Wow, what the hell?  I don't know why the cut did that, and I don't know how to get rid of it, so...well, it works just fine.  All of them...

*wipes at face* No, no I'm not crying ...

At first I was thoroughly confused because the bits were out of order but I understand now and It's so sad and BEAUTIFUL. And I love the little flashbacks that Sherlock has.
You are amazing, keep writing!

[thesardine]

Thanks!

Hm, though...it's a bit disjointed, but I intended the events to be generally in order. Unless you mean the flashbacks?..which are intentionally out of order... Well, as long as it made some sort of sense!

YOU BREAK MY HEART A LITTLE EVERY TIME. it's cool, though, I dig it. ♥

[thesardine]

And it started as fluff, too! Oh well.

Poor John is going to die of a heart attack from some damage Sherlock has done to himself one of these days...

That was hard to read but I couldn't tear my eyes away.

[thesardine]

Thank you! (Would you believe that this was supposed to be fluff? Oh fandom, how you have warped my sense of 'warm, fuzzy feeling. D:)

[pennypaperbrain]

I think it qualifies as fluff! Nutter fluff possibly. It's a very credible interpretation of Sherlock in his down periods, though he doesn't seem to be quite this bad all the time. I like the way you mix very concise snippets together; having to work to stick them into a whole is satisfying.

Made me want to shake Mrs Hudson to stop her enabling him, though.

[thesardine]

Oh, poor Mrs. Hudson doesn't know he's shamming sick, and if she suspects it, well, she's hardly going to turn him away - it's the only way he knows how to ask for some TLC! Is it healthy? Well...no. I don't think Sherlock would know healthy if it injected him with morphine and rolled him down a hill.

[pennypaperbrain]

I think she should be able to see through him at her age! Maybe she can and perceives that he needs TLC anyway.

[thesardine]

I think it's a little bit of both. The guy can cry on cue and can sham his way into anything, but Mrs. Hudson does know him. At the very least, John has figured it out. ;)
