John has an accident in the laboratory of the Baskerville military facility. While they wait for the scientists to find a solution, he and Sherlock must re-examine the nature of their friendship as they navigate daily life and the Work, all while trying to answer the truly important questions: Is it okay to pet your flatmate if he happens to be a dog at the moment? And how exactly do you beg a self-professed sociopath for cuddles?
“I opened my mouth, almost said something. Almost. The rest of my life might have turned out differently if I had. But I didn't.”
The Kite Runner (Khaled Hosseini)
Based on this post
It's cold here in the city,
always seems that way
I've been thinking about you
almost every day
I'm thinking about the good times,
thinking about the rain
I'm thinking about how sad it
feels all alone again
I'm sorry for the way
things are around here
I'm sorry things ain't
what they used to be
But more than anything else
I'm sorry for myself
I can't believe you went away
Our friends all ask about you,
I say you're doing fine
I expect to hear from
you almost anytime
But they all know I'm lying,
and I can't sleep at night
They all know I'm dying
deep down inside
I'm sorry for all the lies I told you
I'm sorry if I never let you know
But more than anything else
I'm sorry for myself
I can't believe you went away
I'm sorry if I took some things for granted
I'm sorry for the chains I've put on you
But more than anything else
I'm sorry for myself
I can't believe you went away

This John slept on all his anatomy lessons. Bones are one of the first things you learn to identify in med school (because they are the easiest structures to identify) and it's a tibia, not a bloody carpal bone.
And I think Sherlock has a overestimated idea of how good John is, because the John in his drug trip can break every bone while naming it and this one can't even say the name of the bone in front of him. Or something is fishy because this would be really out of character (like ridiculously out of character, like all the series).

John and Sherlock were only friends. Only until John begins to notice other feelings. Sherlock seems oblivious to John's affections, but when Sherlock demands they pose as a couple for a case, will feelings get in the way of their friendship? Will John be able to keep it to himself for the case, or is it possible that Sherlock returns the sentiment? Also, sexy times. FOR A CASE (?)

“I run away when things are good And never really understood The way you laid your eyes on me In ways that no one ever could And so it seems I broke your heart My ignorance has struck again I failed to see it from the start And tore you open ‘til the end And I’m sorry to my unknown lover Sorry that I can’t believe that anybody ever really Starts to fall in love with me”
Sorry (Halsey)
“What if I sang out these words, and they all rang true? I know you're with him for comfort, but I don't blame you Well I've been quiet, and it's been hard Give you love, that's what I do I'd show you love if you let me show you Telling secrets with every breath 'til there's nothing left I'll give you love, that's what I do That's what I do”
that’s what I’d do (Wrabel)
"Seeing you come to me should be catharsis but instead it takes on the colour of murder.
It is because you are the mortal one between us. More beautiful in your emotion, easier to kill,
All that energy inside you as quickly perishable as the entire lifespan of a butterfly.
Maybe this is why I wanted you, I had to grown cold with the responsibility for the sun.
Destruction was not what I intended for you but this is what happens to all who follow my wake.
Ask the sunflower who she used to be, She will tell you she was the mortal how felt in love with me.
This was the difference between ichor and iron. The universe made you closer to itself than us.
The water will take better care of you than me, let me melt your wings, you belong to the sea.
Now a stillness neither of us knew before. Now a softness no one can answer for."
Apollo to Icarus (Nikita Gill)
Note: I feel the need to explain my vision in this edit. I see some parallels between John in BBC Sherlock and the Icarus myth. For this I will divide the series in two moments: before and after the fall.
For those who never heard of Icarus myth the history is this: Icarus is Daedalus son. His father was the man that built the Minotaur's labyrinth. After the Minotaur's death, him and Icarus are condemned to live in its labyrinth. After sometime Daedalus build for his son wings made of bee wax and bird feathers. But he says to Icarus that he can't fly too close to the sea or the sun. Icarus doesn't obey his father, and fly too close to the sun. Because of the temperature, his wings melt and he falls in the sea and drowns. And Apollo is the god that controls the sun in Greek mythology (this is why the poetry refers to Apollo and not the sun).
At series one, John comes to London after being shot. He lost everything: his job, his function, his prestige. He is alone and lost in a city he probably didn't lived since college. He is traumatized, has PTSD, and is physically weakened. Then, one day a madman comes to his life and offers him excitement, a function, friends and sees potential in him, that no one else saw after his incident.
One thing about John: he is a writer. Unlikely Sherlock, who sees the human being in his true nature because of his deduction powers, John romanticise things a bit. And this is exactly what he does to Sherlock. He sees him as the character he writes: a detective hero that fights crime. He sees him as this ommortal and omnipotent character that save his life and a lot of others. He is so obsessed in making him looking human, because this is how he knows he is real. And this situation continue until the end of series two. He doesn't see Sherlock as human until after The Fall, when he is forced to confront Sherlock's mortality, because he doesn't come back immediately.
The character of Sherlock is John's wings. It was what saved him from his labyrinth. And Sherlock, the human being, is the Apollo/ the sun. He came too close to Sherlock without seeing. This is why his wings melt. He came so close that Moriarty considered him the most important part of Sherlock's heart, it was him that he threatened to burn when he said he was going to burn Sherlock's heart. Basically, is Sherlock who jumped and John who felt in that moment. Because Sherlock felt, just sometime later, in that scene in TAB.
Series three and a four are John trying to accept that his wings melt and that the character he built for Sherlock doesn't fit the reality anymore. It's him fighting not to drown in the sea. But differently from the myth, in this story Apollo saves Icarus from drowning after giving up his divinity.
Note 2: The process of Sherlock's humanisation is something that I don't agree with the way it was done. Through pain. I really don't like the massage it passes. There are better ways of doing it, and better ways of making a great person, a good one.
The big difference between the Canon Watson and the BBC John is that the canon Watson seeks a relationship with Sherlock Holmes the human being, not the character. He build him for the public's sakes, not his. And the BBC John's seeks a relationship with the character, not the human being, and he build the character for his sakes, more than the public's. And this for me is the biggest mistake of how his and Sherlock's relationship are represented on BBC Sherlock. And it's one of the principal things that destroys their relationship in the series.

“When I think of her, of Elisa, all that comes to mind is a poem, made of just a few truthful words, whispered by someone in love, hundreds of years ago: ‘Unable to perceive the shape of you, I find you all around me. Your presence fills my eyes with your love. It humbles my heart, for you are everywhere.’ ”
