Canon Story: The Engineer’s Thumb
Title: Over Breakfast
Author: Mafief
Rating: G
Warnings: Implied drug use
Author’s Notes: He received us in his quietly genial fashion, ordered fresh rashers and eggs, and joined us in a hearty meal.

I covertly search for fresh evidence of his usage and spot Holmes mindlessly scratching his forearm. He catches me looking and adjusts his dressing-gown sleeve. We make eye contact and I raise an eyebrow. He dismisses my concern before focusing on a rasher. I purse my lips, drop my gaze, and replay the rest of tired exchange in my mind.

Aw. Yeah, that sucks, but very plausible.

Oh, it totally sucks and they probably had that exchange happen multiple times.
