The Blue Carbuncle: An Irregular Holiday

Canon tale: BLUE
Author: mundungus42
Rating: General
Warnings: Damnable sentiment.
A/N: Inspired by optional prompt 1: BLUE is set right after Christmas. How did our boys spend their holiday?


Mrs. Hudson's pudding was met with eyes like saucers, though laughter rang through the room when Cooper found the sixpence. Miss Long found the wishbone, her brother the thimble, and Master Turner the anchor.

When they were warm, full, and wrapped in new coats, Holmes placed a bag in the eldest's hand.

“Happy Christmas, Wiggins.”

“You too, sir.”

Oh squee! Thank you so much for your kind words! And thank you for the welcome- I've been following the comm for months, but yes, this is my first attempt at a 60-fic. I came so close during the Red-Headed League (another favorite, as I'm married to someone with a proper head of red hair), but the holiday weekend gave me time to contemplate what I love about the BLUE, and the feeling of goodwill that runs throughout is palpable, so I had to add a bit of cheer to Holmes's holiday. Thanks again for the warm welcome! I will definitely be posting when real life acquiesces!
