Summary
John has seen Sherlock do a lot of odd things over the years. Having a genuine conversation with a bee might be the oddest.
(Or: the one where Sherlock communicates with bees, John questions his sanity, and Mrs Hudson gets a new computer.)

Summary
“Pronoun. Go on,” he prompts.
Sherlock takes a deep breath and John braces himself for the expected verbal onslaught to come, complete with derision, deconstruction of his argument and utter disregard for John’s feelings as usual.
And then Sherlock stops.
Just stops.

Summary
The stories say that dragons were once the defenders of good and peacekeepers of the skies. They say that the people of Beron and the people of Pharo had a bond, a link that allowed these incredible creatures to move among humans, and that for generations, children were fostered between families where they might find these partners. But times had changed. For centuries now there had been no dragons and they had become the stuff of myth. Dragons were stories for winter nights; wild and wise, fierce and free, something from another age.
So when a young Pharon asks to be hosted by a Berond family, some are wary. These are strange days and rumours abound. But John Watson's family have a long tradition of respect and old-fashioned pride in the tales that say that their family once produced some of the strongest partnerships from the legends.
Sherlock Holmes has heard these tales and his research has brought him here to see if there is any truth in them. Because the east wind is coming.
And it has wings.

Sherlock should really learn NOT to tune John out when he's talking. He might just be missing something important.

Summary
The night before they travel to Dorset to spend Christmas with Sherlock's parents and John's wife, 221 Baker Street is peaceful with the smell of baking, flickering candles and presents under the tree. But Father Christmas can't be relied upon to bring the boys their heart's desires. Just as well Mrs Hudson - who is NOT a fairy godmother OR their housekeeper, thank you very much - is so good at her job.
