SH: The Paper Man (Ch. 2)II. Greg Lestrade

"I'm warning you, the smell's absolutely horrid."

Greg Lestrade only nodded in curt acknowledgement, hurriedly shucking off his drenched outer coat as he closed the door behind him, shutting the storm out of the dilapidated apartment complex. "We've got forensics in there now," the sergeant continued, jerking his head upwards as he made his way down the last of the steps and onto the landing. In a practiced move he pulled off both his latex gloves and thrust them in his jacket pocket. "They've got their work cut out for them." Lestrade sighed heavily; he'd been hoping against hope that the initial reports had been at least
SH: The Paper Man (Ch. 1)I. Mrs. Hudson

Mrs. Hudson had done most of the work. She knew John felt guilty, but she also knew he just couldn't bring himself to help, and so, when push came to shove, she hadn't pressed him. After all, she really didn't mind. And that was why, when it finally came time to box up all of Sherlock's things, Mrs. Hudson had been the one to do it. Clothes, books, furniture, stacks and stacks of files and old police reports, the vast array of chemistry equipment, all the chemicals.

In time, the flat was turned inside out: drawers were emptied, cupboards cleaned, and properly this time, the way they should have been from the start. Mrs. Hudso
SH: The Paper ManPrologue

It wasn't quite a nightmare.

It couldn't have been; he was still awake when it began. He remembered the feeling of his phone slipping from his hand, and the second of heavy silence before it clattered to the floor. It skittered away somewhere under the couch and he could tell by the sound that the screen had cracked, but he was already thinking of Harry, even before his knees gave out from beneath him. She'd be upset that he'd broken her old phone, the one she'd given him to keep in touch; she'd take offense, as though he'd done it on purpose just to spite her.

Of course, he hadn't spoken to Harry in years.

And that was the last

Oh, Sherlock, you bought that whole TV. And you're not even going to use it (cuz John's gonna make you return it, box and all).

Okay, this one's got roots in the CANON, you guys. And not BBC Sherlock canon, oh no. I'm talking Sir Arthur Conan Doyle-level, turn the pages and read the book canon. "The Hound of the Baskervilles," to be exact. Here's the story: Sherlock holes himself up in his room for a night to ponder, smoking the whole time. When Watson finds him in the morning the air is so thick with smoke he can't breathe and so he opens a window, and Sherlock is all "AARRRGGHHH NO MY PRECIOUS HEAD SPACE!!" (Note: that's not what he really says.) But he does make Watson shut the window, and makes some comment about how he can think best when he's in a still, enclosed environment because it eliminates distractions. He then says, "I have not pushed it to the length of getting into a box to think, but that is the logical outcome of my convictions." And I thought, well, THIS Sherlock might not push things that far, but BBC Sherlock would be ALL OVER THAT SHIT. And then I made this.

Oh, and here's a fun fact, guys: TV's don't come in boxes big enough for a human to sit inside anymore. You know, since they've gotten all skinny and thin lately. HUMOR ME.


(Perspective lulz what's that?)

...I can actually see the BBC people pulling this out as a reference to the books. The way they did with the Speckled Blonde and the Geek Interpreter. And the Scandal In Belgravia. I can really see it xD

His mind palace has become physical.

Lol. You've got Sherlock spot-on! Yes, ACD's Holmes may not go to the lengths of getting in a box, but BBC Sherlock wouldn't hesitate. :love: These are brilliant!
