Il était là, espérant trouver une âme charitable pour qu'il puisse faire son office : Offrir un chocolat par jour pendant vingt-quatre jours pour attendre Noël. Un certain John Watson le sauva en le glissant dans son panier de courses. Le Calendrier fut heureux. John, lui, ignorait qu'il trouverait bien plus que de simples chocolats dans ce calendrier.

Still, John finds himself inexorably drawn to Sherlock.

Sherlock and Molly are on a case (sort of). In the middle of nowhere (definitely). And there's only one bed in their snowy, romantic Scottish safe house (gasp!) How on Earth will they manage, hmm? Troperific fun for the festive season... Rating will change.

Mycroft is the master of deception. He can fool anyone, including Sherlock. So why can John see right through him?
