Sometimes, people tell me random things and then stories happen. Like that time a friend told me to write a Doctor Who stapler monster. Stuff like that

So, you know how sometimes you accidentally AUs of your AUs? Sometimes I accidentally crackfic AUs of your AUs.
ECM!John gets hurt again, and ends up with a few more lives. By overwriting Stranger at the Gate!John and Behavioral Modification!John.
(You know, this started out hilarious in my head, and then I actually thought about it and oh god, it's actually really sad. Still thought it should be shared, though.)
They're pinned down and a part of John's mind is hysterically laughing. It's this mad little manic laugh that is more than a Bit Not Good, but this can't be happening. It's his last day. This is his last active day in Afghanistan for the next two (eight) years, and now it happens. Now it happens

Okay, first of all, asdfghjkl;;; hell yes, language barriers. I don't know why but that is awesome for me. (Also, Jesus, poor Sherlock, poor John, how are they going to get the vampire thing across? ajkslak!!!)
Second of all, you are actually doing this, what is your brain what is my brain what are brains?
I am ridiculously excited and terrified in a way that only teenage girls can be (without getting laughed at).
The second I saw this prompt, it got ridiculously stuck in my head. Not sure how far I'm going to go with it, but I'm definitely having fun at the moment.
Sherlock frowns at him, the way he only does when honestly bewildered by idiocy.
"Sa?" he tries again. Does that not mean yes?
Sherlock begins to frown the way he only does when John is bleeding.
"I'm all right," John says, nodding. "Are you all right?"
"I'm all right," Sherlock repeats. The words are broken cups, the meaning once within drained away. Sherlock continues speaking, slow and low. John nods along, keeps nodding along as Sherlock gestures to John's head and his own throat. The gestures increase, repeat, and Sherlock begins to stress the significant details. John listens as sentence structure breaks down, but he can't make any sense out of any of this beyond there something being wrong with John's head, similar to Sherlock's throat. Sherlock's tense, immensely so, and it begins to sink in that John may have overwritten someone-- has overwritten someone who

By the time Sherlock's voice wears out, they make little progress. Sherlock seems to think John's lost his ability to speak normally because of Moriarty. Or not Moriarty, but something or someone related to Moriarty. John's fairly sure this is a failure of translation - Sherlock can't actually think that

Now that the semester has ended, I was going to go back and review the rest of Stranger and then your other works first. But then you had to go and do this.
I don't know whether to giggle or cry, because Overwritten!John. Now you might get me looking for music to have a wake for all the Overwritten!Johns.
And I second the excitement over the language barriers. No magic suddenly-I-understand-your-speech moment.
And that last bit of dialog. Yes! Yes! Encapsulates their relationship right there.
I still don't know what is happening. (But I do know that I am enjoying this far more than I should, even with the impending madness once John gets back to A!Sherlock and then all hell breaks loose. Yeah, don't want to share with one other Sherlock? try a few more.)
