Title: A Question of Chicken and Sauce
Recipient: gray_cardinal
Author: REDACTED
Verse: ACD Holmes
Characters/Pairings: Holmes & Watson
Rating: Gen
Warnings: Child Harm
Summary: It was in the autumn of 1909 that the man Pennington came to Baker Street to consult Holmes. He arrived early in the morning on a Monday. It was cool and cloudy outside, but not raining, and he did not dither upon the doorstep, rather knocking and immediately and making his business known to Mrs. Hudson quickly, for he had soon ascended to our rooms.

Title: She's Got Eyes Of The Bluest Skies (As If They Thought Of Rain)
Recipient: afteriwake/penaltywaltz
Author: REDACTED
Verse: BBC Sherlock
Characters/Pairings: Greg Lestrade & Bianca Lestrade (his daughter), Greg Lestrade/Mycroft Holmes
Rating: Gen
Warnings: None
Summary: "Her dad was talking to someone again, she could tell. She could always tell when he came home late, smiley and blushing and twirling the keys in his fingers. Since she was “only ten,” or whatever her mom kept saying, she was too young to officially know these things. She knew anyway, though. She may be ten, but she was not stupid, and she knew what it was like when one of her parents had gotten a new boyfriend."

10-year-old Bianca Lestrade doesn't mind having divorced parents, honestly. However, she does mind when her dad is spending all her time with this new guy. (Spoiler alert: the "new guy" is Mycroft. She doesn't mind Mycroft.)

Title: Rum, Sodomy and the Lash
Recipient: koi-no-disco-queen
Author: REDACTED
Verse: 1954 Sherlock Holmes
Characters/Pairings: Sherlock Holmes/John Watson
Rating: E
Warnings: None
Summary: Sometimes I am accused (by Holmes, mainly) of embellishing the romantic aspects of a tale to make for a more engaging story. Everybody wants the hero or heroine to be in love, don’t they? However, recently, more often than not I find myself downplaying this aspect of my stories—especially after an incident during a case that came to be published as The Case of the Blind Man’s Bluff. On that fateful and most memorable day, my bath was interrupted and I almost got myself arrested for threatening Inspector Lestrade with a golf club.

Baby Miss L is now in her pirate era, so I found some toddler-appropriate books about pirates, plus Commotion in the Ocean and sent them to her. Today I got a video of her reading Commotion in the Ocean - she knows all her sea animals very well! - and also a thumbs up from her mom, who uses it with her students(? she is a speech pathologist who works with preschool kids at a school, so I'm not sure if they are her students or clients) too.

I'm not the most superstitious sports fan out there, but I'm a little stitious and so I would not be surprised if the vibes turn rancid at MSG tonight due to the fucking cheeto attending the game. Fucking James Dolan can go fuck. *deep breath* Still, LGK!!!

In work news, my boss informed me that they would purchase home printer/scanner for me if I had one I liked and it was under $500, so does anyone have any recommendations? I would prefer that it be small, as I don't have a lot of room, but could keep it half under my desk if I shift around the air purifier. I'd need a shelf for it, too probably, so it's not just sitting on my 1939 parquet floor.

When I awoke, I was alone in bed. This did not surprise me as Holmes always kept earlier hours than me, even into retirement.

I made chicken pesto meatballs this afternoon and they're good, though they needed more than 10 minutes to reach 165°F (15 minutes worked out). I got 18 so I guess I made them smaller than directed? and they looked like they are swimming in oil when I took them out of the oven, because I guess the pesto (I used Buitoni since it was on sale) was full of oil, so I used a slotted spoon to lift them out and soaked it up with paper towels, so the cleanup wasn't that bad. I also didn't bother adding salt based on comments saying it was too salty - the pesto is what is seasoning the meat so I don't think I'm missing out.
