Fluff has jumped in to save the day writing Sherlock’s POV letters … as correspondence to John’s letter at the end of T6T!
After spending the majority of the week (and this past weekend) attempting to write not 6 but 7 versions of what happened next … I decided I was stuck in John’s head still, and here Fluff has Sherlock’s voice down, perfectly! She wrote a reply and made it all work (ty!!!)
To appreciate the irony in this: She is my insight to John’s POV 99% of the time - giving me perspective and clarity; and I am 99% more likely to look at things from Sherlock’s POV! Haha, so you have @fluffbyday-smutbynight to thank for the role reversal! I hope you will enjoy the back-and-forth as much as I already do!
CHAPTERS 2 & 3 ARE NOW UP!!! *SUBSCRIBE TO KEEP POSTED ON ALL UPDATES!*
In confessing to Sherlock why he’s not o.k., John thinks he will push away the one person he loves and cares about most …
For how could such a confession not?
But what if Sherlock had no idea what John was going through … until now? And knowing … he takes his time, gently … slowly … to show John that he is listening … ? And that he’s been here waiting … the whole time …
Absolute shit brother for not having kept in touch with her. To be honest, I’d given their relationship up for a lost cause … knowing the Watson history. Guess that speaks volumes about me?
She asked about you. How you were doing. Before she asked about Mary, and how I’m coping …
Probably knew I wasn’t about to answer. I needed another shot in my glass for that. Something stronger than hotel conference room coffee. And you know what I kept thinking? I was so happy for her … so proud! And yet, all I said was ‘good for you’ …
Good for you.
Like she’d won high marks on a test? Or adopted a puppy.
I’ve decided to begin a monthly newsletter to list happenings in the fandom, now thru Jan (*cough* *cough* copyright), because honestly … there’s a lot going on!! P.S. This newsletter will be inclusive of everything SHERLOCK (not only BBC!):
