I know I haven't updated this as much as I should have. So I'm uploading two chapters of this as a special treat.

You're welcome.

"Cooties" from Hairsrpay (2007)
This was one of the songs that they played during the credits.

Disclaimer: I do not own Sherlock.


Sherlock had never been one to believe in "cooties" in grade school. He knew that it was something made up to occupy young, naïve minds. He and Mycroft believed in real diseases.

One year, there was a particularly bad flu epidemic. The Holmes brothers had yet to receive their vaccines, and Mycroft was getting worried. Their mum said that there was nothing to worry about, but Mycroft was still anxious.

Sherlock had never been one to worry over a simple case of the flu, and so spent his recess days examining anthills. Mycroft would stand under a tree, and isolate himself.

On one particular afternoon, Mycroft had been watching a game of the tag that was getting dangerously close. He didn't notice the boy sneaking up behind him.

When the hand brushed his arm, Mycroft screamed like a girl.
