Squeee! Ooh, Author Anon, such riches!

Sherlock's inventory of John's behavior -- "I’ve observed him smiling spontaneously and walking upright with a gait that suggests contentment and lightheartedness. He has assisted me on cases, has laughed during danger, and has nagged me to eat and sleep. He’s watched YouTube videos of cats, and he has also watched a well diversified mix of porn videos." "Well diversified"! Yes, I might have snorted a little bit.

Sherlock wasting no opportunity to preen: "looks at me with utter amazement, like I’ve pulled a rabbit out of a hat (which, incidentally, I can do-it’s a very simple trick)." Yes, Sherlock dear, of course you can.

Aaaand I see that what Sherlock can't do with any skill is figure out just who John Watson might want a date with. This is great fun, mystery author!

(Alas, it's bedtime, so I have to save the rest for tomorrow morning, but I'm excited to have it to look forward to.)

Hello, dear snarryfool, I was relieved to hear that you enjoyed the first part of the story. It was my first time writing a story completely from Sherlock's POV. Glad you found his behaviours amusing. :D
