Advent Drabble 16 - Gingerbread

“Sorry for dropping by unexpectedly,” Lestrade said as he unwound his scarf. “I was just at loose ends and thought you might be in the mood for a hot toddy or two.”

John was about to say of course when Sherlock said scathingly, “What’s the matter? Is my brother busy toppling another country’s government?”

John said brightly, “Please come in. I hope you don’t mind that you’re just in time for the annual gingerbread decorating.”

“Oh, fun! What are we making?” Lestrade glanced over Oliver’s shoulder.

“Anatomically correct corpses of all the victims of Jack the Ripper,” Oliver explained happily.

I love it that Oliver's favourite things are always macabre (much like Archie in the wedding episode!!) - I wonder if you could write a sequel as to what Lestrade's response was? *grin*

Hahaha possibly!

GREG (doing his best):

SHERLOCK: We said "anatomically correct", Geoff.
Poor man, I hope he didn't visit them to take his mind off his job...

[earlgreytea68]

I think he probably knows better than that by this time!

Look at what I've just come across! :D

[rereader]

Based on what I’ve read about Jack the Ripper, I can only say “UGH”!

[earlgreytea68]

Yeah, totally accurate response.

I love how bloodthirsty Oliver is! Sherlock must be so proud.
