This is a selection of small stories of Sherlock Alternative Universes, such as freeroaming kittens Sherlock and Molly, Doberman John or a Very Lovely Teapot... with a bee-motif!
There will be three or four of them at least, interspersed with one longer story, and no copyright infringement is intended.

The first impression was of softness. Tiny little blond paws with soft pads, and large blue eyes looking at you as if the tiny kitten's heart was about to break. It could have made even Sally Donovan's cold heart melt in sympathy, but she neither saw nor heard anything, as usual.
The case in question was simple, barely a two, actually - but Sherlock had been bored, there hadn't been an interesting murder in almost three days, after all - and it was solved in a moment. Without even bothering to articulate the words "I'll text you the solution (in an hour, just to be difficult)" Sherlock ducked under the police tape and went to rescue the itty bitty kitten from the stormpipe it was slowly slipping into, seemingly having gotten one of its tiny paws stuck. Freeing the animal - which strangely didn't try to bite or claw at Sherlock at all - was the matter of a moment.
Normally, Sherlock seems to be the pet and someone else the human, in mixes like this, so I thought I'd prove that even our mad consulting detective can keep a pet successfully! This story will be more deeply explored between the smaller alternative universes.
