The Personal Blog of Dr. John H. Watson

Adventures in Parenting

If anyone doesn't hear from me after this, it is because my flatmate has does something drastic. Like stolen my laptop and journal and found some elaborate place to hide them in. Or destroyed them all together. Or he is plotting my horrible demise. I can't say for sure.

So I'm going to type this as quickly as I can, hopefully I'll manage to get a head start on him.

I could be wrong, he might not care but it doesn't hurt to cover my bases.

Alright. Here goes.

Sherlock makes a decent parent. Really, he does. Maybe not the best parent there ever was, but he's certainly better than the entirety of Scotland Yard thought it might be. And honestly? All that stuff with the kids made me glad I managed to get off easy--Well that is a bit of a lie. I didn't really get off easy. Still had to help take care of the kid. She wasn't that bad. Harry always said I'd make a great uncle, I guess she was right. I may have done a bit of spoiling. Not much. Just a bit.

Right. I'm going to go hide my laptop before something bad happens to it. Just in case.

[ And the journal is opened to an amused and pleased John: ] Feels good to be blogging, even if it isn't about cases.

You're stuck in a magical, kidnapping castle...

And you blog.

Really?

Really.

...Well, I suppose it's not any worse than an entry in the journal.

Except less accessible.

Also redundant.

Might be, but I don't mind. I'm not really blogging for the sake of others, to be honest.

So you're just, what, blogging about the castle? [ Hasn't actually seen his blog. Computers are too much hassle. ]

[Her first visit to CastleNet and she gets to read abut kids. Great. She's still trying to forget the experience and the memories its dredged up.]

You got a typo in there. You called Harry a she.

Harry is my sister, believe it or not.

Oh. I. [Hm. Awkward.] Nickname?

[ He laughs. ] Yeah, short for Harriet.

[pretty much IMMEDIATELY after this goes up:]

Really, John? Not a single better thing for you to be writing about?

[HOW DARE YOU HE HAS A REPUTATION TO UPHOLD OMG.........]

Well, I'm not going to write about the fight I had with the toaster.

[ OH LOOK HOW MUCH HE CARES. ]

Why not? That's a worthwhile story to tell. Quite harrowing.

No, not it was not. It was boring and no one needs to know.

[And, because Crowley is bored, and because John is one of his favourite mortals to play with, he's going to hack into John's blog.

Now, there is a wonderful soundtrack to it.

You guys are SO welcome]

[ OH MY GOD. SERIOUSLY? ]

Crowley!

Oh, hello John. Look. I fixed your blog for you.

Yes, thanks for that. [ He says so sarcastically as he tries to remove the music. ]

[Have a very thoughtful and meaningful comment left on the blog entry:]

triop438213

[ That was the most meaningful, deep, and thoughtful comment he has ever received in his life. So deep and all that he simply cannot bring himself to reply to it. Instead he's just going to stare in awe. ]

Blogging? That sounds like a noise one might make when vomiting -- "blog."

[ Just... give him a second, he needs to laugh. Just a second, it'll be over soon. ]

No, no, that is more of a barrf or ublegh noise.

[ BACK ON TRACK JOHN. ] Blogging is like... writing in a diary, or journal, but it is on a forum that anyone has access to. [ A beat. ] If that makes sense.

Not particularly, no. It is a conference with others, then?

Something like that.

By something bad, do you mean Sherlock deleting your hard drive because you said something like that about him? ;) ;)

- Ray

No, he'd do something worse and imaginative. I wouldn't see it coming.
