December 31: "There and Back Again" (from sirensbane)
A/N: Thank you everyone for another awesome December! And a special thanks to Hades for putting this shindig on year after year. Happy New Year, all!
Short and silly again, so I manage to post before midnight!
Holmes was sleeping fitfully on the settee, after several restless nights working on a case. He awoke with a shout, and Watson rushed in to make sure his friend was all right.
"Seven-percent solution again?" Watson queried, a disapproving look in his eye.
"Not this time," Holmes replied. "But goodness, I have never had a dream like that before! I was in a whole other world, with dwarves, and elves, dragons, and…hobbits?"
"Hobbits?" asked the Doctor, sitting down next to his friend. "What on earth is a hobbit?"
Holmes rubbed his temple. "It's all fading away so quickly…I no longer know. I felt as though I had gone so far away."
"Well, wherever you have been, I'm glad you're back again," said Watson.
"As am I, old fellow."
