A 221B - once again written for Good Old James from the prompt 'Sherlock hates it - a 221b ending with BLOG'.
Nothing is mine. Though I'd write a blog about it if it were.
John's blog – the bane of his life.
The narrative is terrible, staggered, stuttering and uninspired. Genius dumbed down for the masses. People won't understand, John states, if he writes what happens word for word, and they'll get bored if he goes into details about Sherlock's pattern of thinking and the routes of his deductions. But the 'entertaining bits' must, of course, be included.
Every mistake that is made, every wrong turn, every time they get shot or punched or shouted at has to be typed up and published. It is humiliating. And those are the sections that receive the most comments, obviously. The contemptible urge of the human race to laugh at someone else – he detests it.
It's ridiculous, in Sherlock's opinion, to note down the boring particulars of his errors and confusions and ignore the finer nuances of his deductions. And would he stop going on about the Solar System, for crying out loud?!
John enjoys the gaps in Sherlock's knowledge, teases him for not picking up on references to popular music, or television programmes or politics. To be honest it can be a little embarrassing to occasionally appear incompetent in his work. There has become a phrase he finds himself fearing at these times, and unfortunately it almost always appears.
"Oh yes, that is totally going on the blog."
