Sherlock on the catwalk? Sherlock on the catwalk with heels? Atlin, get out of this body! :D

The woman gestured in the air around Sherlock's body and John was pretty sure she was about to start drooling.
He can't blame her. It would be hypocritical.

Now she looked like she was about to have a heart attack. Or an orgasm. Hard to tell, John thought, but he assumed it was the latter.
*giggles* Well, he's a doctor. He should know.

He turned to go but shot a look at the woman that clearly said, 'If you dress him inappropriately, I will break you wrist'. Just in case.
Yay for BAMF!John AND possessive!John!

Although John was pretty sure this was the first time in history a suspect got taken down by the husband of a modelling consulting detective while his trousers were sporting an unmistakeable bulge.
What I like in this sentence is that you can understand it as if it's the suspect who sports the unmistakeable bulge rather than John. Everybody lusts after Sherlock. :D ( ... )

This, exactly!

Aha! I see you are appeasing the mighty Atlin after yesterday's... unanticipated interpretation of her prompt :D

Love the echoing of the first line, that was really well done - your writing just gets more confident all the time, it's wonderful!

I really love that one often discovers just at the end of your stories at what point in their relationship it is happening. It makes re-reading them even better, because first there are the big surprises and later there is the insight.
