You Give Death A Bad Name (1/3)

[anonymous]

I guess I end up writing that Zombie!Sherlock fic after all. I hope it's okay, I've never written a Sherlock fic in my life. Oh dear.

You Give Death a Bad Name

When Sherlock wakes, it’s Mycroft’s face he sees, bent and hovering over him like a branch from a weeping willow, blocking the artificial lighting and trapping Sherlock within Mycroft’s overbearing presence.

The anger leaves Sherlock like the flick of a switch. He huffs into his sheet once he realizes there’s nothing left to say. “Oh good, because I’m bored already. Fifteen minutes with you and a simple domestic abuse case suddenly gains appeal. Wait, no. That’s a lie. That’s dull, too. So-” Sherlock freezes, an unpleasant and confused expression shaping his features as his right hand finds his throat

I think I'm a little (a lot) in love with the idea of zombie!Sherlock surviving Reichenbach *_*
