Christmas has passed, but I wrote it during that time. The book cover is in my profile.
In fic, Sherlock didn't know, who sold him to Moriarty.
If you like Sherlock as Jim's employee - I wrote other two "Moriarty won" fics (they also have book covers and videos) :) .
"One day at the exile" and "Golden Rule" tell us about Holmes' life during his work for Moriarty , "Returing" takes us to the third season of Sherlock TV series. The detective managed to free himself from Jim's grip, but of course - our favourite villain will not leave him alone so easily.
Also, if you want to know what are doing Moriarty and Sherlock from "Game of shadows", see stories: "At the Funeral", "Loyal Colonel" or "The Journey", where Moriarty won as well. You will find videos/book covers as well.
"This'll be for you from Jim." Izzy said, while giving Sherlock a small gold box.
"Diamond cufflinks..." he said after inspecting it, without opening. "All my cuffs have buttons."
Izadora frowned, but did not comment, then she elegantly put the present among others and returned to her shopping bags.
Sherlock sighed. He should have not allowed himself to be dragged here. Helping Izadora Klein with the preparation for Christmas was a real torture. But, it were presents or his 'homework'. The task was far from ordinary. It was literary seducing Holmes to switch on the laptop. In any other situation, he would gladly took part in it, but after hearing the surname of customer, joy from the challenge quickly vanished.
He had nothing other to do, also being Moriarty's prisoner number one did not allow him for many distractions. Shelock had just ran out from ideas, when Lady Klein came into Holmes' room, declaring that the salon should be suitable decorated.
Izadora as an usual woman adored shopping, cooking, weddings, playing matchmaker, other female staff and... Christmas. She could also be called as the blackmail queen or a living database for the richest of British society. Jim used her services from time to time. Also, Moriarty prefered, when Izzy owed him some favors and allowed her for organizing a small party. Because everything had to be to her design, it was Klein, who bought all presents and reserved a huge apartment in Vienna's posh hotel.
"Oh, and this is also for you, but from Sebastian."
"Tie pin. I don't wear ties."
He glanced at ten bags around himself and , he really was desperate.
As 'what is needed' and 'what is wanted' had the same meaning in Lady Klein's mind, Sherlock presumed that after few days most of Santa's gifts will be throw away.
"You should see what I have for my tiger." she added mysteriously. "It's something similar, as your present for Jim."
Izadora and Sebastian Moran, Jim's right hand, liked to spend time with each other company. Thinking about it, only made Holmes disgust. Furthermore, she imagined that there is something more between him and his jailor. Klein tried to create a romantic atmosphere at every opportunity. Moriarty only encouraged her. Personally, Sherlock did not like the glint in Jim's eyes, when the consultant was looking at him.
"Why are you so gloomy?" Izzy asked truly surprised, as if the Jim's demand at Bart's Hospital 'go with me or your friends will die' had never happened and he could leave whenever he wanted.
"Cheer up, I'm sure that your first Christmas with me and boys will be lovely."
More upset than before, Holmes picked the next gift. To his amazement, this one was also for him. It was bigger, but as lighter as last two. At reflex, Sherlock wanted to deduce what was inside, but...
Cufflinks. Tie pin.
He had a distinct feeling that it happened before.
His mind usually did not store any trash (tv programs, date of easter holiday, John's favourite coffee, Lestrade's name (Greg or Gareth?), if Mars was closer to Earth than Mercury), it was a waste of place in his well organized brain. However, since the deal, the detective had unintentionally started collecting these moments. Holmes tried to deleted them, but somehow more useless data found quarters in his mind palace.
So that's how a deja vu feels.
He and John found Turner's 'Falls Of The Reichenbach', then they rescued a kidnapped banker.
Later, they managed to catch Peter Ricoletti - Number one on Interpol's most wanted list since 1982. And he got...
The size was similar. The weight as well.
"Finish it by yourself." Holmes practically threw the box at Izzy.
"What?! But, there is a lot to do! Food, decorations and we don't have the Christmas tree! Sherlock!"
