we can't giggle it's a folk band

Soooo Dad is in a mode that means the tiles we've had sitting around for the kitchen for the last ohhh month or so SUDDENLY HAVE TO BE INSTALLED NOW. The living room is in chaos. The kitchen is a post apocalyptic wasteland. Dad is cursing at the trim, Mom is pointing out that sane people would take things out of kitchen racks before moving them,

Yeah apparently Martin can't drive. Don't know if it's because he doesn't know how or if he had his license suspended or whatever but apparently Moffat tweeted saying Benedict had to do all of the driving because Martin couldn't.

Ohhhh, okay, I'm glad there was an actual reason besides 'Fuck it, Sherlock's taller, obviously he'd be behind the wheel.' But yay for reasons, this means I can come up with a headcanon! :DD

It did struck me as a little odd that Sherlock would be driving, but than again, maybe John didn't want to deal with Sherlock being a backseat driver. And he had his brother's ID to get into the base, so maybe he had to be driving.

Maybe John's knee was acting up, or lol yes, Sherlock as a backseat driver would be a pain in the ass--utterly silent until "YOU'VE MISSED THE TURN IT WAS TEN MILES BACK AND IT TOOK ME THIS LONG TO SAY BECAUSE I THOUGHT YOU MIGHT FIGURE IT OUT ALSO THERE WAS A ROADKILLED SKUNK UP AHEAD AND I WANTED TO TAKE A LOOK AT IT WOUL YOU KINDLY PULL OVER JOHN PLEASE AND THANK YOU."

I saw on tumblr/twitter that Martin can't drive, so I'm assuming that's the reason. I was curious about that too!

Good luck with the family band thing. It sounds lolarious~

[queenklu]

It seemed so weird, even my family--who are not as dedicated to character consistancy as I am--were doing a little head tilting. I'm glad there's a reason besides "Fuck it, Sherlock's taller." :DD

aaaaaugh family band whyyyyyy

I was shocked that Sherlock was driving. It's true that the reason for it is that Martin can't drive. Of course, I would have loved to have seen one of those H50 moments where poor John decides to move the car and can't reach the pedals...*LOL

I think, without the whole Martin thing, Sherlock's control issues would trump his tendencies towards distraction, so he'd be a driver. I bet his licence is either fake or nicked though. (I can hear him at age sixteen, nicking the keys to mom's porsche and telling Mycroft "Oh, please! Any idiot can drive a car! I don't need lessons any more than you need lessons on how to eat a cream cake! Off out!")

Di that happen in H5O?? I CAN'T REMEMBER D: Oh god, Danno and John in a room would be fantastic, bitching about their partners and all the crazy shit they get up to, and John would win hands down with "Head in the fridge" but Danny would come in a close second with "Suspect in a shark tank."

I can buy Sherlock needing something to take his mind off smoking, and driving giving him something to do other than obsess about it. And LOLOLOL OH MY GOD, I ACCEPT THIS HEADCANON AS MY OWN, CREAM CAKE LAKFDLAFLA

I wish I had seen it on H50. No, I think it's from a story. And speaking of stories:

A Man Does What He Must (Sherlock/H50)

and the sequel, where Danny and John commiserate:
Text, Context and Sub-text (or how Danny and John came to suspect that Steve and Sherlock were probably separated at birth)

And now, who's going to write the Sherlock driving story, you or me? *L*
