1. To this day, whenever John Watson sleeps in a tent he wakes up with the rat-a-tat-tat of gunfire ringing in his ears and the lingering taste of hot metal in his mouth and a gritty, uncomfortable feeling as if he'll never quite be able to get rid of the grains of desert sand lodged between his toes.
2. The most disgusting thing that he's ever eaten was something left in the fridge that he had thought was marmalade. One look at Sherlock's face upon seeing the half-empty jar told him that it wasn't, and after throwing up several times in the loo John still isn't sure if he wants to know what was actually in that jar.
3. John stays far away from anything at all like Call Of Duty. He just can't understand why anyone would want to take the past few years of his life and turn the whole awful, dirty, bloody experience into a game.
4. In the six months that he's been living with Sherlock, John has been shot once and shot at countless times. He has been chased, threatened, bribed, blackmailed, beaten up and wired to a bomb. He's fallen into the Thames (Sherlock insists it was an accident, though John later found some obscure and messy notes on velocity and trajectory lying around in the flat) and has been on the business end of several rather unpleasant people's fists.
All in all, John imagines that he'd probably be safer back in Afghanistan.
5. John is not by nature a violent man, but if he ever runs into Moriarty again he'd cheerfully shoot him dead on the spot - for the innocent lives taken, for wiring John himself up to that bomb, but most of all for the shattered look on Sherlock's face when he had thought for those few horrible moments at the pool that John was the villain of the piece.
It was going to be seven facts, but inspiration drought has struck again and I leave for university in under a week so wanted to publish it before that. Bite me.
