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 15
The next morning Lestrade called with a cautious enquiry on Sherlock’s health. Which Sherlock interpreted in the right way and asked where the body was.
John tried to object.
“Sherlock, you can’t go. You were just rescued from a kidnapping (no, he didn’t say ‘Sherlnapping’, he was a little angry after all). And you had a concussion.”
“John. I’m fine. Didn’t I prove that to you thoroughly?”
The way Sherlock conveyed sexual innuendo in the arch of his eyebrow should be illegal.
~*~
When they arrived at the crime scene, Lestrade and his team were waiting outside and there was a little commotion in the group when Sherlock exited the cab.
As John got closer, he saw a small ginger woman, who was remarkably pale, even for a redhead. Her eyes were very wide and she stared at Sherlock in something close to panic.
“What’s going on?”
“It’s Sergeant McGregor's first body. And she is slightly afraid to screw up in front of Sherlock, who seems to be her idol. Much to Sally’s dismay, I might add.”
Lestrade grinned at them.
Sherlock, apparently in one of his kinder moods, walked over to her and said, “You’ll do fine.”
Then he strode towards the door, Lestrade on his heels, yelling to his team.
“Ok, courting’s over, let’s get down to business.’

AN: This is at the same time part of my homework that is still left over from October, when
atlinmerrick, arianedevere, mirith and I met in London. We came up with three things everybody had to put into fic somehow. The last sentence is the second part of the homework, the third one will follow in another 221B shortly.
Check out the others' journals and see if you can find their answers to the prompts! :)

“John. I’m fine. Didn’t I prove that to you thoroughly?”
Ah. I'm sorry but I have to object. Sherlock and John spend a crazy night of unbridled passion, and it happens between two 221Bs ? This calendar is getting ridiculously chaste. This is shocking. I protest. :D

I'm assuming that this is a typo? Surely you mean 'obligatory', rather than 'illegal'? I will bring you a copy of my 'special' dictionary when we meet up next month :)
Well done for getting the 'courting' line in!

(this is the best challenge ever, trying to find some tenuous connection to these, you two do not make it easy on your advertising department!)

Date: 2011-12-15 05:12 pm (UTC)Which is to say: Damn you! Keep showing us up marvelously. You do know Mirith used the phrase too, yes? Well fine, I've already got Advent stuff written up until 19 or 20, but I'll try and do something for 21 with the line.
Again, bravo you.

Date: 2011-12-15 05:27 pm (UTC)What a lovely moment for Sgt. McGregor. I feel so happy for her small, pale, ginger self. Sherlock can be nice, can't he? (I always thought that the gentle way in which he tries to let John down easy in Angelo's speaks to hidden reserves of niceness.)
But my favorite line is this:
"The way Sherlock conveyed sexual innuendo in the arch of his eyebrow should be illegal."
The way he conveys sexual innuendo with his whole *body* should be illegal. Or mandatory. Yes.
Seriously, he walks on screen and I'm like, "How dare you say that to me, you cad, you rogue, you rake? And me a married woman. The very insinuation ... Oh, you didn't actually speak, did you? It's just ... those legs ... that neck ... Um. How awkward."

Oh.
*Looks at her latest fic in embarrassment*
Bugger.
But d'you know what? I am so stupid that I never even realised that both the Courting line and the one about the Doctor on the Brain ended with a 'b' word and therefore could be slid sweetly into a 221B. *Slaps self*
Anyway, this is lovely!
