Prompt #8, brought to you by maestress83: There Has Been Some Villainy Here: Use a villain's POV.

Every coin has two sides. Heads. Tails.

Some people, stupid people, think of us as two sides of the same coin. He's brilliant. I'm mad. He's "good." I'm "evil."

They're fools.

Others think we're so much alike that only his friend keeps him from becoming me. They're closer to right. They miss the vital truth, though, because they're too STUPID to see it.

We're already the same. Cast from the same die. Minted together. Identical.

I'll drag him down, I'll burn him, and I'll. Show. Them! Then even the IDIOTS will understand.

Two sides? Hardly. We are the same coin.

I can practically hear Andrew Scott's accent in my ears. Well done!

Thanks! That's what I was hoping for. :-)

Must have broken Jim's heart when Sherlock seemed to have acted so stupidly.

[monkeybard]

Well, he is a sensitive soul, our Jim.
