Summary
The plastic bag of white powder is an event horizon. Every night he dances around it to the tune of the waltz he wrote for John, and some night Sherlock will tire of dancing and slam the giant Self Destruct button that beckons like an ember in the night.
But for tonight he sets the Persian slipper down on the mantel reverently and pours himself another coffee, middle of the night be damned. He stands at the window and imagines that through the smog he can see Venus, Cygnus, Andromeda. That maybe, just maybe, John is doing the same.
The idea that John may be in the Southern Hemisphere, looking at a different sky, hurts so much that he thinks it may kill him.
-----
After the inevitable confrontation with Moriarty, John leaves.

Summary
John doesn’t always think about the ‘The Decision’ on his way to visit Sherlock. In fact he tries to abstain from the thought entirely. No use inflicting pain on himself for no reason.
Today however, he is feeling particularly sorry for himself and he allows himself to fully engage and wallow in his memories of that regrettable ‘Decision’ as the train speeds towards the coast and the company of the man he has been in love with for nearly 30 years.
