Rating: M
Warnings: None for content; masturbation scene with naughty language gives it the M rating
Summary: Gregory brings his crush home for Christmas.
Authors Notes: So this is my gift to capsquared! I had a lot of fun writing this, even if I thought it was going to go on forever before I sat down and Mycroft was like "Nope. You can write sequels after the reveal." So enjoy this one shot, and if you want, I'll gift the other boarding school/university-era fics to you! There's also a Rosemary & Thyme reference if anyone watches that show. See if you spot it!

Also, many thanks to my beta [REDACTED] for Brit-picking and fixing my grammar mistakes as I finished chapter 3 on no sleep and with a lot of coffee.

Warnings: Visual triggers: Flashing lights. Depictions of police: Police acting in their capacity as law enforcement throughout the vid. Violence: Bloody nose, dead body (not a major character).
Summary: Sherlock Holmes is a brilliant detective, but he also picks and chooses. Not so the dedicated members of New Scotland Yard and other police forces: they are workin' for a livin'.
Notes: Thank you to my hard workin' beta who will be named later. Special shout-out to actor Eric Kofi Abrefa whose character was only called "Policeman" but is a standout in this vid. And in case you say, hey, haven't I seen that that Young Policeman before, he's Luke Newberry, who played the teen-zombie main character in BBC's In the Flesh.
Music: "Workin' for a Livin'," Phil Vassar with Huey Lewis, originally by Huey Lewis and the News
