________________________________________________


Cork high and bottle deep


‘Oh fuck, I’ve been knocked out.’ Greg tried to open his eyes and failed. His head was throbbing and something cold was dripping on his forehead.

‘Kidnapped? Chinese water torture? What the hell is going on?’ He moved his hands. Not bound. That was a start.

He tried to open his eyes again but was greeted by such a harsh light that he closed them again before seeing anything. He decided to try and turn his head and realised that he had turned his whole body instead when he rolled off from whatever he was lying on and hit the ground.

He groaned but found that he could open his eyes now. He had landed between a couch and a coffee table. He knew that coffee table! He had seen Sherlock walk over it far too many times. Probably not kidnapped then. Torture still seemed likely.

“Good morning, Inspector.” Sherlock was standing over him, a glass of water in his hand, one eyebrow raised.

It took him what felt like an hour to sit up and take the glass with the Alka Seltzer Sherlock handed him.

“What...” He had to clear his throat. “What happened?”

“That I can't tell you. But I can tell you that John is in a similar condition and that there is nothing left in the bottle.”



Next 221b: Think not, is my eleventh commandment; and sleep when you can, is my twelfth

Cork high and bottle deep
I didn't know this expression and I first read Cock high and bottle deep. Then I raised an eyebrow, because it seemed painful.

He had seen Sherlock walk over it far too many times.
Nonsense. You CAN'T see Sherlock walk over this coffee table too many times. It's never enough. Especially if he wears this... Well.

Torture still seemed likely.
*giggles*

But I can tell you that John is in a similar condition and that there is nothing left in the bottle
I just hope Greg is fully dressed. *is a tiny bit alarmed*

Pst! There's something wrong with the "Previous 221b" thing before the fic. :-)

Cock high and bottle deep.
Yeah, didn't I write a 221B where Greg's son tries to copulate with a bottle?

I just hope Greg is fully dressed. *is a tiny bit alarmed*
What? What?

Oh, you mean this bottle kink is hereditary?

What? What?
Don't panic! I just mean that if Greg is naked and if John is in a similar condition and there is nothing left in the bottle, well...
*checks there in no "John/Greg" tag*
*establishes there is none*
*is relieved*

That must have been a very good night. I can picture that raised eyebrow perfectly!

[treelight.livejournal.com]

Haha! :))) Serves those right who drink too much!

I trust we will learn why they killed the whiskey and why Sherlock apparently wasn't present when they did.

I'd also like to know, if Sherlock would be comforting or annoying to John in his current condition ;)

[ledasdaughter.livejournal.com]

I laughed all the way through this!

[anarion.livejournal.com]

Glad I could make you laugh! *hugs*

"I'd also like to know, if Sherlock would be comforting or annoying to John in his current condition"

Oh I'm with Treelight on this one! And all the rest. You've raised too many delectable questions with this one!

Lucky for you, you are the one able to demand answers. ;)

There is nothing like the superior feeling of seeing someone else hung over! Sherlock must be unbearably smug!

[verityburns.livejournal.com]

That is GENIUS! I read it... and then I read it again. Bloody brilliant!

I rarely get hangovers, but I find myself in a similar situation regarding the lamentable state of the bottle :(

This is bloody clever, sweetheart - we may have to schedule an extra hug for next week, I'm just warning you!

Oh, the hardship! :P

Glad you enjoyed reading! :)

Wait, what? *Wibbles* reads tags, *sighs in relief* continues reading.

He knew that coffee table!

Laughing so hard, Greg's sense of relief at recognizing the coffee table and sense of doom 'cause he still might be in trouble. your writing = sheer brilliance.

“Good morning, inspector.” Sherlock was standing over him, a glass of water in his hand, one eyebrow raised.
Yup, still in so much trouble. :)

“That I can't tell you. But I can tell you that John is in a similar condition and that there is nothing left in the bottle.”
Add me to the chorus with Treelight and Atlin. Why were John and Greg drinking?

I am madly in love with your 221B's,(I don't think I say that enough.) but it's such a joy when you write funny ones. Comedy thy name is Anarion, just divine. ;D

Came back from London late last night and just read all your comments in one go. Thank you so much, I do love your reviews! *hugs*

We will get to that. :D
