sherlock is going to be forever alone intellectually feels #And you know Sherlock kind of mirrors these actions too speaking of him #with setting up a meeting at ‘the pool’ where it all started #and repeating back Moriarty’s words and actions to him in some attempt to one up him #It has that same feeling of customization for the other person #Moriarty likes to watch him dance and Sherlock likes dancing for him lbr #Of course Sherlock doesn’t dance just for him though cause he gotta make them dollar bills #but it certainly helps knowing whenever Moriarty shows up to the strip club that he’s always gonna toss out the biggest rewards #…did I just say that? Yes I did. #Remind me not to have feels 6 in the morning anymore
