Canon story: The Red-headed League
Title: Shared Mirth
Author: impulsereader
A/N: Born of this moment from the story: Holmes pulled me abruptly into the room and closed the door behind me. because it so perfectly leads to the lads’ shared laughter.

*****

The case and the client were nearly too fascinating, too entertaining, to be true. Holmes was just beginning to doubt his own senses when Watson had the goodness to pop in and provide the opportunity for consultation with a trusted source.

His attention split, he kept a merry eye on the good doctor as the tale grew steadily more ridiculous.

Definitely the sort of tale you would wish to share with a friend:)

Well put:-)

I completely imagine Holmes (Brett) dramatically blocking the door with his body after he's pulled Watson inside. It was an irresistible moment to expand upon.

It's a good thing to have both a witness/proof one's not hallucinating, as well as someone to share a laugh with. Well done, doctor! ;)

Absolutely:-)

His timing really was perfect. :-) A shared laugh with a friend is lovely.

Every time someone reminds me of this scene it makes me smile once more :-)

It's such a great scene. I love when they laugh together.

I adore this moment too. It's just too deliciously ridiculous. Holmes HAS to have Watson hear this too, just to see the look on his face. Delightful. :)

It's such a visual moment, I can really see it happening in my head. I love when that happens. :-)
