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.
This chapter has two parts, because Mycroft refused to stay out of it!
For Ennui Enigma who requested the Avengers, hope you like it!
"So, Sherlock, how did you like the Avengers movie?"
"What's that?"
"The Movie we watched on Saturday night. You even liked some of the characters' interactions."
"Did he now? Who would you compare him to John?"
"Tony Stark!"
"John, really! I'm not a billionaire, nor a philanthropist, and I am most certainly not a play-boy!"
"Take it easy Sherlock, none of the analogies we make are hundred percent accurate, they're just the ones that fit the best." Lestrade said soothingly.
"Exactly, because you have a gigantic ego, you do crazy experiments in the flat that lead to the unfortunate demise of our property, and you're definitely a genius."
"Oh, well, since you put it that way…" Sherlock said with a hint of a smile.
"So who's John? Captain America?"
"Meh…" John and Sherlock said simultaneously.
"He's too much of a goody two shoes for my taste."
"Plus, he's too American, he wouldn't fit John's character at all."
"How about Hawkeye?" Lestrade hazarded.
"Meh…" John and Sherlock said again.
"He's a great shot and all…"
"That's why I suggested him, you're the best shot I've ever seen!"
"He's more of a freelancer than military, plus he doesn't have John's unwavering loyalty."
"You have someone in mind Sherlock, spill!" Lestrade said eagerly.
"Dr. Banner."
"The Hulk?! But John is such a nice and calm person, why would you compare him to the Hulk of all the people? Good to see you're not offended John. Why are you giggling?"
"Because he knows how accurate of an analogy I've made. Like Dr. Banner he is mild mannered and tolerant, with an unfaltering sense of helping those in need. But when he is enraged, he completely loses control."
"I don't believe you."
"Let's just say that gash on my face from the Adler case was not put there by her."
"You started it! Not to mention, you asked for it!"
"What else has he done?"
"Thrown the Gollum to a wall in our second encounter, almost strangled Moriarty, broke a few of our more violent culprits bones, stabbed the Cluedo board to the wall, not to mention adding bullet holes to the circle around the yellow smiley face in the living room. And that's only the top five most memorable outbursts he has had!"
"Okay then …"
"Come on General Fury, what's the case? Tony here is getting unmanageable!"
"Ha! As if I'd dare to be unmanageable while living with the Hulk for a flat mate!"
-John thinks too highly of you, you're more like Loki, the mischievous trouble maker who has a talent for wreaking havoc. MH
-And pray tell who are you then brother dear? SH
-Thor, obviously. MH
-Ha, I would have agreed with it if you could have been bothered to get off of you bum more often! SH
-Well I'm the one who gets you out of trouble! MH
-So if you're Thor and I'm Loki, does this mean I'm adopted? SH
-OK Mycroft, that's enough, you're irritating him. JW
-Sherlock, stop playing that funeral dirge! JW
-You're not adopted, stop being melodramatic! MH
-I'll have to hear it from Mommy herself. SH
-You wouldn't dare! MH
-And you told me to act like a grown up! You two are acting like a couple of preteen kids! JW
-If you're not my real brother then why do you keep sticking your nose in my business? SH
-You'd better apologize Mycroft, he's now playing the theme song for Schiendler's List ! JW
-You're not my mother John! MH
-Don't make me come down there! JW
-Apologies brother, as you so eloquently put it, it was a stupid analogy from the very beginning. MH
-Of course it was! You're more Oden than Thor. SH
