________________________________________________
Close encounters of the third kind
John looked at the sink in disbelief. Whatever ended up in there looked like it had been an alien creature before Sherlock set it on fire and then decided halfway through that he’d rather drown it before abandoning the project altogether.
The alien-killer in question lounged on the sofa and clearly saw no problem in leaving half-burned remains in the kitchen sink.
“Sherlock! What the hell?”
“Hm? Oh. That was an accident.”
“How often do I have to tell you that this sentence is not an adequate reaction to something like that? You should remember, you are a genius after all.”
“It’s not important. I probably deleted it.”
John carefully poked the slimy thing in the sink.
“Please tell me this has never been alive.”
“It has never been alive.”
“Has it been alive?”
“Yes.”
John pinched the bridge of his nose and sighed.
“All right, listen up, genius. I'm going to watch some telly and you are going to clean up your mess. If the kitchen is clean in an hour so that I can make dinner in peace and you promise to eat something, you can then take me to bed and suck me off.”
Would someone ask if the accidents were actual accidents and not just an elaborate plan to get into John’s pants, Sherlock would lie. Blatantly.
Next 221b: Brothers in arms
------------------
AN:
Today's prompt - courtesy of Verity Burns - was 'accident'.
This is your captain speaking.
I forgot to link to the accompanying piece to yesterday's 221B, the scene in the living room from John's POV. Chocolamousse said "The two fics are like a diptych, they make each other more beautiful, [...] because it's great to read the two fics together and to have the two POV, it makes you enjoy this one even better."
So for a better understanding, please go back, re-read yesterday's 221B and then click on the link in the AN to read John's POV.
Thank you and enjoy your flight.

“Please tell me this has never been alive.”
“It has never been alive.”
“Has it been alive?”
“Yes.”
It's hilarious! But, er... *is nervous* It was... what?
If the kitchen is clean in an hour so that I can make dinner in peace and you promise to eat something, you can then take me to bed and suck me off.
Ah, I see John understands positive reinforcement too! Cleaning + eating = sex. Yes, it should work.
Would someone ask if the accidents were actual accidents and not just an elaborate plan to get into John’s pants, Sherlock would lie. Blatantly.
Positive reinforcement again, from Sherlock this time: alien remains in the sink lead to sex. John will end up being turned on every time he'll see alien remains in the sink. That is science.
Very funny, and very IC. Sherlock's dismissive answers, John who sighs and pinches the bridge of his nose... I can see them! Great use of the prompt. Sex is better than angst. :D
I think it's "you are going to clean off your mess". :-) And don't quote me in your AN like that, it makes me blush! :D

Date: 2012-09-01 06:35 pm (UTC)I am in love with this 221B.
“Please tell me this has never been alive.”
“It has never been alive.”
“Has it been alive?”
“Yes.”
Also: John saying the phrase "and you can suck me off" may possibly sound like angels singing. Only better.
Dear christ I love this 221B.

"John looked at the sink in disbelief...'(me too, at that opening paragraph. You don't do cross-overs, but hoping like a hoping thing.)
'The alien-killer in question lounged on the sofa and clearly had no problem leaving-half burned remains in the kitchen sink.'
(But..but you don't do cross-overs. Still, pretty much how Sher...)
*Keeps reading and starts to squeee. While laughing(hard to breath doing both, need to learn circular breathing.)
'John pokes the slimy thing in the sink.'(sticks to just laughing, squees making me *hiccup* cross-over? still hoping.)
"Please tell me this has never been alive."
"It's never been alive."
"Has it been alive?"
"Yes."(pauses laughing for a moment to *fangirl* at Anarion",'cause DIALOGUE!, resumes laughing.)
"If the kitchen is clean in one hour so I can make dinner in peace and you promise to eat something, you can then take me to bed and suck me off." (drops ice cube down pants while laughing, yup, can multi-task when needed.){also. OH, that kind of "Close Encounter"}
'Would someone ask if the accidents were accidents and not just an elaborate plan to get into John's pants, Sherlock would lie. Blatantly.'
Hysterically funny. This.
Reads your AN "This is your captain speaking." Wait, Cabin Pressure? You don't do cross-overs. Stop teasing. :D
