Why do it the easy way when there's an experiment you could do?
“Sherlock, have you seen my... What the hell are you doing?”
“What do you mean what am I doing?”
“What do I mean? You are wearing a skirt! What the hell do you think I mean?”
“It’s an experi...”
“...ment. Of course it is. Listen, is it just me or are your experiments getting more ridiculous by the minute?”
Sherlock did not grace this question with an answer, instead he strode through the room like a model on the catwalk. John flopped down on the sofa and watched his lover with an amused smirk on his lips.
“All right. Tell me. What is this experiment about?”
“I’m trying to evaluate if you are aroused by men in skirts.”
“You know, you could always just ask me.”
“You might lie.”
“Why would I lie? As you have clearly deduced by now, men in skirts do nothing for me. Certain types of men in a kilt though...”
There was a dangerous blink in Sherlock’s gaze. John raised one hand in a pacifying gesture.
“...do even less.” He grinned. “Now come here, let’s get you out of this ridiculous outfit. Because a certain tall detective does a lot for me. And maybe he could... do me?”
“This experiment turned out very differently from what I anticipated.”
“And that’s... not good?”
“No. Rather... not bad.”

Listen, is it just me or are your experiments getting more ridiculous by the minute?
John reads a lot of fanfiction, doesn't he?
As you have clearly deduced by now, men in skirts do nothing for me.
Good. That's good. And there's sex all the same. That's very good. :D

She also pets long-suffering Chocolamousse who bravely struggles through so much heel/lingerie/skirt fic in the name of being nice to Atlin Merrick. Yes. Yes indeed. She does it out of the kindness of her big, big French heart.
