kriskenshin asked for: ”After the fall Sherlock creates the character ‘Moran’ so he can control Moriarty’s network and take it down. John is also trying to take down Moriarty’s network and plans to kill ‘Moran’ not knowing it is Sherlock.”
I am really incredibly stoked for this prompt and I really just hope I don’t fuck it up. (This has been in my drafts for ages but I was lucky enough to meet Kris at 221b Con and I wanted to get this done for her. <3)
There’s an odd hush about the compound as everyone readies their equipment. Buckles are snapped shut, zippers are pulled closed and ropes are wound. It is not silent, but the sounds are merely out of necessity. No one speaks for fear of breaking the delicate calm.
John checks the magazine before snapping it back into his gun. He adjusts the volume on his radio and recites the pass code for the storage yard in his head. Months of planning have brought him to this very instant and he can’t let himself down by not being ready. He is. It’s time.
John looks around at the group of men and women around him, dressed in black and leather, and grins out of the side of his mouth.
“Put on your war paint,” he tells them, at last. Black lines are drawn under eyes and wool balaclavas are pulled down. They pile into an unmarked van and manhandle their hostage into position. Then they are out on London’s dark streets, driving towards destiny.
*paws at this pathetically* Where’s the rest? I needs it. NEEDS it.
