Advent Drabble 20 - Ski Trip

[earlgreytea68]

For K2togYo

John has this idea that a ski trip will be a fun family holiday. He’s not the best at skiing, but he likes very much the thought of going on holiday. He feels like they need it. It’s been a long year full of murder, and yes, that’s their lives, but still. He wants to sit by a fireplace sipping hot cocoa.

Mycroft says, “At a ski resort in the Alps? Nasty hotbeds of international intrigue.”

This recommends the idea to Sherlock. “Oh, excellent, let’s go.”

John supposes he shouldn’t be surprised when someone dies in an avalanche and Sherlock insists it was murder. He suspects Mycroft arranged the whole thing.
