Ciao Molly. Do you like the wedding reception?

Ah, grazie!

Come? How I first met them?

I met Sherlock a long time ago, he helped me with a certain um, conflict I had with the police (yes, I might have strayed from the righteous path now and then).

After that he came in from time to time, always alone, seldomly eating, mostly just staring at my customers and scaring the hell out of them. I got used to reassuring them by telling that he was an artist searching for inspiration and offering a free drink.

And then, one cold and dark night, he came in with that short, blonde fellow. I might have overdone it a little that evening, but I knew immediately that this one was special. Sherlock never brought a date before. I think John might not have been aware it was a date, but I gave him a subtle hint.

They come here often now. They have their own table and Sherlock is so much more agreeable since he is with John. Ok, right, there was the time they emptied the place in five minutes with an epic shouting match. And the time I had to pretend that the bathroom was flooded, because um, well…

Anyway, I always like to think that my place is where they began.



Next 221b: The Woes of Wooing

AN: Welcome to my '365 days of 221Bs' challenge. I will write a 221B each day, for a year, following a prompt by atlinmerrick.
I will make a weekly post to the comm because I don't want to spam the list.

Everybody buckle up for the ride! Enjoy!

Today's prompt was 'Angelo'.

I love the last line so hard I may have squeezed the stuffing out of it. Also, I may have squeed when I read the words 'wedding reception.' Not loud. (Yes, loud.) (You heard me actually; it was in Costa.)

I think John might not have been aware it was a date, but I gave him a subtle hint</i MUahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah SUBTLE :D

hahaha, amazing, you two are just coexisting now, aren't you? One writing, one reading. How long are you staying in Berlin (or are you leaving in protest now because the the case of the missing toaster?)

Since Leda or Storm, or whoever she is today, just quoted my favorite moment to you, I'll just say how brilliant this Angelo POV is.

Now you'll have to excuse me, cause I'm imagining what was happening in that bathroom while closed.

A wedding reception ? Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee !

but I gave him a subtle hint
VERY subtle indeed.

And the time I had to pretend that the bathroom was flooded, because um, well…
You see, there's a flaw here. You begin to tell us an anecdote then you change the subject. How are we supposed to understand ? I think nobody sees what you mean and you need to explain this bathroom thing. At length. Please. :D

muahahaaaahaha, I am creaturing about with my split personality :D let me show you them.

STOP CONFUSING ME WOMAN!

VERY subtle indeed.
You and Angelo could be siblings regarding the subtle hints. :D

Never fear, I think Atlin is making me write about that some point along the challenge. ;)

Have fun! :)

[ledasdaughter.livejournal.com]

:p

can confuse you even more by using different icons :P

No secret is safe with Wendy... ;)

[anarion.livejournal.com]

Stop it! ;)

[ledasdaughter.livejournal.com]

hahahahaha, I think she was properly shocked.

[ledasdaughter.livejournal.com]

but it's fun ;)

[rox712.livejournal.com]

See if I care. :-P

[ledasdaughter.livejournal.com]

hahaa :D

By the lack of toaster? You better believe I was. However, we discovered Anarion's oven makes a perfect toaster if you turn the grill on to high. TOAST BLISS!

I originally read "come" as the English "come," not the Italian interjection meaning "what." And I thought, wow, Angelo, you move fast, considering that you and Molly seem to have just met! Fortunately, I figured it out eventually.

Thank you for reminding us of that scene at Angelo's in the first episode. Both of them look hot as hell in that.

I think we, your readers, agree that there needs to be a 221b where the final word is "bathroom."

[verityburns.livejournal.com]

I don't know how I missed this at the time, but I would like to echo Mirith and prompt for 'bathroom'... that is one deleted scene we NEED to READ! Maybe for the promised 'longer fic of the month'?

Tee-hee, I think Wendy mentioned the need for that too. Well, I say 'mentioned'...
;)

[anarion.livejournal.com]

Will see what I can do about that. ;)
