Previous 221b: Every beginning is an end


Today's prompt: crutches

Every end is a beginning


That one and no one else.

He had known from the first glimpse, from the moment he had limped into the lab. How? He wasn’t sure. It was a gut thing.

“Excuse me? You did what? We don’t follow our gut. What is that even supposed to mean? We follow logic and rationality. That’s how it’s always been.”

Mycroft said that the next day and he was right of course. Sherlock Holmes had never followed anything else than his brain. Not emotions, not fantasies and certainly not his gut.

But with this man he had. He had seen the strength, the pain, the fear, the stubbornness and the kindness behind those blue eyes and had decided right away. He was going to be able to put up with Sherlock, he would not be afraid to speak his mind, maybe he would even like him eventually.

The crutch obviously had to go, he was no use limping. That was the first thing he would work on.

So a Holmes never followed his gut? Maybe some things needed to end eventually, Sherlock thought.

He had stridden into the morgue to get his riding crop and had been looking forward to seeing John Watson again the next day so much that he hadn’t even been annoyed by Molly who had followed him around befuddled.

Never be sorry for this wonderful little glimpses that you are giving us! Even if they are pre-slash they are part of their history. I always wondered how Sherlock knew right away that John is the one.
