Fic: 221B - Unexpected sight



[livejournal.com profile] atlinmerrick, [livejournal.com profile] arianedevere, [livejournal.com profile] mirith and I met in London. Hilarity ensued. Let me just say that we will probably never ever be allowed to sit in the NT bar ever again. For details check Ari's account of the afternoon. ;)

In the end we came up with three things everybody had to put into fic somehow. This is the first sentence, the second one will follow in another 221B. The third one nobody remembers...



221B - Unexpected sight

It had been a close call. Really close.

Sherlock was very sure that he could not have held on to the unconscious John or the pier any longer. And the Thames was cold this time of year.

He had never before been so thankful to see Lestrade and Sally Donovan. Maybe even Anderson, though he was not sure about that. [Why was Anderson there anyway? Why was Anderson anywhere anyway would be the better question!]

So when John finally opened his eyes again and looked at him, he threw caution to the wind and kissed him openly.

Sally and Lestrade stared at first, I will give you that. Then Lestrade smiled happily and Sally looked mildly uncomfortable at the sight of Sherlock stripped of his cold mask, clearly shaken and distressed at first and then utterly relieved. So very human.

Then a perplexed voice came from behind.

“Why are they kissing?”

“We did just save them from imminent death.”

“Yes... but WHY are they kissing?”

“Well, Anderson, when an army doctor and a consulting detective love each other very much...”

Anderson looked like he might be sick. “Please, just stop right there.”

After a while the ambulance with Sherlock and John drove off and Sally and Lestrade left too. The only one still standing on the pier was Anderson, looking bewildered.

AN: You can find Ari's fic here, Mirith's here and Atlin's here.

Ladies, I had a wonderful time with you and I can't WAIT to repeat this! *hugs you all fiercly*
(I have been informed by a very reliable source that I give really good hugs!)

Ari, I kinda stole your title, because I could not think of one...

Bwahahaha! This makes me giggle. Poor Anderson. If I were him, I would demand a more thorough, in-depth demonstration of army doctor/consulting detective love. No, wait: that's if I were me. Carry on.

You picked the perfect word to end this fic, and I loved your sentence about "Why was Anderson anywhere anyway?"

It was such a pleasure to meet you and the other two charming women. Hope you are still having a great time in London.

Aaw, you! :D

Glad you liked it, can't wait for yours! *bounces*

Yes, it was indeed great to meet you, I hope to see you again sometime! <3

I think that the stolen title fits perfectly here!

Perfect and funny fic. That must have been a hilarious meet up you guys had there.

[identity profile] anarion.livejournal.com 2011-10-08 10:28 am (UTC)(link)
Hee! Thank you!

It was indeed hilarious! :)

I just get more and more jealous every time I read one of these, but at least I have the delightful stories to cheer me up.

Brilliant stuff - I am always well up for a bit of Anderson bashing, and you did it beautifully :D

[identity profile] anarion.livejournal.com 2011-10-04 05:42 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes, well, we were asking us all the time why you had to come to weeks early... ;)

Now you know how I felt when you were here. *hugs and gives cookies*

[identity profile] anarion.livejournal.com 2011-10-04 05:41 pm (UTC)(link)
Right back at ya! <3

[identity profile] just-jane-doe.livejournal.com 2011-10-04 06:22 pm (UTC)(link)
That is so utterly sweet... When an army doctor and a consulting detective love each other, indeed!

[identity profile] anarion.livejournal.com 2011-10-08 10:32 am (UTC)(link)
Isn't the sentence just lovely? :)

Thank you for the lovely comment!

[identity profile] nitroglycerin-x.livejournal.com 2011-10-04 06:50 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, this is so, so lovely. And funny! Brilliant job.

[identity profile] anarion.livejournal.com 2011-10-08 10:32 am (UTC)(link)
Thank you for that shiny comment! :)

[identity profile] uwsannajane.livejournal.com 2011-10-04 06:53 pm (UTC)(link)
I love this one as much as Ms. DeVere's! Which is saying a lot. It's especially funny that it's Anderson asking - I can just hear his voice and tone.

[identity profile] anarion.livejournal.com 2011-10-08 10:30 am (UTC)(link)
Thank you so much!

When we decided to put this sentence into fic, I knew immediately that it had to be Anderson who says it. Glad it worked! :D

[identity profile] omletlove.livejournal.com 2011-10-04 08:33 pm (UTC)(link)
Ahah, poor Anderson indeed. He needs a powerpoint is what. Your 221Bs are always such a pleasure, thank you!

[identity profile] anarion.livejournal.com 2011-10-08 10:33 am (UTC)(link)
Tee-hee, a powerpoint! *giggles*

As always: wonderful comment! Thank you! <3

Hey, nice story.

[identity profile] anarion.livejournal.com 2011-10-08 10:34 am (UTC)(link)
Thank you so much! Glad that you liked it. :)

[identity profile] zephyr-macabee.livejournal.com 2011-10-05 12:14 am (UTC)(link)
poor Anderson, always so far behind. You made me laugh!

[identity profile] anarion.livejournal.com 2011-10-08 10:34 am (UTC)(link)
Yay, I love making people laugh! :D

For the win!

[identity profile] atlinmerrick.livejournal.com 2011-10-05 02:18 am (UTC)(link)
Oh that's just perfect. Of course *Anderson* would be the one to mutter the inevitable "Why are they kissing...?" Of course he would, the silly git.

Now I really, really have to do my homework, don't I? Okay. Will start it on the plane during my 90 minute flight from San Francisco.

Also, you do, you really really truly do give the best hugs and I just regret I only got two or three (or was it four?). Anyway, next time you might as well pretend we're dating because I am going to request hugs for no reason so I can stock up on those wonderful delights.

God it was great meeting you at last! More! MORE!

Re: For the win!

[identity profile] anarion.livejournal.com 2011-10-08 10:47 am (UTC)(link)
LOL! Sleeping with Verity, non-stop hugs from me... This is turning into an orgy! :D

And yes, MORE! January can't come soon enough!

[identity profile] pineapplepeople.livejournal.com 2011-10-05 11:25 am (UTC)(link)
HAHAHAHA! Oh, Anderson! I loved Lestrade's explanation!

[identity profile] anarion.livejournal.com 2011-10-08 10:48 am (UTC)(link)
Hehe, that sounds like you had fun reading. Happy me! :D

Thanks for the comment. <3

[identity profile] arianedevere.livejournal.com 2011-10-05 07:34 pm (UTC)(link)
Aww, this is adorable! And we definitely need to all get back together again - if only to try and work out what that third line was!

[identity profile] anarion.livejournal.com 2011-10-08 10:49 am (UTC)(link)
Yes, YES! We need to all get back together again! *bounces*

Alright I can tell you this: no, I don't remember almost anything from last night (as far as you can call ten in the morning "night"). But I feel downright compelled to assure you: this fic, this adorable piece of writing right here, it did make perfect sense. And frankly, how can you even wrap a whole story in so few of lines?!

Either way, I envy you your London adventures very much... :(

Also, this is the sentence that definitely won today's round of best things in my life: "Why was Anderson anywhere anyway would be the better question!" (You won't mind if I put it as a title to my Tumblr blog (http://sheltinka.tumblr.com/) for a while, will you?)

[identity profile] anarion.livejournal.com 2011-10-08 10:52 am (UTC)(link)
Thank you for that lovely comment!
I am very glad it made sense after all. :D

And the part about putting the Anderson sentence on your tumblr made my day! *beams*

[identity profile] shel-chan.livejournal.com 2011-10-08 03:56 pm (UTC)(link)
Haha, okay then! You're welcome. I apologise again for the initial confusion ;)

[identity profile] darthhellokitty.livejournal.com 2011-10-09 03:37 am (UTC)(link)
“Well, Anderson, when an army doctor and a consulting detective love each other very much...”

Perfect. Absolutely perfect.

I am dead of envy over the great London meeting of the fanfic minds...

[identity profile] anarion.livejournal.com 2011-10-15 10:38 pm (UTC)(link)
Aaw, thank you!

Yes, the meeting was indeed fabulous! :)
I wish we could have a meeting sometimes with everybody!

[identity profile] ellie_hell.livejournal.com 2011-10-15 10:23 pm (UTC)(link)
Could someone please explain life to Anderson?

Is the sentence you had to use when an army doctor and a consulting detective love each other very much...? I'm pretty sure I've seen it in another story recently, although I can't remember which.

[identity profile] anarion.livejournal.com 2011-10-15 10:39 pm (UTC)(link)
Haha! I don't think that is possible...

Yes, that is the sentence! Did you read Atlin's 'First Blowjob in Public'? It's in there. :)

[identity profile] ellie_hell.livejournal.com 2011-10-15 10:49 pm (UTC)(link)
No, that's still on my reading list. I think it may have been on Fanfiction.net... Perhaps it had nothing to do with this, perhaps it was a completely different sentence, but I just had this vivid déjà-vu when I read that.

Maybe it's just an amazing thing to include in a fic :D

[identity profile] anarion.livejournal.com 2011-10-15 10:53 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, on FF.net. I might have been 'Heat Wave' from Mirith? Not sure what her FF.net name is.
