In response to sagredo's prompt - Write about a New Year's Eve at 221B which turned out to be more of a party than anyone had planned.
"Five… Four… Three… Two… One… HAPPY NEW YEAR!"
As the countdown ended, and Big Ben heralded the New Year, several things were going on at once.
Wiggins and the rest of the Irregulars were busy swearing in the street, whilst above them their probably-illegal fireworks burst into colourful explosions.
Watson and Mary were sharing their first New Year's kiss.
The inspectors from Scotland Yard were debating on their resolutions for that year.
Mycroft was following Mrs Hudson as she handed out food to everybody.
And Holmes watched, wondering when exactly it was that he had gained such a huge family.
Wow. So there it is. It's over.
So… I would like to say a big huge THANK YOU to all those who took part in this. It has been amazing to read everybody's responses.
I would also like to say that hopefully there will be another of these next year. YAY!
Anyone wanting to get involved just drop me a PM or whatever.
Also, in case anyone's interested I just spent my New Year's Eve watching the entire series 1 of Downton Abbey before counting down and watching fireworks from our window.
And so far the New Year has been spent writing and uploading Holmes fics.
It is now 7:00am. I have not slept.
And in 13 hour and 10 minutes – NEW SHERLOCK!
HAPPY 2012 EVERYBODY!
