Sherlock 3x02 spoilers

[you_dont_work_alone]

I can't believe it. I just.. wow.

It's like.. I don't know. In a sense, it's what I always wanted. There was a time when I thought I had to just get used to being alone. And now... I'm surrounded by so much...

Maybe there is such a thing as happy endings.

[theroseisanextra]

You're getting soppy. I thought we had a conversation about soppiness.

[highfunctioning_sociopath]

And people wonder why I left the reception early...

[Poor, long-suffering Sherlock.]

[theroseisanextra]

Oh! Hi! Excuse me. So sorry. Just need a moment of your time. Would you mind stripping off? Completely? Please and thank you. Won't take more than five minutes out of your schedule. Well. Seven at the outside.

[Because apparently Sherlock Holmes doesn't have a sense of appropriate boundaries no matter what sex he might be.]

[you_dont_work_alone]

You didn't have to read it.

[theroseisanextra]

Pavlovian response. You rang a bell and I thought there was food. Data. Something.

[you_dont_work_alone]

I just got married and you.. male-you, sprung some rather big news. I think you could deduce what the post would be about.

[theroseisanextra]

Of course I can. Same brain, different pathways. I mean, congratulations, big wonderful thing, but. Ugh. You don't need to be poetic.

[goodforhim]

Of course there’s such a thing as happy endings, John.

You know I used to think the same thing. I used to think that I would always be alone after not having my family…well, you know. But now I do have a family. And it’s the best feeling in the world. [She laughs a little] That sounded a lot less soppy in my head.

[propergenius]

You deserve all of it, John.

[silverfoxy]

Congratulations, mate. I'm happy for you.

[you_dont_work_alone]

Thank you. You don't know what it meant to me, having you there. Hearing the things you said.

The last episode is going to kill us, I know it is. Hi, btw :D

[propergenius]

[Sherlock just shrugs a shoulder, looking away. He's a far cry from his much more open, drunken self.]

That's what a best man is for. Speeches, and... everything. It was nothing.

i think so too. ;.; and hello!

[you_dont_work_alone]

It wasn't nothing, Sherlock.

[He knits his brow.]

Did you leave the reception early?

[you_dont_work_alone]

I'm happy, Charlotte.

Can't you just let me enjoy it?

[you_dont_work_alone]

Thank you, Greg.

I guess you just never know when your life will change.

[The right person could always come along for Greg, too.]

[you_dont_work_alone]

I feel as soppy as you sound, so it's alright.

[theroseisanextra]

What fun would that be?

[silverfoxy]

Yeah, I suppose so.

[He shrugs a shoulder. Lestrade isn't big on the dating scene these days, much less marriage. Not again.]

<3

[propergenius]

[Sherlock looks away somewhat awkwardly, fishing out his mobile and pretending to fiddle with it.]

There were too many people... in an enclosed space, John. I wanted to work on a new experiment at the flat.

[the_new_sexy]

Don't be ridiculous, John.

There aren't happy endings. Nothing ends.

[you_dont_work_alone]

To happy beginnings, then.

<33

[you_dont_work_alone]

Oh, well, I hope you had a good time despite it.

You can't keep running off, though. I expect you to babysit now and again. After all, you're so good with children.

SOB

[propergenius]

It wasn't an entirely boring affair. Might have been, of course, if it weren't for the murder.

[Sherlock frowns even deeper at the mention of children. He just barely manages to stifle the pained look from crossing his features, with probably limited success.] I'm quite certain Mrs. Hudson or Molly would be the much more ideal candidates for babysitting. I'm sure I'll be busy.

[you_dont_work_alone]

Not all the time, I hope.

I want our son or daughter to grow up knowing Uncle Sherlock.

[propergenius]

You know how I am when a case is on. I can't promise anything.

[His expression does soften a little at that title, however.]

Yes, well if he - or she - takes after you, they are certain to be by my side constantly. I suppose... an assistant could be useful.

[you_dont_work_alone]

I'm really glad you came to the wedding.

[you_dont_work_alone]

That's the spirit. Though I don't think we'll want our child wandering through crime scenes and seeing dead bodies.

[propergenius]

...

Not good?

No, I know this one. Wait until he's older. Honestly, John - I'm not going to take a baby to crime scenes. It will be a good few years until your child is actually interesting.

[you_dont_work_alone]

I guess we'll cross that bridge when we get to it.

[propergenius]

I guess we will.
