“I heard a rumour once,” he mused, “about evidence from that Amontillado case that had to be taken out of the Museum and stuck in storage somewhere. But what of it?”

It was altogether too easy to see when Anderson was trying to play it cool. Sally grinned, reaching inside the neckline of the catsuit and withdrawing a key from its hiding place in her bra. Anderson’s eyes widened as they followed the motion. “I think,” Sally murmured, “that we should go take a look for ourselves.”

To be fair, it was Past You who made that decision. Time travel problems.

Oh dear I don’t even know how long ago you sent me this. I am terrible at lists. Waaaah. Okay, let’s-a-see.

1. I’ve been to 13 countries on 4 continents. I’m very much a homebody but have gotten myself out there on a few adventures over the years.

2. My next international adventure is this August. I will be in England for two weeks, mostly to attend a wedding. But also lucking out with the timing so I can see Richard III. Aw yiss.

3. In order to be gone for so long, I'm just quitting my job. I'm over that bakery.

4. And baking as a profession. It would have been nice to make it work but it's hard to maintain the necessary energy levels and I think I'd rather be done with shift work.

5. What am I doing when I get back? Ha, I'll let you know.

6. I call myself left-handed because I write, hold a fork, pipe frosting, and shoot pool left-handed. But I do basically everything else right-handed so…??

7. Number 5 was an anti-fact. 

8. My kitchen is equipped with stuff like a pizza stone, madeleine pan, and stand mixer but I somehow don’t have tongs, a ladle, or like, a medium sauce pan. I’m not sure what’s happening either.

9. Since I started filling out this post (it's been in my drafts for awhile), two of my "facts" stopped being true, making this list even more of a chore to complete. You might be able to tell I'm losing steam. 

A Happy Return

Summary:

Moments after Many Happy Returns Minisode, (John watching Sherlock’s birthday video that Lestrade brought), John hears his doorbell buzz.

Notes:

For alutiv.

Work Text:

“Lestrade?”

“Yep, hey... Uh, I was just headed to the tube station, and I thought, well, maybe you might like some company before you watch that thing. Raising his eyebrows, and gesturing towards the shoebox he’d brought over. “You know, before you have to deal with...that.”

John gave a pained grin, “Well, it’s too late for... no. Yeah, you know what? Come on it, what’d ya get?” His eyes locked onto the paper-bag wrapped bottle in Greg’s hand.

This knowledge has improved my day immeasurably. I can't even tell you.

Yes. Yes, please.

Well, he did just get his favorite jumper back…. Sorry not sorry.

And I’ve been rather a slacker of late.
