Advent Drabble 9 - Miraculous

[earlgreytea68]

For verdant_fire

A fastball at a certain speed with a certain trajectory to a certain hitter under certain circumstances would be unhittable. A baserunner would steal a base with a certain level of knowledge about pitcher, catcher, angle of sunlight, and level of air resistance. An outfielder would rob a homerun, given a certain path to the wall, a certain moment at which to jump, a certain extension of his arm.

All these miracles could be reduced to mathematical equations. That was what they were at heart.

Sherlock knew of only one true inexplicable miracle in the world, and that was John.

I didn't understand every word from the baseball world in the first paragraph but I perfectly understand the other paragraphs, which I'm going to express with a big AWWWW. :-)

Wonderfully romantic - and so "Sherlock", reducing everything to science!

Ahhhh thank you! This is so sweet! B&C is one of my favorite AUs, and I love how John baffles Sherlock's scientific view of the world. <3
