through dangers untold and hardships unnumbered . . .

When I wrote "Sides of a Coin," I didn't think there was going to be a sequel, but clearly I was mistaken. This 'verse will not leave me alone! I'm not entirely convinced this story is ready for posting, but I'm tired of looking at it and I wanted to get it up before new Sherlock canon explodes everything. Enjoy!



TITLE: "Darkest Before"
AUTHOR: remindmeofthe (Cathryn)

DISCLAIMER: Sherlock and Cabin Pressure are the property of their respective owners. The author of this fic takes no credit and makes no money.

( Molly puts the slip of paper John Watson gave her on top of her dresser, where it catches her eye every morning when she gets dressed. )

So bethan_b_bad introduced me to this wonderful radio comedy called Cabin Pressure a few weeks ago, and it has become one of my favorite things to currently exist. I've been reading through the prompt meme these past few days, and this prompt caught my eye, because Arthur would be totally brilliant with small children. So I wrote this.

(I'll do the post where I try to convert people later. I don't think it will be very long, because all you have to do these days on the Internet is say "Benedict Cumberbatch" and people go, "Where do I sign up?")



( 'You're a mother,' is the first thing Martin says, 'can't you make it stop?' )
