Authorly Update and One Word Meme Once More

[adaliafic]

So I'm finally all settled in here in my new place and at my new job. The whole moving process was traumatic for me, to put it mildly, but on the whole things are now good in the world of me. If nothing else, I no longer share a bathroom with anyone and I now have a pair of adorable (if neurotic) kittens

BBC Sherlock:

Burn for you [which just happens to be the title of the track I'm currently listening to!]

[wendymr]

And oh! oh! oh! New job???

[adaliafic]

Well, by "new" I mean the job I knew I was heading into for two years (b/c of my scholarship program) and that I actually started working at seven months ago, now. Though I am still in the "new kid" phase where I'm only just starting to get responsibilities that relate more to my job title than just to my general good computer/writing/speaking skills.

So apparently I'm a real working adult now. ::scratches head:: Well, not so sure about the adult part. I have a sonic screwdriver, R2-D2 bobblehead, ninja and pirate rubber ducks, and several small games and puzzle toys in my cubicle, the walls of which are covered in the paper airplanes I've made during various lunch breaks. :-D

[wendymr]

LOL! Would that all grown-up jobs were such fun :)

And two kittens as well? Very nice!

[adaliafic]

The job's okay, I suppose. Having folks visit my cube because I've become known as the one with all the toys and puzzles is brilliant, though. :-)

I've got two gorgeous American shorthairs named Anna (a golden tabby) and Ayla (a black tortoiseshell). They're a pair of sisters. I call them spasticats, or sometimes my little herd of yellophants. They keep me entertained and force me to actually get out and do my food shopping each week. :-D

Well, this wasn't what I meant to write. Moriarty crawled into my brain unexpectedly. So you get a drabble in the moment just before his phone rings at the pool.

You can’t tell if he’ll do it. Can’t read it in his eyes, on his face, or from the way his hand doesn't shake as he aims a gun at the explosives.

Will he kill himself, and John Watson, just to kill you?

You can guess but can’t know for sure. You thought you knew his mind as well as your own but were wrong. He’s managed to surprise you.

Will he really burn for you-willingly, happily-if he thinks it means you’ll burn with him?

You don’t know, and you’re going to have so much fun finding out!

[wendymr]

Moriarty... grr *g* Great drabble, though!

Here, have another:

You’ll burn, both of you, if you do this.

Worth it, obviously. Moriarty cannot survive, and if your lives are the price it’s worth paying.

Better just your life and spare his - but John’s the ex-soldier who can’t let go of battle. Just five minutes ago, he offered his life for yours, and meant it.

Unthinkable. If just one death accompanies Moriarty’s, it should be yours. You’d burn for John, willingly, if it would save him.

Tonight’s revealed information previously unknown about him - ridiculous, that John Watson has secrets from you, but he does: he would willingly burn for you.

[adaliafic]

Lovely, lovely! This requires a third drabble from John's POV, of course. Inspiration has yet to be more specific than that, however. ::contemplates it::

[dark_aegis]

Well, I tried to make this about burning, but John decided to be defiant.

So, here it is, fresh from John's blog:

I know what the press said. They lied. I know they have 'evidence.’ I don't have facts to show you to prove what I know without a doubt. I refuse to believe everything I know is a lie.

Sherlock didn't die in vain. I won't let that happen. He died because we're the stupid ones. The idiots he always complained about. It was easier, wasn’t it, to think he was a fake. It’s not possible to be that clever, that brilliant. Of course, it is possible.

You believed the evidence of your eyes. I believe the evidence of my heart.

[adaliafic]

::still wibbling::

Just wanna give him a big hug and tell him we believe, too.

[wendymr]

I believe the evidence of my heart.

Of course he does. Keep believing it, John! It'll be worth it in the end :)
