I'm considering expanding this snippet into something longer, but as that may not be for a while, or ever, I'm just going to post this now anyways. Quick scene with Sherlock and John, who of course belong to BBC, etc.


They'd made a kind of game of it by now, John changing his password and Sherlock cracking it. He'd already run out of the usual ones, and was starting to run out of fresh ideas short of random characters. He sat down to his computer mentally going through the list of this past week. He typed something in but it came up wrong. He stared at it. Tried again. Still no.

With a sigh of resign he said "Sherlock?"

He was over on the couch absorbed in a book. "Mm?"

"What's my password?"

"Oh, Asparagus." He replied as if asked something completely obvious, like 'what was that restaurant we ate at yesterday'.

John typed it in. Accepted.

"Did you …..change my password?" he had to ask.

"What would be the point in that? You've been getting very boring lately." He continued. "Choosing what you think are 'random' words."

John shook his head. He couldn't even figure out what had possessed him to choose asparagus. "Sherlock, how could you…."

"You changed it last night right after putting away groceries. Milk, too short. Eggs, the same. Etc. The only thing you brought back which would strike you as 'random' enough was artichoke but you didn't want to be that obvious, so."

John could only shake his head and laugh.
