Watch You Dance. PG. Moriarty +/ Sherlock, Sherlock +/ John. Basically same as the show.

[cold-feets.livejournal.com]

It rings four times, and Sherlock's never been a patient man, no, but a curious one? Always.

"Now this is unexpected, Sherlock. Truly," a voice lilts at the end of the line. It's the man he met at the hospital, clearly, but it is not Jim From IT.

And it's that moment that he realizes: this is all part of the game.

"Who are you?"

"It's why I like you, you know," the man continues. "Just when I think I've got you figured out, you always surprise me. Like that Watson fellow. He's rather charming, isn't he? Where'd you find him? Though, I must say," he adds with a tsk, "I don't see it lasting."

Sherlock doesn't respond. He's already at the disadvantage having admitted that he does not know. It's a dangerous position to be in, and the only way to get himself out of it is by listening.

"You'll figure it out soon enough. And when you do, Sherlock... You need me. You'll soon see that. We keep a balance, you and I. And let's be honest with one another, shall we?" He lowers his voice. "It's never this good with anyone else, is it?"

Moriarty.

He doesn't know, not yet, not for sure, but he hopes, he wants, and the thrill of it makes him shiver.

"No," Sherlock says.

"No," Not Jim agrees. "I hope you're enjoying it. Really, I do. Now. Rest up, dear. You'll be hearing from me again soon."

Sherlock clenches the phone tight in his hand. "Looking forward to it."

Hidden Light

[blue-sunflowers.livejournal.com]

"You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house." Matthew 5:14-5:15

Silently, Raphael watched the body laying on the hospital bed. The monitors surrounding the boy - no, man now - emitted faint beeps as they kept track of the frail human system that tethered this particular soul to the Earth.

"It's not your time to return home just yet, little one," murmured the healer, as he moved closer to the bed. "Still much work left for you to do..." A gentle glow surrounded the form of the man, who up until this point hadn't moved. Suddenly, the body gave a weak cough.

Smiling gently, Raphael pulled back, pleased with the response. Of all the times that had necessitated a visit to this particular soul, the situation before him had turned out to be the most dire. "Anthrax, my friend?" A small chuckle escaped the Angel. "You know you're supposed to suffer while here, but you don't have to willingly go look for it."

Footsteps outside the room alerted Raphael that he was not the only one checking up on a treasured colleague. An older man entered, unable to see the Archangel, and walked to the bed. Sitting down on the chair beside it, the man gently chided the quiet form. "Man, Reid, I swear if you don't wake up soon, I'm calling dibs on your Jello."

Fading out, Raphael smiled again. While Spencer Reid's days on Earth would yet be filled with many more obstacles that normal mortals would not be able to endure, they would also be filled with love and friendship from the humans closest to him.

...at least until he returned to his true friends, and his rightful place in Heaven.
