Prompt: severed head

[azzy494]

John and Sherlock at a crime scene where the victim has been decapitated, and Sherlock asks Lestrade if he can have the head after the case is solved, which starts an argument between Jihn and Sherlock about getting a new head when they still have to old one in the fridge. With everyone else at the crime scene just watching them in horror.

Less is not more in this instance, repeat after me.

I wish I could friend you. I HEAR MUCH OF THIS FRIENDING!

But I'm not on LJ, so :(

Instead I shall just trawl the meme, scattering fics... wondering why nobody else will do a zombie!AU... and why no awesome Donovan?

I might also have started a random Zombie!crack AU *looks sheepish*

Why are you not on lj? Get on lj, it is clearly the place to be! (I have been here for so many years, it really must be ^_^)

Donovan I've never really tried writing... I keep getting distracted by awesome Sherlock and awesome Mycroft and she is sadly side lined. It is a tragedy and one I must do something about... as soon as I get a plot bunny involving her. *sigh*

Right, let's make a deal. You work on the Zombie!crack AU (page 46, isn't it?) and I'll...

No. Wait. That's it, that's perfect. Where better to show the potential awesome that is contained in Donovan than in a zombie apocalypse fic?

There should be multiple fills of Zombie!AUs anyway.

This was goddamn hilarious :D I love how the convo was basically what every parent has to go trough when it comes to new toys. "You already have one exactly like that, you've hardly even used it..."

Priceless.

Epic. Simply, utterly epic.

I'd give up my hypothetical future firstborn to have this actually happen on the show.

“Yes,” John agrees again, grinning broadly, “which is why you have filled your half of the fridge with one severed hand, the contents of two stomachs, a pint of blood, one lung, two types of deadly bacteria and your very own severed head. In fact,” John contemplates the matter for a second, “That might already take up more than half of the fridge. Going by your own logic you might have to give up the blood... or the lung.”

I think the Internet may very well have been created solely so this sentence could be shared with the world. It is THAT glorious.

That is DELIGHTFUL!

I love it. Especially the tones of "you don't feed your current decomposing head, so no new pets for you."

...and is it supposed to be a Highlander crossover or am I just too nerdy for the world??? D:e

[azzy494]

I love John's parental exasperation! Very funny fic.

Re: 2nd Fill: Two Heads Are Better Than One (3/3)

[azzy494]

Haha, just brilliant! And John taking up Lestrade's cantine offer not because of random body parts, but so he won't have to go shopping!

"there is no logical reason to take a bodiless head home when you already have a perfectly good bodiless head at home in the fridge."

This made me lol so much
