Rating: G
Length: 100
Spoilers: Post-Reichenbach
This relates to Christmas Cards from 2 December and Tree from 9 December, so yes, there is more emotional Watson Whumpage.
The strand lights weren’t a mess. John had expected to spend a long time untangling them before putting them up on Mrs. Hudson’s tree. In a way, he was disappointed--if he could be said to feel much of anything these days. He’d looked forward to the task of working out the snarls and knots. It was mindless, straightforward, and finite. A puzzle he could focus on to block out other things.
Puzzles. He’d been good at them before meeting Sherlock; he’d gotten better since. Now the only mystery John dealt with was how to survive another day without him.
