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.

Avalanches are criminally (seewhatididthar) underused as a murder method.

That could be a crossover between Sherlock and James Bond!

I'm with you John, the best thing about skiing is what comes after skiing.

Mycroft is a genius: he pleases his baby brother and he gets rid of a bad guy at the same time. Plus, as he's canonically more clever that Sherlock, he probably manages to have another bad guy accused of the murder. :D

Of course Mycroft arranged the whole thing; it was his Christmas present to Sherlock! 🤣
