earlgreytea68: (Sherlock Christmas)

For K2togYO

It’s a different sort of holiday altogether, to be in Sussex.

When Oliver was younger, they stayed in London for Christmas. Now that Oliver is off at school, London feels haunted by Oliver’s absence. The oddity of having him home for Christmas, but it only being a visit makes John say, “I think we should do Christmas in Sussex.”

This is also possibly why Sherlock so enthusiastically agrees.

So it’s a different sort of holiday, although the main particular is that Oliver is there. And he’s happy to be there, although he does say, “Looking forward to London at midterm.”

Parents like a change; children like things always the same - you've captured that really well.

London feels haunted by Oliver’s absence is a very evocative line. The whole drabble is a bit sad and bittersweet but I'm sure there are plenty of experiments to do with one's Daddy in the countryside!
