Advent Calendar - December 23rd

[anarion]

It's that time of the year again, so here's the annual Advent Calendar filled with little ficlets, brought to you by days_of_storm and me. We will post in rotation, so you get a posting by me one day and one from her the next day, right up until Christmas.

Title: December 23rd
Pairing: John/Sherlock
Rating: PG-13
Warning: none

JW // Sherlock, where are you?

SH // Barts.

JW // That's great. Mrs Hudson and I are sitting here and ALL of the Christmas party guests are missing.

SH // Solved the case.

JW // Finally!

SH // Don't you want to know how he did it?

JW // First I want to know when you will all be here, so that I can calm Mrs Hudson down.

SH // 55 minutes.

JW // Thank you. Now. How did he do it?

SH // He used sulphuric acid. Sprayed it on the painting with some kind of home-made applicator. He also made modifications to the acid solution himself, so that it took the droplets a few minutes to burn downwards through the canvas.

JW // Because that way he was long gone when the painting was destroyed. Clever.

SH // And you always say I shouldn't admire the culprit.

JW // That's true. Especially since he destroyed several priceless paintings.

SH // No, he didn't.

JW // What do you mean he didn't?

SH // They were fake.

JW // Excuse me?

SH // The paintings. Were fake. All of them.

JW // So he knew?

SH // Clearly.

JW // But what was the point?
JW // To get attention? Be some kind of hero?

SH // We will know tomorrow. Police is off to arrest him.

JW // Please tell me that Greg didn't go with them! He needs to come to the party with you.

SH // He's still here. Arresting people is below his salary class.

JW // Bring Molly too!

SH // She can drive with Lestrade.

JW // See you soon!

Yay! Good to have the case resolved! And, 'Arresting people is below his salary class.' made me giggle... thank you for that!

Have a lovely Christmas, honey... I have high hopes for your new year ;)

The new format was a very good idea, yes! And the case is solved, and the "Sherlock/Anderson" tag never appeared (phew!), and there will be a Christmas party at 221B... All is well that ends well! Thank you for this Advent calendar, meritricious and happy New Year to you too! :-)
