Fics like The Chinese Finger Trap

Sherlock, in his boredom, has started shooting holes in the wall again. Mrs. Hudson and John have had quite enough of it, so John thinks of a way to keep his genius flatmate occupied. And then his genius flatmate decides to start playing dirty. “If you can get your fingers out of the traps - the proper way, without cheating - I will let you do one experiment I normally wouldn’t,” he explains further, holding his left first finger up to iterate just one. Sherlock’s eyes light up briefly before narrowing, “And if I cannot? What do you get?” John thinks for a moment before a sly smirk appears on his face, “I get free reign - once - to clean the kitchen. Including the table and fridge.” If anyone had told John before he met Sherlock that, a few years down the line, he’d be assigning himself cleaning as a bet winner, he would have thought they were crazy. Oh, how things change when you live with a madman. “No, you’ll ruin my experiments!” Sherlock shouts in outrage. John nods, “Probably,” he agrees remorselessly. Sherlock’s mouth puckers in indignation before he grits out a “Fine,” through his teeth and sets back to work.
