[Elementary] that dear octopus (Joan gen)
Title: that dear octopus
Fandom: Elementary
Length: 218
Prompt: three sentence ficathon: Elementary, Joan & Sherlock & Ms. Hudson &/or Clyde , an all-of-a-kind family
Pairing: Joan gen
Other: Spoilers for 1x19 Snow Angels.
Excerpt: And Joan has a perfectly strange family as well: a ridiculous detective and an astonishing housekeeper and a quiet turtle that sometimes moonlights as an ambulance or other useful stand-in object as Sherlock so desires.
Joan has a perfectly normal family: two parents who love each other most of the time, a brother; a place to come home to if she needs it, the same house that she grew up in.
And Joan has a perfectly strange one as well: a ridiculous detective and an astonishing housekeeper and a quiet turtle that sometimes moonlights as an ambulance or other useful stand-in object as Sherlock so desires - and there's Bell and Alfredo and Gregson and all the phone numbers she's been accumulating lately, victims and mourners and plow truck ladies ("Save them all," Sherlock says, with one of his theatrical gestures, "you never know when it can come in handy on a case!"; and she's seen his stuffed contact list, she doesn't doubt it).
She's never built her own family the way her parents expected - no husband, children, or dog - and she's never really wanted something like that to be honest; so it surprises her when she realizes how much she likes the one she has now ("Detectives find strange bedfellows," Sherlock says, brow arched and a smile tugging at the edge of his mouth, and he almost seems disappointed when she doesn't protest, even if it means that she's learning; she just rolls her eyes and continues picking the lock).
