A younger Sherlock in his university days; I'd imagine he was cold and distant as always back then, but a bit softer and less suspicious of everyone's intentions. Totally awkward, ridiculously pale, too smart for his own good, and the biggest doe eyes you'll ever see. And lonely as hell, but pretending not to be. My poor baby! It's okay, you'll meet John later.
This is so, so beautiful. Such a gorgeous man, I never get tired of looking at him, and you've done such an incredible job capturing his younger self. I love your description. It's so interesting to consider what his childhood and youth must have been like to shape him into the man he became. How sad I am this is not available for sale!
