sherlock
will lose his shit planning his and john’s wedding; he’ll want everything to be
perfect, he’ll flat-out panic because of stuff like the colour of the flower
arrangements and the height of the cake in centimeters, because this is
supposed to be a perfect day and he can make john so very happy if he
doesn’t do it wrong this time, and their wedding will be considerably
smaller and less big of a deal than john’s first wedding, but sherlock
will take it so so very seriously; and john will be like ?? sherlock,
love, i don’t give a fuck about the flowers, of course it will be perfect, no
matter what the cake is like and no matter what the best men are
wearing, it’ll be perfect because i’m marrying you and you are perfect and he’ll smile at his fiancé and sherlock will smile back and fiddle with his ring and sherlock’s chin will WOBBLE SO MUCH JUST KILL MEAnd can you imagine John coming home one day and Sherlock has everything up on the wall like a crime scene and he’s in his robe pacing back and forth, nearly tearing out his hair, yelling down the phone, “No! I specifically said that the arrangements were to be cream colored Ranunculus, not roses. And the hydrangea are to be lapis, not denim! Are you color blind? IT IS NOT THE SAME THING!”
And John takes the phone, mutters an apology and a quick, “We’ll ring you back.” And drops the mobile onto the coffee table with a sigh. “Sherlock, love, what is going on?”
And Sherlock is indignant and frustrated and snarling and pacing more. “John these people are IDIOTS! That twit tried to convince me that roses are just as good as ranunculus. And clearly he has no visual ability to discern the various hues of foliole. And the bakery, if one could even call it that, wanted to produce a fondant monstrosity that was only twenty-five centimeters! TWENTY-FIVE, JOHN! We agreed on forty-eight! Anything less is a sheet cake. A SHEET CAKE! JOHN! And someone, who will remain nameless, Mike Stamford, thought the suits should have… have… CUMMERBUNDS! MY GOD! CUMMERBUNDS! JOHN! THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE!” And then Sherlock drops like a rock, sprawling on the sofa with a whine and a whimper, clutching his head as though in pain.
So John pulls the coffee table away from the couch and drops onto his haunches between Sherlock’s knees and lets his palms rest on Sherlock’s thighs. “Sherlock, Love. Look at me?” And Sherlock would be sulking enough that John would have to cup his chin and lift his face. “Sherlock, listen to me. You know I don’t give a fuck about the flowers. And I don’t care about the bloody cake. And I really don’t sodding well think what the groomsmen wear is at all relevant.” And he would give Sherlock such a long look, willing him to understand. “And do you know why? Sherlock? Do you?”
And Sherlock would pout and shake his head ever so slightly.
And John would just sigh fondly. “Because it will be perfect. Because you are perfect.” And in the silence that followed, John’s brows would knit together as he waited for Sherlock to understand. And he’d watch as Sherlock’s lip wobbled ever so slightly. Then a bit more, before the corners twitched into a small smile. And John’s mouth would break into grin, and he would lean forward and whisper, “You’re perfect,” against Sherlock’s lips before kissing him senseless.
HOW THE HELL DID YOU TAKE THIS SILLY THING
AND MADE IT SO BEAUTIFUL
WHAT IS THIS SORCERY
Go Fund Me for Cleverwholigan
So. I’m not a huge fan of crowd funding, and I know most people are struggling. But a friend of mine started this one and I figure I’ll drop it here once – absolutely NO obligations. Everyone asks what they can do to help and the truth is…what we lack the most is money. Winter is already tough. We usually don’t take paychecks at my business and live off of credit cards and very anemic savings accounts. We don’t buy new clothes or things, sometimes we don’t buy oil for our heater (altho this year we did – credit card), and we skip buying gifts for the holidays. This year is even tougher because, after all is said and done, we’ll probably have closed an extra 20-30 days that we could be doing business because of both our surgeries, recoveries, and check-ups. This is our third year in business and the one where we hoped things would “get easier” – it hasnt. So I’m leaving this here…if you want to help, please do. If you don’t or are unable, know that your positive thoughts, kind words, and friendship are more than enough.
