This is “amezaiku”, the Japanese art of beautifully sculpted lollies~ The sugar is worked similarly to blown glass, and the results are equally amazing in the hands of a skilled artist! Please visit https://www.mirainoshitenclassic.com/2017/08/a_31.html?m=1 for a look at some fearfully detailed sugar creatures, including a little cream-and-brown hedgie that just screams “John Watson”.
And now the Mystrade.
Mycroft thought Sherlock’s little joke was that his lolly was a goldfish. But the real laugh was in making Mycroft watch as Greg Lestrade sucked on the head of a bright red cock.
Sherlock also had the heat turned up ridiculously high in the flat when he called Greg over, for bonus rolled up shirtsleeves and an open collar. He knows what Mycroft likes. ;D
