________________________________________________


It's Alive!!!


It started just like another day at the office. If those existed at all.

The usual suspects were standing in the morgue, a dead man in front of them on a slab.

“He died at a barbecue. Seemed to choke and fell over. No signs of trauma.”

“Why am I here?”

John kicked his shin. Sherlock huffed.

“Why are John and I here?”

“He didn’t choke.”

Sherlock’s whole posture changed from indifferent to intrigued and he leaned over the body enthusiastically. No one even blinked when he sniffed the body thoroughly, that was one of his standard procedures. John was always ready to step in should he decide licking was a necessary addendum though.

Sherlock poked the body in the ribs (John was pretty sure this served no purpose at all) and the dead man used that moment to draw a rasping breath and sit up.

John cursed, Lestrade screamed, Sherlock stared. Molly though? Molly grabbed a metal tray and slammed it over the man’s head, knocking him out cold again.

If Lestrade hadn’t already been in love with her, that would've been the moment that he fell.

The next time they met in the morgue – although they all knew that the possibility of another not-so-dead body was relatively slim – until Molly made the first cut, they all held their breath.

Seriously, did you just have Molly practically kill someone who'd been unfortunate enough to be taken to a morgue when they weren't dead?
You are brilliant!
And yes, if I'd been Greg and not already in love with her, that'd have done it for me, too.

I have no idea where your brain goes.

Garden. That was the prompt. And this? This wonderful thing was the result?

I can't even.

Most of the time even I have no idea where my brain goes. ;)

Although I have to admit that I am pretty proud of all the 221Bs I wrote that week.

No one, but NO ONE can do with a garden what you can do with it!

Fantastically awesome :D

Mwahahahahaha! Thank God I wasn't drinking anything! But why would Molly do that? And everyone waiting for the first cut? Brilliant!

I don't know either how you got from 'garden' to here. (garden party, corpse, sherlock?)

Either way, you're silly and amazing and this reminds me of that one NCIS episode (or maybe it was another show) where Ducky went to do an autopsy and the guy on the table BLED and opened his eyes and aSFJDAKLSDFJLKASDJFS.

I have no idea how my brain works! ;)

Haha, I love NCIS! Can't remember that episode though...
