i know you're probably sick of these by now XD;

I'm glad it was what you hoped for. And I'm glad there was laughter this time instead of all the tears.

But really, must you laugh at my expense? I'm engaged to be married. To a woman. I am not gay, nor have I ever been.

What happens on bakerstreet stays there...

God. I'll probably still get accused of it after celebrating my ten year anniversary.

So, I'm not understanding the problem. You're getting married, you're not gay...but then you speak of "what happens on bakerstreet?"
Was there a drunk gay orgy you got mixed into perhaps?

[you_dont_work_alone]

Let's just say there's the truth and then there's what happens in my mun's head.

They are not at all the same.

[no78921]

Oh, so your mun would like you to be gay. Yes, I understand how that goes. My mun wants me to stop being such a git but it just won't happen.

[you_dont_work_alone]

I wish I had your problem.

[theroseisanextra]

You know what happened and what didn't happen. Those of us with observational skills can tell what happened and what didn't happen. How is what anyone else thinks a concern?

That said, you can't tell me you wouldn't be at least a little gay for one or two people. Like that big Irish bloke who was in that terrible movie we watched once. Taken, I think?

[you_dont_work_alone]

Because I'm the one living in my mun's headspace. It's hard not to be bothered by someti--.

What movie? Who are you?

[Oh please don't be an ex-girlfriend he forgot about.]

[theroseisanextra]

Liam Neeson, that was his name. You said you'd heard that in terms of size he's actually

...wait. Hang on. Sorry. You've got the wrong bits.

Charlotte Holmes. World's only consulting detective.

[you_dont_work_alone]

Charlotte Holmes?

Sherlock never mentioned a sister.

[theroseisanextra]

Sherlock? Is that what his name is? Good lord.

I'm not his sister. It's... no, you know what, it's not complicated, it's just difficult for most people to digest.

[you_dont_work_alone]

Really? Because you already sound like you're related.

[theroseisanextra]

He's another version of me. Bit like how if he were to hold an orange in his right hand, and he were to walk through a looking-glass, he'd emerge on the other side with the orange in his left hand.

Except instead of an orange he'd have been born a woman.

All caught up now? Yes? Good.

[you_dont_work_alone]

So.. you're Sherlock if Sherlock was born a woman.

[Is that right?]

[theroseisanextra]

You are a clever boy! I was expecting this to take hours of flailing and breathing into paper bags.

[you_dont_work_alone]

I know such things are possible in this realm. Doesn't make it easy to swallow, though.

[theroseisanextra]

Not really, no. You have to do a lot of very un-scientific assuming.

I do, however, assume that the coat looks better on me.

[you_dont_work_alone]

Oh? Don't let him hear you say that.

[theroseisanextra]

He can pretend to feel superior over being taller. Which he undoubtedly is.

Anyway. Congratulations on the... wife. Thing.

[solvescases]

You know you really should ask her. Before too long.

[you_dont_work_alone]

Oh, thank you.

Mary seems to like you. Can't figure out why.

[theroseisanextra]

Because I'm charming and funny and you like me?

Well, him me. One hopes she'd be intelligent enough not to be jealous if I were on your side of the proverbial looking glass.

[you_dont_work_alone]

I really should. For some reason the moment is always spoiled.

[you_dont_work_alone]

She's not the jealous type. One of many wonderful qualities.

[theroseisanextra]

Oh God, are you going to get soppy? You're a doctor, you have access to tranquilizers. Your wedding present to me can be a prescription to knock me out whenever you start going on about romance.

[you_dont_work_alone]

Alright alright. You've made your point.

Can't you just be happy that I'm happy?

[solvescases]

Hm. Shouldn't be that difficult, it is only one question after all. [Oblivious!Sherlock is not getting the hint.]
