the promise of love

John may have qualified his involvement with The Woman to romantic entanglement many times to the point that his avoidance of her reaction seemed unnecessary, but in all the years of their rendezvous and their acquaintanceship, this was the first time those three words actually made their appearance.

He doesn’t know why but it made him fearful. Fearful to the point that he could feel bile rising up his throat, cold sweat drenching the back of his collar. He could usually survive days on end without food but right now, he could feel his body trembling, physiology a victim of his neglect. 

He always turns revoltingly human when it comes to her. 

With his nails digging into his palms at the harshness of his own balled fists, he decided to resolve the issue by facing the matter at hand. It was between him, her, and his own heart that was on the line and sooner or later he had to go back and confront whatever her reply will be. As soon as he gets over this perilous emotional takeover his body and mind are overwhelmed with, the faster he is to go back to normal – whatever that is. 

But could he really? Could he go back to the way he was? It felt like now his world is divided into before those three words escaped his lips and after it. It’s an insane feeling and he is not liking it one bit. 

Heavy steps. He walked up 221B’s steps with every fibre of his being hardening, solidifying, tethering every logical and reasonable cell in his body to face the situation at hand not with his heart but his head. And then he saw her, sitting at his chair by the fireplace, the curve of her lips tilting at his entrance. 

Vintage Sherlock Holmes and Irene Adler

AU take on Dr. John Watson and Sherlock Holmes’s conversation in TAB:

Dr. Watson: That drawer in your study. There was a framed photograph in it. I glimpsed it once. I believe it was of yourself and of Irene Adler.

Holmes: You didn’t glimpse it. You waited until I had fallen asleep to take my keys, opened my drawer and looked at it.

Dr. Watson: Yes, I did.

Adlock AU – Lady Godiva

“And what of the Lady Godiva of Coventry, who rode without adornment in proud defiance… and the man who was allowed a glimpse – by the lady herself – of the Woman in all her unfettered glory?

It’s what you do It’s what you see

Heaviest oil deposit’s always on the first key used – that’s quite clearly the three – but after that the sequence is almost impossible to read. I’d say from the make that it’s a six digit code.

There was an unfinished business. She couldn’t but come over, sneak in the familiar flat on Baker Street 221B. 

It was not the end of the world. Neither was it the very last night. The thing was just that there was no one to disturb them this time.
