“They were living together only a few weeks before Sherlock noticed it. Everything about John screamed practical and straightforward except for this. If the detective hadn’t known better he would have said John was superstitious. It was little things at first, like nodding at magpies whenever he saw them or only chatting up women on Tuesdays. But that wasn’t quite right. If these peculiarities were superstitions, they were ones he had never come across before. Finally, Sherlock chalked it up to an atypical symptom of his flatmate’s PTSD and left it at that. He would have never thought of it again until Autumn stole across the city and John started acting, well… stranger.”

This Samhain fic by @bronzedviolets is absolutely brilliant!

Thanks! You are too kind!

[alexxphoenix42]

Hello, you lovely, lovely human!! Thank you so much for all that you do in this fandom. It's so, so appreciated! ❤ I have a quick question: do you know a fic where John is a fairy dog and Sherlock finds out when John saves him from a murderer while on a case? They go home afterwards and Sherlock agrees to tie his life to John's so that they can spend the rest of their days together. Does that sound familiar at all?

Wow, nonny that sounds amazing. Sadly I don’t know this fic at all. Let me ask the clever folks in the fandom. Anyone got a good idea for this???

[bronzedviolets]

This is mine! The Shadows that Define our Every Sunny Day

[alexxphoenix42]

I'm feeling very sad. Can you suggest some fics that make you feel happy? Maybe they'll make me happy, too.

Oh so sorry to hear that friend. Hugs to you & here’s some upbeat Johnlock fics I’ve read fairly recently …

Happy Johnlock

 The Newlywed Game: JohnlockEdition by patternofdefiance, 9 k, explicit. Utterly adorable bit offluff. John and Sherlock go on a Newlywed Game show for a case so Sherlock canstudy the host. The questions are adorable, the sex scene after is sweetnesspersonified. Well written, and very cute.

Taste by a_candle_for_sherlock, 500words, gen. John is dressing differently, letting himself branch out more thesedays.

Ten Years bytoyhto, 28 k, mature. A friend tells Rosie Watson that her parents aren’ttogether for real, because they don’t kiss. But we do, John says. (Pretendrelationship for others.) Author isn’t a native English speaker, and some ofthe grammar is off, but the story is well worth pushing through!

Bread and Wine and Curry Once aWeek by cwb, 8 k. explicit.  Johnis trying to tease out Sherlock’s romantic life when his flatmate admits tobeing attracted to someone. John wants to help. He suggests Sherlock write thisperson a letter, ask them out, etc. and then wishes he hadn’t given suchhelpful advice. Imagine his surprise when he finds a letter addressed to him inthe flat. (Locked to AO3.)

The Chauffeur and The Consultant by eragon19, 6 k, mature.Invalided home from Afghanistan, John Watson takes a job as a chauffeur withStamford’s Limo Service to make ends meet.  The work is mundane, with hisclients usually ignoring him for the most part, until he drives his firstrun-away-groom; Sherlock Holmes.

Where the Grass Is Greener by chemma66, 8 k, explicit. Sherlock indulges in an herbal soother ofhis own for a case. John catches him in the act, and joins in. Dancing,munchies, and sexy times soon follow.

Alternative Facts bySwissMiss, 10 k, explicit. It was so nice to see they’d finally got thingssorted. After all they’d been through, they deserved to be happy. (Or: Fivetimes people imagined what John and Sherlock get up to in the bedroom, and onetime we see what they really get up to.)

The Harbour Becomes the Sea byscullyseviltwin, 3 k, explicit. Porn with feels. John and Sherlock’s firsttime. John sails right past his sexual identity crisis and into Sherlock.Almost poetry. LOVELY!

Barter Systembybrbsoulnomming, 6 k, explicit.  Prompt:I’d love something about Sherlock & John’s clothing barter system in thisverse! Bring on the “Sherlock wearing John’s sweaters” fics! Or,Sherlock and John form a bartering system. Well, Sherlock does, anyway.

Teatime and other GastronomicMoments by fresne, 4 k, explicit. Though he hides it, Sherlock is asensual creature. John discovers that Mr. It’s-All-Transport had a sweet tooth

The Mole byChrisCalledMeSweetie, 18 k, teen. Ten strangers must work as a team to winmoney on a reality TV show hosted by Mycroft Holmes. The twist? One of them isa mole, hired by the producers to sabotage the game. Such good fun!

Colour Me In by QuinnAnderson,2 k, mature. There are many different ways to say “I love you.”Sherlock can’t seem to find the right one.

What He’s Like bymagikspell, 2 k, explicit. Virginlock. First time, slightly awkward realisticsex. “I’m so in love with you,” John says, a statement of fact.“I will never not be in love with you.” Sherlock is so embarrassed.Talking and laughing in bed.

Portugal by youngdarling,  5 k, teen. Sherlock and John“accidentally” get married, and John doesn’t freak out at all.

Anti-ClockwisebyPoppyAlexander, 5 k, mature. Everything about Rome is a disaster, and nowSherlock has (inadvertantly?) passed John a lockpick that fits the clasp of aPandora’s Box.

34 Rules and Two Addendums: Not Gaybyscuttlesworth, 5 k, mature. John starts a list. It’s only in his head, ofcourse; if you write something down in the flat, it immediately ceases to beprivate, even if you password protect the file and name it something completelyinnocuous like “taxes”. So this is the list of Not Gay he keeps inhis head.

[lierdumoa]

Can we talk about how the Deadpool movie, which the media has largely referred to (in so many words) as a fuckboy’s wetdream, not only gives a female sex worker an empathetic role, but treats her and her work more respectfully than about 99% of so called feminist media?

.

At no point does the movie imply that Vanessa is tainted because she is a sex worker. At no point does the movie imply that Vanessa is unworthy of love because she is a sex worker.

At no point is Vanessa portrayed as “broken.”

At no point does the movie imply that being a sex worker makes Vanessa a bad girlfriend. At no point does Deadpool ask or expect Vanessa to sacrifice her job for their relationship.

At no point is Vanessa slut-shamed for her job, by either protagonists or villains. 

Think about that.

Denigrating sex workers is so taboo within the Deadpool movieverse that even the villains won’t do it.

We know that Vanessa experienced sexual abuse, and that it’s shaped the person she’s become and influenced the choices she’s made. The movie clearly acknowledges that sexual abuse is real, and that it is damaging, and that people who experience sexual abuse struggle to lead “normal” lives and get “normal” jobs.

But the movie never hands sexual abusers the mic.

There is no sexual abuse porn in this movie. There are no voyeuristic rape flashbacks. There are no misogynist monologues. The audience learns about Vanessa’s abusive past from Vanessa, on Vanessa’s terms, through Vanessa’s own words.

This seems like the bare minimum of dignity any female character should be granted, yet so much media fails to meet this extremely low bar.

The movie makes it very clear that Vanessa has a life outside of sex work. She does not live on a stripper pole. Sex work is something Vanessa does. Sex work is not who Vanessa is. She has an apartment. She wears pajamas. What other fictional universe can say the same? I can think of one tv show, but that’s about it, and that show’s viewership is nothing compared to Deadpool’s.

Now on the one hand, I’m not necessarily happy that Vanessa’s character arc revolves almost entirely around her romantic relationship with the lead male protagonist. But on the other hand, I find it very refreshing to see a sex worker in the media whose character arc does not revolve entirely around the fact that she is a sex worker. Hate to say it, but for sex workers in the media, being relegated to the role of love interest is actually a step up.

Most feminist media would rather pretend sex workers don’t exist than write storylines of any kind for them. 

[jenniferrpovey]

This.

And the people who call Deadpool a fuckboy’s wet dream sure as heck didn’t watch the same movie I did.

The movie has:

A very funny moment in which the joke is on those who assume that sex workers have abusive pasts, not on the sex worker. (The comparing abuse thing gets ridiculous enough that they’re both clearly lying).

The male lead repeatedly posed in female come-on positions. This one is my favorite:

He’s even on a bearskin rug in front of a fire. The humor in this pose is “Haha, isn’t it silly to pose a character like that.” It’s designed explicitly to make people think about how commonly female characters are shown in these kinds of ridiculous poses. Going to tell me that’s not a feminist visual joke?

An under-age female character who is never sexualized. Yeah, this girl

Look at that. A practical costume, her breasts are minimized rather than emphasized. We only see Negasonic Teenage Warhead as badass, not “cute.” And she’s treated like a teenager, not a child or an adult.

Oh, and Deadpool doesn’t rescue Vanessa in the end. He throws her a weapon so she can rescue herself. Which she does, because she’s badass.

I’d actually call Deadpool a feminist movie, and an important one. Why?

Because they probably tricked an entire bunch of fuckboys into watching a feminist movie ;).

So, why was it so feminist?

Two words: Ryan and Reynolds.

Ryan Reynolds wanted to do this movie. He wanted to do this movie for years. Reynolds is basically a Deadpool cosplayer who managed to convince a movie studio to pay him a lot of money to be a Deadpool cosplayer.

Guess what Ryan Reynolds also is?

A feminist. He says he’s going to push for even more badass ladies in the sequel. (I think we’re going to see Vanessa with superpowers. They had her long enough to expose her to the agent, if not to activate it).

[the-rain-monster]

I’d love to see Vanessa with superpowers, and I enjoyed the hell out of Deadpool.

[jenniferrpovey]

I forgot one, and an important one.

When we are shown the strip club Vanessa works at, it is not filmed the way movies always film strip clubs.

It’s filmed as if we were going to an office. It’s just “this is where Vanessa happens to work.” No low shot angles to show off women’s bodies, no soft porn music.

Just very…matter of fact.

[shut-up-hippie]

Can we also bring up that Deadpool does NOT shame Negasonic’s name choice? It screams OC but he’s still supportive of it.

[fluffmugger]

Of course he’s not gonna shame it, it’s the best fucking thing he’s ever heard in his life and he’s pissed at himself that he didn’t think of it first.

[alexxphoenix42]

Any chance of finding a fic where John and Sherlock either meet or catch each other while cottaging?

Hey friend, I think this list is the closest I have for this. :)

Met in aclub

Take Me, Insteadby MajorEnglishEsquire, 2 k, mature. Almost poetry. A strung-out Sherlockstumbles into a club, and the music transports him. He has to meet the deitythat created such music, and finds John lugging his equipment out to a batteredcar. Sherlock kisses his palms and melts into the night. Years later, they meetat St. Bart’s. Kind of sad, and kind of dreamy. So well written.

Whisper Gameby astudyinrose, 11 k, explicit. John and Sherlock meet at a gay bar on John’sstag night right before he ships out to Afghanistan. They share a moment in aloo that stays with them. Of course they meet again a decade later when MikeStamford introduces them at Bart’s.

Let’s Make the Most of the Nightby SailorChibi, 6 k, mature. John’s notexpecting much when Harry drags him to the club. It’s not how he wants to spendNew Years Eve, not in the least. But then a strange man approaches him at thebar and suddenly his boring night is anything but.

Sherlock Jewellery Commissions

Hi everyone ! I’m still having cat problems and vet bills so I’ve decided to try and do some commissions.

Exemples of my work:

Fandoms: BBC Sherlock but I’m open to other Sherlock Holmes incarnations (Granada Holmes, RDJ Sherlock…). If you want anything else, it doesn’t hurt to ask, I’ll probably say yes.

What I don’t do: I don’t  do cuff bracelet from fan art that isn’t yours. Don’t even ask, sorry.

How a commission works: Message me on tumblr. If you want a cuff bracelet, I’ll need a good quality picture and the size of your wrist. I’ll then work on a pattern. If you’re happy with the pattern, I’ll start the bracelet or order the beads if I don’t have them already.

Turnaround time: It depends on the beads I have and the beads I need for the cuff. If I have all I need, it takes a week. If I have to order some beads, it can take up to one month. At that point, if the turnaround time is too long, you can still change your mind. Once I’ve started the beading or once I’ve passed the order, you can’t change your mind.

Pricing: The price of a cuff bracelet depends on the number of beads I need. You have to count a minimum of 45€. I’ll ask you to pay upfront using Paypal  or through my Etsy Shop.

Thanks for reading and I’d appreciate a reblog. 

Have a nice day!

I’ve been studying the classic black tie dress code (mainly from here) so I thought I could share my notes. Maybe they can be helpful to someone else, too. If I made any mistakes or things are really confusing please tell me.  I also have some notes on white tie which I could share as well…

[alexxphoenix42]

“I‘ve got you”

Hey friends, I had an ask awhile back for fics featuring John saying “I’ve got you” during sex. Since I don’t make notes that detailed, I’ve been keeping track of any stories I ran into after getting the ask. Here is what I’ve come up with so far …

John says “I’ve Got You” during sex

Blurring the Lines of Friendship by Goddess_of_the_Night, KittieHill, 7 k, explicit. It comes to light that Sherlock has deleted how to masturbate, and the fact that he’s never been able to achieve orgasm by himself. He requires some assistance, and who better to ask than the good Doctor Watson?

The Trouble with Sentiment by Khansfringe, orphan_account, 95 k, explicit. When John, a twenty-two year old Alpha university student, gets dragged to an Omega auction house by his friend, Mike Stamford, he wasn’t planning on buying anything. At least, not until he saw Sherlock, the eighteen year old, emaciated Omega with trust issues. Now John and Sherlock have to find a way to work through both of their troubles, including Sherlock’s tragic past and John’s volunteering to join the army.

An Indecent Gentleman by starrysummernights, 4 k, explicit. (Locked to AO3.) Victorian AU! After being wounded in the war, John Watson returns to England and is hired to be Sherlock Holmes’s valet. This is a good arrangement, for both of them, but Sherlock has feelings for John that he doesn’t dare speak of. He devises a plan to get close to John and enjoy a scant few minutes of closeness with the secret object of his affection. Smut ensues.

The space between by Salambo06, 6 k, explicit.  “It’s for a case,” Sherlock says as soon as John looks down at his computer. John and Sherlock watch porn together. (John carries Sherlock to bed and says “I’ve got you.”)

Six Dates by avawtsn, 7 k, explicit.  A 5+1 written for the prompt “is this a date?” John and Rosie have moved into 221b, and Sherlock and John continue to figure things out between them.

Slowly by Sweetcupncakes, 2 k, explicit. Sherlock’s eyes close as John licks and kisses his way down that lithe body, long fingers trace up and over John’s shoulders, cupping over his ears. John rests his chin above Sherlock’s navel. “Tell me what you need, love.”
