TW: Suicide anonymous January 16 2012, 17:13:19 UTC

So... Sherlock looked pretty horrified when he realized Jim was about to shoot himself - and not damn, there goes my way out of this horrified, but spur-of-the-moment, shocked, shit shit shit back the fuck away from him horrified.

And he was a bit... frantic about stopping Henry from killing himself in Hounds.

The Prompt: Five times Sherlock witnessed someone taking their own life (and one time he nearly did the same, maybe?)

It doesn't actually have to be a Five Times (+1) fic, just... something along those lines. Please.

(Yes, Mycroft, I suppose Heidegger could be involved somehow...)

Re: TW: Suicide anonymous January 16 2012, 18:50:58 UTC

Oh god, how did I not notice the frantic ways he stops one suicide and witnesses another, how.
This prompt makes so much sense it hurts: seconded!

Re: TW: Suicide anonymous January 16 2012, 23:32:06 UTC

Why is it this one that makes me actually want to write my very first sherlock fic? Oh anon, what have you done to me? *runs off to google docs*

Re: TW: Suicide anonymous January 17 2012, 01:40:18 UTC

Ooh. Good observation. I want this!

He was young. He didn't know better, couldn't have known better. He knew something was wrong and at five years old, couldn't explain what it was or why ( ... )

Re: Papa anonymous January 17 2012, 20:53:13 UTC

Wow, this is so sad and powerful :(

Re: Papa anonymous January 18 2012, 04:28:29 UTC

Oh, those last lines.

Re: Papa anonymous January 26 2012, 19:24:39 UTC

Gorgeous.

So my first response to a prompt and this is what I come up with. I think it's done. Hope this is close to what you were looking for ( ... )

Re: Fill - WARNING FOR TRIGGERS anonymous January 17 2012, 20:54:42 UTC

This is painful but beautiful.

Re: Fill - WARNING FOR TRIGGERS anonymous January 17 2012, 23:07:54 UTC

Thanks, I really don't know what happened. I'm usually sweetness and light but well, I guess the muse decided it wanted to try something new.

Re: Fill - WARNING FOR TRIGGERS anonymous January 18 2012, 00:25:44 UTC

oh my god yes. just yes.

Re: Fill - WARNING FOR TRIGGERS anonymous January 18 2012, 01:30:46 UTC

thanks! I wasn't too sure about it but had to post it.

Re: Fill - WARNING FOR TRIGGERS anonymous January 18 2012, 00:33:36 UTC

This is absolute perfection. Great job, anon!

Re: Fill - WARNING FOR TRIGGERS anonymous January 18 2012, 01:32:17 UTC

thank you!

Re: Fill - WARNING FOR TRIGGERS straydog733 January 18 2012, 02:58:41 UTC

Wow, that one stings, but it very well-written. I could really see Sherlock noticing the signs but not seeing why it would be important to bring them to anybody's attention; he solves mysteries and stops people from killing other people. A suicide has no mystery and no perpetrator outside of the victim, so it would not interest him at all.

Great character piece.
