Saki, I dare say that John and Sherlock have tripped your muse? :) I really like this, it's evocative without spelling everything out, much like the show in that regard. I like how John is perceptive in his own way. Obviously not like Sherlock is, because no one is that perceptive (except maybe Moriarty), but perceptive nonetheless. I think that may be why John and Sherlock work so well together.
Leyo posted a gorgeous video on Meany's Sherlock post on her journal. I wonder if you've seen it? It was killer.
Yes, the muse is tripped. Hopefully, this will simmer down a bit, I am supposed to be working on other things (and then there's RL, but that's down the list a bit), but right now I can't get it out of my head! That's obvious, I know!
I do love the way the series has developed John and Sherlock. Their talents are different, but they complement one another so brilliantly.
It's so hard to stop when the muse takes hold of you. Which is why I'm ~5500 words into a Jeeves and Wooster fic. But if you're like me, you want to encourage your muse, and you feed and water it daily. :D Even if they want to write things that I don't...
Nice; in our day the lovelorn had to use a pencil and paper to doodle like that; John's computer is much better suited for his musings and you can just see him trying out the words.
Your words are lovely too - not quite sure whether you or John are more interested in his cheekbones, and the imagery in "The colour of the lamplight cooled as they reflected it" is super.
You pick up so much from the episodes. All I noticed was that that guy who used to be in Casualty or Holby or something was there. *Slinks off to try iplayer.
And Sherlock is going to read that untitled document, we just know that.
The cheekbone focus is interesting because the writers have emphasised it so much in the scripts. If I had to pick five top features to rhapsodise about, the cheekbones wouldn't make the list, (eyes, hair, skin, hands and figure would be the top five or maybe artful use of coat), but since the cheekbones were brought to all our attention so vividly, I must admit they are quite lovely.
I also think I'm afraid to touch any bit of the finale. It's so intense. It's that section of Romeo and Juliet that always makes me crazy when the one friar gets quarantined before he can reach Romeo and tell him about the ruse and Friar Lawrence doesn't reach the tomb in time either. Obviously, we all know the outcome, but it makes me crazy every time nonetheless.
Thank you so much for reading. (I'm very happy you liked that line. :D)
I am at least thinking of more of this. Seems this is the only thing I can do to help with the state the show left me in! Suspense? Yes, indeed. They have suspensed us to pieces!
Oh, okay, yes... I suppose, if you have to. I love it (I must stop saying that to you - you'll get bored *g*); but I DO! I love John free thinking on the keyboard, and that he centres each line, oh my, and the Poe reference and the way he moves so determinedly once his mind is made up at the end.
I do hope Sherlock carries on tickling your fancy, so to speak, because I love the way you're writing them. ♥
OK, I've had two enthusiastic requests for a continuation of this one and really the images won't leave me alone, so maybe there will be more. It's odd how these fics have all been so short, in marked contrast to my usual approach.
I need to get more screencaps because I recall seeing, but not in which episodes I saw all of them, several beautiful shots of the light playing off Sherlock's eyes (OK, the eyes of the beautiful actor portraying Sherlock so brilliantly, but in my mind they are Sherlock's eyes) and they brought that line to mind. Especially, the scene with Moriarty on the roof, but others, too, of a different nature.

Okay, it was artistically correct, tense, subtle, and understated....
But the show is already teasing me! Must you join in?
SO YOU'RE WRITING MORE, RIGHT? RIGHT.
My god, there was Sherlock reclining on a couch in a gappy silk robe. WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO ME.

Delighted you thought the imagery pleasing. ;)
