So, uh, those of you waiting for the other shoe to drop? Here goes. Because really, like I couldn't do a bit of drama? (also, a note on the posting schedule: I've been doing Mon/Wed/Fri, but due to Real Life going all pear shaped and going out of town for Mother's Day weekend, I'm going to post Tues/Thurs for the last for chapters of this fic.)

Author's Notes: I blame midassa_in_gold for this, completely, utterly, and entirely. All of this. Thanks, as always, to my betas: totally4ryo, k8stamps, and gingerlr. This chapter is short, but it is not, I repeat, not the shortest chapter. This chapter is also the reason why this story gave me fits -- it was the second to write itself, and insisted on writing itself in present tense.

Title: Bitterness Is A Paralytic
Date Written: 3/23/11
Rating: PG-13/T
Word Count: 2,259
Fandom: BBC's Sherlock
Disclaimer: Not mine, property of their respective owners
Characters/Pairings: John Watson, Harry Watson/Clara, insinuated John/Sherlock
Spoilers: Slight for the series in the form of quotes as scene headers, mostly for episode 1
Warnings: Mentions of alcohol dependency/abuse
Author's Notes: I blame midassa_in_gold for getting me into BBC's Sherlock. That's my story and I'm sticking to it. If you haven't seen/heard of it, here's why you should watch it: it's only 3 episodes long, and created by Mark Gatiss and Steven Moffet. Yeah, the guy who made Who awesome again.

So today's my birthday, and as a hobbit birthday present to my long-suffering f-list (I swear I'm still alive, guys), I bring you fic, in hopes that you won't sacrifice me to the literary gods for not writing lately. Thanks, as always, to my betas: totally4ryo, k8stamps and gingerlr.

Also, does anyone know any good Sherlock fic comms? My comm-fu is lacking at the moment.
