I AM
_ _ _ _
LOCKED
So, Atlin is staying with me. Apparently, this means that I have to write about shoes - despite ranking heels slightly above thumbscrews as instruments of torture and finding them as sexy as Anderson on a bad breath day. What can I say? She is as persuasive as she is adorable…
“You have a shoe.”
“I know.”
Sherlock sat up on the sofa. “Is there some reason…?”
“She bought them… to go with my jumper.”
Sherlock kept his face straight with an effort. “And you have one because…?”
John glared at him. “I have one because she threw one at me.” He dumped the stripey footwear on the coffee table and pulled up his jumper to display the distinctive impact mark of a stiletto heel on his chest.
Sherlock attempted to focus on the mark rather than the chest.
John dropped down onto the end of the sofa. “Apparently I am too ‘into my flatmate’ to appreciate her efforts.”
Sherlock managed not to enquire exactly how far into his flatmate John would like to go.
John sighed, leaning his head back on the top of the seat cushions.
“I don’t know what I’m doing wrong.”
“Would an itemised list be helpful?”
“I doubt it.”
Sherlock hesitated, an array of contradictory platitudes marching confusingly through his mind as he debated taking a risk he’d been skirting for months. “Perhaps you’re looking in the wrong place?”
John rolled his head round to the side so that he was looking at Sherlock’s face. “I don’t see…” His words died away, the world fading around them as they stared at each other.
“You idiot!”
Sherlock sat up straighter. “There’s no need…”
“There’s every need! Why the hell did you never say anything? You knew I was interested - you’ve known since that very first night! Why did you…?” John broke off. “Never mind. That’s enough time wasted. Come here. You come here to me right now.”
There was no room for argument and no objection to be made.
Sherlock came.

RULES!
- Only reblogs counts
- Please have an open ask box so I can contact you.

The giveaway will end July 1st.

I decided to do this giveaway becouse everyone loves free stuff and everyone loves the Avengers.
So, here are the things I’m giving away: 1 Avengers T-shirt,1 Iron man USB flash drive, 1 Loki bobble-head.RULES:
- YOU MUST FOLLOW ME AND GIVE ME YOUR SOUL !!!!!!!!! lol jk, you don’t have to do any of that. Just reblog this post as many times as you want.
- Leave your ask box open so I can contact you if you win.
- The giveaway ends on the 8th of June.
- I will ship to anywhere in the world.
If you need any more information just send me a message. GOOD LUCK! :)
YOU GUYS NEARLY 11,000 OF YOU PUT UP WITH ME ON A DAILY BASIS. You guys listen to more of my crap than my own boyfriend generally does. That deserves rewarding. So this is an extra SPECIAL tea give away, and there will be THREE winners. Oh my god. Want a chance to become one of those lucky three people? Read on and follow directions.
THE PRIZES:
- First Place Prize: A set of all seven Sherlock Shipper tea blends [Sherlock/Moriarty, Sherlock/Irene, Moriarty/Moran, Mycroft/Lestrade, Lestrade/John, Lestrade/Molly, Molly/Moriarty]
- Second Place Prize: A set of all four* Avengers Teas [Thor, Loki, Steve Rogers, and Coulson *and possibly also Tony Stark if I make a tea for him soon]
- Third Place Prize: A set of all three Doctor Who Teas [The TARDIS, Amy Pond, and Rory]
- IN ADDITION TO THE ABOVE PRIZE PACKS: Each winner will get ONE blend specially created for them. It can be a character or ship or show or book or whatever that I haven’t done that they’d like me to do. It can even be a blend made based on THEM. Whatever the winners would like. They each get to request one, and they will receive it with their other teas.
I MIGHT ADD TO THESE PRIZES. If this gets reblogged like, a lot, or something, I might lose my head and also send the winners mugs to go with their tea. Or a book. WE’LL SEE.
THE RULES:
- Anyone ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD can enter EXCEPT AUSTRALIA AND NEW ZEALAND!! I am SUPER sorry for my followers down under because not only do you have to put up with terrifying wild life, you can’t even allow tea to be imported to help comfort you. Sorry, there’s like, crazy laws and stuff.
- You do not have to be following me to win, but it might be helpful to keep track of updates or changes (if any). Plus I plan to make some blends for other fandoms in the future, so if tea is your thing, it might not be a bad idea?
- Only two reblogs a day allowed.I did not realize how often people would reblog my last big give away soooo I’m going to enforce this LOL. You can reblog on as many days as you’d like, but yeah, only 2 reblogs a day please. I’ll be checking.
- LIKES DON’T COUNT. Sorry! You have to reblog!
- The give away will end and I will choose the winners on FRIDAY JUNE 1ST. I’ll probably do the drawing late at night on that day, so I’m going to say I’ll stop counting reblogs at 10 p.m. EST. Winners may not be announced until the next day or so, just to be aware!
- Here’s how the winners will be selected: Just like all of my other give aways, I’ll compile a spreadsheet or numbered list of all of the reblogs, and I’ll use the number generator on random.org to chose a number and find the corresponding username on the list. The first number I draw will win the first place prize (or, if they are more into Avengers or Doctor Who, they may chose one of the other prizes). Second number I draw will win the second place prize (or a choice between whatever two packs remain), and the third number drawn will receive the last prize!
[5/20 UPDATE] Dudes you guys are on a ROLL with this! I promised that if it hit 25k notes by the end of this weekend, I’d add another prize pack and, well, it happened. So now instead of three winners, FOUR people will win a prize. Same rules apply as before. The first place winner gets first choice of the prizes, then the second place winner, then so on. So what teas am I adding? CABIN PRESSURE!
The Lemon is in Play, Ottery Kisses, and Polar Bears are BRILLIANT!
And of course this prize pack will also come with a customized tea blend of the winners choice as well <33Thanks so much everyone! You guys seriously are just the best, and odds are, I may end up adding another prize pack at 35K or something if it actually gets to that o_o
[5/21 UPDATE] DANG GUYS. ANOTHER ADDITION ALREADY!
Not another prize pack, per se, BUT, I am possibly doubling the number of final winners. Basically, when I draw names for the prizes, the people that the winners reblogged the contest from will ALSO win the prize that the person drawn chooses. If the winner reblogged from me or themselves, they’ll still only get one prize. And I’m not going to win a prize in my own contest so….
Anyway, I guess this is a good reason to encourage your followers to reblog the contest from your blogs or something 8D;
[5/24] YOU GUYS ARE INSANE. SO. This has reached 35k. And I said earlier that if I created a Tony Stark blend, I’d add it to the Avengers Prize Pack. Well, I made Tony Stark, so he’s adding. But then I also made Bruce Banner, Clint Barton, and Natasha Romanoff as well. So I’m also going to add THOSE to the Avengers prize pack as well.
And hell, since I’m somehow about to hit 15k followers too (what are you guys even thinking, honestly), here’s another new prize pack so the number of potential winners is increasing:
Both of the Good Omens Teas! Aziraphale and Crowley! <3
Uh…. if this hits 50k I’ll think of something good.
