For the King of Bohemia 4/4alex_caligariJune 7 2012, 18:48:50 UTC
The pub erupted into applause.
Dimmock went back into the welcoming arms of his colleagues amid cheers and offers of drinks while Sherlock slid quietly down the table back to his seat. He put away the violin and bow before taking a long pull of his whiskey sour. He finally noticed John staring at him. “Yes?”
“What was that?” John asked.
Sherlock shrugged. “I needed to test out the strings,” he said. “They are very well done; I think I will use their services again.”
“You’re a maddening berk, you know that, right?”
Sherlock smiled. It was the kind that appeared when John called him an idiot. “I know. But I like to keep them on their toes.” He looked out on to the table. Conversation had returned, and there was a cheer about them that only came from doing something completely ridiculous and loving it. Glances kept shooting their way, but they were curious rather than suspicious.
“I hope I never figure you out,” John said, only half to Sherlock.
Sherlock grinned into his glass. “I think I can do that.”
One glance was all it took to break the semi-serious tone they had been maintaining. As they dissolved into laughter, John thought, He’s right; normal is boring.

OMG - gahriocmggsiuyncvsluiyctlakyxcugh
You've done fandom the ultimate honour of combining a song such as Bohemian Rhapsody and Sherlock BBC without dissolving your story at all or drawing out the descriptions to the point of the piece loosing fluency.
I read this as I played the youtube link, each section of the story basically falling into place as I read your fill along with it.
Perfect.
I'm now in utter bliss at having found such a piece. Well done

I read this/ listened to it near 15 times
So addictive - I didn't even know that the violin could match the piano that well!
