Sherlock and Joan decide to institute a new tradition -- a weekly dinner, or a salon if you will, Friday nights. Everyone - including, nominally, 'Everyone' -- invited. All colleagues, friends, Irregulars, contacts, relatives, sponsors, sponsees, lovers, former lovers, psycho nemeses, right down to Clyde the tortoise. Everyone who knows about it has a standing invitation, attendance welcome but not compulsory. If you don't know about it then you're not welcome.
To strengthen the bonds of their found family, to enable easy and relaxed collaboration on current cases and hashing over old and unsolved ones. It's a beautiful idea, they both look forward to it.
They don't expect someone on their list of trusted people to prove to be a murderer.
They don't expect one to turn up as a corpse.
Notes:
Because I really wanted this for the Elementary found family, especially for Sherlock and Mycroft, and Sherlock's 'found' brothers -- Marcus, Alfredo, Gregson etc.
