Summary
John Watson isn't an idiot - let's start there. His newly-finalised divorce has left him with no moustache, few acquaintances he can trust and a very solid resolution never to attend a wedding again, unless it just so happens to be his own.
But when the opportunity presents itself to accompany his best friend to a family destination wedding and get to witness a whole new, uncharted side of him, curiosity takes over. And if the price for this knowledge is pretending to be Sherlock's boyfriend for a day or two, well, so be it.
After all, John Watson isn’t an idiot, but he’s not exceptionally wise either.

Summary
John knows full well how technically useless he is on Sherlock’s cases, but the man (and the rest of the yard apparently) still insists he comes along. No matter how bloody inconvenient.
And after his last attempt to not go…Well he would just have to keep doing whatever was so important.
If only he could figure out what it was.

Anthea hatches a plan to get Mary out of the country for a few weeks and Mycroft persuades John to stay at 221B to try to work things through with Sherlock.

Summary
Frankly, Sherlock was offended when people assumed that he was unaware of the existence of mistletoe, since he “wasn’t big on pop culture.” He loved Christmas and he took an interest in botany, of course he knew what mistletoe was!
Sweet, sweet Christmas fluff that entirely ignores all the events of SIGN.

Summary
It’s not exactly an overwhelmingly average Tuesday when Sherlock gains a rather intimate appreciation of morse, considering the revelation he has that day, but it’s a near thing.
Sherlock Holmes is in love with John Watson, and it is absolutely killing him. But because John Watson rather fancies himself a ladies man (he wishes), it would be rather problematic to say it straight (ha!) to him. How to tell him?
