Advent Calender: Day 23

[anarion]

This is day 23 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 23

Sherlock was sitting on the couch, deep in thoughts. John came into the room from the kitchen, having finally cleaned away the remaining dishes from the Christmas dinner, and walked over to the window.

He stood there for watching the Christmas decorations when he suddenly felt a warm presence at his back.

Sherlock embraced him and John leaned back, resting some of his weight against his lover.

“You usually look out of the window when you are upset. Did I do something wrong?”

“Hm? No. You seemed lost in thoughts and I didn’t want to disturb you. That’s all. What was on your mind?”

Sherlock was silent for a while. He buried his nose in John’s hair and breathed deeply, something he did when he needed comfort. John knew better than to push him in situations like these.

“What if you won’t like my Christmas present? What if it’s something that is a terribly rude thing to give to someone on Christmas?”

“Since you usually know what I want before I do, I wouldn’t worry to much. And in the unlikely case that I won’t like it, you’ll just have to make it up to me.”

“Hm. What do you have in mind?”

“Well, let's just say it includes you on your knees and me admiring the stretch of that cupid's bow.”

AN: This is my last entry for the calender. Thank you all for reading and commenting! I loved every single one of your comments, even if I did not have the time to answer all of them! <3

Merry Christmas to all of you who celebrate it. And a relaxed weekend for everybody who doesn't.

B-word and second half of the last sentence courtesy of verity_burns (who else?). But since days_of_storm wanted a cuddle fic, you'll have to imagine the porn. Sorry. Or not. ;)

aww, I liked the cuddle.

I can really relate to gift anxiety. Poor Sherlock!

Love how you were able to come up with b words for over three weeks.

thank you for all the fun!

Ooh, that's a really good reason to hate your Christmas present!

Well done to you and Days for getting all these done! Have a great holiday - and see you soooooon! *bounces excitedly*

Now I somehow want Sherlock to fail... ;)

[manny-sg.livejournal.com]

Awww, I can't get enough of those two hugging, totally my new drug!! the whole thing is just so sweet, minus the last line which was... you know ;)
You guys did a great job on all of them! <3

Lovely! And I'm doing a grand job of imagining the porn, no worries on that front, thank you :D

[sabrinaphynn.livejournal.com]

Seconded there- that last sentance sends us all on a high speed jet to the mythical Isle of Porn. :)

I am sad it's so close to ending! But it has been wonderful, and all your parts have been brilliant. Thanks for being a part of this!
We all appreciate it! Yees, I am speaking for all of us. I think I dare do that, I thought, and so I did.

Win-win situation! If he gets a good gift - yay! If he gets a bad one? YAY!

Windows are the focus of today's dual sponsors of this 221B.
To keep things warm and snug at the flat since that nasty Jimmy blew out the old ones (which were rather drafy anyway)

and to keep them nice and clean so that Sherlock can observe and John can thoughfully look out and sigh...

I was about to say that it was utterly adorable then I read the last sentence. So I'll say it's adorable AND hot. Good mixture ! I really wonder what is Sherlock's present ; and I really wonder if John hopes that he'll like it or that he won't. And look, Livia has already drawn an illustration to help us to imagine the porn :

This Advent calendar was terrific, thank you (and days_of_storm) for doing it ; my favourite part is the very sweet Day 9, but I enjoyed every 221B. I wish you a very fröhliche Weihnachten ! :-)

Oh, by the way...
*assumes a look of supreme nonchalance*
Do you know, Anarion, that, for the Orthodoxes, Christmas takes place on January 7th ? So, this way, an Advent calendar...
*looks at Anarion intensely and meaningfully*
*coughs*
Oh well, it was worth a try... :D

Tomorrow is going to see that last one. :p because there's a lot going on (like, Christmas, families, lots of food...) and we might want to venture out to maybe write other things eventually ;)

Aaaww, CUDDLES!!!!

It was lovely, and I'm glad the cupid's bow got its own 'B ending'. Sherlock's insecurity is quite adorable, and I wonder what he got John that could be considered terribly rude.

Thank you for writing this, thank you for brightening my December :-)

It's been so fun to open one of these each day. My own Advent calendar! Thanks and Merry Christmas!

Is it very wrong that I hope John hates his gift? Hates it with a hot and burning, coming and moaning passion?

*Cough*

Ahem. Reading on...
