Summary
Sherlock glances at himself, the other self, bloody-nosed and still standing against the wall, looking at James like —
"I was there. I don't need to study what I did."
"Don't you?" James says, and Sherlock glares at him. This false James steps away, out of sight, ghosting around behind him until he can murmur in Sherlock's other ear: "What is it that you want, Sherlock?"

Summary
James pressed one hand to his chest and affected a little bow. “You flatter me.”
Sherlock shifted his chair an inch or two closer to James’, the little tart. His eyes were intent, and hungry. When there was something he wanted, he would pursue it until he’d chased it down, and then, once he had it in his teeth, he would be gone again. There was no point getting upset about it; he didn’t do it on purpose. It was simply the way the glittering, ticking machinery of the Holmeses was made.
“I could do more,” he said, quietly, “than flatter you.”
It was the sort of thing he said when he was only playing, but his gaze was steady.
“Careful, now,” murmured James. They weren’t the only people in the bar. “You wouldn’t want me to get the wrong idea, would you?”
Sherlock Holmes needs a favour.

Summary
Catching them is just one more rug pulled out from underneath him. Perhaps one day, nothing will surprise Sherlock anymore. Recently, so much that he has trusted to be true, what he had thought to be concrete facts of his life, had suddenly crumpled. His sensitive mother needs medication and constant close watch: false. His father is an upright scientist who loves his family above all: false. His sister Beatrice is dead: false.
Now, that undead sister is feeling up his best mate as they drink each other down like the first drink after a drought.
