Enough Nemesis To Go Around

by Mislav

[Complete.] My take on season three premiere. Sherlock and Joan don't expect to meet anytime soon, but they fall back into each other's orbit. Case!fic!

1. Chapter 1

A/N: I don't own any of the Elementary characters and I am not making any money from writing this.

Please forgive any minor spelling or grammar mistakes, English is not my native language.

This is just a prologue, and therefore very short. Other chapters will be longer, at least one thousand words. The prologue is based on the beginning of the screenplay written for the first episode of season three, published on Tumblr. It reads: "INT.-RESTAURANT-DAY, JOAN WATSON sits opposite". Title of the story is the same like the episode title.

Joan was sitting at the table in the restaurant, opposite to Sherlock. She bit her lower lip before checking her watch, growing impatient.

"Is it time?"

Sherlock sighed. "It is." He took a sip of water as his eyes flew over the restaurant, stopping on the front door. "There she is, coming inside in this very moment."

Joan glared briefly at the front door before moving her head back to face Sherlock. "And now we watch."
