A new chapter! Lovely! Boys can be idiots sometimes, good that Sherlock is here. :-D

Sherlock can't stand idiocy - especially emotional idiocy - worst sort. ;)

And yay for comments! Thank you!

you know, I really lie how you work the canon elements into this story :)

he, go Sherlock! Now, let's hope Greg does get over his fears and finally let's John in. (generally speaking here, not sexually)

Thanks - it's been equal amounts fun and nightmare trying to plot around the show!

I love the way Lestrade can't help using his enhanced wolf senses to try to figure out where John might have spent the night:

Lestrade breathed a little deeper; DustSHERLOCKRosinLeatherSoapFemaleJOHNSweatFloral - Sherlock had been playing his violin this morning? Ignore that - Sarah, her perfume, the fabric conditioner of her bedsheets was all over John. Lestrade rubbed at his nose and shut his senses off - no use torturing himself.

His mind when he's on the scent (literally) works in a similar way to Sherlock's!

I've got to say that this latest installment is worth it just to see Sherlock bash John's and Lestrade's heads together to try to make them see sense. I especially like this:

"Please," Sherlock scoffed. "Let me make this simple - you want him, he wants you, you're both idiots. Now, kiss and make up or whatever the hell it is you need to do. I have bigger fish to fry."

Well you would, wouldn't you? And he's not quite on Sherlock's level but he's the best of Scotland Yard - so he must be a pretty damn good detective in his own right!

When I first read this I just sighed with contentment. And reading it again it's so right; Sherlock telling them both to get on with it because he has better things to do than wait to sort themselves out; John finally taking the initiative and kissing Lestrade and then Lestrade grinning like an idiot. Wonderful.

Thank you! Lest's face it - Sherlock's not famed for his patience!
