Title: A Waste of Hard Drive Space
Characters: Sherlock, John, Maddie (kid!OC)
Rating: PG
Warnings: Involves a child abduction
Spoilers: Heavy references to a line in Scandal, no plot spoilers
Pairings: None
Word count: Approx. 2700
Summary: While Sherlock tries to keep a little girl suffering from hypothermia awake, he discovers some of the happier memories of his childhood aren't as deleted as he thought they were.
Author's notes: This is sort of an experiment in trying out Sherlock's interior monologue and playing around with his backstory. I also wanted to do something with his pirate obsession and write some kid!fic. So I've thrown them all together. Sherlock's POV to start, switches to John's later. Liberties taken with Sherlock's childhood. A bit fluffy.
