The ending made me giggle but I really loved this

"He hates the madness and chaos that Sherlock brings in his wake. Hates that he’s the one to solve things. When Sherlock turns up unannounced at crime scenes, humiliates him publicly, won’t even wear the bloody suit, Anderson wants to strangle him with his overpriced scarf. Sometimes he dreams he’s doing it."

thank you very much - I have never tried writing Anderson before and never expected to, so I'm glad you liked that bit as well as the ending!

Oh, THANK YOU, fengirl88! This is WONDERFUL! :-D I would have commented sooner, but I haven't really had a chance to check my flist yet. As it was, I was completely surprised and touched when I learned about this fic!

I think it's hilarious that Sherlock is pursuing Anderson and won't take no for an answer! It's even better that Mycroft used his own methods of persuasion that freaked Anderson out even more! Lastly, with the brontosaurus suit Sherlock refuses to wear and the poetic justice of Donovan's unhelpful comments, this is the kind of fun, silly and downright ridiculous humour that I LOVE! :-D

[fengirl88]

thank you very much - I'm so glad and relieved that you like it!

I thought Anderson was just riled that Sherlock wouldn't wear the protective suit at crime scenes - that cracking sound you probably heard was my brain breaking at the idea of Sherlock in a brontosaurus suit ...

[rusty_armour]

LOLOLOLOLOL! I'm sorry! My mind sometimes goes to BAD places! I almost put a question mark after brontosaurus suit and then decided what the hell. *g* Obviously, it would make more sense for Sherlock to be wearing a protective suit, but I like the idea that Anderson would be pushing for a brontosaurus suit. Actually, I think he should have insisted on it before agreeing to that date.

Uh, apparently, I'm not just one year older but a lot more insane. *g*

*sporfles*

I think somebody did write a fic with a brontosaurus suit in it, but Anderson wanted Sally to wear it.

or maybe I'm imagining that. delirium, anyone?

I did wonder if Anderson should insist on being taken to the Natural History Museum. *grins*

Mycroft, you brute! XD

Sadly, Sherlock will probably ruin the whole thing by sitting there and insulting Anderson the whole time instead of traumatizing him properly.

Perchance, did you continue this as part of some kind of a wager? >.>

[fengirl88]

thank you - yes, Mycroft knows no pity in this one!

no wager involved: I wanted to write a 221b and the b-word triggered it. but I think your horrified enquiries about the date may have played a part as well... *grins*

What an intriguing premise! Losing a bet to Mycroft and having to go on a date with Anderson -- John, you're cruel.

Oddly enough, Sherlock doesn't seem to mind being strangled with his scarf. :D

[fengirl88]

well maybe that would make for a better date than I'd imagined! *grins*

thank you very much!

[lawless523]

Hee! Also, I appreciated the pun in your title. A date worse than death, indeed.
