    ***

    The freak and his poor dumb-arse flatmate chum walked away from the red-drenched car.

    She liked John Watson. Seeing a nice ordinary bloke like him get caught up in Sherlock's psychopathy was painful.

    She continued to needle the one, but to the other, tossed out another hopeless lifeline. "Fishing," she called after John. "Try fishing." For God's bloody sake, anything had to be safer, saner, smarter, more fun to do, than this.

    John stopped and cocked his head at that one. He looked back at her for a moment, before continuing to follow the tall figure.

    ***

    Two mornings later, on the Thames embankment with Sherlock and Lestrade, Donovan collected information about an abandoned body when a loud wet BOOM and a splash made her jump back a foot.

    She slogged through the wet stones and clumps of grass and ducked under a bridge toward the source of the noise. And there she saw John standing on the riverbank, face calm and placid as he threw what looked like a stone into the river. But the BOOM and gouting spray that followed said otherwise.

    "What the hell are you doing?" she shrieked. "Those are bloody grenades! Where did you get those!"

    Without responding to her, John took two steps into the water, bent down and picked up a long body that floated past. When he straightened, he held a pop-eyed gap-mouthed Mediterranean weever, nearly two feet long. "I'm fishing," he said. He could have been saying "I'm having a cup of tea." "This is how I fish."

    Sally looked behind her wildly, to see if her boss saw this. But what she saw was Sherlock standing a few feet behind all of them. He grinned at her like a jack-o-lantern.

    …Oh my God. They were fucking made for each other.

    Eastern Promises
    Saw a preview of "Eastern Promises" at the movies today.

    Shirtless Viggo covered in tattoos.

    ...

    (blinks, wipes drool off lower lip)

    So very, very wrong of me to imagine "Orlando Was Here" scrawled above his ass.

    Base Camp, With Hobbits (Free Drabble Inside!)
    Moving my stuff out of FundieJournal. Let's have a hobbit drabble!

    Title: Training Day
    Author: Gardnerhill
    Words: 100
    Rating: G


    TRAINING DAY

    The giant spider chittered angrily and lunged at its fresh meat.

    Little Bilbo, alone and frightened in the wild, shouted with his own anger and advanced upon the Mirkwood monster, brandishing Sting. No friends of his would die by those poison fangs today, and he, Bilbo, would not wind up wrapped and hanging in foul spider-cords!

    From far outside of Mirkwood, a voice called.

    "Frodo! Samwise!"

    Spider and hobbit stopped their combat.

    "Tea's ready, lads!"

    The spell was broken.

    Frodo jumped up from his crouch on hands and knees. Sam dropped the stick. Both boys ran, laughing, into Bag End.
