Title: The Baker Street Nativity Advent Calendar (15/24)

labellecreation, who wanted a follow-up to this manip, and Eggs&b on AO3, who wanted John watching Sherlock being effective with the kids
Rating: G
Word count: Every installment has 221 words (on my computer)
Characters: John/Sherlock, children from the class
Timeline: The day after drabble 14 (note that although the manip was posted in reaction to a scene in chapter 17, I have set the entire event a couple of chapters earlier so that it fits the timeline of the main story better)
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.
Mr Holmes ♥ Mr Watson. Christ. And a smiley face to boot. John folded his arms and faced the class.
"All right, who did it?"
A titter rippled through the desks.
"It's obvious who did it." Sherlock spoke up from behind him.
John turned around, raising his eyebrows, because it really wasn't. Half the class looked guilty and the other half embarrassed.
"Handwriting," Sherlock said, his exasperation apparent. He flicked his laser-pointer eyes through the rows of suspects. They responded by falling silent, squirming, and looking anywhere but the front of the room.
"If you need to write something that you would prefer not to be identified as the author of, you should learn to disguise your handwriting, although even that isn't foolproof. It's still you writing it, and there will still be tells.
"Everyone take out a sheet of paper and write out all ten of this week's spelling words, making your best attempt to disguise your handwriting. Do not put your name on your paper. Mr Watson will then collect them. Anyone whose paper I cannot immediately identify - and who has spelled all ten words correctly - is absolved from additional homework tonight. Everyone else will write ten sentences incorporating the words. You may begin."
The children silently got to work. John gave Sherlock a nod of acknowledgment. Not bad.
