Pairing: Sherlock Holmes/John Watson
Length: 11375
Rating: M
Warnings: None
Verse: Sherlock BBC
Author's summary: John is living a quiet life at 221B with his son when Sherlock Holmes, dead and gone ten years, appears at his door. There’s an excellent reason he’s been gone, and several very good ones for taking him back, but the best one of all is Will, who falls in love with Sherlock as surely as John once did.
Reccer's comments: "“Do you know twenty questions, Mr. Sherlock?” Will asks. John hides a grin at Will’s form of address.
“I know hundreds of questions. Which twenty would you like?” Sherlock answers.
Will grins at him. He is becoming accustomed to Sherlock. He catches on quickly.
“Do you know how to play the game called ‘Twenty Questions?’” he rephrases. He is sitting cross legged at the low table in front of the sofa.
“I expect I do,” says Sherlock. “We called the game ‘Yes and No.’” He turns onto his back and crosses his hands on his belly, waiting patiently, the barest of smiles on his face. John’s tablet is in his hands but his focus in on Sherlock, on Will. On Will slowly bringing Sherlock back to life.
“Well my teacher calls it Twenty Questions,” Will informs him. “Though the answers are always Yes or No, aren’t they?” He cocks his head a bit to one side, a pose John always finds endearing. “Are you ready, Mr. Sherlock?”
“I’m ready,” says Sherlock. “Is it made of wood?”
Will purses his lips. He apparently does not like this first question. “Yes,” he says, reluctantly.
“Is it the violin?” asks Sherlock.
John shakes his head and hides a smile. Sherlock clearly does not understand how to play games with children.
“Yes,” grumbles Will."
For my last rec this month, I leave you with this brilliant AU of Sherlock's return. It was written prior to S3 and does have mentions of past John/Mary (John remembers his wife with love and it's clear her memory is kept alive for Will). I can't gush enough about this one. It's sweet, heartbreaking, loving, sad, funny, and hopeful. Will, John's young son, is one of my favorite fic OCs and is completely believable in this story. There's not a false note to be found here. I hope you enjoy this story.
