Going the direction that so many Holmes-Home fics go, because it's really the only way I can imagine it.
Reason for the Flatshare
Sherlock swept out of the car, opening a conspicuous spring green umbrella (another gift from Mycroft) which was immediately pelted by rain. John opened his own umbrella and stepped out, trying not to get his suitcase wet.
He swallowed heavily.
At the end of the drive was one of the largest Victorian houses he had ever seen. No, house wasn't the right word. This was clearly a mansion.
"I was unaware of your...affluence," John said finally. "Why did you need a flatshare with me, again?"
"I didn't. You did." Sherlock let a ghost of a smile cross his face.
Prompt was #98: Writer's Choice: spring green
I'm going to talk about Season 2 very briefly, with no spoilers to plot but mild spoilers to the slash. Nothing too revealing, and only good news :)
So I've been able to watch "A Scandal in Belgravia" and "Hound of the Baskervilles" and I must say, they are amazing. On "Scandal": I really enjoyed Irene and Mofftiss's interesting interpretation of her. She truly was a good character to match Sherlock's wits. Some people were a bit unsettled with the obvious slam against the slash-crowd with the undertones of the episode, but... On "Hound": If "Scandal" quashed the slash, "Hound" brought it back with explosive force. There is less of the "are-they-or-aren't-they" tension we so loved in season one and dear me, I have never seen their chemistry better. It's like John, the one who was always protesting, has just said "Oh fuck it" and let people think whatever they want, and he seems to be rolling with this well. Sherlock is opening up and showing some pretty obvious attachment towards John- if you're on Tumblr at all, then you'll have seen the GIFs of the hesitant smiles, proud glances, and trusting looks. Both episodes were artistic and brilliant and, dare I say, even better than series one.
