Twin AU. Three years after the fall, Sherlock has returned. But it appears - Jim has not. A man, claiming to be the infamous Richard Brook, turns up at their doorstep - still mourning the loss of his dead brother.
Step. Step. Step.
That feeling of paranoia had been sinking in all day now. For every step he took he thought he heard another. Every time he turned he could have sworn a shadow flickered. Earlier that evening, after a long day of one bad audition after another, he’d been concerned; then he’d spoken to his little brother.
‘Lay low.’ He said. 'Can’t have you ruining things.’ He said.
Why was it, whenever his brother had some big job it was Richard who had to step back; Richard had to blend in, had to turn invisible? There was nothing he could do about it, Jim had no problem pointing that out; the phone conversation ended with the actor needing some air.
The paranoia meant nothing now. It wasn’t paranoia anymore, it was a fact. He was being followed. Jim’s orders to ensure he behaved, he figured. Still, Richard couldn’t say he was too pleased with the idea of being tailed… His brother wasn’t known for employing the most… reputable of gentleman.
What if it was one of those murderers? Or child molesters? Oh god, or a parent murdering child molester who kidnapped people and sold them for ransom in order to pay off their pornography debt? He wouldn’t be surprised if Jim hired someone like that to do his dirty work.
The sudden thought did spark a sudden impulse of fear through Richard, his step quickening as he moved down the long street. He was suddenly aware of how dark it was getting and just how far the distance was between him and his flat.
Richard took a sharp turn down an alleyway, quick to press himself back against the cool brick inlet of the building he was next to. He held his breath and peered around the building to the alley entrance, trying to see if a figure would emerge.
It’s the same with Jim. People seem to forget he’s written two books too… it’s weird the shit people don’t actually know. Also, how do you not know they live on Conduit street?!You know, it’s funny. I looked for addresses (real ones mind you) on Conduit Street and kept coming across shops. But yeah, in canon they live on Conduit Street — or at least, Sebastian does. And yes, he has.
But like, for me that stuff only applies if you want to stick by canon real hard, or if you’re discussing it like we are. It’s real stupid stuff like the levels of education (Eton = high school basically, Oxford = University) and the ID tags.. since like, I’m from the UK. though I do understand why people may get confused or wouldn’t know this stuff. i dunno, I don’t think I have Seb living at Conduit Street? I don’t even remember. :cwoops. rambled unrelated nonsense there.
( Yeah, but Moriarty also has a front on Conduit street. A whore house not a shop, but same basic principles. I still find it hilarious there’s a Westwood store on Conduit street. I find the irony of that amusing.
I don’t know. I was talking to a “sherlock expert” once at a con and they claimed to know all this stuff except they knew next to nothing about anyone other than Sherlock and John. )
