S/J plus Lestrade plus 'Zelda.'

John and Lestrade become gaming buddies.
They know they're probably way too old to be playing computer games but they've been gamers since childhood and it's just something they love.
When they both start up a game of The Legend of Zelda, John and Lestrade find that their lives are taken over by quests and obvious bloody puzzles that don't become obvious until you've spent 2 hours trying to do the wrong thing! *ahem*
Sherlock is annoyed. Why won't John pay him attention and leave that stupid, tedious console alone?
One day, when there are no cases, Sherlock sits with them in his pyjamas and moans about the game.
That is, until he becomes OBSESSED! And brilliant at it.
(If there's a scene where John finds him playing it on his own in the middle of the night, I will dance for joy!)

I know this is fiction because even if you're Sherlock 'Effing Holmes it's impossible to beat the Water Temple in a day. That temple is pure evil. IT WAS PROBABLY DESIGNED BY MORIARTY. :D
This was cute! Make them play Majora's Mask next--now that's a hardcore game.

Ha, no I know that less than a day is impossible if you actually do the level. Miyamoto was apparently haunted by how hard the level was.
I wanted to end it with some weird exaggerated ending for some reason to emphasize how good Sherlock got at it, and I was wary about using one day instead of two, but the other options I had were a broken TV, or John getting a concussion caused by an N64 console.

and I think it makes perfect sense that Sherlock would totally dig this game. From the puzzles to the side quests, I'm sure he'll be entertained :))
