A series of conversations between Lestrade, Sherlock and John as they compare themselves and those around them to characters from other works of fiction. With occasional appearance from other characters. The first line is always by Lestrade.

I do not own any of the characters of BBC Sherlock, nor any of the literal works mentioned in these stories.

For Peaceful Defender, who first suggested the idea and supplied the idea for Anderon's costume and the reason for it! Also thanks to Ennui Enigma for pushing me to finish it! Also a big thank you to my dear sister for helpin me with the rest of the costumes, you're the best! ;)

"So, Sherlock, what are you going to wear for the Halloween costume party?"

"For the what? I thought you were here for another one of your "drugs busts" Lestrade!"

"Have you nicked any evidence recently?"

"…"

"You know what, don't answer that, I don't want to know."

"So you are all here on a social call? Why?" Sherlock looked puzzled

"Would you believe it that we missed you?" Lestrade ventured.

"No!"

"Would you believe it that we're here to ask you about your Halloween costume?"

"No!"

"We're here to borrow your skull for the decorations freak!" Sally finally shot.

"Of course, and that term of endearment immensely helps with my compliance! Put it down Anderson, I haven't given permission for you to take it!"

"Nice going Sargent!" Lestrade muttered.

"Can we borrow the skull for tonight please?" Sally tried again.

"John, they want to take away Yorik for a sleep over, is it alright with you?"

"Why sure, since you asked so nicely Sally. Let me go and pack his overnight bag!" then John snorted. "By the way, what are you planning to wear for the party Greg?"

"Judge Dredd."

"Nah, it doesn't fit your character, you're not stuck up enough!"

"Do you have any suggestions John?"

"I don't know… some authoritative character with a wry sense of humor. Let me check the web, see if I can come up with something."

"Sure, take your time."

"Aha, got it! How about J from Men in Black?"

"J? Nah, I prefer K, he's got all the good stuff."

"There you go!"

"Hey fr-Sherlock, how about you go as a vampire, you fit the profile well!"

"How about you go as the wicked witch of the west in the wizard of Oz?"

"Okay kids, break it off." Lestrade interjected.

"Sherlock, you have to go and sue for royalties!" John exclaimed with mock panic. He then turned his laptop toward Sherlock "The costume designers of "Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter" ripped of your look!"

Greg leaned in to look at the movie poster on the computer screen. "Great, you don't even have to dress up; you can come as you are!"

"And it fits your character so well, running around with weird crowds." Anderson shot.

John briefly glared at him, and then smirked. "You know Anderson, you'd make a great zombie…"

"Yes, and it fits you so well, since zombies seek brains for nourishment as they lack them, just like you!"

"…"

Lestrade sighed "You had it coming Anderson."

John turned and looked at Sally.

"Bride of Frankenstein." John raised his eyebrows, Sally shrugged "All I need is a white dress and I don't even need to do my hair, I'll let it go wild."

"Good choice!" John nodded, impressed.

"So what about you John?" Lestrade asked.

"Um, I haven't decided yet…"

"Jack from Twilight" Sally suggested

"No way!"

"Robin Hood" Greg supplied.

"I won't be caught dead in tights!"

"Robocop!" said Anderson

John slapped his forehead. "I'll Just throw a sheet over my head and go as a ghost!"

"NO!" everyone shouted at once.

"Harry Potter"

"Obi-wan Kenobi

"Indiana Jones."

"Wait, that's not half bad!" John said with a raised hand.

"Sure, and it fits you too, the traveling adventurer who won't give up on his quest." Sherlock added.

"And the costume is decent and easy to put together, do you happen to have-"

"I've got a whip right next to my riding crop!"

"It's settled then!" John said with a smile.

Everyone punched the air in triumph "Cheers!"
