Drabbles - Sherlock/The Big Bang Theory & Merlin

[duskyblueskies]

A/N: I wrote these two drabbles earlier this summer in hope that it would kickstart my creativity. It didn't. I first planned for them to be exactly 100 words long but since I wrote them by hand "100 words" changed to "a page in my notebook". Just two silly little things really.

I've got to say that with so few words you managed to say a lot and somehow captured every character perfectly! I love both of these. The idea of the first one is simply brilliant and I can totally see Sherlock and Sheldon clashing completely to begin with and then reluctantly having to admit that they have way too much in common not to be friends. But the really touching and interesting story is of course that of Leonard and John and the very similar roles they've carved out for themselves beside two of the world's greatest minds. That line about why John would never ask why Leonard stays is absolutely perfect and it says so much about who the real heroes are.
The other story is also perfect in the way Arthur and Merlin interact; sarcastic and witty on the surface but with so much loyalty and affection underneath.
Well done!

Thank you so much for this wonderful comment!

Sheldon and Sherlock (even their names kind of match) together would either be a dream come true or a complete nightmare. Probably both, at the same time. And then they form the most fabulously logical partnership of all time and become the Overlords of the world.

Again, thank you. I wrote in the email to L that it is so long since I wrote something that I had almost forgotten how so you kind of made my day with this :)

These are cute:) I can totally see Leonard and Watson bonding ove their annoying yet loveable roommates.

Thank you :)

Completely off topic but apparently Evangeline Lilly is a fan of the hobbit and a "purist" http://www.sfx.co.uk/2011/09/17/evangeline-lilly-on-the-hobbit-and-real-steel/. I'm still not completely all right with this Tauriel (ugh that name) deal but you know, if I can accept that there are flying ships in the new musketeers film, I will be okay with this soon enough...

[angie_white]

Well, that's comforting to know. And since Peter has made a great job on Tolkien so far, I guess we will just have to trust him on this too. But I agree with you, I wish they'd chosen another name than Tauriel.

[duskyblueskies]

In PJ we trust, absolutely.

Also: That time we were the right height and the right age but not at the right place: Could have been elves.

Oh my, I think you got Merlin and Arthur perfectly. Poor grieving Arthur, and oh so conflicted Merlin. And, of course, the slash is hinted at and adorable! :D

I've only seen a few random episodes of The Big Bang Theory but enough to appreciate the first drabble. I loved how Watson was just all 'that's nothing' and then goes on to say something much more horrifying, hehehe. Brilliant!

[duskyblueskies]

Hee, thank you so much! I don't think I could write Merlin and Arthur together without at least hinting at slash, but neither can the show's writers so that's just canon ;)

I'm glad you enjoyed the other one as well. I have some issues with TBBT but there's things I love about it as well. Watson is just... aww Watson <3

I'm sorry it took me so long to reply, "real life" got in the way and then LJ was down/not working and then rl got in the way again. I really appreciate you taking the time to leave a comment though! <3

[alana2x1]

No probs! Real life has to come before lj, unfortunately, lol. And I'm good at commenting! I just wish I was half as good at writing my own fiction :)
