Oh, BRAVO!

I know you said you were going to do it, and it wasn't as if I lacked faith or anything, but damn! Genius. I've been scratching my head ever since you mentioned 'baster' - why the hell didn't I think of the 'baby' thing? I blame a weekend with Atlin who turns all thoughts in a certain direction ;)

It's entirely her fault that when you mentioned 'brimming' as being one of the happy 'b' words you were considering, I immediately thought 'hey, drop the b and you've got a fic' :D

Beautifully brilliant!

Took all day, but your challenge put a bee in my bonnet and I had to lay it down. So glad you liked it!!

For the record, this story goes entirely against my natural aversion to kid fiction in Sherlock fandom. Mycroft's protests are my own.

By the way, you weren't entirely wrong about Atlin's influence. Her repeated use of the term "shagging for babies" (love that!) was largely responsible for the direction this took.

Thank you for the lovely comments, your interest, and your support! :D

Heheh. This is great! That kid's gonna have a really interesting life (I mean that in the good way, not the "Chinese proverb" way...). (-:

I wrote this even though I could not imagine integrating a kid into life at Baker Street. Someone should write that, but not me. Glad you liked it!

Yeah, a kid at Baker Street... O_O

This is absolutely delightful, and the mental image of John and Sherlock with the specimen cups made me giggle as much as I imagine they were.

My favorite part too! Thanks for the lovely comment!

How very strange and interesting.

aurora_boreali September 20 2011, 22:52:16 UTC

I choose to take that as a compliment. And I agree. Strange. :D

Heehee! Love the discovery of his middle name. This is fun.
