Many happy returns (to Tumblr)

Happy Birthday, @consult-johnhwatson. How poetic to create or 'birth' a new blog on your birthday. Welcome back to Tumblr. May your return to Tumblr be calm and blessed. And may your adversaries become hypoxic with envy.

Raise your glasses. I hope you enjoyed your party tonight.

He was a man of habits, narrow and concentrated habits, and I had become one of them.

Happy birthday to Martin Freeman!

I honestly didn't know him before Sherlock, because I didn't watch the Hobbit, mainly. If I would've watched Love Actually with my dad (we're planning to watch it together) then I would've discovered him with this movie. I started Sherlock, like, uh, maybe less than two weeks ago but I can tell that I already love Martin Freeman, especially his humor.

So happy birthday to this man!!

While listening to 'The Moment I Knew' (by Taylor Swift) -and feeling all the sadness and disappointment in her song-, I thought about John.

Because I'm sure he must have felt very similar to Taylor when Sherlock didn't show up to his birthday dinner.

You should've been there Should've burst through the door With that "Baby, I'm right here" smile And it would've felt like A million little shining stars had just aligned And I would've been so happy Christmas lights glisten I've got my eye on the door Just waiting for you to walk in But the time is ticking... (...) And what do you do when the one who means the most to you Is the one who didn't show? You should've been here And I would've been so happy (...) And they're all standing around me singing "Happy birthday to you" But there was one thing missing (...)

Mrs. Hudson attends the first ever birthday party in 221B.

January 6

The fact that Epiphany and Sherlock’s birthday fell on the same date, should surprise no one. He’s quite smug about it himself, like the drama queen he is. I’m inserting an eyeroll right here! This is me a tiny bit inebriated with one glass too many of Tawny Port. No matter, it’s been a lovely day…

My Sacher Torte turned out to be perfect. The sponge had just the right consistency, the apricot jam I bought was exquisite and the chocolate glaze appeared shiny and rich. Sherlock almost drooled when he saw it. 

“Happy birthday, Sherlock,” I say after I hand the cake to John. 

I go over to hug him, and he embraces me for a long time, whispering his thanks, and finishes with kissing my cheek. His eyes are more green than blue today, and they shine bright. He’s happy, I realise. 

Molly comes straight from the airport, a curtesy of Mycroft apparently, which Sherlock scoffs about, but only out of habit it seems. There’s no trace of hostility, and Molly brings a gift that makes Sherlock beam inappropriately. 

“You got your hands on his ears!” Sherlock exclaims when he’s unwraps and opens the small box. 

Molly blushes furiously and looks utterly pleased with herself. Her blush deepens when Sherlock kisses her cheek and thanks her more politely than I’ve ever witnessed him do. 

“Perhaps wait with those until the party’s over?” John suggests mildly with such fondness in his voice, it almost makes me blush too. 

“Of course, John,” Sherlock agrees softly, though I can see he aches to examine whoever’s ears Molly has gifted him. 

***

After my fourth, or was it the fifth glass of port, I take my leave. Molly accompanies me downstairs to collect Tim. I’ll miss him, but in the long run, I think he’s better off with Molly. I’m too accustomed to live alone, and Tim’s onslaught on my furniture is something I can do without. Besides, what I saw before I descended to my flat, made it quite clear that my taxing days are over. 

I turned to close the door to 221b behind me and right there, in front of the fireplace, John cupped Sherlock’s face in his hands, while Sherlock’s hands were secured around John’s waist. Just before their lips met, I heard John’s whisper, and it made my heart swell with affection for the two men. 

“Happy birthday, my love.”

Thank you for following this 37! days of posting with your kind comments, reblogging and encouragement through it all, with the occasional Flash Fiction Friday and Extended Fluffbruary inbetween. And let me express my heartfelt gratitude to Silvergirl who's inspired me to write until this very special day in the Sherlock fandom <3

What to do after this? Ah, yes, I know; prepare for Fluffbruary only weeks away!
