    Summary

    Things were good, all told. Weren’t they? He had a job he was good at, a modest flat, a fantastic daughter who worried about him a bit too much for comfort, an ex he could at least speak with without it devolving into shouting and tears, and his car was in decent repair. On paper he was doing just fine. So why did he feel so…at a loss?

    Furthermore, Greg and Mycroft weren't actually dating. Mycroft was just a casual shag. This was an important thing to remember.

    Summary

    "Well. I'm flattered and insulted. Just another afternoon with Mycroft Holmes."

    "I do so like to be consistent."

    There were any number of reasons why this was a terrible idea—not the least of which was that Mycroft seemed to think that making Greg angry amounted to a sort of charm.

    Summary

    The trick to being with Sherlock Holmes, John mused, was to always keep in mind that he wouldn’t actually murder you and wear your skin as a suit.

    “I can see the appeal,” Sherlock was murmuring to him over the peeled body, much to the horror of any yarders in earshot. “I often find it surprisingly difficult to get inside your head. It might be cathartic to do in a more literal sense.”

    John snorted. “With your curls? Our killer didn’t even clean this poor bugger out properly, just pulled him on gore and all. You’d be picking bits of me out of your hair for weeks afterwards.”

    Summary

    “You’ve stuffed an entire body into the fridge this time,” John accused. “What happened to the milk? The leftover risotto? My bloody jam?”

    Sherlock opened his eyes at that. “As a doctor, it should be readily apparent to you that there is only a partial body in our refrigerator. Popular horror stories notwithstanding, it’s rare for an entire corpse to fit into one this size. I had to cut it up into several parts to pack it in, and there is still only seven eighths of it there.”

    John stared at the ceiling. “That’s... not better.”
