BBC Sherlock Fan Forum - Serving Sherlockians since February 2012 / What sort of Valentine's Day Card would you send Sherlock?

OK, St Valentine's Day (Feb 14th) is fast approaching. At least here in the UK. Apologies if it is a different date in your country.

Anyhoo...we all know that Sherlock would HATE receiving a Valentine's Card, but if you did send him one, what would the cover be like, would there be a little verse inside, and what would be your message for him (if anything).

I will answer my own question as soon as I can think of an answer! *blush*

Hmm...

The front would be a picture of a real human heart.

As for the verse inside.. well that's a tough one.

"Arteries are Blue,
Veins are Red...

I have a riddle,
for you to solve,
don't be idle,
my love"

Bah, probably not... I think I would just make up some interesting case for him instead

Molly's card: Are you busy?
Janine's card: Can I have my toothbrush back? (the one that I left at your flat)
Donovan's card: Can you please stop using our wifi whenever you're at the station?
John's card: Mary's just had our daughter and no we are not going to call her Sherlock. But Happy Valentine's Day.

Okay, that's not really what you asked but I have a hyperactive imagination so, yeah above are the lines that I imagine what some of the other characters might say on their cards.

Interestingly, the latest challenge in the land_deduction landcomm on LiveJournal was to create/write a Valentine's card as Sherlock to a character you were randomly assigned. I got Jim Moriarty, and I decided to make a card with an apple that has a "RIP" carved into it, with a "Have a nice afterlife" at the bottom.

I would just send him a large jar of eye balls with a purple ribbon around it and a note that said "you are suprisingly ok."

Ha ha - good one!
Your note could even say 'I only have eyes for youuuuu!'

Awww, that is sweet! I bet such a present would really make him speechless for a second or two..
