Every Monday, I will post a prompt. You have until the following Monday to write and reply to this post with a 100-200 word fic inspired by the prompt. All Sherlock Holmes (& adjacent) fandoms are welcome!
For an extra challenge, try to hit exactly 100 words, or write a 221B drabble.
You can reply with the full text of the drabble, or link out to another site like Ao3, Tumblr, your personal DW, etc. Feel free to post completed works to our Ao3 collection!
Fics posted to the main challenge must be SFW; you must link out if your response is NSFW. Please warn for content where appropriate.
WHAT ELSE?
Don't worry if you miss a week! You don't have to commit to this challenge and are welcome to drop in and out. You can also go back and write a late response anytime.
You may post more than one response to a single week's prompt.
If you're inspired to continue your drabbles, you're welcome to connect multiple challenge responses to each other, or expand on your fics outside of the challenge.

"We're selling it."
"Are we, Brother Mycroft?" Sherlock steeples his fingers, a sardonic smile creeping across his angular features. "I'll have no part in navigating the bureaucratic particulars. It'll be a nightmare."
He snorts. "I assumed not." There's a pause then, and his younger brother's keen gray eyes follow his hands as Mycroft takes a sip of his tea. "I also assume you have no qualms with ridding ourselves of the family burden."
Sherlock's thin fingers lace together, as if in prayer. His expression darkens. "No," he answers, voice distant. "That house dies with us."
The Holmes parents in my head are basically good people, but they are absolute unknowns, and you have me further intrigued about KAJ. Can't wait to buy his first book later next month.
Thank you!! I tend to headcanon them as "ok to mediocre" for my own personal take, but the adaptations where they're not as great are very interesting. Hope you enjoy the book! 😎

"And our legacy?"
"What legacy?"
