________________________________________________

Disastrous working conditions


This case was a tricky one.

Lestrade sighed and got up from his desk to get his fifth coffee that night. He grabbed his mug and in the process knocked down a stack of folders that went crashing to the floor.

He cursed and pressed his fingers to the bridge of his nose. He needed sleep, but going home meant coming into an empty flat that was nothing more than proof for his failed marriage.

He turned around and almost ran into Donovan.

“Sergeant?”

“We have a new one. Body, that is. I hate to say it, but we need them.”

“Yes, we do. I’ll call Sherlock.”

40 minutes later they were all at the crime scene, Sherlock standing close to Lestrade, rattling of deductions. John was a few steps away, watching them.

Suddenly he made a strange little sound, like he just had an epiphany. Both men looked up and at him, hoping for a case-related idea.

Instead of speaking John just walked over, grabbed Sherlock by his coat collar and pulled him into a kiss. When he let go again, even Sherlock looked a little shocked.

John shook his head. “As if you didn’t know.”

They looked at each other for another moment, Sherlock opened his mouth and then... then Anderson lost his balance and fell on the body.




Next 221b: Celebrate when you have the chance


------------------
AN:
Today's prompt was 'silver'.

The first thing I thought of was 'silver fox', so this was obviously going to be about Lestrade. And then I remembered chocolamousse asking for more stories about their first kiss. There you go! :D

He, he, he... then Anderson lost his balance and fell on the body That really does it for disastrous working conditions.

By the way... Since you seem to take an interest in your readers attempts to point out missing 221B's and missing sequels for given 221B's, I thought you might like a bit of motivation, so here goes: 221B'unnyverse (http://www.tumblr.com/tagged/221b%27equel) (well, what good does a bribe, if the receiver hasn't seen it....)

OMG, that is adorable. I feel the need to kiss you! *smooches*
Thank you so much! *dances around the room*

[teejod.livejournal.com]

*blushes* Thank you! And... Well, since you seem to like it... There is this missing sequel to a certain castle/castle ruins prompt some time back...

Poor Greg. So, Anarion, how do you feel about Mystrade? :D (It's not for me, it's for them!)

Both men looked up and at him
Looked up AND at him? It must be a rare occurence for John. :D

They looked at each other for another moment, Sherlock opened his mouth and then... then Anderson lost his balance and fell on the body.
Wait. You mean... It's the famous first kiss? Yay! And this is what you call Disastrous working conditions? Well, I wouldn't complain if I saw Sherlock and John kissing at my workplace!

The punch line is very funny. The French word for "punch line" is "chute" which means "fall" too. :D But I wonder what Sherlock was about to say, maybe you should, er... *looks at you meaningfully*

*reads the AN*
Oh, thank you thank you thank you! So, does it mean that all my requests will be fullfilled? :D

Pst! The "Today's prompt" thing before the fic reads "sunburn". :-)

Yes, it's the famous first kiss! You wanted to read more about it, right? :D
But don't lose your head now! ;)

[verityburns.livejournal.com]

Aww! I can see this happening so clearly in my mind - thank you very much!

[tracionn.livejournal.com]

AAAWWW, John just can't resist when Sherlock deduces away with that voice of his and that brilliant brain and I bet Sherlock just loved the results - both the kiss itself AND Anderson's fall - as well.

And Lestrade had something to distract him! Win for everyone. Well, except Anderson. Sooooo sorry ;)

Another fave!

Oh the brilliance! Especially Anderson compromising his own forensics. And I think that kiss has to go in the head cannon folder too.

[anarion.livejournal.com]

Oh, oh! *jumps up and down*
My kiss went into the head canon folder! *beams*

THANK YOU!

Perfect working conditions, that's what this is! Love, love, love first kisses, first times, first realizations.

Sighed a bit for Lestrade"...but going home meant coming into an empty flat that was nothing more than proof of his failed marriage."(not teary,{nope}it's allergies *sniffle*)

John would act on that epiphany(Doctor and soldier. Uses *best*
course of action in situation. mmm hmm )

"...then Anderson lost his balance and fell on the body."
Yay, found cure for allergies.(snerk.)

Clouds and rainbows this was delightful.

Sticking my two cents in for castle/castle ruins (still. missing.part.)begging.

Yay, found cure for allergies.(snerk.)
