Previous 221b: Castle in the Clouds


Today's prompt:

________________________________________________

A job to die for



She would be with him for the rest of her life. She knows that. Once he decides that she no longer has any use for him, he will have to kill her because she knows too much.

They are alike in a way and so very different at the same time. They are both more intelligent than the rest of the world, and emotionally detached.

She doesn’t care for anyone, but while he still sees different persons, to her they are just a mass of flesh. Names have no meaning.

They are both loners. Power is the only thing that counts.

No one comes between her and him. They are an entity against the rest of the world. Despite the fact that she works for him, does his bidding and his dirty work, she never feels unequal to him.

There is no physical side to their relationship, it’s all intellectual. And no one can ever take that from her. Only death. There’s no one like them.

Except maybe for the dark-haired one she calls ‘The Problem’. And his little pet soldier. She knows she isn’t allowed to touch them, he would kill her if she dared.

She is not afraid of him. But for now there is no reason to kill them. Yet.

She smiles and focuses back on her blackberry.






Next 221b: It never hurts to ask

*reads the title*
No no no, no dying please! *wants fluff*

You make her look like a monster. You take little things we know about her from the show and you interpret them in an extreme way. And it works! Gah, you're strong.

She is not afraid of him. But for now there is no reason to kill them. Yet.
WHO ARE YOU AND WHAT HAVE YOU DONE WITH ANARION??? Anarion writes fluff and lovely things and this... this is really scary. Oh my God there's a dark!Anarion and I didnt' know that. :D

That's very good! Very different from your usual fics but very good. But you'll go back to fluff soon, won't you?

P.S. I love the summary of your 221Bs in your post to sherlockbbc! :D

Well, now that you know that I collect bones and smuggle them home, my dark side should be obvious. ;)

P.S. I love the summary of your 221Bs in your post to sherlockbbc! :D
Oh, thank you! <3

Ooh... that was really creepy - in a good way! I love how varied you are being, one never knows what to expect, it's brilliant :D

[anarion.livejournal.com]

Ooh, thank you! I was a little unsure about this one, but I'm glad it worked!

[antesqueluz.livejournal.com]

Oooh! Evil!"Anthea" is scary!

*Blinks*aaand *Blinks*a little more,checks under bed,and in bath tub for pod people.*Blinks* Nope, is not alternate reality. *Blinks*

A surprise indeed, this was disturbing, dark, and illuminating.

Your brain seems like a tesseract, so many angles.

My brain is off-line, but when it reboots will want to Thank You for
BEST DAMN ANTHEA HAVE EVER READ!!! 'kay?

Brain's back. Wants to reinterate !!!"BEST DAMN ANTHEA EVER"!!!
{edited 'cause can't be said enough,nope.}

[anarion.livejournal.com]

Oh, thank you! Best Anthea ever??? *blushes*

I sadly have no idea what a tesseract is, will have to look it up. I hope it's a good thing. ;)

Here's exactly what you'd have seen one minute ago:

* Atlin hunches over 'puter, reads avidly
* Atlin gets to that final b word
* Atlin sits bolt upright and slaps her hand over her mouth

Damn it. Wow. Wow wow wow. Best. Anthea. Ever.

[anarion.livejournal.com]

I wish I HAD seen it!

Thank you! <3

Oh, you sneaky cow. I was totally uncertain until the end: thought it might be Irene ("more intelligent ... emotionally detached"), then Molly ("to her they are just a mass of flesh") ... and then I thought, 'It sounds so unlike Mrs Hudson that it's almost definitely her' ...

Clever, clever girl.

'It sounds so unlike Mrs Hudson that it's almost definitely her'
OMG, I would have freaked myself out had I pulled THAT off!

Oh, I wish LJ had an audio option, so that I could hear Mr Cumberbatch purr 'clever girl' at me. :D

Thank you for the sneaky cow! :D

[ilmariell.livejournal.com]

Awesome... Just AWESOME!

[anarion.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much, that's wonderful to hear! :)
