Hehehehehhehe, this was a delight to read - funny and spot-on. I think I most enjoyed Sherlock deducing his own present for John and that that cock ring served both to free them and out them. :DDD

Thank you!

Sherlock enjoying deducing his own present (as John rolls his eyes) was so much fun to write, OMG, what a glorious goof he is. Thank you so much for the sweet comment, I love knowing I could add a giggle to someone's day!

I love the way bitching about Sherlock is the most fun anybody can have! Also that Molly is less ladylike than one might imagine. I like to ship her with Lestrade, so isn't he in for some fun! Take his mind off Sherlock's faults. *snort*

I have a definite soft spot for Lestrade/Molly as well, so I kind of wish I'd written a hint of that in there! I'll have to hope they slip into one of my other stories, because I just...I really want them both to be happy with a sweet kind person who appreciates them, and they would be so good at it... *sighs for them both*

"You should have seen what he did to our mother's favorite rose bush when he was ten," Mycroft said. Everyone looked at him. "Some things are too traumatic to retell," he said, shaking his head.

And now I want to know that story! :D

his own story of how Sherlock had stolen evidence from a crime scene, which might not have been so bad except the evidence was a box of kittens. "Had to reassure some panicked children that their kitties weren't going to get dissected--try comforting a hysterical kid when you're half-wondering if he isn't vivisecting them as you speak!"

OMG, Sherlock with kittens! *falls over*

"And on John's birthday, too," said Mrs. Hudson. "We should be focusing on him instead of how dreadful Sherlock can be."

"Exactly," said Stamford.

An awkward silence fell.

"So, the election results in Kyrgyzstan were rather intriguing, don't you think?" Mycroft said.

*snorts*

"Anyone else a Downton Abbey fan?" ventured Molly.

Oh, Molly would so be a fan of Downton Abbey! *new headcanon*

Only John would know him well enough

I...kind of want to figure out the story of the rose bushes! And the box of kittens as well! I have this image of the kittens all swarming up Sherlock's pants, mewling, while he absent-mindedly keeps plucking them off of him and focuses on their hair under a microscope...

I don't even watch Downton Abbey, and now I want to in order to know what Molly likes about it, lol.

I love that Sherlock 'forgot' John's birthday, only not really. :)

I knew he would have forgotten it, but then I was really happy to find out he...hadn't forgotten it? Only with Sherlock can you get away with that, really...

Sherlock chirping! I can so see it!

Ahh, I loved that verb for his voice, for that kind of gaily cheerful thing he does sometimes...

Sherlock not knowing what to do with dirty dishes fills me with glee, eee! "I am attempting to be helpful as a sort of apology for outing us--not that I think I need to apologize--but I have never seen so many dirty dishes in this flat in my life and have no idea where to begin. Hm. *shuffle shuffle*"

Bwahahaha! This was so SO much fun! Bravo!!!

I loved every line! Things got awkward, indeed!

This is just fantastic :) Perfect voices, every one. And it's hard, in my opinion, to write a crowd(ish) thing, but you did it, and it worked beautifully :)

[mithen]

Hee, thank you! The crowd scene was helped immensely by the fact that they were all intensely focused on the same thing. :) It was a challenge to get them across in just a few lines, but the actors and writing are so sharp and distinct that it was a fun challenge!

[animesiren]

Lol this was a fun read :) cute too

[mithen]

Thank you so much! They can be so much (cute) fun to write!
