Previous 221b: Cling Together


Today's prompt: award

________________________________________________

Keep Cool

Though Lestrade thinks that he deserves a medal for having to deal with two lovesick adults (sometimes more lovesick teenagers judging by their behaviour), I think he should be awarded with one for keeping his cool in the most unusual situations (granted, some of them are caused by said lovesick adults).

For example the case where the body spontaneously combusted ten minutes after they arrived.

While everybody else decided to start screaming, Lestrade prevented the crime scene from getting doused with a fire extinguisher by an overzealous officer and called Sherlock.

Or when he and his wife came home one day and found their son in the living room, his cock stuck in a bottle because he had decided to try masturbating with it.

While his wife decided to faint (she actually fainted. No wonder they split up.), Lestrade just grabbed some ice and drove James (and his bottle) to the A&E without getting into the embarrassing topic of appropriate equipment.

Or when the ex-army doctor he thought had the hots for one of his female sergeants suddenly decided to kiss the world’s only consulting detective. In the middle of a bloody crime scene.

While everybody else was busy staring (Anderson actually fell on the body and contaminated the whole thing), Lestrade just said “Right.” And got back to business.

Hilarious! Can't stop smirking about the "appropriate equipment"!

[anarion.livejournal.com]

Hahaha, I amused myself with that one. Glad to hear it works for other people too! :D

Thank you!

People "deciding" to start screaming or to faint, Anderson contaminating his own crime scene...
*giggles*

I find your Lestrade, his resigned stoicism and his laconic "Right" very IC, I can really see him react this way in the series. And I'd very much like to see him react to Sherlock and John's first kiss in public in the series! I'm certain I'd be very busy staring too in the Yarder's place. And not at Lestrade. Will you tell us more about this kiss? *makes puppy eyes*

For example the case where the body spontaneously combusted ten minutes after they arrived.
Maybe this chap had just read some passages from your Blowjobs for Science series. Or from your Sunday one.
*is smug about being so subtle*

Have a nice weekend too! :-)

Will you tell us more about this kiss?
Are you kidding me? Of course I will! From every possible perspective! Possibly even Anderson's. And the corpse's.

I find your Lestrade, his resigned stoicism and his laconic "Right" very IC
Thank you!

*is smug about being so subtle*
The queen of subtlety is back! But that reminds me that I still need to work on that since I promised you a Sunday update for June! :)

Gregory Lestrade, you should not only get a medal, you should get a sound rogering by the man (or woman) of your choice.

I adore Lestrade and applaud your decision to make this about him. And also I adore you.

Have fun dancing, my espoused!

*takes a bow* *then hugs Wendy*

Thank you, my darling!

PS: Fun I had. :D

[ledasdaughter.livejournal.com]

thanks for making me laugh. I really needed that.

[anarion.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry to hear that you needed a laugh. But glad that I could provide one. :)

*hugs*

See, normaly I would talk about the kiss at the crime scene, but you had to grab me by my motherly fears of what the future could bring with my son who soon will be ten and I started to hyperventilate and I forgot what i wanted to say! Argh!

[anarion.livejournal.com]

Ok, then I will not go into details about the other stories I heard from my friend who worked at the A&E...
Though to be honest I think that it were mostly grown men who had the most stupid ideas about where to put it.

*pats gently*

Go back to thinking about the kiss. :)

This is hilarious. Truly, everything is Lestrade's division. Well done.

[anarion.livejournal.com]

Whee, glad you liked it! Thank you, sweetie! <3

I just printed "CAD" so that I can read it in bed before going to sleep. It's still one of the most amazing stories I've read in this fandom. Maybe the best. I love it! :)

[mirith.livejournal.com]

Yes, very funny story, and it captures how matter-of-fact Greg is about everything. His son is very fortunate!

Aw, thank you. The best is anything verityburns has written, even if it's a quick note saying she's out walking the dog. But I appreciate the thought!

Well, luckily I am entitled to my own opinion. :)

Verity is definitely right there with you and I love everything she did. But yours just knocks me off my feet every time I read it.

[mirith.livejournal.com]

Thanks, sweetie. I still find Show(case) and Tell breathtaking. "Painfully beautiful and insane" Sherlock! Big words! Books! Clothing kink! My God, is that a fic.

[verityburns.livejournal.com]

I'm with Rox - I love the kiss at the crime scene but my brain is kind of stuck on the bottle. Good God. I think I need to do my recycling much more frequently, just to be on the safe side.

[anarion.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry. Maybe I should've put a warning there? 'Don't read when you have boys between 12 (surely they don't start earlier than that?) and 16 (what they do then is out of your control anyway...)!'

I'm also sorry to say that recycling won't help. The story with the bottle came from a friend of mine who worked in A&E and he told me another one about a guy who, um, did it with a knot-hole. They had to cut down the tree to get him into the hospital. Any trees in your garden? ;)

BUT! Both stories happened to grown men. I think they are way more stupid then boys...

[mirith.livejournal.com]

Ohhhh, wow. I hope Mr. A&E had the good sense to check the knothole for bees first.

[rox712.livejournal.com]

Aaaaargh!!! I'm not listening! I'm not listening! Damn! I love to read all the comments on your stories, but this time it backfired on me. *tries to learn from Sherlock how to delete things*
