Advent Calender 2012 - December 10

[anarion]

This is day 10 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! :)

December 10


As they were walking back towards the exit of the gallery, John put his hand on Sherlock’s arm. It was a gentle gesture and at the same time perfectly innocent. The man was in enough trouble without John touching him inappropriately.

“Let’s walk the rest of the way. The cool air will help hide our... um, slightly dishevelled appearance and it might help you to calm down.”

Sherlock snorted.

They entered the cafeteria and John looked at the cakes. Was it worth buying some for Mycroft, hoping to annoy him enough to maybe overlook the tiny tales that would give away their last minutes’ activity? He glanced at Sherlock, who smiled but shook his head.

“He would know exactly where we bought it and therefore why we stopped here.”

“You know, sometimes I wish Lestrade was your brother. Everything would be so much more simple. Even the Christmas dinners.”

They both chuckled as they stepped outside into the cold air.

AN: Sorry, this is rather short. But I have so much work to do right now, I don't even know where to start.

Also I thought this is a good point to stop, so days_of_storm can either go visit Mycroft or jump home and get back to the porn. :D

awww lovely, I'm sorry you're stressed *look who's talking*

Hmm, I have an hour before Kristina comes home, so I think I might come up with something ;)

*hugs*

It would work with me. Cakes would not annoy me, they'd bribe me.
"Give me a cake and I won't humiliate you. I'll eat the cake instead. If it's a chocolate cake I may even look at you kindly." :D

“He would know exactly where we bought it and therefore why we stopped here.”
Could he really do that? Wow. He must have CCTV in every pâtisserie or something.

You really don't need to apologize! You know you're allowed to rest now and then, don't you? Or is Atlin really that cruel? :D

I'm sorry, can't hear you over this stollen I am devouring.

(PS the answer is no.)

[chocolamousse.livejournal.com]

Mycroft, is that you? And what is a stollen anyway.
*googles*
Oooh, yum-yum. Except if it contains marzipan. If yours is the with-marzipan version you can keep on devouring it in peace. But wait, it's German. Deduction time! Do you force Anarion to supply you in German cakes in exchange for a bit of rest? Or for prompts? Shame on you, it's such a contemptible wonderful idea actually. Do you think she would do that in exchange for comments?

You don't need CCTV for that... Mycroft obviously knows all the patisseries within a ten mile radius of his office, and would know the exact reason they stopped because he's Mycroft... he's as bad as Sherlock only with a tiny bit of propriety of one sort or another... hehe

and anarion please, this was perfect. It was not too short or too long, and it was a perfect little interlude to finish the previous thought :-)

*giggle* I love that now even JOHN is teasing Mycroft with cake! LOL

[verityburns.livejournal.com]

Oh, I like that! Lovely touch of sweetness - and John's thoughts on Mycroft are a constant joy :D

A nice filler, anyway . . .
