smallhobbitA number of my flist have already done this, but better late than never, so specifically I'm copying ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
hardboiledbaby and listing three snippets from three WIPs. She, and others, manage three different fandoms; I, for some reason, have three Lestrade-centric Sherlock WIPs. Nevertheless, here they are:
###
A-de-aging trope, where Lestrade ends up caring for 6 year old Sherlock and John for the weekend:
“Mycroft send this for you,” Anthea said to Sherlock. “It’s a special drink, but he didn’t think you’d want it because it’s got a funny taste.”
She handed it over and Sherlock promptly drank it all down. He lay down and when he thought no-one was looking grabbed the teddy. Within thirty seconds he too was asleep.
Lestrade and Anthea tiptoed out of the room. “What was that?” he asked.
“A sleeping draft, specially prepared. It should last until tomorrow morning. Mycroft thought you might find it useful.”
“Did he say it had a funny taste?”
“No, he said to tell Sherlock not to argue and just drink it. I thought we’d have more success this way.”
Lestrade laughed.
“Oh, and Inspector,” she added, “I suggest you get an early night too. I have a feeling you may need it.”
###
Another trope, this time injured Lestrade, who needs Sherlock and John's help
Sherlock: “Where are you?”
“Here.”
John: “Are you standing or sitting?”
“Sitting.”
Sherlock: “What are you sitting on?”
“My bum.”
Sherlock: “Are you sitting on a chair or the floor?”
“The floor.”
Sherlock: “Is it dark?”
“It’s night time.”
Sherlock: “Look around. Tell me what you can see.”
“Ow.”
John: “Don’t move your head if it hurts.”
Sherlock: “What can you see in front of you?”
“My knees. That’s funny. One knee is wearing trousers, the other isn’t.”
###
The last one is part 12 of the Unexpected Family. Chapter One is posted here: The Photograph of Choice Chapter Two was due to be written in response to a prompt which never came, so is still waiting to be finished.
ETA: If anyone wishes to prompt for this, they would be welcome.
###
Maybe they'll get finished this year.
