Fic: 221Bee

[anarion]

I'm on fire! :D
Today I bring two 221Bs. Enjoy!

Title: 221Bee
Words: surprisingly enough 221
Pairings : Sherlock/John

Disclaimer: Sadly the characters are not mine and no money is made (that would be sooo cool!).

Summary: h/c, sad Sherlock with fluffy ending





221Bee

Sherlock is unable to sleep. He gets out of bed and walks downstairs to check on his last experiment. But it is still too early, he is gaining nothing except the smell of chemicals on his skin, which will probably piss off John.

He walks over to the window and looks down on the dark and deserted street. His eyes fall on a small dead insect lying on the windowsill.

It makes him think about the conversation they had a few days ago, about his dream of a cottage with a garden and bee-keeping. John teased him that he probably was the only person who would chose a hobby that made him face hundreds of armed opponents.

He looks at the striped cadaver again and sadness sweeps over him. What if John won’t be there anymore to share the dream? What if he got fed up with Sherlock and all the danger surrounding them? What if he left?

These are unfamiliar, unwanted thoughts and suddenly he yearns for John. He goes back upstairs, where he crawls in bed.

John makes a small muffled sound. ‘Mhm, you smell nice.’

‘Like what?’

‘Danger.’ Sherlock can hear the smile in his voice.

He pulls him close and Sherlock lets John’s warmth and smell and touch chase away the sad image of the dead bee.

So lovely. I like the bit about Sherlock chosing 'a hobby that made him face hundreds of armed opponents.'

Poor bee!

Buzzzzzzzzzzzz. Hummmmmmmmmmmm. Yes.

Thank you!

*Boat loads of swearing coming, arm yourselves*

FUCK ME TWICE. Jesus Christ. God damn it. Hell. And finally: FUCKING WOW.

Seriously Anarion may I tell you that that was bar none the best 221B I've ever read? As in absolutely fucking ever?

Why? Because you got so, so much of the characters into those wee 221 words, it was simply awesome.

* chose a hobby that made him face hundreds of armed opponents

- That's funny and at the same time extremely telling, because it's so true

- Then Sherlock's fear that John will leave him

- Then John saying Sherlock smells like danger—effectively refuting Sherlock's fears IN ONE FREAKING WORD.

I am saving this story to memories because it really really is the bestest 221B ever ever ever. Did I say ever? I meant to say that if I didn't.

Wow, I have never before been the reason for that much swearing! *beams*

Also:


WOW. Did I already say wow?
I am awed. And floored.

When I started to find my way around writing 221Bs someone called you the 'Queen of 221Bs'. So coming from you this is the most amazing compliment ever. Jesus Freaking Christ! *flailing*

Thank you so much! ♥♥♥

PS: Oh, and be proud, because you prompted this! I added an AN to give you credit. :)
And when you write your 221Bee the link to that will go there as well. *yay*

Also: You totally gave me a swearing!kink. *lol*

Sweary!Kink!

I am trying to break my swearing habit and it is so the fuck not working. Possibly because I've also given it to John courtesy of Martin You God Damn Wonder Freeman.

This fandom. This fandom.

P.S. You sure they weren't talking about someone else re: Queen of 221Bs? I mean seriously...?!

[anarion.livejournal.com]

Hm, re: Queen of 221Bs... I was pretty sure it had to do with you. Maybe I got confused and mixed it up and you said it about someone?

Doesn't matter anyway. You're one of the writers here I look up to the most, so your comment really means a lot. :)

Right now I'm listening "Paradise Coldplay." I think this song is perfect for the relationship of Sherlock and John and for this short but amazing and wonderful story!
