My Kingdom for a Scone (Fic: Sherlock, S/J Friendship, Oneshot)

[haveloved]

When you live with the St. Bart’s chemistry lab’s equivalent of a mad scientist, it’s nigh-guaranteed that you will walk in, one day, on what the denizens of said lab have officially designated “scary shit.” John Watson had been prepped for this by many people-Stamford, to begin with, and then a few others who’d cornered him after the word had

For your first foray into humor, I thought this was pretty good! Especially the twist at the end, having the scones be pre-made. I enjoy the thought of Mycroft and John teaming up against Sherlock occasionally, if only to frustrate him.

Great job!

Thank you! My first Sherlock fic (actual S/J slash) was fairly humorous as well, but these are about the only two of mine that are, so I'm never sure if they work! :) Heh, I couldn't resist the thought of the two of them torturing him for a bit. After all, John's the one getting free scones out of the deal!

Mmmm... scones. John is very lucky if they turn out well! Can you tell I'm hungry?

John and Mycroft should team up more often. :-)

This made me giggle.

This made me smile. I love the ending (what with the scones being pre-made and John's plan to amuse the Yard); also the fact that it is their arguing over a scones recipe that upsets Mummy... hehehe.

Just want to point out that it's 'Stamford' not 'Stanford'. Possible slip of the finger?

[haveloved]

Ahh, thanks for that. I should have fact-checked myself; I figured I probably had it wrong! It will be fixed.

Heh, I kind of wanted the feud between the two of them to have the silliest origin possible. Mummy just wants peace and goodwill towards all recipes.

HA!!!

I think so many of us are guilty of the 'home made' instant dessert. I can just imagine Sherlock's fury when he works out just what Mycroft's secret is

Oh tricky tricky Mycroft.
