-x-
If there’s anything
I can do, Dr Watson,
just let me know.
Thank you.
-x-
Do you need help
with the funeral
arrangements?
No, thank you.
I miss him too.
I know. I’m sorry.
How are you?
I get by.
And Mycroft?
I don’t know, he’s
Mr Holmes.
-x-
The funeral is on
Friday at eleven.
Thank you.
He would have
wanted you there.
He would have thought
of it as a sentimental
waste of time.
Yes, he would have.
I’ll be there.
Could you tell Mycroft
for me?
Of course.
Thank you.
I can’t stand the thought of
him right now. I think I
might actually hate him.
I don’t think he minds.
How can you still
work for him?
Sherlock used to ask
me that all the time.
What did you say?
Something inappropriate,
most of the time.
I never really
understood your
relationship.
Neither did I, Dr
Watson.
-x-
John invited me
to your funeral.
If this is a joke,
it's cruel, and not
at all funny.
SH
Of course it’s not
a joke. John asked
me to attend.
Will you?
SH
Would you like me to?
If I really were dead,
would you have gone?
SH
Yes.
There you are, then.
SH
-x-
Molly sends her love.
She was there, too?
SH
You’d be surprised
by how many people
showed up.
I wish I could have
been there.
SH
You were, in a way.
Amusing.
SH
I’m not trying to
be funny.
Did you talk to John?
SH
No, not really.
How is he?
SH
Devastated, but he puts
up a brave face. Where
are you now?
At Mycroft’s.
SH
Would you like me
to come over?
Yes.
SH
-x-
You should leave.
I will.
SH
I’m serious. You’re
not supposed to
be there.
What if he sees you?
Do you think I’ll ever
return?
SH
I think you’re about
to miss your flight.
Come back to the car.
I’m coming.
SH
-x-
How was the flight?
Uneventful.
SH
Boring?
You have no idea.
SH
What are you going
to do now?
Didn’t you say it’s
better if I don’t
tell you?
SH
Yes. Sometimes I
hate being right.
Good thing it
doesn't happen
that often, then.
SH
Oh, just…. Hush.
I’ll keep in touch.
SH
I promise.

Here is Vol. XV and here is Vol. XIX if you want to skip the random chapters and move straight to canon timeline.

Date: 2012-06-15 08:43 am (UTC)Looking forward to that too :) And I have a new appearance of Lisa McAllister very high up on my wish list, but I'm not optimistic about my odds.

Date: 2012-06-14 04:46 pm (UTC)I'm trying to think of a theme to suggest here. How about travel? Sherlock moaning about all the hassle of getting from one place to another?

Date: 2012-06-15 04:48 pm (UTC)Yesterday I had to travel out of state to go to a con and every little thing went wrong. I shall enjoy the catharsis of seeing Sherlock suffer amusingly. *EG*

no subject
Date: 2012-06-15 10:16 am (UTC)I'm putting the last touches on it now -- you know, you told me to be brutal when you handed off the first draft, and I have definitely come through with that!

Date: 2012-06-16 01:54 am (UTC)As for a theme idea - how about Cluedo? I know you've mentioned it before, but it could be amusing.
This series is fantastic. I love it so much. This somehow ended up three pages back on my f-list. I almost missed it.
no subject
Date: 2012-06-16 08:46 am (UTC)I think just Cluedo might be too narrow, but since they enjoy Scrabble I think a board game-theme in general could work :) I'll poke around with it!
no subject
Date: 2012-06-23 04:31 am (UTC)I will also encourage you to do a hiatus version, whether it's rendered an AU or not by the next season, I would very much enjoy seeing what you might do.
Thanks for sharing these!

Date: 2012-06-23 07:55 pm (UTC)I'm going to stick with my "not going to do an AU for this hiatus"-reply, though I know I'm terrible at keeping things like that. But I have things to write to keep this series on life-support at least until more canon is available. It is after all my number one procrastination method and I do have a lot of things to procrastinate ;)
