Prompt: Red bus in Christmas crowd.
Notes: Genderswapped Johnlock. From my AU where Sherlock is a vampire and John is human.
Summary: John is dreaming.
Catch a falling star, thought John. Crowds of shoppers and revelers filled the streets, but she was above it all, literally, on the top of a double-decker red bus.
Overhead, there were stars.
Not in the firmament. At least, the lights of London would hardly permit their visibility.
And John was in London, wasn’t she? Yes, of course. The bus.
No, there were stars dangling from wires extended from one side of the street to the other.
And, John, for some reason, had to catch one.
She tried. She reached. She fell.
She was caught.
“Hello, little thief,” rumbled Sherlock.

Prompt: Red bus in Christmas crowd.
Summary: While Christmas shopping in London, Miss Marple and friend Dolly Bantry witness an accident.
“Oh, Jane, watch out.”
Miss Marple’s friend ushered her into a threshold.
“What’s going on, Dolly?”
“There’s been an accident.”
“I’m not surprised. The crowds are dreadful. Everyone getting a head start on their Christmas shopping.”
“Or their Christmas drinking. I’m curious. I’ll go see. You stay here.”
When Dolly returned, she reported, “Some poor girl fell off the top of one of those buses!”
“Dead?”
“No. At least, she was alive enough to shout that ‘she had to catch a falling star.’”
They looked the star-shaped lights hanging overhead.
“Drugs,” pronounced Dolly.
“Perhaps,” admitted Miss Marple. “Back to Bertram’s?”
