Happy Holidays from the Sawyer-Collins-Clemmons household!

[queer-theory.livejournal.com]

Hello everyone. I'm Dr. David Sawyer and this is my fiance, Bryan Collins, who would probably kill me if I didn't mention his television show, "Sing," which you should all definitely watch. It airs... sometime. On a channel. I should know those things.



Contrary to what the picture above suggests, we live in sunny Los Angeles, and you are ALL invited to our house for a Holiday party! Bryan has everything set up - the food is catered, the drinks are free, and everyone is welcome.

There are just a few house rules.

1. Be careful of the turkeys in the backyard. They do bite.

2. This is the bed I share with my fiance:



Please DO NOT have sex in or on or NEAR it. There's a guest house with multiple guest rooms for that.

(If you're interested in seeing more of the house, here are some pictures.)

And that's all there is to it. If you have any questions, Shania or I will be happy to answer them. If you're interested in seeing more of Los Angeles and less of our party (or if you're one of those people who isn't comfortable going to a party being hosted by strangers), there will be a thread for Shania to give you touristy advice.

This party will run for the entire span of the week, though it's all really in one night. We might post some activities day to day for people who enjoy a bit of direction, but this is mostly a place for everyone to come together and mingle. Get to know people you've never met, enjoy your friends and family. Eat, drink, and be merry... and please don't trash my house!




PARTY'S OVER!

Linger a bit if you like, but the festivities are done.

David and Shania are: cleaning up the mess. Party's over, folks.

Which is why I find Molly so interesting. She has insights into him that seem to come from nowhere at all.

She does, doesn't she?

She was quite infatuated with him though.

((Part of me wants to give Mycroft a lightbulb moment, because he'll eventually figure it out on his own anyways, but I don't know if I want to do it this soon.))

Yes. *shifts uncomfortably at the memory of a certain Christmas dinner party*

If it hadn't have been then, he would have found another completely inappropriate time to tell you.

~Mycroft

[queer-theory.livejournal.com]

What do you mean?

You were thinking about the Christmas party. If Sherlock hadn't said what he did about your ex-wife then, he would have picked another time that would have been equally inappropriate.

~Mycroft

[queer-theory.livejournal.com]

I was thinking about what he said to Molly, or have you not heard about that?

- Lestrade

[csichick-2.livejournal.com]

That somehow escaped my knowledge, though things did seem awkward in the morgue later that night.

~Mycroft

[queer-theory.livejournal.com]

She brought him a nicely wrapped gift and dressed up. He deduced, in front of everyone, that she was visiting someone special, someone she perhaps loved, after the party.

- Lestrade

[csichick-2.livejournal.com]

How badly did he humiliate her before he figured out the gift was for him?

~Mycroft

[queer-theory.livejournal.com]

It was quite awful, really. Though he very uncharacteristically kissed her on the cheek and thanked her.

- Lestrade

[csichick-2.livejournal.com]

I think uncharacterstic is an understatement.

I miss him.

~Mycroft

[queer-theory.livejournal.com]

*nods, rubbing his back gently*

I know you do.

- Lestrade

[csichick-2.livejournal.com]

Last year was the first time we'd even spoken to each other on Christmas in years. And that was about a dead body.

*blinks back tears, not wanting to cry*

~Mycroft

[queer-theory.livejournal.com]

*pulls him into a close hug*

Perhaps we should check out the guest house. Would a bit of alone time help?

- Lestrade

[csichick-2.livejournal.com]

I think that's a good idea. Alone time certainly won't hurt anyway.

~Mycroft

[queer-theory.livejournal.com]

John can't take a swing at you if he doesn't know where you've run off to.

- Lestrade

[csichick-2.livejournal.com]

Very true.

*spots John and Molly*

Though he seems to be a bit preoccupied with Miss Hooper at the moment.

~Mycroft

[queer-theory.livejournal.com]

*looks around the corner and notices them too*

Is she crying?

- Lestrade

[csichick-2.livejournal.com]

They both appear to be inebriated as well.

~Mycroft

[queer-theory.livejournal.com]

She looks quite agitated. *watches John pull her into a hug*

Sherlock will always haunt us, won't he?

- Lestrade

[csichick-2.livejournal.com]

I do believe he will.

*takes a deep breath*

Perhaps we can go to the guest house now.

~Mycroft

[queer-theory.livejournal.com]

Of course. I'm sorry. *takes his hand*

- Lestrade

[csichick-2.livejournal.com]

I'm the one that should apologize. For being an emotional mess.

~Mycroft

[queer-theory.livejournal.com]

Don't ever apologize for that. Not to me, Mycroft.

*kisses him again, wishing he knew how to make him feel better*
