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.

"The green tea blend," says Sholmes, topping up Iris' cup, "also contains dried cherry blossom, according to your father. What do you think?"
Iris, age eight, wraps her small hands around the teacup. Steam billows off the surface of the liquid; she wrinkles her nose as hot air and condensation wafts into her face. She blows the tea cool before taking another careful sip. Rich earthy green, subtle-sweet flower: the flavors roll over her tongue, then warm her through.
"Well," she grins, humming her approval, "I think it's simply wonderful!" But a moment later, her face falls. The girl stares down into her cup, pensive: Sholmes watches her nervously, his own smile threatening to fade.
"Hurley?" She looks up at Sholmes at last. "Could we send him one of my blends?"

"Real English tea!" chirps Susato, fourteen-- reaching across the table, she practically snatches her steaming, fragrant cup from her father's hands.
"Careful, you'll burn yourself," Mikotoba laughs.
"However did you get it?"
The man scratches at his mustache as Susato takes a first tentative sip of herbal tea. "It came with our latest Randst," he decides upon. "The friend who sends them included the tea as a gift."
She beams. "It's delicious! Please, pass along my compliments!"
---
"She loved the tea," his next coded letter ends. "Send Iris our best."
