Summary:

"The idea of being sealed inside a sarcophagus was morbid at best, even if he did have John for company."

Trapped and awaiting rescue, Sherlock and John finally have a chance to talk about more than just a case.

---

The timing felt right for something along the lines of isolation and confinement, aka a closed coffin case. (Not to mention I’ve always been weak for the trapped-in-the-closet trope.)

Admittedly the setting is somewhat cold and cramped, yet the atmosphere is strangely intimate and warm, and the ending always makes me smile.

Feel free to enjoy in a blanket fort or without.
