Thank you! Yeah, I do like the portrayal of Lestrade as a competent detective in his own right, although the kind of cases he usually solves are the tedious, normal kind resolved through ordinary hard work (as opposed to brilliance). I didn't want to get too tangled up in Catholic vs CoE vs other church terms, so I went poetic with 'kneeling nook.'

I wanted a 'stone to bread' reference, but I couldn't make it work, so I went with candle. Definitely Mouselet reference and the fact I went to a Eucharistic Adoration on Thursday at a church I'd never been to before and there were A LOT of candles (even for us) and A LOT of incense, which I adore and having been thinking about doing something with your old friends the nuns Sister Sherlock and Sister John.

The term 'best sausages' comes from one of Hobbit's CTM fics I looked at for her. It's not an American term, but I liked it. Yeah, when you're doing Bible references, there is no such thing as too much metaphor or word-play, is there? I have an angsty onem in mind for the Garden of Gethsemane, but I don't want to end the month on angst, so I'll see if I can think of another to round out the month on a funny/light/perhaps smuttish note.
