castironOkay, that dream I had a couple weeks back about Sherlock Holmes being a parrot that was seeing a therapist? I'm writing the fic. BBC-verse; 4500 words so far; I'm guessing 10-15K by time it's done.
Anyone up for betaing/Britpicking/birdpicking, either after it's done or piecemeal as I finish chapters?
Transcript of text input by subject "S" to Dr. V. J. Hunter
Session 1
Let me state for the record that I am only talking to you because Mycroft ordered it. Normally I don't care what that snake wants, but he has said this is his condition for his help. I have no idea why; even I find Mycroft inscrutable at times.
Yes, I have been exhibiting stress behaviors. Will all your comments be this obvious? Are you now going to tell me that I'm blue and that there are circles around my eyes?
Why do you want me to tell you my life story? Surely Mycroft has briefed you. I thought that therapists were supposed to help solve problems. This is my problem: John is gone. John has probably been kidnapped. John may be dead. Mycroft has imprisoned me here and will not let me search for him. How will telling you my life from the egg solve any of these problems?
Very well. I accept that it will at least fill an hour or two while we wait. Do you have a pen or pencil that is expendable?
That relieved some stress. The beginning, then.
