AU: Boxing Match 'Verse (which needs a better name)
Holmes is bristling with post-case satisfaction. Oh, yes, he located the person responsible for the crime and now he's on his way to the Yard, and there's something in that worth some pride, but for Holmes, all that matters is the mystery. And the fact that it's been resolved. The pieces fell neatly into place and he left Watson and Lestrade with their heads spinning back at the scene of arrest.
He'd wanted to wait to reveal the truth to Watson here, in their sitting room, because Watson is devilishly attractive when he's staring at Holmes with that sense of wonder and appreciation, but of course Lestrade had wanted to know the details. And better to reveal them to Lestrade and get him out from under their feet as soon as possible. Now he and Watson are free to celebrate in their sitting room (and bedroom) as they wish.
His expression is already dark as he steps into their sitting room, grinning wolfishly at Watson.
"How should we go about celebrating this evening, my dear Watson?" he purrs.
