A New Horizon | sherlock holmes

Summary: It’s the end of the semester and the night before graduating with your Bachelors Degree and you reflect on your journey. Sherlock, on the other hand, is determined to let you know how proud he is of you and your accomplishments.

Warnings: nothing but fluff and sweet sherlock

Please do NOT claim, repost, copy or translate my works to other sites. I only publish here and on A03. This fic is purely self-indulgent and I needed some comfort tonight and I hope you enjoy! Thank you for following me along on this journey! Comments and reblogs are most appreciated! Graphic is by @firefly-graphics

The last day of work was agonizing and you want nothing more than to sit down, rest your achy knees and think nothing about the future and what awaits. When you open the door to 221B, Sherlock’s chair is vacant, a long forgotten cup of tea on the endtable next to it along with a well worn book. It was a long boring day for him as well, however, the flat is eerily quite, not at all like the ruckus you usually find yourself surrounded in with him and John bickering or bantering, depending on the mood that day.

You sigh, leaving your bag on the kitchen table amidst the clutter and saunter down the hall into the bedroom, where you find the door left ajar. From there you notice movement, some part of you afraid it might be an intruder, but Sherlock’s scent envelopes you as you push the door open. You didn’t know what to expect but it certainly wasn’t him wearing a graduation cap – your graduation cap for the matter – along with your honor cords. He looked utterly ridiculous but you can’t deny the amusement, the smile pulling at the corners of your mouth.

“Boring day? Or did you and John get into an argument?” You lean against the doorframe, your smile morphing into a smirk at his bewildered expressing, but his eyes soften as the look you up and down, taking in your bedgraggled appearance and tired eyes, the yawn you try and fail to stifle.

“Reminiscing. The outfits are still as horrendous as ever, and these hats are ridiculous!” He grumbles, walking over to wrap you in his arms. You sink into his embrace, wanting to collapse and sleep for the next week.

“I’m proud of you. You worked so hard” He cups your face in his hands, forehead resting against yours, the tassel tickling your cheek, making you squint. Still, you lean in to him, your hand wrapping around the nape of his neck, breathing in the same air as you gently mess with a curl. Here you felt at peace, as if every worry in the world dissapated with his touch The tassel bobbles as he kisses you deeper, his body pressing into you, the missing piece of your puzzle.

“That tickles!”

“What, this?” He chuckles, kissing you softly, the tassel still brushing your cheek. You’d have to admit he looks nice in the odd squareboard hat, can imagine him in his university era, impish smug grin on his face. You didn’t have to try hard to imagine it, for Mrs. Holmes had showed you plenty of young Sherlock to to to his dismay. You thought him handsome, of course, but the mischievous glints in his eye when he was on the brink of cracking a case, or ready to discuss a concept way beyond your expertise filled you with warmth and affection. Deep down inside him, that lonely brilliant boy possed depths of love you couldn’t even fathom, but what he’s given you’ve never taken for granted, cherishing and holding tight to him.

“Penny for your thoughts?” He asks when he pulls away, lips a hairdsbreath from yours. You’re enraptured, utterly his wanting more, this closeness his gentleness was more than you could ever want.

You gaze up into his sapphhires, utterly captivating and you swallow. “I was caught up thinking of you, how lucky I am to have you by my side throughout all this. You’re part of this crazy journey and you know this Bachelors Degree was a crazy pursuit of mine and you never doubted me, I just don’t know how a thank you could suffice.”

He kisses you oh so softly, dipping you in his arms and you smile into the kiss, groaning as he deepens it, eyes dark and determined. So you allow yourself to fall, fall into the infinite depths of him and his love, the pride and affection he has bleeding through each kiss bursting into flam and desperation along your lips, causing you to gasp when you break, panting for air.

“You’re beautiful, intelligent, and mine.” His eyes simmer, full of hope love and adoration, for you are his universe and he’s in awe of you, what you’ve accomplished.

“Sherlock-”

He takes off the hat, placing it inside the garment bag hanging on the hook inside your closet. The prospect was daunting in some way, you didn’t want to trip let alone had no idea what to wear - you’d waited three years for this moment. A moment where all the tears you’d cried to the rooftops, pleading to pass an exam, writing until your bones ached in your fingers, your brain insisting it was never good enough. In the course of the next morning it would matter naught. You would be free, tackling the new horizon up ahead, Sherlock by your side ready as ever to help slay the dragons.

The emotional creatures My project is made out of 2 LED lights (green and yellow) , squareboard,and conductive thread. The are two purple star fish cutout resent the characters of the story . The fish with Green LED is a happy fish and the Fish with freckles and one eye is a sad fish.They are in the darkest part of the ocean and are looking for adventure. Thus I made use of the black background.

There are 4 storys to the project and they are as follows

Story One :Both the star fish were in their “home” reef when they decide to explore other reefs on the other part of the ocean.The fish are in dialogue thus theres not much pausing.

Story 2 : The fish get swept away to a different location. They are both in anxious and regretting.Lights are low for this part of the scene.

Story 3: The fish are in dialogue and realize that there are several different paths they can take and once again they set of to find the reef. They are more optimistic. There is back and forth lighting again.

Story 4: the fish arrive to their destination , and are thrilled to find other wanderers who were also looking for adventure.

What was difficult

It was difficult to have cohesion with the lights. I had incorporated a blink and delay function as the stories were supposed to transition into different scenes.What was new is that the sensor when in contact with hand would turn of one of the LED’s that was new to me. What I could not understand is that I had not programmed the sensor function. If I had the chance to do anything better, I would sure learn how to add more effects to the programming pay more attention to the common errors.
