Sherlock: The Cake is a Lie
Title: The Cake is a Lie
Rating: PG
Synopsis: Mycroft doesn't actually like cake.
Mycroft sighed and opened the lid of the large box that had appeared on his desk. Walnut cake. How quaint. Pursing his lips slightly, he reached for the card, glanced at it - 'Thanks for your help earlier, Mycroft. Enjoy. PM' - and dropped it unceremoniously into the dustbin by his desk.
"Anthea?" He called, she popped her head round his office door.
"Sir?"
"Could you dispose of," he gestured to the cake box as if it were a dead rat, "this for me?"
"Of course sir. The usual place?"
He thought for a moment, "no, I think we've been spoiling them...fourth floor, I think this time."
"Yes sir." She picked up the cake box and left.
An apple. He thought, clicking the top of his pen, my kingdom for a bloody apple.
