Sherlock was, extremely thoughtfully mind you, making tea. He reached up for the box of tea bags and a sharp stab of pain from his presumably not-entirely-healed wound caused him to make a small noise. A small noise, it should be noted. John, however, apparently had the hearing of - well - something that could hear extraordinarily well; a dog,

So lovely to wake up and find this sitting on my computer.

:-) Thanks. I'm always happy to provide birds of mysterious origin.

The case of the flatmate who refused to yell! I'd say those birds did a marvelous job of solving it for Sherlock, didn't they? :)

It makes sense that John would be overprotective, to the point of realizing that Sherlock is, actually, fine - and that it's not the stitches that bother him, it's the hovering.

I do wonder how they got the birds out. And what Mrs Hudson said about it all. :)

[impulsereader]

In my head John opens all the windows and they slowly drift out on their own, but since that's extraordinarily irresponsible he'd probably think of something else. Maybe call in Sir Attenborough for the save.

Oh Sherlock! Honestly, you almost bleed out on John and then you have the audacity to be grumpy when he gets a teensy bit over-protective. Shame on you!
*giggles madly*
This is a wonderful interlude - you were right, it was definitely about time Sherlock had a tantrum and this is a doozy of one. And did I really read that end bit right ... birds in the broken blender? Blended? *wrinkles nose in digust at the mess, a la Mrs Hudson*

[impulsereader]

Oh dear, no, Sherlock exploding the blender was meant to be unrelated to the birds. There were just more birds in the kitchen which John hadn't noticed until he actually went in there. He should consider himself lucky I didn't import a peacock or an emu for the occasion.

The writers of the show are completely right in that the best bits to write are the ones that you don't have to explain. Not even John bothers questioning where the birds came from because Sherlock just has super powers like that. :-)

[kizzia]

I suspect my jumping to that rather appalling conclusion says more about how I think about Sherlock than anything else! And you're right, the best bits are the unexplained bits (like where, exactly, the skull came from).

Frigging birds out of frigging nowhere. XD

[nefhiriel]

Hee! Love eet. :D

[impulsereader]

Oh, hey, thanks for dropping by for my Birds of Mysterious Origin. :-) I can't seem to avoid producing them.
