Sherlocked Soul

I am Johnlocked, but blog a bit of everything!

I can't be the only one surprised how casually you're just. Here. Mind talking about what it was like to like. Join Tumblr?

It was 13 or 14 years ago. From what I remember you just shouldered aside the mastodons, went into the Tumblr cave and carved your mark on the wall, telling people you were now signed up for tumblr, and then they would haul memes on animal hides past you. Back then it was mostly cats doing amusing things, obviously, but we would watch them by the flickering firelight, and chortle to ourselves hopefully before leaving the cave and trudging back to our lives.

online communities are so strange because people slip away so easily. you can be on here for years, folding people you've never met into the fabric of your daily life, and then they disappear, leaving only ghost posts scattered across tumblr behind. or their blog stays dormant, for weeks, months, years, until you're only still following them because you remember that they love sunflowers or they were kind to you when they didn't have to be or the last thing they posted was sad and raw and you still worry about them sometimes.

and sometimes they come back when you least expect it, years later, even, and there's this sudden rush of relief like there you are, there you are, even though you barely knew each other.

there's a strange kind of love to it. i don't know you and i want to hold your hand across miles and time zones and oceans. i can still see the imprint of you in this community you left. you don't anyone will notice or care when you're gone, but we notice and we care and we wish you well.

i hope you're all okay out there. i hope the sun is shining on your face and you are breathing deeply. i miss you.

My Electric wheelchair is sadly now 12 years old and is being held together with gaffer tape and love! I really need a new one and as it is my 50th Birthday this year I thought I could try to fund-raise and ask folks to please help with buying a replacement chair.

'Just Giving' Wheelchair fund-raiser link Here

About Nixxie - My Wheelchair is my lifeline. I use it inside my flat to get about as my body sadly doesn't work anymore (please read the Just giving page for details on my disabilities). I also use the chair to get out into my garden... and also anytime I need to leave the house - it gets a lot of mileage - hence why it is sadly starting to show its age! About 3 years ago the welding that holds on the arm failed and cannot be repaired - so the arm bracket is held on with gaffer tape and hot-glue. The batteries hardly hold any charge anymore, one of the wheel-arches got plastic fatigue a few years ago and just plain twisted off! Also all the under panels are held on with velcro, tape and hope! (pictures of all this on the donation page).

I originally bought my powerchair in 2012 to go to London as I'd won tickets to visit the Paralympics with a carer... however I don't trust it now to even go a few miles as I'm petrified another bit will fall off!! A while after I bought my chair I went to a Sci-Fi convention and dressed my wheelchair up as the Tardis to match my costume... I liked it so much that my chair has been Tardis cosplaying ever since!

I try my hardest to still live a life worth living - and even though my body needs to recover for ages afterwards I still try to get out every now and then to do something good.

So that's about it - my diagnosis is that I will never get any better (In fact it's likely I'll carry on getting worse as I get older), so I thought to put this page up to get help in the fundraising as wheelchairs cost a huge amount more than people think and sadly there is no way I can afford it alone. So please if you could, donate - Even if it's only a bit - anything towards being able to go out safely would be SO Amazing and I am utterly thankful to you for your aid.

And please please share this page to spread the joy! *hugs*

It was a lazy, lazy morning, and John had to admit the sheet’s rather comfy. 

[theonefixedpoint]

I love this so much. The colors, the rising steam from their mugs, the light streaming in…it’s all so soft and gentle and perfect.

[inevitably-johnlocked]

ok hii i know exactly the fic i’m looking for and i feel like it was recent? i thought i bookmarked it but i clearly didn’t. i know in the summary it has john saying something like why did you do that hm? because it was set during the s4 hug and sherlock kissed him on his head or something. and then later in the fic john sees sherlock’s scars on his back and cried. i loved it and i cant find it 😭

Hey Nonny!

AHHH Sadly I don't know which one this is :(

Anyone have an idea which fic this might be?

[inevitably-johnlocked]

the-reading-lemon said: I think I know this one! I only read this recently. It's 'The Waning of Withdrawal' by LoloLolly.

lottie-starling said: @the-reading-lemon you're right! That's the one!

The Waning of Withdrawal by LoloLolly (E, 8,248 w., 1 Ch. || Post-TLD Fix-It, First Kiss, First Time, Mentions of Abuse, Mentions of Alcoholism, Mentions of Drug Addiction, Sexual Identity, Panic Attacks, PTSD, Sherlock's Scars, Bed Sharing, Angst, Hurt/Comfort, Grief, Guilt) – Sherlock holds a weeping John in his arms and… does something that will forever change things between them. For better or worse. He fears the latter.

THANK YOU LEMON!!! <3

In answer to the Twitter post, “when he’s tall but you wanna be the big spoon“. This one wasn’t on the WIP list I posted two days ago because…I drew it today. 😳

The Silence Between the Notes, by J_Baillier

Presently, the great J.Baillier Is completing several works. As she's noted that she'll be winding down her illustrious career writing Sherlock and Johnlock fic (truly one of the greats in an incredibly gifted fandom) I wanted to take a moment to comment on one I've been following with keen anticipation: The Silence Between the Notes.

It is set in Vienna 1833, and follows the curious career of a British soldier sent by a commanding, well-to-do brother, to watch after (and spy on, let's be frank) a talented but rather ne'er do well musician, in the person of Sherlock Holmes modeled after Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.

John is the soldier of course, and Mycroft the brother. John and Sherlock's early days together in this story remind me of the dynamic between Watson and Holmes in A Study in Scarlet: Sherlock has his business he is intent upon, and John is curious - both professionally since he'd been sent with a job to do, and personally, as Sherlock appeals to him in all ways - mind body and spirit - as Holmes does to Watson in all their incarnations.

Reading the story is a joy. J's usual deft prose brings to life the city and the times. The fashion, the food (!!!), the oddness of court life, of society, the clashes between John's expectations as an Englishman and the alienness of Austrian culture. Which he grows to like and accept over time as his pastry-fed tastebuds and satin coat stand testament to. And Sherlock's emotional funk which prompted Mycroft's concern and intervention, lead to a glorious revelation that combine historical figures of note, romantic longings and musical genius that transcends time and place to heal hearts and free souls.

So, I recommend this heartily. And all else J does and has done, of course. For those new, or seeking to re-read or complete your reading of J's broad and deep and admirable set of works, there is a fantastic map here:

Thank you so much, J.
