Pleased to have got you dancing. Of course, Sherlock should really have got you to help him out with the code-breaking, but he's probably still pissed off about the Holmescest.

PS: since you like fics playing technical games, have you seen Kalypso-V's amazing case fic in 221Bs?

Absolute WIN! (Is there a hidden message? I tried a couple of counts.)

I read someone - I think it was Morgan Stuart talking about finding it hard to write 221Bs (though she's very good at them). Which somehow mutated into this in my brain, which always goes a bit barking when it comes to 221Bs.

But note that when other LJ people turn up in Sherlock fics, they get sexy times. I get called an idiot by my own characters. (Yes, I do have problems. Good deduction, that).
