Sherlock was coming to his, he didn't know why but Gene and Sherls had a plan and they needed his house to plot it out. His mom was out, as always, and his dad was the only one in. He was meant to be fixing the fridge he'd broken trying to do the shelves but instead he was having a cup of tea and watching the Rugby. But that meant free food before ( Read more... )

"Pirates today." Sherlock was adamant.  He was tired of going off on one of Peter's stupid adventures to save teddies or rescue fallen baby birds from nests and pretend that they were dinosaurs.  It was unrealistic, his games.  A chat with Mycroft last night had turned the tables on Sherlock's annoyance, however.  Peter needed fantasy, Sherlock ( Read more... )

"Gene, for the last bloody time, that's potpo--  You know what?  Fine.  Eat wood chips."  Sam rolled his eyes as he tried to get everything right for their guests.  It was the first time that he'd ever thrown a party and he was excited about it.  Well, as excited as a thirty-year old man ought to  get about parties ( Read more... )

Who: Sam, Peter, Sherlock (16) and Gene (18)
When: Sometime after Gene left school and the incident at the Lake

Sam didn't mind when he woke up with Gene in his bed.  On most nights.  Sometimes the older boy drove the two hours from Manchester whenever he had a night and morning off from the force, but that didn't mean that Sam didn't have things to ( Read more... )

Who: Sherlock (17), Peter (17)
When: After the date with Peter.

Sprawled out in bed, Sherlock was nursing a black eye and some tea, neither of which were as interesting as the files he had stolen from the dean's office.  He flipped over records, memorizing the information that he would likely need, and waited for Peter to arrive.  He was about ten ( Read more... )

Who: Sherlock (16), Gene (18), Peter (16), Sam (15)
When:  It's the summer before Gene goes to start college.  This happens after Sherlock cracks open his head during a camping trip and Gene and Sam come to an understanding.

Another road trip, this time, without the chance of Mycroft interfering.  Sherlock is still paying for that stunt, but this ( Read more... )

"You said you wanted to see everywhere in London. Big Ben, the London bloody eye and now we're just seeing the last one and getting it off the list. Scotland Yard," Gene rambled as he strolled along the street, hands in his pockets. He'd spent the passed few days trying to recover from the gunshot wound, which mainly involved drinking his weight in ( Read more... )

After that truly dreadful few minutes in down town London, mixed with all sorts of truths and bloody noses, all Sam wanted to do was sleep.  That was impossible, however, sure as he was that he had AIDS or some other awful disease that he would likely pass onto Gene Hunt.  He couldn't risk it ( Read more... )

Sam did attempt twice to cheer on up, but it was started to seem fake.  Even to him.  He was putting on airs for Gene, just to break the silences.  While the tears the night before had helped, Sam was not completely whole again.

It would take some time.  Unfortunately for both men in the Cortina, patience was a virtue neither really possessed.
