Reccer's comments: I can't believe that this fic has yet to be recced! But I checked the spreadsheet and the Delicious account for good measure, and nothing appeared. (It also has a lovely podfic, but I can't find the link. Anyone?)

Sherlock takes John home for Christmas. Sherlock's family is lovely and brilliant and...seem to have rather the wrong idea about John's relationship with John. Or do they?

Seriously. I adore this fic. Sherlock's family isn't what you'd expect, but they are perfect. The characterizations of our boys are spot on (IMNSHO). ...And I don't think I'm spoiling you all to terribly by telling you it has a happy ending. It's My favorite Sherlock and John at Christmas fic.

What are you waiting for?

Every twenty-three days, Mycroft managed to procure confirmation that he was alive and well; sometimes the contact was as simple as a quick phone call during a lunch hour, and sometimes the CCTV cameras were particularly attuned to him. He knew quite well that Mycroft had a schedule worked out to allow him to keep tabs on all of the cousins, their partners, their parents, and their progeny. He was willing to bet that Sherlock got a daily dose...
