"Still far away from where I belong,
but it's always darkest before the dawn.

So you can doubt and you can hate,
but I know no matter what it takes

I'm coming home, I'm coming home.
Tell the world I'm coming home.
Let the rain wash away all the pain of yesterday.
I know my kingdom awaits and they've forgiven my mistakes."

Sherlock drums his fingers irritably, willing the cab to go faster even though he knows that they're bordering speed limit now.

But he wants to get home. He needs to be home. They're just outside of London and Sherlock has never, ever felt so eager to get back to his own home. He wants the bustling population of London, the smell and the sights and his people, his family.

Sherlock wrinkles his nose. Too much sentiment.

But he's antsy. He is really, really antsy. There is nothing so painful as having to wait the last few hours for the thing that you desperately want the most...

God, he's so happy to be back.

He actually longs to see how they will react. Mrs Hudson will panic and go into hysterics, he thinks with a smile. Lestrade will be gobsmacked. Molly will be excited to see him again. And John...

John. John will probably punch him. With all of the anger of a soldier, Sherlock'll probably end up taking one to the face. He'll let him, of course. He deserves it. He does.

As much as he'd love to run off to John first, he has other priorities. It's been two years... He can wait this much longer. He's going to see his brother first, finish up what he started once and for all, find out what everyone has been up to.

And then he's going back to his life.

Because, after two years and all of the fighting he's done, Sherlock thinks that he deserves it.

He's excited.

He hopes the reunion goes as well as he hopes... (But there is a possibility that it might not.)

Nonetheless, it's time to return and Sherlock anxiously gauges the time until he can see his friends again.

"I'm coming home, I'm coming home.
Tell the world I'm coming home."

Song: I'm Coming Home by Skylar Grey.
Disclaimer: I do not own the song or Sherlock.

Even though I think I'm one of three or so that hasn't watched it yet... SERIES THREE STARTS TONIGHT! YES!

But really... if you've already seen it, please watch it on PBS so Sherlock gets the ratings it deserves. What would happen if they stopped airing it here because of low ratings? (Not that I think/hope they would, but you know). Because who wouldn't want to watch it again, anyway? :p

Anyway, thanks for the support for the story and everyone watch Sherlock! :D :D :D
