First in a series. And to start us off – just for MLC and EE….there is one hiding in there (hint – EE this type was in your original canon list!)
I don't claim anyone is in character in any of these…

"Look Sherlock," Lestrade was at his wits end "you can't just burst in uninvited onto our crime scene! We have forensic scientists…."
"Oh! Do you mean Anderson? And do you expect him to solve the crime for you?" Sherlock sneered, which just made the Detective Inspector angrier.
Stepping between the two John held up a placating hand.
"Ladies please, there are ….um….ladies present."
The two detectives looked at him, one still angry, one puzzled. He cocked an eyebrow in the direction of Sally Donovan – unfortunately Anderson happened to be standing next to her at the time and he could hardly contain his anger.
"I thought better of you…." He started to say but John interrupted him.
"No, no you didn't. In fact Anderson I'd go as far as to say that you've never once thought anything at all about me." He stood, perfectly relaxed, staring almost insolently at the blue clad scientist.
"Ignore him." Sally's voice dripped acid "He's as bad as the freak!"
"Better as bad as a freak than as pathetic as an old maid!"
Lestrades mouth opened but no sound came out. Sally almost exploded. Anderson was apoplectic!
"I think we're done here" John said.
As they walked away Sherlock studied John thoughtfully.
"You just deliberately wound them up."
"Yup!" John smiled a crooked little smile
"Why?"
"Bored!"
