(Based on this segment from The Adventure of Black Peter)
The Return of Sherlock Holmes - Arthur Conan Doyle
The first positive sign which he gave me of the direction which his investigation was taking was an extraordinary one. He had gone out before breakfast, and I had sat down to mine when he strode into the room, his hat upon his head and a huge barbed-headed spear tucked like an umbrella under his arm.
“Good gracious, Holmes!” I cried. “You don’t mean to say that you have been walking about London with that thing?”
“I drove to the butcher’s and back.”
“The butcher’s?”
“And I return with an excellent appetite. There can be no question, my dear Watson, of the value of exercise before breakfast. But I am prepared to bet that you will not guess the form that my exercise has taken.”
“I will not attempt it.”
He chuckled as he poured out the coffee.
“If you could have looked into Allardyce’s back shop, you would have seen a dead pig swung from a hook in the ceiling, and a gentleman in his shirt sleeves furiously stabbing at it with this weapon. I was that energetic person, and I have satisfied myself that by no exertion of my strength can I transfix the pig with a single blow. Perhaps you would care to try?”
“Not for worlds. But why were you doing this?”
“Because it seemed to me to have an indirect bearing upon the mystery of Woodman’s Lee. Ah, Hopkins, I got your wire last night, and I have been expecting you. Come and join us.”

Summary:
There were a lot of things Jason tended to forget to tell his family. Some of it was intentional, like the time he poisoned a teacher with cyanide in his energy drink. Some of it was on accident, like the time he didn’t bring up the fact he could puke on command until he did it to get him and Dick out of a confrontation while undercover.
Forgetting to mention the All-Blades, however, was a total accident. Really, it was.
“So they can only be summoned in the presence of evil?”
“Yeah.”
“So what was the evil in the kitchen? Do we need to consult the Justice League?”
“B,” Jason said gravely as he placed a hand on his adoptive father’s shoulder. “There is no greater evil than unsliced bread."

cw: drinking
-
"Where are you two taking us?" Sirius asked breathlessly from a few paces back. "I don't think I've ever even been to this part of Diagon Alley."
"Be patient, mon frere, and you'll find out soon," James answered. He and Peter had been planning this night for weeks, and James would not have it ruined because of some whining.
"If we don't get there soon, I'm going home," Remus declared, and James didn't doubt for a second that he was lying. This outing was seriously cutting into their sitting around being sappy time.
But James did understand where he was coming from. As a gay couple involving a halfblood werewolf and a disowned pureblood, there weren't many places they could be open with each other, and the middle of a busy street in wizard London wasn't one of them. Currently, Remus and Sirius were walking side by side, hands carefully not touching but still in reach of the other's. It wasn't an experience James could ever fully understand in his relationship with Lily, but he could damn well make it easier for them.
Which was how the four marauders found themselves in front of a rather nondescript door tucked into the far side of Diagon Alley.
A little flap opened at eye level, and a pair of dark brown eyes looked out. "Password," they demanded.
"Oscar Wilde," James said.
Without another word, the door swung open, and they filed in, Remus and Sirius both taking a skeptical look around before stepping over the threshold.
"Follow me, please," a rather short person with a pink pixie cut and a name tag reading Venus said.
"James, where the hell are we?" Sirius asked, pulling his leather jacket tighter against the chilly tunnel.
James just shushed him.
Venus led the group through a dark tunnel to another door, this one painted in a bright rainbow.
Remus made a noise of understanding, and Sirius gasped. "Is this what I think it is?" he said excitedly.
James and Peter shared a smile. "Maybe."
Sirius squealed and grabbed Remus' hand tightly. "Open the door, please!"
Venus took out their wand and whispered an incantation James didn't quite catch, and the brightly colored door fell open, revealing a large room thronging with people of every color of the rainbow, drag queens, queer teens, and everything in between. To the right, a man in a white tank top and jeans was snogging someone with a truly brilliant green mohawk.
Sirius gave a shriek of, "Re!" before dragging his boyfriend out onto the dance floor, but not before Remus turned back to James and mouthed thank you.
"That's my favorite part of the job," Venus said once Peter had started towards the bar.
"Yeah?" James prompted.
They nodded. "Never gets old." Then, they turned to go back the way they'd came, closing the rainbow door behind them, and James went to join Peter at the bar.
"Hey, guess what I'm drinking," Peter said, grinning.
James looked at the clear liquid in the glass topped with a little pink umbrella. "Vodka?"
"A vodka dyke," he giggled. He peered out onto the dance floor and snorted. "Looks like they're having fun."
James followed his eyes to where Remus and Sirius were already grinding on each other. "Looks like." He smiled. "I'm really glad we could do this."
Peter nodded. "Me, too." He took another sip of his drink. "What's this place called, again?"
James grinned; that was the best part. "The Rainbow Adventure."
