“Bedroom, now,” Sherlock told him, stepping closer and staring at him intensely. “I have a sudden need for a shaggy bang.”
I don't understand why Sherlock feels the urge to get a new hairstyle and even less why he wants to make this capillary experiment in the bedroom, but hey, you're the author. ;-)

P.S. Welcome back, Plotbunny!

Who am I to dissuade Sherlock from getting a new hairdo if he wants one? As long as he doesn't want the SherCurls cut short, in which case I would be attempting some dissuading.

And presumably the hair-cutting scissors are in the drawer of his bedside cabinet, for reasons unknown. *shrugs*

I'm not sure when John became a qualified hairstylist, though ...

*chortle* Oh that's brilliant!!!

"...unlike the many times that I have gritted my teeth through an otherwise readable and enjoyable fanfic because Sherlock, John and other Brits are saying “gotten” all the time."

*nods heartily* And the other one is that British men don't wear "pants" on the outside"!!

Thanks for the laugh!

*giggles* Yes, I too get confused when either of the boys goes to the bedroom, puts on a shirt and some pants and then heads out into the street. The mental image is most disturbing ...

Tea aspiration is contagious.

Was looking for something entirely different (I know I've seen a transcript of the newspaper snapshots on JW's "blog" around here somewhere.....) and caught the title. Despite my across the pond location/origin I smiled, clicked, and then almost aspirated my tea! Wonderful. Thanks for making my day.

Glad you enjoyed it! I'm not sure whether to be proud or guilty that I have apparently caused several people to have near-choking episodes!
