Rating: G
Word count: Every installment has 221 words (on my computer)
Characters: John/Sherlock
Timeline: After chapter 23, a day or two after drabble 4
Disclaimer: This is a transformative work inspired by the BBC television series Sherlock, created by Mark Gatiss and Steven Moffat, and the 2009 movie Nativity! from Mirrorball Films.
Summary: This is a series of 221b drabbles set in and around The Baker Street Nativity and will make very little sense without having read that first. These drabbles may also contain spoilers for the main story. They are not posted in any particular order, and will jump around in time. I will try to give you some idea of where each drabble fits within (or before or after) the main story in the 'Timeline' field in the header. This series has not been beta read.
"Here you are," John said when he returned from the kitchen with two egg-nogs. "Oh, what's this then?" He stopped at the sight of Sherlock with his violin tucked under his chin. He hadn't seen Sherlock touch the violin since they'd worked on the music for the play.
"I made you miss Christmas," Sherlock said. "I thought we might at least have some music."
John set Sherlock's mug next to him. "We didn't miss Christmas. We spent it together. I've never had a better one. Honestly." John took a sip of his drink. "Although I could probably have done without you trying to poison yourself."
"I had the right one!" Sherlock insisted.
John gave him a sceptical look.
Sherlock huffed. "What shall I play?"
"What do you know?"
"Mummy used to have me play all the traditional ones at her Christmas parties. Silent Night, Good King Wenceslas. Whatever you want."
John took in Sherlock's rigid stance; his eyes skipping away when mentioning his mother's parties. He recalled how tense Sherlock was on the way to his mother's, how he'd reacted to her barely veiled disapproval of him, his achievements; of John.
"You know what?" John said. "I think it's time for some new traditions. Play the song you wrote for the Annunciation. Your version."
Sherlock smiled and picked up his bow.
