The first time John met Sherlock, the man was over-bearing, creepily observant and came across as more than a little insane. John’s acceptance was taken as read and he found himself falling into line without really understanding why

The scones are delicious, the tea hideously expensive, but equally delicious, and Amelia is delightful company. She reminds him of some of his battier great-aunts, and at the same time, some of his best friends from the army. She tells some of the most inappropriate jokes he has ever heard, made all the funnier by her immaculate outfits and hair.
Two weeks after the cream tea, they go bowling... proper ten pin bowling. And he is surprised to find her in jeans and a t-shirt. She even puts on the ridiculous two tone bowling shoes

“Do you have a problem with me talking to your mother?” John asks over Indian one night. Sherlock looks up, a little bit ‘deer in the headlights’ and shakes his head.
“Not at all.”
“Liar.”
Sherlock looks down at his Lamb Roghan Josh and frowns.

“What's up with Sherlock?” he asks Amelia the next day (she’s decided that he should learn archery of all things, mainly, he thinks, so that she can laugh at him).
“What is always up with Sherlock?” she replies, getting another arrow in the gold with barely any apparent effort.
“Not what I was asking,” John informs her. He watches his own arrow hit the blue.
“I told you before, dear,” she says, patting his arm in a maternal fashion. “He’s jealous. He’s never had a friend before and here I am dragging you off gallivanting without him.”
“Jealous of me?” John asks, rolling the words around in his head and trying to make them fit.
“Oh yes, I thought you had worked that out,” she lets another arrow fly, it thunks into position right next to the first. “It’s quite sweet. He always has

“I’ve changed my mind,” Sherlock says, walking into John’s room at five am, when all reasonable and sane people are asleep.
“’bout wha’?”
“My mother,” Sherlock says. “You’re not allowed to see her anymore.”
“Says who?”
“I say,” Sherlock tells him, before walking out.
John rolls over and goes back to sleep.

He gets home to raised voices and mounts the steps with a little confusion. One of the voices, the one that is yelling the loudest and most angrily, is female and John is not expecting any irate females. Though, considering Sherlock, it could be anyone - from royalty to a local homeless person.
He opens the door and sees Sherlock standing, looking completely dejected, his shoulders slumped, his eyes fixed on the floor, and his mother, all five foot five of her, yelling up at him with her hands on her hips.

This is marvellous and Amelia is splendidly well done!
The trophy bit is by far my favourite. :D
(Also, I just had the most terrifying thought: what if Amelia is a timetravelled version of Amy Pond? Which, of course, would make Rory Sherlock and Mycroft's dad. :P My apologies if you're not a Doctor Who fan - I just couldn't resist. :P

THAT WOULD BE AWESOME!
Amelia just struck me as a sort of Mummy Holmes type name but YES, ANON!
GAH... someone sort of needs to write this. With Rory being all 'AARGH! I have insane genius children and I thought I'd got past that part of my life.' And Amy just laughing at it all, and magical mystery tours of Time and Space with the Doctor, because Amy will insist that he comes to visit.

Yay! A fellow Whovian! :D
Someone should definitely write it! If I had any energy I'd try myself. :P
Could you be convinced to?
Oh Lord, and poor, poor Rory! And what would Sherlock and Mycroft make of Eleven, I wonder? :P
Amy would think this was all the best thing ever - and John would be terribly bemused at how such a lovely, lovely fellow such as Rory ever produced such spawn. :D
Also, the thought of the Holmes brothers (plus John) in the TARDIS makes me unduly happy... :D
This totally deserves its own universe, you know. :)
(Also do I know you from the Who fandom? Your awesome writing style and fantastic ideas seem vaguely familiar. :P)

It would be epic.
Alas, I have about 50 other things I have promised to write for people and none of them is getting done. I have no TIME!
I have also never written in the Who fandom (which answers another of your questions ;D)
John and Rory would get along like a house on fire. They would bond over medicine and living with Sherlock (and other insane geniuses) and Rory would apologise for having such an impossible son.
They would be one big, happy, rather disturbing, time-travelling family.

Can I add that both Sherlock and Mycroft would know that you can't out wait Rory? Like they get into trouble and Rory says "I'm waiting until the person that broke the vase comes clean." I mean he waited 2000 years, surely he can wait until one of them breaks!

I'm going to have to post it as a prompt on part three if no one here is prepared/has the time/etc to write it.
And yes to Rory and the waiting. He can out stubborn anyone. *loves on Rory* Possibly my favourite of the New Who companions... probably, actually.
