You certainly are a prepared lot! Thanks again to everyone for taking the time to detail your candles/torches/flashlights for me!
While I do see a pattern of sorts to the responses, I'm going to have to go with 'varies wildly' in the end. So Sherlock will not, magically, somehow know where to find the candles. The safety issue I cannot help in this case. Oddly, though I'm still writing in the 'you can imagine' verse where J&S are firmly of the epic bff breed, I'm typoing John into a treat, Sherlock is suddenly dropping to his knees in front of John, and now I have a roomful of dancing candlelight! None of this is actually romantic in context, yet somehow I keep looking at what I'm typing and thinking, 'hm. the shippers are going to have a field day with that.'
Have spent the morning tramping around downtown Toronto and am having a bit of a sitdown before setting off for what I hope will be a good cemetery. It certainly has a good name - Toronto Necropolis and Crematorium. Hopefully pictures later.

And that's fine, but sometimes I do think my brain gets a little carried away with the subtext. It almost feels unfair, like I'm teasing you.
Oh, btw, LJ's suggestions for replacing Johnlock are: John lock, John-lock, and johnnycake. So I am totally not the only one doing this!
