Previous 221b: A clean sheet


Today's prompt: welcome home

________________________________________________

Welcome Holmes


John paced the carpet in the living room. Twenty minutes to go until Sherlock was home. He had wanted to go to the airport and wait for Sherlock there, but the stubborn git had insisted that he would not take kindly to soppy reunions at the airport and therefore would take a cab and come home alone.

John had never been someone to feel alone without his previous partners but Sherlock was so deeply woven into his every move and thought that he felt pretty much abandoned without him.

He smiled as he remembered the last time he had been away. Sherlock had cleaned the whole flat and apparently driven all their friends crazy because Greg and Mrs Hudson had begged him to take Sherlock with him the next time he went to a conference.

Five minutes. John put on his shoes and jacket because he knew that Sherlock missed London as much as he missed John when he went away and so John planned on taking him out for dinner and then on a long walk through their city.

***

Three hours later they were standing on the Golden Jubilee Bridge, looking over the Thames, the illuminated London Eye and the parliament.

“Welcome home,” John said quietly.

Sherlock pulled him close and whispered into his hair, “It’s good to be back.”

I may have signed in relief when they were at last together again.

No, no, I totally did that. I did. Thank you.

This fic made me re-read, for the umpteenth time, your gorgeous Seville. I adore it. Because, unlike Anarion's Sherlock, I'm a soppy person who loves soppy reunion scenes. :D And when I say Anarion's Sherlock I don't mean... Hey, Anarion, put this man down immediately, he's John's!

*Pssst* Thank you Chocola, thank you my dear.

London, longing, Sherlock and John together again... I love that! It's not soppy but it's full of sentiment. (Although as for me I'm all in favour of soppy reunions, at the airport or anywhere else. :-)) Also, I think this fic deserves a "sophisticated title is sophisticated" tag! :D

This was perfect! I especially love the phrase:

'Sherlock was so deeply woven into his every move and thought'

- that's just gorgeous. Really excellent work, darling - I love it!
