Thank you again! Arty Diane, I'm not sure if it's a real site or not. I think John's blog may be but if it is I don't know what the URL is. You could probably google 'BBC Sherlock John's blog' and if it exists it'll show up. I'll see if I can find it and get back to you on that. In the meantime! :)
When the random kid on the street walked up and hugged him, Sherlock checked his pockets for his wallet. Which was still there. The second time a random stranger hugged him, he started to get suspicious. When a sweet, little old lady walked up to him and John at Angelo's and hugged him (the eight person that day to do so), he decided that the apocalypse must be coming. When John smiled as Donovan hugged him, Sherlock turned to John and demanded, "What is going on?!" John just blinked and pulled out his phone. Sherlock, as freaked out as he was, considered snapping at him but before he could John showed him his blog.
Sherlock blinked and reread the words on the screen. Over three thousand likes for the #supportSherlock comment. "Hash tag support Sherlock? What?"
It was Donovan who replied, "A lot of people understand your letter and they agree with the message. They want to let you know that. They also have a #anti-haters movement."
"Movement?"
"Ta. You've started a movement." Lestrade added. "People are hugging you because they want to show support."
"...Oh."
"Anyway, body's this way."
*later that same day, Sherlock's site*
A random act of kindness
confusing and warming
why?
why hug a stranger?
spirit-lifting kindness
a smile, a hug
more powerful than it gets credit for
stopping to help
instead of continuing uncaringly
this ability
it's the ability
made to save a life
Thank You
