Advent Calender 2012 - Day 4

[anarion]

This is day 4 of the Advent calendar filled with little ficlets, brought to you by days_of_storm and me. We will post in rotation, so you get a story by me one day and one from her the next day, right up until Christmas.
Apart from the overall Christmasy theme we decided to take over from where the other left off in her chapter so that there will be one story in the end. Let's see how that works out.

A happy pre-Christmas season to all of you! :)



Day 3 by the fabulous days_of_storm here




Day 4



Sherlock picked up the phone and thought ‘Damn you, brother!’

The relationship of the two brothers was – if possible – even more complicated now than it had been before.

John would never learn to what extend Mycroft had helped Sherlock in his three year long absence, but Mycroft knew and Sherlock knew. That was enough.

Not that Mycroft would ever voice the fact that he had a strong hold on his younger brother now, but that didn’t discourage him from exploiting it whenever he could.

Sherlock was torn between hate, because he now owed Mycroft, and gratefulness, because Mycroft had not only supported and helped him with his mission, he had also supported and protected John.

“Please tell John to stop exciting you in a sexual manner. I can hear you pant. I need you to focus on what I say. This concerns national security.”

Sherlock forced his concentration from the very exciting prospect of John opening his belt back to the phone call.

“Since when do you trust me with that?”

“Do we have to do this now? I can send my men to fetch you, but it would be so much easier if you came on your own. We all have better things to do, don’t we?”

Sherlock heard the sneer in Mycroft’s voice and hung up without saying good bye.

John clearly had felt the change in his mood because he was already closing his belt again. Sherlock sighed inwardly.

“What did he say?”

“He wants me in his office now. Will you come with me?”

“Always.”

As they were walking down the stairs, John grinned at him. “You know, I had slightly different plans for this afternoon.”

Sherlock raised a suggestive eyebrow. “Why don’t you tell me about your plans in the cab?”



Day 5

AN: I'm sorry that I ruined the porn. *hides*

Comments

Ahem. Please re-phrase that author's note!

[sabrinaphynn.livejournal.com]

You did not "ruin the porn". What you did was - you "delayed" it, thereby heightening the tension for said sexy times. It is a time-tested writing tactic!
Also,
I am certain you are not half as sorry as Sherlock and John are at the moment!
(shhh... I am being optimistic. It is a passing phase, no doubt.)

[treksnoopy.livejournal.com]

I don't think you're sorry at all! *pouts*

Love this anyway!

[tamzette.livejournal.com]

Hehehe, I'm delaying going to deal with my tomato soup and roasted garlic in order to comment... hope they're not spoiled ;-)

This was adorable... and like Sabrina said, you didn't "ruin the porn", you just delayed it :-D

[verityburns.livejournal.com]

Oh, I burst out laughing at:

"Please tell John to stop exciting you in a sexual manner. I can hear you pant."

although I must admit that I initially read the latter sentence as 'I can hear your pants', which seemed a little startling!

As for ruining the porn... well, I'm focusing on:

'it would be so much easier if you came on your own'
and
'Will you come with me?'

There's plenty of porn in my head, rest assured :D

(I'm blocking out: "He wants me in his office now", because that sort of thing is really not my cup of tea!)

Hahaha! *falls off chair laughing*

'it would be so much easier if you came on your own'
And now I really want to use that sentence in the way you interpreted it!

[chocolamousse.livejournal.com]

Ahem.
Verity Burns, "The Things You Hide (2/2) - Adult Edition":
travelling across town in a black London cab, John had said 'amazing' and Sherlock's cock had twitched a 'thank you'.
Case made. :D

[kestrel337.livejournal.com]

Sabrinaphynn beat me to it. You've delayed the gratification...which will make it so much more *cough* gratifying. Eventually.

And honestly, I love Sherlock and Mycroft backstory. I've always figured there was more to it than just 'we hate each other'.

[atlinmerrick.livejournal.com]

I'm with you, there is definitely more to Mycroft and Sherlock than meets the eye. No two could 'hate' one another that much and keep getting into one another's hair on purpose.

[atlinmerrick.livejournal.com]

Verity says she could not her very own self stuff this much sexual innuendo in a story so you know you've done well on that count. However...

"he was already closing his belt again"

...these are the seven saddest words I read today. Excuse me, I need a moment...

[rox712.livejournal.com]

You two are going to be the death of me! I could have used some good porn on this really horrible day I'm having, but all I get is "orgasm denial". *sigh*

[verityburns.livejournal.com]

*hugs you*

*promts Atlin to write some emergency porn...*

[rox712.livejournal.com]

*hugs you back*

[chocolamousse.livejournal.com]

his three year long absence
So in this verse Sherlock was gone for THREE YEARS? Why are you so evil?

I'm sorry that I ruined the porn. *hides*
Naaah, you just took a step back for a better jump. And when I say "jump"... Also, I'd like to be the cabbie. (It's not a sentence I often use in a Sherlock context. Or in whatever context actually.)

Rule number one: never ever comment after Verity. There's no innuendo left after her visit. :D

Pst! "The relationship of the two brothers". :-)

[days-of-storm.livejournal.com]

ummm, 3 years is canon (thank God Doyle didn't decide to make it the full ten years during which he didn't write) and I'm fairly sure that Mofftiss will stick to that number, too; that's why it's that long.

[chocolamousse.livejournal.com]

It wasn't a criticism, I know three years is canon! :-) But it must have seemed sooo much longer for a John-in-love like in this verse than for a John-just-friend like in canon. In fact I hope Mofftiss will keep the proportions rather than the length of time; I mean, they knew each other for 18 months, not ten years, so Sherlock could be gone for six months only. If Mofftiss is kind and not evil like you two. :D

[days-of-storm.livejournal.com]

If Mofftiss is kind Muahahahahahahahahahahhahaha, good one ;) I'm sure we'll never surpass the evil of those two :D But you have a point concerning the length of their relationshin in the series. I wonder what they'll do (though if Freeman keeps his hair like it is now three years will be more likely than 18 months :) )

(oh, and we kinda left it open whether they were already in love or not; I tend to believe they only realised after Sherlock's return. But that's just me :) )

[chocolamousse.livejournal.com]

They'll just have to say John grew his hair as a sign of mourning. :D

I also prefer to think John realised he was in love after Sherlock's return because otherwise it would have been too horrible for him. For Sherlock it was different, he knew John was alive and he could hope and... What do you mean, "I think you tend to overthink the whole thing"? :D

"“Please tell John to stop exciting you in a sexual manner. I can hear you pant. I need you to focus on what I say. This concerns national security.”"

Mycroft's such a spoil-sport . . .!!! :D
