Wow there are over 100 people reading this stupid thing and that makes me happy and slightly confused.


March 3

When I said I wanted to see you, I meant for more than one night. JW [sent at 9:20]

Catching Moriarty is all that matters at the moment, John. SH [sent at 9:21]

I know. JW [sent at 9:26]

You don't seem like it. SH [sent at 9:28]

No kidding. JW [sent at 9:30]


Let's go to a pub. JW [sent at 20:43]

Can't. At work. GL [sent at 20:47]

Isn't it a bit late to be working? JW [sent at 20:48]

Apparently not. GL[sent at 20:49]

...have you heard from Sherlock? JW [sent at 20:50]

John, if I had heard from Sherlock, I would've told you. GL[sent at 20:52]

I'm trying to solve a murder without once speaking to him, though, and I would appreciate it if I could do it in peace. GL [sent at 20:52]

Fine. I'll go to the bloody pub alone. JW [sent at 20:53]

Or I could watch a rerun of Downton Abbey alone. JW [sent at 20:54]

Or a Doctor Who marathon. Alone. JW [sent at 20:54]

I really don't care. GL [sent at 20:56]


March 4

Anything? JW [sent at 13:45]

Nothing. SH [sent at 13:47]

You can stop asking me, John. I promise I will tell you if something happens. SH [sent at 13:47]

I've been hearing that a lot lately. JW [sent at 13:48]

Excuse me? SH [sent at 13:49]

Nothing. JW [sent at 13:50]


March 5

He slipped up. One of Mycroft's security cameras caught Moran somewhere on the other side of London. SH [sent at 17:12]

Good. That's...good. Great, even. JW [sent at 17:16]

Sorry, I still don't know why you're even trying to catch him. JW [sent at 17:17]

Do you remember the case with the victims missing their ring fingers? SH [sent at 17:17]

Yes. JW [sent at 17:19]

Well, as it turns out, I was mistaken when I had...'solved' it. SH [sent at 17:20]

...meaning? JW [sent at 17:21]

I have reason to believe Moriarty was a part of it. SH [sent at 17:22]

Okay, he most definitely was. SH [sent at 17:23]

Which, of course, cancels out all my earlier deductions and conclusions on the case. SH [sent at 17:24]

That's one thing. We're slowly getting more information on other murders he might have been involved with. SH [sent at 17:25]

Well that's something. JW [sent at 17:25]

Yes. And now I have told you about it. SH [sent at 17:26]

See you in a few days. SH [sent at 17:27]

Is it possible to sigh through a text message? JW [sent at 17:29]

No. SH [sent at 17:30]

Not yet. SH [sent at 17:30]

Then I will just have to accept it. JW [sent at 17:31]

Love you. JW [sent at 17:31]

The feeling is reciprocated. SH [sent at 17:32]

Berk. JW [sent at 17:35]

I have strong feelings of affection towards you as well. SH [sent at 17:36]

I may have also developed feelings of strong sentiment to you as an individual as you have to me. SH [sent at 17:37]

Is it too late to take it back? JW [sent at 17:39]

Yes. SH [sent at 17:40]

Love you. SH [sent at 17:41]


That end thing was kinda out of character and I'm sorry. But isn't this entire fic just a load of out of character.

Someone please send me inspiration to make the next chapter not terribly short.

Okay review thanks bye.
