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.

In the early morning, Holmes and I sat to breakfast. A rare occasion, as normally Holmes would be out or still sleeping at this time. I revelled in a domestic paradise.
"Holmes, I was just pondering - what is your favourite kind of tea?"
He looked up from his newspaper, then at the tea sitting in front of him. It was earl grey, the kind he drank most often. Despite the same going for me, I couldn't call it my favourite.
"I'll tell you his favourite," said Mrs. Hudson, entering with a smug smile. Both Holmes and I looked at her in surprise. "Whenever Mr. Holmes gets in one of his moods, I fetch him the same blend my mother used to give me. You drink it faster than any other I make for you. I don't suppose you've paid much attention to the tea you've had from me." The words were scolding, but she said them with a teasing, affectionate air.
"Well, thank you, Mrs. Hudson," said Holmes with no small degree of timidity.

She gave us a smile, and wafted out the room.
