I'm not even sure the show itself has done such a great job of depicting what a craving Sherlock looks like. BC always tends to overdue it for me when he's demanding cigarettes.

I'm not entirely sure it isn't an extra layer of him overdoing it to persuade John, and it being more of a 'but I want it!' consulting five-year-old than actually need.

I actually really liked that Elementary switched it to heroin, it just makes more sense for Sherlock to want a downer vs an upper. I feel like he wants to turn his brain off, not dial it up to eleven because he doesn't have anything for it to do.

I can totally see this.

I have never had Sherlock be more unlike himself than in that fic. He's just so uncomfortable, it's excruciating. I feel it's in character, but it's squirmy even to write. He won't sit still, and he's having feelings and is upset that Trevelyan is awkward around him but totally not willing to admit that he's upset. He's using metaphors. It's mad.
