Diary entry of John Watson

I met this guy in the pub tonight. I want to write a bit more about him, so this is what happened:

I sat at the counter as usual, waiting for Mike to get here. Now and then, I glanced quickly at the door, in hope that he would finally arrive, and I would not be alone anymore. I felt a bit insecure, sitting alone in a pub full of people who all had company. When I looked to the door again, right in this moment, a tall, dark-haired man stepped in. I quickly looked another way, but he noticed me anyway. He smirked playfully and went in another direction. In the end, Mike gave me a call and said he couldn’t make it as his current girlfriend insisted on some time alone with him. Understandable, but it put me in a very strange situation. I could either choose to leave the pub and watch some telly, or stay in the pub, drinking a little and maybe chat up someone to spend the day with. I chose the latter and ordered a light drink since I didn’t want to get drunk too fast. In short, the tall man returned to me after an hour or so. It went something like this:

“So, you’re still sitting alone in here?” He sat down next to me and ordered a drink for himself and I noticed that he threw a suggesting smile to the bartender. “I was waiting for the right person to talk to, I guess,” I answered and took a sip from my glass. “Since you are talking to me, can I take this as a compliment?” He asked, smirking a bit. He wanted to play, and I immediately sensed trouble. Players are not my type, mainly because they tend to show off and disregard their partner. But somehow, I kept talking to this stranger and I became intrigued. We flirted a bit and drank a little more, when he asked: “So, Afghanistan or Iraq?” I was confused because I didn’t mention going into the war. I must have been mentally absent for a minute because he said something like this: “Did I shock you?” Then, I came back to consciousness. “I’m sorry, what did you say?” “I said, Afghanistan or Iraq? I’ve been trying to guess for the whole evening now as I watched you from afar, but I can’t so, what was it?” I answered simply, just stating the country of my service, Afghanistan. “How did you-“I started, but he cut me off, ranting about all of his thoughts and conclusions about Afghanistan. I was astonished and everything I could say was: “That was amazing.” He really was surprised. “That’s not what people usually say.” “What do they usually say?” “Piss off.”

I lost it then. I laughed, he laughed, we had way too many drinks and we ended up in a cab, on the way to my flat.

I remember this part quite vividly. We entered my flat and as soon as he closed the door, he kissed me. The kiss was not soft and sweet, it was more like a question, a request for more. And I gave him all I had to offer. I really don’t want to describe the whole scene in here, but neither him nor me will be able to walk the next days. It was amazing.

He gave me his number but not his name. So, I will text him and see how it goes. This guy is something special and I want to meet him again. Really.

That’s all for today.

Jessica Jones Killgrave

Ok I know this is a Sherlock blog and I have a Sherlock oneshot in mind to post, but I finished Jessica Jones season 1 today and I absolutely loved Killgrave. So here, for everyone who’s interested, a short maybe-beginning of a fic about him and another inhuman-woman

---

Killgrave had enough. After being nearly killed by Jessica Jones, the girl he desired, he left and resettled in Los Angeles, the city of dreamers and lovers. He didn’t see this coming, though.

It was a warm, sunny day and he sat in a café in the city, working on himself. He had to piece his life back together after this and he had to make sure nobody would follow him or recognize him here. That’s when he saw her. Piercing blue eyes and rosy cheeks, she pulled off a professional work outfit with a white blouse and black pants. Her high heels made her almost as tall as he was. In this moment, he knew what he wanted to do this week. Her. Killgrave was definitely attracted to her, the way she seemed unreachable. She went up to the counter and ordered. She received her beverage and to his surprise, sat across next to him.

“You’ve been watching be for the last five minutes. Care to explain why? Judging from your style, you’re not some random pervert.” He was nearly speechless. This woman had balls! He debated whether he should control her or not but decided against it for the fun. In case, he could step in.

“I like to watch gorgeous things.” He answered with a playful grin. She took a sip from her drink and stared into his eyes.

“Well, thank you. You don’t look too bad yourself.”

“Is your name as beautiful as you are? I’d like to find out,” he said. She gave him a slight smile and he felt her opening up to him. The ice was melting.

“My name is Elizabeth, you’re the judge if it’s beautiful.” She glanced at her watch, then frowned.

“I’m sorry, but I didn’t really plan to chat up someone. I have an appointment in a few minutes, but if you gave me your number, we could continue this. You seem like a nice guy,” she added.

Killgrave definitely didn’t want her to leave. He looked her deep in the eyes, inhaled sharply and said: “No, stay.”

Elizabeth looked confused at first, then shook her head. “I’m really sorry, but I gotta leave. You didn’t tell me your name, but you can text me if you want.” She handed him a business card. “Bye, hope to hear from you!” Then she rushed out of the café.

Killgrave sat in his seat, as speechless as he was when he first saw her. This woman, this Elizabeth, just blindly walked away from his powers, completely unaffected! And he had to know how.

I want a Johnlock AU where John plays a game and Sherlock is the referee. Imagine the possibilities

[johnlockedasf]

Nightmares

“Don’t go away, please” John woke up at the sound of his boyfriend talking in his sleep. “Please, I need you. Please, don’t.” Sherlock muffled into his pillow and curling around it. John sat up in their bed. He had never experienced this before, since they were sleeping in the same bed for a month, at last. He didn’t know that Sherlock talked in his sleep. Maybe that’s why he avoided sleep so much. “I...I loved you...” he started sobbing into the blanket. John decided to wake him up. “Sherlock,” he whispered. “Love, you need to wake up.” He rubbed on his back, but wasn’t successful. “You never wanted me, did you? All you wanted was the drug!” That was it, John turned Sherlock around with a firm grip on his back. He awoke with a cry. He looked at John, who just pulled him into a hug.

“It’s gonna be okay. You’re okay, Sherlock.”

[johnlockedasf]

What if

At an early age, when Eurus set the fire, she wasn't the only one taken away. Sherlock was, too. He was examined and then given back to his family. He then grew up and when he was found with the drugs, he was put into Sherrinford as well. The whole series is playing in his mindpalace - London.

[johnlockedasf]

Just imagine teenager Rosie Watson getting in a fight with Sherlock over something and accusing him of killing her mother.

[jennstarkid]

About a week ago I posted this.

I’ve been getting horrible messages like this in my ask for months, including:

and my personal favorite

After getting the message saying “Just go kill yourself” I was completely done dealing with this person’s horrible messages and replied with just an “Okay.” and logged off tumblr.

About a week later I logged back on with 17 messages in my ask, most of them from the anon. I scrolled down and at first when I logged off, the anon messaged me things like

I scrolled up more and all of a sudden they started sending me more and more messages like

This was extremely surprising to me. I thought “After all those horrible messages you sent to me for MONTHS about hating me and wanting me dead, you say ‘sorry’ and that you ‘cant be responsible for someone’s suicide’?”

But I guess the lesson goes like this:

DONT TELL ANYONE TO KILL THEMSELVES UNLESS YOU ARE PREPARED FOR WHAT MIGHT ACTUALLY HAPPEN

[galaxywarrioress1234]

DON’T TELL ANYONE TO KILL THEMSELVES EVER.

[red-rioter]

THIS POST IS SO IMPORTANT I WANT EVERYONE ON TUMBLR IN THE WORLD TO SEE IT

[serenityhayashi]

This needs to be reblogged. I couldn’t scroll past this if I tried, I got a message like that but not for me, it told me to my friend to kill them self, I was livid! I didn’t answer it because a message like that doesn’t deserve an answer but I don’t see what is so funny about telling someone to kill them selves! I really don’t! It’s sick and it’s wrong. This person though, I take my hat off to you. You taught that bully a lesson.

[dressedlikeadaydrexm]

this.

[amarifilms-deactivated20200317]

Wow. Just WOW. DONT BE A BULLY ONLINE! Your words could lead to someone seriously hurting themselves. Joke or not.💔

[secretsushislut-deactivated2024]

so, in conclusion, don’t be fucking mean.

[johnlockedasf]

Don’t imagine Sherlock dreaming about being in a relationship with John. Kissing and hugging, the intimate moments they would share together.

Don’t imagine Sherlock waking up from the dream to kiss John - just to see that he is alone.

Don’t imagine the sad look on his face when he realizes that it was just another dream, just another creation of his sleeping mind, just another wish that won’t come true. Just another fantasy.

Don’t imagine Sherlock falling back asleep to the thought that he will always stay alone.

[johnlockedasf]

Johnlock Soulmate AU

In a world where every pair of soulmates has a curse, it’s usually something normal like a bad sense of fashion. Sherlock has a worse one. At a random time everyday, time around him stops for a random amount of minutes, anywhere between 1 to 120. When he meets John, he discovers that he has the same curse.

[johnlockedasf]

Johnlock Fanfic Prompt

okay, I have no idea if this has been written yet:

Imagine Irene Adler had a sister. They don’t get along well because Irene didn’t want her involved in the dark scene she’s active in. But, her sister met Moriarty when he was at Irene’s one time. She became his lover and his associate.

When Moriarty gets interested in Sherlock Holmes, he quickly finds out that John Watson will be a problem. So, he sends his associate to seperate them. She seduces John and starts a relationship with him to slowly split them apart.

But, when Moriarty dies and her sister is away, saved by Sherlock Holmes, she clears her name and her CV and starts to work for Scotland Yard. There, she quickly becomes one of the best investigators because of her knowledge and contacts in the scene. The problem is, Sherlock Holmes isn’t dead as she thought he was. When he comes back, she checks him out, only to find John engaged to an assassin that she used to know and Sherlock has no clue that Mary Morstan has been assigned to kill him.

Thoughts? Anyone wanna write that?

Hey! Could you suggest me any good soulmate fics? I've already read two and I got addicted. (Thank youuu!)

Hi Lovely!

I don’t have many, and I know I’m missing a couple because I can’t remember their names and they probably aren’t tagged on AO3, so I didn’t add them to this list (like I can’t remember for the life of me what the fic is where Sherlock has electricity powers and John is the one who can stabilize them for Sherlock… it’s bugging me because I’ve gone through my bookmarks like 7 times D:). ANYWAY, I have put some some soulmate AU’s on this rec list here before, but let’s make a strictly Soulmate AU list, yeah? 

So here are soulmate-ish fics! Please feel free, my friends, to add your own recs or let me know what that fic is I’m thinking of because it’s driving me cray, LOL.

SOULMATES AND SOUL BONDS

what’s in a name by flight815kitsune (NR, 1,285 w. || Soulmates AU) – There were some things you just knew. The name, if you were lucky enough to get one, was one of those things.

To Mend A Heart by dee-light (G, 1,472 w. || Magical Realism, Emotional H/C) – Hearts can be broken, and mended, and broken again. Good thing, then, that hearts are only the seat of all emotion, and not something Sherlock needs in order to live.

the fearful passage of death-mark’d love by flibbertygigget (T, 1,980 w. || Magical Realism, Angst, Hurt/Comfort, Platonic Life Partners, Name Marks, Referenced Deaths) – The first time that John meets Sherlock Holmes, the younger man has his sleeves pushed up to his elbows, wrists bare of any hint of ink. Within 48 hours, John has added “Jefferson Hope” to his clavicle. (Or: The One Where, When You Kill Someone, Their Name Shows Up On Your Arm)

Upon Waking by joolabee (E, 3,901 w. || Mild Dub Con, Magical Realism, Angst, Somnophilia) – It sets on slow: John can only be awake while Sherlock sleeps, and vice versa. Their lives are codependent, but never meeting. Like a set of scales.

Winter of Life by You_Light_The_Sky (T, 5,178 w. || Christmas, Fluff & Angst, Magic Realism) – It was an experiment, really. On Christmas, Sherlock wrote to Santa asking for a friend. He got a broken toy soldier instead. This is the story of how he finds him again and again.

The Heart On Your Sleeve by flawedamythyst (T, 5,441 w. || Soulmate AU || Sherlock POV, Heartmarks, Pining, Fluff and Angst, Semi-S1 / S2 Canon Compliant, Reunion) – Sherlock stared at the imperfect circle on his left wrist in horror, then sat down on his bed with a bit of a thump. After over thirty years, his heartmark was finally showing activity. This was not good.

Finding John by orphan_account (T, 5,456 w. || Soul Bond AU, Symbolic Rings, Soul Mates) – Sherlock Holmes has met exactly twenty-four Johns in his life. They have all been the wrong John. He’s getting tired of waiting, staring at the inscription on his finger and wondering when his John will turn up, if ever. Part 1 of Inscriptions

The Best Picture of the Human Soul by SwissMiss (T, 5,779 w. || Magical Realism, Tattoos, Soulmates) – The stories of our lives are written on our skin. Part 1 of Imagines Moti

The Most Luminous of People by liriodendron (M, 10,979 w. || Synesthesia, Pre-Slash, Developing Romance, First Kiss) – In which Sherlock Holmes finds out what it’s like to truly want something, John Watson isn’t too bad at deductions, and everything gets a bit bright for a minute. Part 1 of Conductivity

The River Variations by withoutawish (T, 11,619 w. || Soulmates, Emotional Hurt / Comfort, Three Garridebs, Romance, Light Case Fic, Near Death Experience, Angst and Fluff) – John Watson never knew that he wanted a ‘no toast in the mornings’ normal until he realized what an honor it is to be destroyed by Sherlock Holmes.

With All My Heart by QuinnAnderson (E, 19,257 w. || Red Marks / Soulmates || Magical Realism, Growing Up, First Kiss / Time, Falling in Love) – AU in which every time a person falls in love, a red line like a tally mark appears on their wrist. Sherlock is determined to keep himself from ever gaining one of these marks for fear that love will corrode his mental faculties. Then he meets John Watson.

An Experiment in Apathy Series by belovedmuerto (G to E, 28,701 w. across 13 stories || Empath John, Empath-by-Proxy Sherlock, Epic Bromance Becomes Romance, Angst, Nightmares, Experiments, Trauma, Dreams) – “No man is an island, John. You less so than most.” A sequel to the EiE Series, wherein John and Sherlock explore their relationship.

The Soul Remembers by i_ship_an_armada (E, 43,636 w. || Oblivion AU || Post-Apocalypse, Movie Fusion, Science Fiction, Action/Adventure, Angst, Dreams, Bittersweet Ending) – John Watson is the lone security repairman stationed on a desolate, nearly-ruined future Earth. His dreams are plagued by a tall, dark-haired man, and when his dreams meet reality, he will be forced to question everything he believes is the truth about his life.

An Experiment in Empathy Series by belovedmuerto (T, 62,397 w. across 13 stories || Empath AU || Psychic John, Psychic-by-Proxy Sherlock, Empathy, Psychic Bond, Romance / Bromance) – In which John is an empath, Sherlock is Sherlock, and an epic bromance happens. In the aftermath of The Great Game, John creates an unexpected bond between himself and Sherlock. Now they have to learn how to deal with it. John is better at this than Sherlock is.

Bleed Me Out by antietamfalls (E, 87,987 w. || Vampire AU || Bonding, Vampire Sherlock, Fluff & Angst, H/C, John Whump, Magical Realism) – John isn’t exactly surprised to discover that Sherlock isn’t human. His vampirism doesn’t pose a problem, even when their relationship gradually grows into something more.
