Summary: "“Actually, Mary,” he said, a possessive edge to his voice John had only ever heard a couple of times before, “He did find someone to replace you with.”

Oh, John thought. Sherlock was pretending John had gotten a girlfriend. Well, this lie should be easy enough. When he was with Mary, it’s not like she came with him everywhere. Yeah, just lie and say you do. That’ll wipe the smirk off her face.

“You see, he found me.”"

A lie Sherlock made to make John seem like he had moved on from Mary snowballed, and now they're fake-dating at a party. Oh, and they both have crushes on each other. Will they fake it till they make it, or fake it till they break it? (See what I did there?)
