Fic Search Help! (pls TTuTT)

I’m looking for a johnlock fic from several years ago, it was really popular but the name escapes me. All I remember is that it was post-apocalyptic with john and sherlock wandering a wasteland and the sun is slowly disappearing and everyone will freeze to death? And they find an abandoned baby and decide to care for it? 

If anyone remembers or knows this fic please let me know~ thank you!

Still raging at the dying of he light....

Well the comments from the US con CONFIRMED that the creators were queerbaiting. They state they had no intention of writing a romance, yet their product proved otherwise. They clearly were WELL AWARE of the growing johnlock fandom by s2, and could have redirected the show very easily in s3. However they chose to give us a clearly gay Sherlock and a pining, regretful bi John. S3 was overt, convinced many casuals that Sherlock was gay and in love with John, and set up expectations of John’s marriage breaking down and the possible romance of the two leads. If people didn’t see this in s3 it was a choice not to see it.

Sadly we are not at a point in our LGBTQ visibility as to where the uproar would be heard via the media (we tried) it appears that the LGBTQ press and advocacy agencies have a prejudice against fandoms. Nothing new there, we have battled that constantly for decades. The BBC closed ranks and defended their show, ignorant of any of the facts and refusing to consider our complaint. As a publicly funded organisation, I say Shame on You BBC! 

However, for our own sanity, our wellbeing, we need to move on. It’s a confirmed reality what the creators did in this show, and we learn from it and try to prevent it occuring in the future. Extensive post mortems on the dichotomy of what was delivered on screen versus what the creators have said is futile. They have chosen to opt for revisionist history of their show. End of. We need to see academic papers on why the creators could still deliver a clearly queerbaiting top drama show and get away with it, we need discussion forums in the LGBTQ   Community to examine this issue. And we need fandom studies to carry on with the question of female fandom visibility and worth.

I firmly believe Ben played Sherlock as gay and in love with John. I also firmly believe, and praise, Martin Freeman for giving us a John in love, confused and repressed due to how the character was written, but still desperately in love and  craving physical intimacy with Sherlock. THAT my friends must have been a tough endeavour to carry off under the nose of the showrunner. I believe Martin is as disgusted as we are over s4. I believe any further Sherlock projects will be a hard sell to Martin, and thus Ben. They remain my heros, for their portrayals of Sherlock and John they desearve all our respect.
