*grins* That one's got a touch of magic/magic realism in it, so when Sherlock says 'Dark' things, he means it. And it's definitely meant to be creepy, so I'm glad that comes across.
Sherlock knew the exact moment when John arrived at the crime scene: one moment he was irritably brushing aside the shadows that were licking up the bloody smears on the floor and the next he found himself abruptly alone as every wisp of Darkness bee-lined for the door in a wave of chittering glee.
Because Dark things might have congregated around death, but that didn't hold a candle to the way they congregated around John Watson.
