Text!Fic: The 15:06 to Totnes

Am still working on my colossus but this thing refused to be put off any longer. Plus I thought it would be nice to get something up before the Meetup on Saturday so here you go. Just a bit of fun really.

Title: The 15:06 to Totnes
Beta:

jupiter_ash
Rating: PG
Characters: Sherlock, John
Summary: Sherlock has a train to catch but John has to work. This is not acceptable
Notes: This is apparently what happens when I read ACD canon. Case based off Silver Blaze. Totnes is a real place near Dartmoor. Train times given are real. My Beta would like it pointed out that the lack of punctuation in John's texts is intentional and not her fault.

How does a whole racehorse go missing?

Message received 13:13
There is precedent. Even you’ve heard of Shergar.
SH

Message sent 13:14
Is this linked?

Message received 13:15
Don’t be stupid.
SH

Message sent 13:15
You brought it up

Message received 13:16

SH

Message sent 13:16
You want me to come?

Message received 13:16
Obviously.
SH

Message sent 13:17
Need to be a later train then. Don’t get off till 5

Message received 13:17
Urgent.
SH

Message sent 13:17

Message received 13:18
Not if I get there.
SH

Message sent 13:18
Working

Message received 13:18
Boring.
SH

Message sent 13:19
How long are we going to be away so I can tell Sarah I’ll be unavailable for work?

Message received 13:20
Tell her you’re unavailable now.
SH

Message sent 13:20
Come on I can’t leave her in the lurch

Message received 13:20
How is leaving now leaving her more in the lurch than not being there tomorrow?
SH

Message sent 13:21
I’d like to give her warning

Message received 13:22
Warn her you need to be at Paddington by 15:06.
SH

Message sent 13:23
I’m not leaving

Message received 13:23
Packing your gun.
SH

Message sent 13:25
Good. You get the bags and take them up first. I’ll get a later train and meet you there. Text me the hotel address

Message received 13:26
Don’t make me come and get you.
SH

Message sent 13:28
I can get a train at 18:03. Be in Totnes by 21:00

Message received 13:29
On way to surgery.
SH

Message sent 13:30

SH

Message sent 13:36
No

Message received 13:36
Then let me in.
SH

Message sent 13:37
Busy

Message received 13:37
You haven’t got a patient in there and you haven’t buzzed for a new one.
SH

Message sent 13:38
That’s because if I open the door you’ll try to get in

Message received 13:39
If you’re not working you may as well come to Totnes with me.
SH

Message sent 13:40
I’d be working if you went away

Message received 13:40
But I won’t so you’re not.
SH

Message sent 13:40
Go away Sherlock

Message received 13:41
We’ll miss our train.
SH

Message sent 13:41
No you’ll miss your train. My train doesn’t go till 18:03

Message received 13:42
You can’t out stubborn me, John.
SH

Message sent 13:42

Message received 13:43

You’re still in the surgery I can hear you

Message sent 15:59
What are you doing?

Message sent 14:01
Sherlock?

Message sent 14:02
You can’t make me come out

Message sent 14:04
I can hear shouting what are you doing?

Message received 14:05
I’m solving your patients.
SH

Message sent 14:06
Oh god

Message received 14:06
If I solve them all for you you don’t need to stay till 5.
SH

Message sent 14:07
Why was there shouting?

Message received 14:08
One took offence.
SH

Message sent 14:09
Which one?

Message received 14:09
Mr Hallinson.
SH

Message sent 14:10
He’s huge!

Message received 14:10
I’m aware of that.
SH

Message sent 14:11
He used to be wrestler!

Message received 14:11
I know. He didn’t like it when I told him he used to throw fights.
SH

Message sent 14:12
What?

Message received 14:13
I’m coming in.
SH

Message sent 14:13
No!

Message received 14:14
Sarah is letting me in.
SH

Message sent 14:14
I don’t know how you persuaded her but you’re not coming in

Message received 14:15
I’m a patient.
SH

Message sent 14:15
No you’re not you’re a pain

Message received 14:16
What would it take to make me a patient?
SH

Message sent: 14:17
A real actual injury

Message received 14:17
Define ‘real actual’ injury.
SH

Message sent 14:18
One with blood. Lots and lots of blood.

Message received 14:19
Will approximately 3/5 of a pint do?
SH

Message sent 14:20
What? Are you thinking of giving yourself an injury just to get in?

Message received 14:21
No, Mr Hallinson has already taken care of that.
SH

Message sent 14:23
What?

Message received 14:25
Sarah thinks it might be broken.
SH

Message sent 14:26
Are you kidding?

Message received 14:27
She says I need to go to the hospital for x-rays.
SH

Message sent 14:28
Is this a joke?

Message received 14:29
I’m not sure that’s supposed to stick out like that.
SH

Message sent 14:30
Are you alright?

Message received 14:30
Feel a bit woozy.
SH

Message sent 14:31
Why are you still texting?

Message received 14:32
Because you’re still shut in your room.
SH

Message sent 14:33
Coming out now

Message received 14:33
Hope we don’t miss our train.
SH

Message sent 18:57
No sorry can’t come out tonight am in Totnes. You would not believe the act Sherlock pulled to get me out here.

So much love!

So much gratitude back!

I laughed maniacally at the repeated:
John.
SH
section. He would SO do that!

Of COURSE he would. Happy to have made you laugh!

ROFLMAO!!! When I got to the repeats I completely cracked up. I have been known to do similar things to the people I love, but I'm not as quick as Sherlock.

Also your "long unusual words" icon amuses me greatly.

I like this icon too but I'm not sure who made it...

So you're not capable of sending a text every 7.5 seconds? *gasp*

"Message received 14:05
I’m solving your patients.
SH"

*dies [but in a good way]*

Well I wouldn't want you to die in a bad way...

Glad you liked!

That was HILARIOUS! I loved it. Good job.

*grin*

Thanks!

BRB. Loling forever! :D

The constant single word "John." messages reminded me so HARD of the age-old game of "I'm not touching you!" that I thought I would DIE. DIE, I tell you! :D

And I might be in the minority, but I think he really did get into a fight with that guy, which is why his last text was "I hope we don't miss our train" because I thought he thought that John could fix him quickly or something. *lol* ;) Anyhoo - fake injury or real one, this was definitely one HILARIOUS fic, Trills! And I AM indeed still loling forever in the aftermath of it. ;) So - BRAVO, m'dear! BRAVO!!! :D

~Sharma :)

Wow! What a reaction! You have one very flattered and extremly pleased author here, I can tell you.

Am glad you have caused so much loling. Loling is never ever a bad thing and to cause it in other people is a privilege.

Thankyou so much for commenting!

LOL! Sherlock really knows how to be manipulative! XD

Sherlock is the KING of manipulation. That's why I love him so much...

Glad you liked! Thanks for commenting

::smiles::

They. Are. The. BEST!

They really are, aren't they?

Glad you liked!

Ahahaha that was brilliant! And you just know that John would check each one of those 'John' messages, just in case it was something important!

*g*

Thanks! Am glad you liked.

Poor John, his phone would have just gone mental with beeping...

I can see Sherlock doing something like this to get his way. Well done!
I've recced this in my rec post for this week.

Wow! Utterly flattered here. Head won't fit through the door...

*clicks on links to look at recs*

Ooh shiny fics...

This is so brilliant :)
And so very Sherlock

Hee! Thanks!
Glad you think so :)

*giggles* Love it!

Thanks!

Classic! Especially this bit:

Message sent 13:17
The horse will still be missing in a few hours

Message received 13:18
Not if I get there.
SH

Message sent 13:18
Working

Message received 13:18
Boring.
SH

Great job, inspired format.

*dies of blush*

So glad you liked it! The format was fun to play with and Sherlock's confidence in his own ability knows no bounds...

Sorry it's taken me so long to reply to your comment!

Ahahaha ^^. That was hilarious!
John = Saint!

John is most definitely a saint. Personally I think he did quite well lasting as long as he did. It was obvious he was fighting a losing battle.

Thanks for reading! Sorry it's taken me this long to respond. Am useless...

Oh Sherlock, you overgrown child. ♥

He can definitely be a child when he feels like it ;)

Glad you enjoyed!

Oh Lord, this is hilarious. I giggled all the way through it. Well done!

Hee! You can't giggle it's a... no wait... giggle all you want!

Glad you liked!

John. John. John. John. John. John. John. John. John. John. John. John. John. John. John.

I SHRIEKED with laughter. SHRIEKED. As if the damn dogs round here weren't neurotic enough.

Best last line to the textfic possible. XD

Wow, shrieking! Am impressed.

*grin*

Of course Sherlock would do that. And it would drive anyone mad having their phone go mental receiving dozens of text messages that just said their name...

Best last line to the textfic possible. XD

OK now my head will be too big to fit through the door...

Thankyou so much for your lovely comment! Am glad you enjoyed the fic so much

BRB, LOLing forever.

Message received 14:29
I’m not sure that’s supposed to stick out like that.
SH

Forever in LOLand.

*wide panic filled eyes*

No! Come back from LOLand! I'm glad you like it but I'll miss you...

"I'm solving your patients."

I CACKLED. You made me CACKLE, ffs.

Perfect voices, so funny, and completely true to character.

Yay! Cackling! Will tick that off my achievment list: made someone cackle. (Also, thanks to your icon I now picture you as Snape cackling which is giving me all kinds of joy)

Glad you liked!

Seriously, Sherlock? (I love this!)

*g*

Thanks!

Was already giggling and then the neverending string of "John" messages sent me over the edge. This is brilliant and hilarious. ♥

Hee! Thanks! Serious blushing going on here. Am happy you liked.

Rereading this and LOL'ing again.

And making the author feel happy all over again! Thanks for the review!

Bahahahahahahahaha.

This is one of the funniest stories I've read yet. Great voices and format!

Love love loved this. Sherlock is a persistent bugger.
