Title: And I Beheld
Fandom/Rating: Sherlock (BBC), rated G
Word Count: 100 words

Summary:
 The four horsemen find a use (or is that being used?)
Author's Note: Written for watsons_woes JWP#17. A continuation of my Four Horsemen Verse (wherein John rescues 4 kittens and Sherlock names them after the Four Horsemen because of course he does.) Title from Revelation 6:5 (King James Bible version).

Sherlock examined John carefully. Tightness to the brow. Clenched jaw. Posture three degrees straighter than standard. Slight tremor in the... Oh.

Easily diagnosing that John's wounds, both mental and physical, were causing him discomfort. Sherlock would normally ignore it, but his plans for tonight's case required an assistant, what to do?

Offers of alcohol and/or drugs were considered and summarily discarded.

Scooping the four horsemen up, Sherlock dumped them on John's lap. "Studies suggest kittens require a minimum of 7.3 hours socialization daily to mature properly. Pestilence, in particular, appreciates chin rubs."

Sherlock watched as John's shoulders incrementally relaxed. Success.

Excellent solution, Sherlock. And whether or not the kittens were being used, I'm sure they were happy too.

Most likely! Kittens are easy that way.

Very cute. Nice to use that big brain (and the four kittens) to good use.

Glad you liked it! :)

Now you've done it. You have successfully created a new universe! And one where the one in the jumper is not the cuddliest thing in it. Congratulations!

Kitten therapy is always appropriate!
