Aww. Hell, I'd walk 3.5 hours in a blizzard for that kind of ending.

Loved the detail of John wiping his nose on the muffler - that's how you do it if your hands are useless!

[monkeybard]

Thank you!

My thought exactly re: the muffler. Been there, done that. And feeling very glad that it's warm and sunny here right now. :-)

Awww, this is just perfect. Love all the details and Sherlock taking care of John.

[monkeybard]

Thanks so much! They are awfully sweet together, aren't they? *happy sigh*

Awww. Poor John! That kind of weather is miserable to walk through. Good thing Sherlock was waiting for him!

[monkeybard]

It's the worst when snow turns a short bus/train/cab commute into an hours-long, frozen-footed slog. John's very lucky to have a fellow like Sherlock at home on a day like that. :)

Fantastic! I love how you captured the chaos a snowstorm can bring to a big city, and the miserable slog homewards. And this is utter, sheer genius:

Sherlock flung the door open and swooped down on John like an angel with plaid wings

That's going to stay in my head for days. Well done you!

[monkeybard]

Thanks!

Hee hee! Yeah, that image came to me over my latte this morning. I knew Sherlock was the angel. I knew the wings were a blanket. And then I knew the blanket was tartan. ;)
