I adore a cracked out AU

So naturally what I want to see is the Fashion Show/Magazine!AU.
Now, don't look at me like that: think of Sherlock as the fabulous, hand waving, egocentric dismissive genius. ("Oh, if you're going to be derivative then nothing is going to happen. Next season is puff pockets and nipped in waists, any idiot can see that!") Lestrade is the long suffering and harried sub editor, living off coffee and doing all the actual work of trying to point the magazine in a sensible direction while the big boss is off having fun elsewhere. ("We-ell, we are in an eighties revival, so it does look like that you're saying has legs.") Anderson and Donovan are clearly in-house creatives who just don't rub the right way with Sherlock. ("Scarves. What we need to be considering is scarves"Scarves are bor-ring!" Sherlock sing songs, sailing through the room with a livid blue one knotted around his neck

I don’t know about magic, but this is TOTAL CRACK, and it’s a bit less flouncy than you wanted. It’s a glossy high society magazine with a fashion section, where everyone except John hates their jobs. Basically just an excuse to string a load of terrible puns together.

Two minutes to go before the Fashion meeting. His least favourite bit of the week. Hell, of his life. And this to discuss their incredibly important spring/summer spread

“So you’d rather that unimaginative slug with the flair of a beetle spinning on its back because it can’t turn itself over-”
“Has already pitched us the exact same feature, and we’re going with it, yeah. Look, Sherlock. It’s your job to decide what clothes you want photographed, preferably the designer freebies we get sent, and how you want them photographed. That’s all. And I wish you wouldn’t bring that bloody skull to meetings!”
Sherlock knew the sight of his abnormally long, bendy fingers caressing the bleached bone freaked Lestrade out. So of course he did it more.
“I need this. I think better when I talk aloud

“Sherlock! Sally, please go on.”
“Last chance,” warned Sherlock, re-flinging his scarf just so.
“As senior assistant, I can tell you it’s all about shoulders and waists. Shoulders big, waists small. Built up, nipped in. Linebacker, wasp. Padded, whittled-”
“Cease your prattle!” Sherlock’s fist banged down on the table, and Lestrade took another swig from his ‘mineral water’ bottle. He doubted he was fooling any one by this point and cared even less.
“You try this every month - last month it was legs and necks, as in legwarmers and snoods! I don’t care if it was the last time your hair was in fashion - stop trying to make the 80s revival happen! As long as there’s breath in my body, nothing that glows in the dark will cross these pages

The attention is on the upper classes with all this royal wedding fever bollocks, and they’d model for free, just to see their houses in the mag

I'm not even done the first part of this, but HOLY SHIT I AM FUCKING DYING. OH THE HILARITY, I just made a really embarrassing series of facial expressions and had to stifle my laughter because I'm in the library. And now the cute guy across from me probably thinks there's something wrong with me.
BUT IT IS WORTH IT, HOLY SHIT, THIS FILL IS HILARIOUS. YOU WIN AT LIFE. :D

“I could shoot that, yeah,” agreed John, and Lestrade wished someone would come along and shoot him.
That line ♥ I love its awful pun-ness.
