I haven't really read a lot of the discussion about a Johnlock conspiracy, and in general, I have rather mixed feelings about the whole John/Sherlock pairing. I somehow like the idea, or rather the hints that it could be something there, but I do tend to see Sherlock as... maybe not asexual, but as someone who's got more important issues on his mind. Seeing him in a romantic relationship, whoever with, would in some way get in the way of the Sherlock I love, if that makes any sense.
And I love what you've done here, the way it's not important to define the nature of their relationship - I mean, I’m not saying you want to…to kiss him. Or maybe you do, I don’t know. And I love how one type of relationship is just as important and meaningful as another.
On a side note, this is in a way parts of what attracts me to Remus/Sirius as well. I do, obviously, love them together romatically, and I don't feel the way that I've seen around the place to explain why people aren't into R/S, that it somehow makes their friendship less valuable, implying that isn't enough - I don't think a friendship is more "worthy" than a romantic/sexual relationship. But - the fact that R&S are close friends and have been since they were children, makes their relationship (in whatever way you want to see it) so meaningful to them, and in a way, it doesn't matter all that much if it's one thing or the other.
And that's something I love about Sherlock and John as well. Love Molly's perspective here (and I also feel for her), you've made her voice and her insight very believable and beautiful.

Sorry for the rambling comment :)
