Re: John's updated blog Slight spoilers.

[mightbeblogging]

It's a part of my life that's over now, I've made peace with it. Really, there's nothing more to be said on that particular subject. He's gone, but never forgotten.


I don't care what you think about my mustache - it's not going anywhere.

Typically, men with facial hair are trying to hide something.

[mightbeblogging]

I'm sure that's not always the case.

UNidentified (so annoying spell-check doesn't catch this field.)

[highfunctioning_sociopath]

I did write "Typically."

[mightbeblogging]

Well, I'm not.

[highfunctioning_sociopath]

You are the most typical person out there, John.

[In the most atypical way, it's the dichotomy of those two that Sherlock enjoys so much.]

[mightbeblogging]

[Well that's a bit... rude.]

Sorry, do I know you?

[highfunctioning_sociopath]

[Well, Sherlock would be that, but since he's dead...]

I know you. So, restarted your blog. It's about time.

[mightbeblogging]

Yeah, well why not? Not that it's anything like it used to be. But it helps, it's part of the healing process, I suppose. I'm typing up his old cases, too - those deserve to be out there for people to read.

[highfunctioning_sociopath]

"People" won't be able to understand them, so you're going to dumb them down. What's the fun in that?

[mightbeblogging]

What? I don't... I don't "dumb them down." I just make them easier to understand for the average reader. Sherlock was... well, no one really read his website, now, did they?

[highfunctioning_sociopath]

Oh, I see. Jealous that his site would get more attention than yours if you didn't "appeal to the masses." Well, since he's dead, you won't need to worry about that any more.

[Well, Sherlock was trying to be helpful. Of course, Sherlock is the one who is jealous.]

[mmorstan]

You do look quite nice clean-shaven.

[mightbeblogging]

Except for the fact nobody reads his site, yeah.

[But his jaw tightens a bit at that last line.]

I don't want to talk about this with you.

[mightbeblogging]

Traitor.

Is the mustache really that bad?

[mmorstan]

Pardon me, but I feel that I've been quite supportive. Look at my lovely comments on your blog. [ Yay, she's now in show canon! ]

It's not the worst thing, no.

[highfunctioning_sociopath]

Only because he gave up maintaining his site before his... demise.

I think you might find that you can talk about this with me.

[No, no, no! Don't leave me! - He's so desperate, it's pathetic.]

[mightbeblogging]

I know, you're right, of course. That was very thoughtful of you, love. Harry really wants to meet you, by the way. She won't leave me alone until she does.
[Canon, yes! But slightly different face - at least still blonde!]

If it makes you feel any better, it looks like I won't have the mustache forever.

[mightbeblogging]

[Unfortunately, John doesn't know who you are.]

I don't like to talk about this with anyone, much less some... faceless stranger. Sorry.

[mmorstan]

[ We are simply quite happy to have representation here, though this Mary won't be having any facelifts any time soon. She grins innocently. ]

I suppose I feel better. And I am curious what you've told Harry about me.

[highfunctioning_sociopath]

I am not a stranger. And if you had the ability to see and observe, you would already know who I am.

[mightbeblogging]

[He smiles, raising his brow.]

Just enough to keep her satisfied for the time being. There's not a bad thing to tell about you, Mary, you know that.

[mightbeblogging]

I take it you're some sort of fan of Sherlock's.

[highfunctioning_sociopath]

You could say that. He'd probably say that I'm more dangerous than his "arch-enemy."

[Sherlock has learned a few things while he's been away.]

[mmorstan]

Oh, please, I do have my flaws.

[ But she's giggling and blushing and all of that because she's missed being out and about. ]

I look forward to meeting your sister.

[mightbeblogging]

Out of the two of us, I'm fairly certain I come with more baggage, though.

[John's happy to see her, and be out and about himself, too!]

She can be... a lot to take in, at first. But I think you will like her. I know she'll like you.

[mightbeblogging]

Really. [Said flatly.]

I'm sorry, I don't want to play... whatever game it is you're playing.

[highfunctioning_sociopath]

It's not a game. It's a trick. Just a magic trick.

[Come on, John, stop being an idiot.]

[always1895]

Oh, my dear Watson.

I'm afraid there is more yet to come.

[mightbeblogging]

Stop this. Whoever you are, just stop this right now. It's not funny.

[mightbeblogging]

Sorry...?

No, not me. These days, my life has slowed down. I'm happy with it.

[highfunctioning_sociopath]

I wasn't trying to be funny.

[always1895]

Of course.

She is a good match.
