Good thing we still exist, then.

[acutereasoner]

I suppose I should be flattered to know my name will likely one day feature in an clickbait article alongside the likes of Stanley Weyman and John Mytton.

"10 Intimate Secrets You Didn't Know About Sherlock Holmes"

To be fair, I'd probably be offered to write that...

[acutereasoner]

I defy anyone to name ten intimate facts about me, secret or otherwise.

[docwithablog]

I couldn't even say when's your birthday, could I?

[acutereasoner]

I'm certain you could find out through a bit of rudimentary detective work.

Unless of course Mycroft has classified all my personal records for both practical and misguidedly sentimental reasons, which is a distinct possibility.

[docwithablog]

I'm not going to dig through your personal records to find out when to say happy birthday, seriously. Maybe I'll just start picking random days and throw surprise parties for you in the middle of cases.

[acutereasoner]

Or you could subscribe to the popular narrative that I was never born; rather, I manifested from the ether fully-formed, like Athena from her father's brow.

[docwithablog]

Did Mycroft manifest from thin air, too? Like a Hercules transport plane.

[acutereasoner]

I'm rather certain Mycroft has existed since the dawn of creation and only feigns mortality in order to amuse himself.

[docwithablog]

Would explain so many things.

By the way, very typically you to pick Athena as the model for your creation myth, Sherlock.

[acutereasoner]

Well I would hardly suggest Aphrodite's.

[docwithablog]

No, that would be a stretch.
