Modnote: when pasted into LJ, the paragraph breaks in the original document did not transfer - this is a problem with Word formatting we've flagged before. I've replaced these - but as I did it as an en masse "replace all", I haven't checked that the paragraphs look exactly as they did on the submitted doc. Let me know if there are any issues.

Ha! Just what the Landlady ordered! Such fun. Thanks ever so much, author!
And um... John somehow ended up with my husband's boxers. (He loves Animal) Awkward! ;)

I'm so pleased that you liked this.

Sorry about the boxers - clearly a case of great minds think alike (which just proves Mycroft was involved)

[non_canonical]

Hahaha! Now I'm wondering what John is going to buy Mycroft in retaliation ... :)

[sabrinaphynn]

I am pondering this as well... Hmmm... The most annoying thing might be a "mummy likes me best" tee shirt for Sherlock. Or an online diet subscription.

I am using Mycroft's present as my icon. For the man about town.

[thesmallhobbit]

Wellies with vehicles on them, of course!

[talimenios79]

This was wonderful.

Thank you

“I was wondering whether to make something other than a house, a TARDIS perhaps?”

YESSSS.

“Sherlock, have you eaten Mycroft’s head?”

He deserved it! I don't know why, but I'm sure Sherlock does. *gigglesnerk*

Short, sweet, and cute - kinda like John himself! Man, I'm loving this fest, so much good fic!

You realise of course we'll need to know what John found for vengeance purposes, when you can tell us.

Thank you for your comment. If Sherlock has his way the gingerbread men will be on display when Mycroft and Lestrade come for tea, so that he can gloat at headless Mycroft!

It took John a while, but my icon shows the present he chose - the "ideal" present for Mycroft.
