Advent Calendar: Day 13

[anarion]

This is day 13 of the Advent calendar filled with 221Bs, brought to you by days_of_storm and me. We will post in rotation, so you get a 221B by me one day and one from her the next day, right up until Christmas.
Apart from the overall Christmasy theme we decided to refer to the previous 221B so that there will be a story in the end. Let's see how that works out.

A happy pre-Christmas season to all of you! :)



Day 12 by the fabulous days_of_storm here




Day 13


“Do you remember the first time you saw him?”

“Of course I do. All I could see was a confused, damaged, limping and short blonde man. Who would have thought...”

“Yeah, who. Well, MH certainly did. But he wouldn't be where he is now if he didn't see things.”

“Did you know that he tried to ask me out that night?”

“The boss? No way. Well, he always had a soft spot for you.”

“No, not the boss. John Watson. And no, he doesn't.”

“Of course he does. Why do you think you are called No. 1? Or were, until you met John Watson. Who asked you out. Really?”

“Stop giggling. There are worse men who can ask you out.”

“And better, right No. 1?”

“My name is Anthea.”

“Hey, ladies, could you stop that? We’re not in a tea parlour here. And there is work to do.”

Anthea closed her eyes. She really did not like the woman sitting at the far end of the room. Always trying to impress the boss and to cosy up to her superiors.

But she was right. There was a lot of work to do, especially after that SH kidnapping fiasco.

Without the boss secretly tracking his brother’s phone they would’ve never found him in time, bleeding and freezing in that cellar in Brentford.

AN: Can you all please take a moment to praise my little brother for saving my computer? Thank you. I'm also feeling much better myself, thank you for all the lovely 'get better' comments! <3

Quick question: Is it calender or calendar? Or can I use both?

Heh! Oh John, you've got more admirers than Sherlock sometimes it seems...

And I don't know about the UK spelling, but here it's 'calendar'.

Also, little brother ftw! And you're welcome <3

There are worse men who can ask you out.
Oh yes. There are.

Interesting glimpse of what happens backstage. I pay tribute to your brother, and I'm glad to hear you're better at last. I hope that Sherlock will be quite recovered very soon too, in order to, er, deal with the case again. *coughs*

And about the "calendar" problem, here's the answer ! :-)

Dear little brother: we love you!!!

And she is called number 1 because she is the best! Like the totally different POV.

And I'm happy that you are feeling better. What did you do? Send the viruses over here? I'm sick! *sniffs*

Anthea :)
My love goes to you once more for incorporating more people than only sherlock and john. I like. Very much.

And DRUMS AND HUGS AND COOKIES for the little bro who came to the rescue :) (hah, she mycroft, sometimes it's the little brother who does indeed make the world go round!)

And last but not least. YAY for getting better :) keep it up :)

Today's sponsor

[sabrinaphynn.livejournal.com]

Today's 221B is sponsored by Anthea's favorite perk of her job, her smartphone. She regrets to inform all that her model of phone is not available to anyone outside of the Holmes family and/or MI6. (and only she has the Tetris app that plays with the power grid)

Sends Internet cookies to little brother and tea to Anarion for her continued good health.

This was a great perspective. I like #1 and referring to the boss as MH.

Ooh, interesting! So we go from having no sex, to no snogging, to no John or Sherlock at all... I'm looking forward to the reverse progression :)

[mirith.livejournal.com]

Yes! THIS. ^

Boys and sex and snogging, oh my.

Good job, little brother, for fixing the computer. (Is it all right if I think of him as Sherlock and you as Mycroft?)

[manny-sg.livejournal.com]

Me like this very much!
Humm sometimes I wonder if MH can do what he does without Anthea by his side doing all the leg work!!

"Cheers for little bro" =D

Oh, I love Anthea. I love that you keep bringing in other people. That and the daily snippets truly makes it feel alive and real. It's not just a boxed up fic, it's like reading all of their lives day by day.

Again, I have to say, I hardly want this to end!

And YAY for brothers! They are the best! I am so glad both you and your computer are doing better. Phew!
