He wanted you to be safe, John
Fuck everything.
Rose Tyler meets Sherlock Holmes in the parallel universe.
Rose: So, what’s your name?
Sherlock: Sherlock Holmes, Miss Tyler.
Rose: Your parents are fans of the books, then?
Sherlock: What books?
“You have to go back, you know,” he explained to me as the smoke from his cigarette filled the air in the train. He looked out the window for a moment and watched as the forest landscape flew past. All the places he had been, all the space ships and transporters, a train must be so ordinary for him.
I sighed and pulled my cell phone from my bag. I had been sent messages from Irene and John amost daily, but I never responded. I needed to disappear. I needed time to think, to work out everything that could go wrong in my plan, and every fix to make it right again. I looked up from my phone, “How long has it been, Doctor?”
The Doctor lifted the cigarette from his mouth, “About a year and a half or so, roughly 17 months, I would say. That would be about right.” The Doctor watched intensely as I buried my phone back in my bag and leaned my head up against the window. “Sherlock, you need a doctor. Your doctor.”
“Yes but how do I do it?” I didn’t realize I had raised my voice, and the Doctor raised an eyebrow out of surprise. “There are so many things that could go wrong, things I cannot control…”
“Do what the rest of the human race does.” The Doctor leaned forward, “You and I are alike in one way, we are brilliant. We over-complicate things because we have to knowledge to do so, it’s natural. Put that aside and just try…” The Doctor sat back in his seat and looked out the window, not looking me in the eye as he spoke, “I have seen what John is without you, and you two need each other. You’re two parts of a whole, Sherlock. Who is the blogger without his detective?”
