My final drabble for drabbles20in20 .  Author's choice.  WARNING:  Directly inspired by Skullcrusher Mountain.

My First (Real) Fangirl

“I can’t believe that even you would do this, Sherlock. She is the Prime Minister’s daughter!”

“Lestrade, she had broken into our flat nine times, littered it with stuffed animal puppies holding her photograph, and hidden herself ( Read more... )

The fourth of five author's choice drabbles at drabbles20in20 .  This one was technically inspired by Rascal Flatts' What Hurts the Most, but it evolved so much that the connection is not at all obvious.

Watching You

“For the past four years you have behaved utterly irresponsibly.”

“Mm.”

“You are thirty-three and have never been regularly employed.”

“No, indeed.”

“I ( Read more... )

Third author's choice drabble for drabbles20in20 .  Song-prompt was a DARE from labourslamp.  And I approach my fanfic with the attitude of a middle school boy, so I wasn't able to say "no."   Link appended.

Scene

[John Watson and Bill Murray seated at a bar, talking, laughing, and drinking. A chime is heard. John picks up his phone and huffs irritably.]

BILL: Him again?

Second Author's Choice drabble for drabbles20in20.  Darkish, but the weird song-prompt was... well... you'll see.  And I'll append a youtube vid.  Thanks to labourslamp  for the song-prompt and for advice on this tricky drabble.  Set during the "Deleting" section of Operating System.

Final food-related drabble for drabbles20in20.  I should never write when I'm hungry.

"Slows me down"

He closed his eyes as the juices filled his mouth. He did not analyze the seasonings. He was content to allow the medley of flavors to wash over him. (Beef not organic as advertised, but that hardly mattered.)

He reached for his perfectly matched glass of red wine ( Read more... )

Fourth food-related drabble for drabbles20in20.

Famished
“Why am I on the couch? What are you doing?”

“Because you fainted. And wondering when you last ate.”

“Five days ago.”

“FIVE? Sherlock!”

“You didn’t remind me to eat.”

“I was in Cardiff. How did you survive before I reminded you of these things?”

“I remembered to eat and drink. Now that I am burdened with a ( Read more... )

My third food-related drabble for drabbles20in20 .  A bit different from my usual, I suppose, but I have to write 20 drabbles,  so why not?

Simple

Time of death 11:20PM. Severe rash. Swelling of the throat. Anaphylaxis.

No peanut products in the kitchen. Peanut allergies. Scent of peanut oil on his lips confirms.

Slippers have clearly been on his feet since 11: ( Read more... )

Drabble for the prompt "middle" at drabbles20in20.  I couldn't resist writing it...  And for all those who are either too young or not American, I have embedded a version of the commercial that little Sherlock saw.

Dear Sir or Madam,

I preformed an experement for your advertesment I saw on holiday in New York about how many licks it takes for a tootsie roll pop ( Read more... )

A pair of drabbles for drabbles20in20.  First for the category "heroic" and the second for the prompt "minute."

In the Nick of Time…

He turned off the doctor’s voice that started to describe the effects of blunt force trauma to the head… and the possibility of brain damage or death…

Instead he shouted in his best soldier’s voice to get the attention of the huge ( Read more... )

Drabble for the genre prompt "historical" at drabbles20in20.

Happy New Year

It had been impossible to get a cab.

He thought of the milling idiots drunk on alcohol and the absurd hope that this year would be better-because it was the “new millennium” (as if the fact that the number of the anniversary of an inaccurately determined birth year was divisible by one ( Read more... )
