Author's summary: Fill for this prompt (spoilers for fic). Basically, only the first hostage in TGG happened, because Sherlock called Jim and then they decided it would be more fun to keep each other entertained. Jim starts hanging out at the flat, and begins to think John is pretty interesting. Sherlock and Jim begin competing over John and trying to ruin one another's attempts to woo him.

Reccer's comments: Oh, what to say about this fic! It's a bit cracky, and a bit OOC, and doesn't really take itself that seriously, but it'll make you smile. And really, who doesn't want to read a fic with Jim and Sherlock as constantly bickering best-frenemies? Featuring a guest appearance by Irene Adler, Lestrade in the corner all "GAIZ!.. WAT.", and best of all a happy ending for everyone!

Excerpt: He needed to come up with a complicated crime that he could use to completely humiliate the detective and impress John. No murders then. Pity, Jim had a flair for those. Elaborate embezzlement scheme? Counterfeiting, maybe?

John glanced back and forth between the two consultants. "Have you two had a row?"

Sherlock shot him an icy glare. "I do not," he said seriously, "have 'rows'." He sniffed, insulted by the very idea.

"Fine, started a feud or whatever you want to call it."
