Summary
Sherlock can’t play, can’t compose the way he once did, not now. Not in this brave new world of John Hamish Watson and the muscle in his chest. Or: where Sherlock continues to fixate on John's heartbeat, and deems his lips to be the best means of collecting data on the pulse at John's neck; John, in turn, has a few questions, after his flatmate decides to tongue at his carotid pulse.
