Rating - Teen
Characters - Sherlock, John
Spoilers - Through "The Reichenbach Fall"
Disclaimer - I don't own them and I don't make money off of them, but I don't like to dwell on that, so let's move on.
Summary - It's the holiday season. John Watson needs money. Sherlock Holmes needs something else.
Author's Notes - Here in America, we have these terrible holiday movies that play pretty much constantly through December. They are all startlingly simple and straightforward--quirky girl and quirky boy meet under quirky circumstances, fall in love, and discover the True Meaning of Christmas--and they are all filled with a tremendous amount of Christmas tropes, like holly and mistletoe and cute little children and even cuter pets. I was watching one a few weeks ago and thought, Wouldn't it be fun to write a terrible holiday film starring John and Sherlock?
And here it is. It's only half-written at this point (I just started it ten days ago! I'm working as fast as I can!), but I wanted to start posting it before the Christmas season was entirely over.
Because this is stupid and silly and I wanted it be a no-pressure Christmas gift for my poor betas and Britpicks who I otherwise swamp with stuff, it's unbeta'd and un-Britpicked. I tried to be good about looking up UK Christmas traditions, but I've probably failed in places. If it's little things, let me know. If the entire premise of the fic makes no sense, well, I guess that's a risk you take with crackfics like this one!
I hope all of you celebrating had an absolutely wonderful holiday!
(Also, this story is completely unconnected with John Watson's Twelve Things Happy People Do. I just couldn't resist the similar title.)
