Summary
He leaned forward, picking up the salt-shaker. He glanced around; there was a young couple smiling at each other at the nearest table, but no one else was around. “Watch this.” He ground a bit of salt onto the candle. The flame flickered, then turned blue-tinged at the edges. I sucked in a breath, watching the green-blue glow.
“Oh, that’s gorgeous.”
I looked up, smiling, and met his eyes over the little flame.
“Science,” he said quietly.

“Y/n.”
“Hmm?”
“Y/n.”
“What. I’m right here,” you said, voice muffled by your vast woolly jumper.
There was a thump. You pulled your head clear and glanced down to see Sherlock sprawled on the floor, pouting up at you.Series

Summary
‘The girl next door’. A classic stereotype - you picture jeans and jumpers, not glamorous but pretty; good-natured, best-friend-and-confidante kind of person. Comfortable, perhaps good at baking. A friends-to-lovers trope - that’s the kind of thing Sherlock Holmes would think of, if he ever thought about a ‘girl-next-door’ at all.
But you don’t think of late night dramas and poundingly loud music and umbrella sword-fights in the hall. You don’t think of that same girl saving your life and whipping out an ornate knife, more like a dagger than anything else, and threatening, with a steady voice and a steadier hand, to kill the man who is pinned beneath her unyielding body.
You definitely don’t think of that with the ‘girl-next-door’ trope.
