Writing test, basically, I am writing from some random prompts and quotes. This one's quote is: "You brought a sword to a gunfight?" This is theoretically shippy, but honestly is mostly not. Set sometime in season four, I think.


Molly wasn't sure where Sherlock had pulled the bloody sword from, but she felt it wasn't the most useful item he could have brandished when they were being held at gun-point.

"Drop it," the one on the left growled, his pistol unwavering as it pointed at Sherlock's chest.

"What would be the fun in that?" Sherlock demanded, stepping forward, putting himself in front of Molly, the sword dangling carelessly in his hand.

Then in a move of senseless stupidity, he swung the sword up and swiped it across one man's wrist and slapped the other's gun away. It happened so fast, neither man had time to react, though the second made the mistake of squeezing the trigger. The sound of the bullet shattered the night, but it was so wildly aimed, it missed everyone.

Sherlock was then standing over both men, sword still in hand as it shifted back and forth between them, just waiting for one of them to try something. "Molly. Call Lestrade. We have two more the gang to hand over to him."

One of these days, Molly thought as she pulled out her phone while glaring at his back, he was going to get himself killed.
