God rest you, Dr. Watson

Thank you, dear unknown author, for this feel-good-and-warm-and-all-fuzzy-inside-our-bellies first story this year. Sherlock and John, against the ugly world outside, thisis what it's all about. With a little help from a surprising soft Mycroft, well, but he's always around when needed, isn't he?
Both John and Sherlock seemed in character for me, Sherlock being not amused that a minority like a sprained ankle could keep anyone from rushing to a crime scene. That resulting in one of the well-known and much-loved little domestics between the boys. But with a warm and hopeful ending, Sherlock being tender and a bit caring, well, in a Sherlock-way.
Now I need some tea as well, and some buiscuits and decorate a few more light-chains...

What a funny little story, thank you Santa!

Shortly after I'd sent my prompt to Schmiezi, I realised how impossible it was. I basically just included a few words that made me think of Christmas and winter and huskies are cool. So well done for including all the elements, every time a new one appeared made me giggle, especially the dog. 

I love the absurdity  of Mycroft taking John to the hospital and even carrying his bags. Surely Mycroft must have given Sherlock a look like:  never talk about this ever again. 

And Sherlock finding the Siberian Husky case important made me laugh. Reminded me of my schoolteachers who'd always found the subject they taught the most important thing ever. And then he's cross because John totally choose to hurt himself just as he had a funny case. So in character. 

Now I'm kinda curious about the case. Luckily it wasn't a very difficult one, solved in an afternoon. 

Thank you Santa for this lovely start. 
 

God Rest You, Dr. Watson

There were several aspects of this cute little story I liked
- Mycroft as the caring big brother who has his watchful eye on Sherlock & John though the idea of the British Government carrying Shopping bags was a bit disturbing
- Sherlock's reaction to John's injury, as if John did it on purpose just to annoy him
- Sherlock taking a case of a lost dog (of course I would help here)
- the general domestic athmosphere, very fitting for a Christmas story and, like Schmiezi already mentioned, very much missed in S3

Thank you unkown author for this nice start and kudos for the way you included the words giving in the prompt.

God rest you, Dr. Watson:

I loved the warm christmas atmosphere, which put me in a good mood :-)
I like how Mycroft is caring in his actions, and not as distanced as usual. Him carrying shopping bags made me laugh :-)
I like how John kind of confesses a love for dogs, and how he offers to help Sherlock even if he cannot run around with him. And Sherlock shows again how much he relies on John coming with him during cases - but I also love how he acts grown-up and goes for the case alone instead of making a big argument (a small one is always nice to have, I confess) 
the idea of a cozy night in at a decorated Baker Street is always welcome :-)  could imagine it very well, hope Sherlock will make tasty tea for John as often as he wants one.
The descriptions gave me a great feeling of christmas vibes :-)
lovely little story

(I think everybody knows at this point what story I'm talking about but anyway..)
 

Stick to it though. The thing is at the beginning posting the fic and reading and commenting is all in a nice order. As the days in december go by it might happen though that you read more than one fic a day, for example on a weekend, and then write a pile of comments a couple of days later.
Thus everybody knows which fic you comment on anyway.
 

Well said.

BTW, let me remind you that there will be no regular fic tomorrow. BUT someone was so nice to produced a little something just for fun to fill the gap.

Oh gawd, tunalock....
I usually have trouble with this because, you know....pictures in my head, but I'm so glad I gave that a go. I demand a sequel!
I always have a weak spot for variations on their first meeting, their instant bonding, the moving in together, the introduction of the side characters that I love so much...
And how real everything feels in the deep world of the seven oceans. And how funny, how funny and neatly the world of fish (and dolphins...) was connected to each character. Also the physiognomy of the fish was chosen to its best, I want to see a long and slender tunalock and a dolphin John sooo badly now!
Kudos, dear secret santa!
 

Tunalock

I had a WTF moment when I started reading but then I realised that it's super funny. And of course Mycroft would be an octopus. 

Just wondering, what species was Moriarty? I didn't catch that but maybe I read over it. I imagined a shark. 

Super original, how does one come up with the idea to transpose the characters to fish in the see? Or is Tunalock a 'thing'? I don't know but it's such a funny idea!

@Silver, tunalock is a "thing" in a couple of johnlock fanfics. You can imagine where it goes from here.....
Not for me usually TBH.

What a funny tuna surprise! Very cute rendering of Sherlock. Thank you, Secret Santa.
