Interesting, she says…people to protect, she says…I hate to leave this tension so unresolved, but I’ve got a train to catch and normalcy to derail.

Chat later? ;)

Anonymous asked: There's a really loud annoying train that keeps going past my house at night. Could you do... something... about it?

Lucky you…I’ve got just the “something” that’ll do it.

starshipswouldsail-deactivated2 asked: And of course you know me so well. -IA

Better than you know yourself I’d wager. Not all my own doing, of course, but let’s not get too deep into that…

How’s the fugitive life been treating you? I bet you’ve been coming up with all sorts of clever transparent disguises.

Well, what can I say…I was considering Oxfords, but nah…that’s just not you.

Anonymous asked: Other than shoes, what do you see when you look at her?

The question is more, “What do I see in her that I don’t see in everybody else?”

Nothing extraordinary, my dear, nothing beyond any other potential means to an end. Not anymore. But I’ll admit I do love the mistakes people make when they’ve been in hiding too long for their own good.

Oh well now, that leaves you on the guessing and fearing end, doesn’t it? Tread lightly, wayward poet, I am still blest, compared with you…

Anonymous asked: Sherlock has his little sidekick running around with (or for) him, why haven't we seen your pet sniper?

If you could see him it would kind of ruin the whole ~*idea*~, always being there, never being there…

But he knows that. He knows if daddy found out someone saw anything more than a little red dot,

he would be very cross.

People think the ‘M’ stands for a lot of things, but never ‘mercy’. You’re waaaaaaaay off the mark. -JM

tumblrbot asked: WHAT MAKES YOU FEEL BETTER WHEN YOU ARE IN A BAD MOOD?

Oh, I do like this one, truly I do.

Between a nice waltz and a plan gone well…ah, who am I kidding. I can have both. I can have it all.

If I want to.

But I want something very specific.

Sherlock knows. Don’t you, Sherlock.
