Sherlock drabble from Story Cubes

Jan 22, 2014 19:07



These are Rory's Story Cubes. They are very fun and you can play in different ways.  Today was a snow day so out came the cubes.

The above roll instantly told a Sherlock story, which I pared down into a drabble.

Spoilers for s3.  :)

The jet rocketed up; the world shrank away. The flight would take no more than three hours, so Sherlock closed his eyes, tried to stall his overwrought brain into resting, at least for a while.

His thoughts wouldn’t slow. He imagined John limping through London, no more midnight marathons.  Would an ex-assassin wife, a child, be everything John needed?

Nothing outweighed John’s well-being  -- his two years’ mantra, quartered.  Six months was a bargain, but no guarantee of John smiling.

Not enough data.  No way to ensure the positive outcome.

Jet engines roaring in his ears, Sherlock closed his eyes.

sherlock, john watson kicks all the asses, drabble
