Today's prompt:
________________________________________________
Buried Alive
He was lying flat on his stomach.
“Stop moving.”
John was only half-conscious but Sherlock’s voice – somewhat muffled – came from somewhere next to his left ear. He opened one eye and could see exactly nothing. He didn’t bother to open the other one.
He couldn’t feel his left arm, so he tried shifting his weight and turn around. Something was pressing down on him.
“I said ‘Stop moving.’” Sherlock’s voice was clearer now.
John grumbled and tried moving again. Sherlock’s hand slid over his shoulder and pressed him back down.
“Are you listening?”
“Not really. I can’t feel my left arm.”
“I can. It’s pressed into my stomach.”
“I need to move it to get the blood flowing again.”
“Not a priority right now.”
“Yeah, Sherlock, it kind of is. Let me turn around.”
“No.”
“This is ridiculous. What are you? Five?”
“I’m comfortable.”
“Isn’t that nice...”
“You always chide me for not sleeping enough. Now that I am you’re not content either.”
“You’re not sleeping. You’re talking to me.”
“Irrelevant.”
“Sherlock. I promise you can lie down on me again in a minute. Please let me move.”
“If you insist.”
“I do.”
“Fine.”
The weight disappeared and John turned around. A second later, Sherlock’s head resting on his shoulder again, John’s feet suddenly went cold.
“And stop stealing my blanket!”
Next 221b: Caring Is Not an Advantage
------------------
AN:
Today's prompt was 'pillow'.
You might have noticed that I removed the b-word spoiler for this one again. Were you worried in the beginning? *evil grin*
Anyway, that made me wonder. Do you read it before reading the 221B? Always? Sometimes? Depending on what?
TELL ME! :D

Ha ha! Oh, come on, no, absolutely not, you can't fool me like that. *looks away awkwardly*
Do you read it before reading the 221B?
Always! Because ANTICIPATION TIME! But I also love it when you surprise us as you do today. So... It's all fine! :-)
*sees your current mood*
*hugs you*

Date: 2012-06-03 09:44 pm (UTC)If the prompt is clear at the beginning, I'll read it, but if it's blanked out or left until the end, no, I never read it. I like to be surprised.

Date: 2012-06-05 12:11 pm (UTC)I do usually read the prompt in advance, just because I like to guess at what you'll do with it... I'm not telling you my success rate, but it's not great!
