iwannadoabackflip asked: John has already gone through Sherlock's "death". Sherlock, what would you do if John died (or at least appeared to be)?

Follow his lead. Easily. Dead or faking it, if I full-heartedly believed he was gone, I would join him instantly. There’s no doubt in my mind for my choices.

Sherlock.

I would. You don’t need to test me.

No. It’s just… Thank you. 

Welcome.

Family generally concerns three or more people. Two is a pair… two is partners. If anything, we are closer than family. There is no need for a title to describe how and what we feel for each other. So we could be family, it really just depends on...

If anything, we are closer than family. There is no need for a title to describe how and what we feel for each other. So we could be family, it really just depends on perception. But we are clearly partners - in every sense of the definition. ‘Couple’ sounds very definite and overused.

And John? I know you’ve locked yourself in the bedroom, but I also know you’re reading this now. I want you to understand I’m sorry (apparently this has upset you). Come out. We can discuss about getting a dog.

And maybe I would feel guilty if I killed it.

Anonymous asked: If you weren't together, what would you be doing this very moment?

If, by saying separated, you mean never had met at all my answer would be simple: dead. Drugs, case, poor experiment… death was planned early on for me.

I really hate when you talk like that, you berk.

“Doe eyes” do nothing for the situation, John.

You did stop with the violin.

To respond to you on my phone, yes.  Obviously I can’t play and control the device simultaneously. I’m not that talented.

Continue playing, though. Did you compose this one yourself?

Partially, yes.

Without meeting Sherlock I’d probably have had moved in with Harry around this time. Seems reasonable enough to me.

all--stories asked: If you had to pick a cat/dog breed to describe yourself (if you'll indulge me) what would it be? What would you pick for each other?

I’d be a Welsh Corgi. 

Agreed.

And you’d be a black cat.

Undecided.

It’s my opinion.

We’ve already mentioned what you’d be.

Yes.

And I’d either be a black cat or a black lab. Either would be suiting.

I must agree with that.

Interesting.

undressrehearsal asked: Sherlock, what were your parents like? John, what about yours? And your sister?

My parents were stern… and stubborn. They weren't particularly fond me- Mycroft was always their favorite. I don't remember much of them.

Are they still alive?

The last time Mycroft mentioned them, yes, but that was ages ago.

My parents were very kind and warm-hearted. Although they favored Harry by not caring much if she drank and sent her to Uni, they did love me and I know that. My father died when I was in the military and my mother is still alive. Harry, from what Sherlock has said, may be attempting to cut her drinking, but she’s been addicted since she was in secondary school. She can be nice when she’s not drunk; however, I haven’t seen her sober in decades. 

John, I’m tired.

And…?

Help me.

If you’re tired you don’t need help.

Please. I don't usually sleep during cases.

Fine. Give me a second.

athenafg26 asked: I apologize if this has been asked before because I'm really lame at asking questions. This will probably be a really boring question anyway,(Wow, I'm rambling) but if you could do anything in the world without consequences what would it be and why?

An intricate murder? I haven’t the slightest. 

I’d probably go to a landmark and go past the areas they allow.

John, why are you ignoring me.

You're Sherlock Holmes. Deduce the flat or something.

Come out of the spare room.

I’d rather not.

You’re still angry that I went and met with Harry.

Congratulations.

Come down.

No.

Anonymous asked: This question is for each of you: Pretend it's 5 years ago and you had no clue the other existed. What did you think your life would be like today? What your plans and hopes for the future had you not met Sherlock, John? And Sherlock, same question for you, assuming there were never a John in your life. (What a horribly sad thought, I'm sorry. I get curious about the cruelest things, it seems)

I would be in the war, clueless and oblivious to anything to follow it because my thoughts would only be focused on stopping the man in front of me’s arm from bleeding. But really, if I were to think about it back then, I’d want to come out alive, get married, and have children.

Oh, how tedious.

Raising a family isn’t tedious, Sherlock. Christ, if you parents hadn’t you wouldn’t even be alive.

What a pity that they did.

Don’t talk about yourself like that.

Nevertheless, I’d find a decent flat, ignore Mycroft and any other arse for all of my short eternity, solve cases, and die of some drug overdosage or crime failure. Simple. Done.

Really? And you despise of mine?

Yes, I never had any real intentions on growing old before, well…

Me?

Yes, obviously.

I’m flattered.

Don’t be. You’re a doctor- you’re supposed to persevere people.

Anonymous asked: What would you say that the two of you fight about most often?

Habits.

If you were to put it that way.

Fine- everything.

But not everything, for that likings would be only improbable.

Quit prodding me.

In no way am I doing such th-

Sherlock Holmes!

Yes, dear?

Don’t you ‘Yes, dear’ me. You don’t even say that normally!

Okay, dear.

You’re done for.

I believed I was the one to result in tackling- not you.

Hw cnaoyu-

Same way as you can.

sakuradancer3 asked: If you had to pick one food, one electronic device, one book, one person to live with for the rest of your life, what would they be for you two, respectively?

I’m certain you didn’t need to ask whom we might want to live with. We’d both pick each other. Easily.

Yes. I’d bring my laptop- you?

Agreed.

For food I’d pick jam.

Milk.. modestly.

Oh. Now he’s grinning.

A book, Holmes?

Practical Handbook of Bee Culture.

Harry Potter.

Knew it.

Just to vex you.

sakuradancer3 asked: If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be? Does your flat mate agree?

I’d be more emotional, sentimental in the manner. I think John would appreciate it, seeing as I seem to get myself into trouble due to this.

Have I told you before that I actually admire this aspect about you?

Not yet, no. Why? It doesn’t seem appealing to be difficult when dealing with reactions.

It’s fascinating. Makes me try harder and rethink myself. I desire you reciprocation more and when I finally receive it it’s significantly important to me.

What would you change about yourself?

My height. It’s always been a disadvantage.

Not when punching me.

Drop it you git. It taught you a lesson.

Don’t play Mycroft.

You bloody fool.

You enjoyed every second of it.

Nevertheless.
