Message Not Received
Sherlock texts John after the fall and during the hiatus. The messages are sent, but never received.
…
I'm so sorry, John. SH
…
198 different television channels and they're all talking about me. SH
'He's a fake.' SH
No, I'm not. SH
…
I didn't realize the impact my death would have on you. SH
I'm profoundly sorry. SH
Please forgive me. SH
…
Did you know that there are actually 244 different kinds of tobacco ash? SH
Fascinating. SH
…
I wish I had someone to tell me how brilliant I was. SH
'Fantastic.' SH
'Amazing.' SH
'Wonderful.' SH
Before you I was just a freak. SH
Before you I was practically nothing. SH
…
My new alias is named 'John'. SH
That's supposed to be a compliment. SH
It's also an excuse so I can hear your name. SH
…
I wish you were here with me. SH
Or, it's probably safer to say, I wish I was there with you. SH
…
I miss you. SH
…
Met a man in Cairo yesterday who reminded me of you. SH
He tried to kill me. SH
But, you know, whatever. SH
…
I did it for you. SH
For you, for Mrs. Hudson, for Lestrade. SH
I only ever wanted to keep you all safe. SH
…
I hope you're happy. SH
That sounds like sarcasm, but I really honestly hope you're happy. SH
…
Got shot in the same shoulder than you. SH
We're matching! SH
I can't stop laughing. SH
Probably just the pain meds. SH
Hopefully just the pain meds. SH
…
'I believe in Sherlock Holmes'? SH
You had something to do with that, didn't you? SH
Thank you. SH
…
Heard you went to my grave again today. SH
What exactly were you expecting to find there? SH
Moriarty's body is buried in there, you know. Not mine. SH
If you think about it, it's kind of messed up, because that means you were actually paying your respects to Moriarty and not me. SH
I remember when I thought you were Moriarty at the pool. SH
I was devastated. SH
I thought, 'This is what I get for caring.' SH
I was scared you were going to leave me after the pool. SH
But you stayed. SH
No idea why. SH
Sentiment, probably. SH
Pesky emotions. SH
…
Mycroft says you met someone. SH
I'm not jealous. SH
Mary is a nice name, by the way. SH
You have my blessing to move on. SH
…
Car bomb nearly killed me. SH
Almost died in a cab, of all places. SH
The irony does not escape me. SH
Remember when you shot that cabbie for me? SH
Of course you do. You're not likely to forget killing someone. SH
Unless, of course, killing someone is part of your daily routine. Then it might get tedious. Like making breakfast, expect with a lot more blood. SH
…
Something's wrong with me. SH
…
Tell me I'm not going crazy. SH
'You're not going crazy.' J
You're just saying that. SH
'Yes, I am. You're not going crazy, because you've always been crazy.' J
Thanks, John. That helped a lot. SH
…
I'm sad tonight, let's have dinner. SH
…
Mycroft says I'll be home in seven-months. SH
Assuming I'm not brutally murdered before then. SH
It's an optimistic prediction. SH
You know how I feel about optimism. SH
Tedious. SH
…
I'm lonely and I'm drunk and I miss you. SH
…
Watching Doctor Who reruns in a cheap hotel in Moscow. SH
I remember how you used to love this show. SH
I would always ruin it by pointing out the scientific inaccuracies. SH
And you would say, "Sherlock, you don't even know that the earth goes 'round the sun. You're hardly an expert on the complex quantum mechanics of the universe." SH
And I would said, "Yes, but I know enough to know that blue police boxes do not travel through time. If they did, then the '60s would've been much more interesting." SH
And you would just sigh and roll your eyes and laugh. SH
I miss that. SH
…
I feel so alone. SH
…
Got shot at again today. SH
Just the usual. SH
Getting shot at is a lot more fun when you're around. SH
…
I'm not dead, let's have dinner. SH
…
Compromised. SH
...
Oh!
I love the idea of Sherlock pining for John after the fall. Poor Sherlock, though.
Hope you enjoyed!
