Sad to see the Sherlock fandom leave the fandom one by one.

I mean, in the beginning it was good omens and now " our flag mean dead "

I don't have any problems but I'm worried about the idea of ​​a fandom becoming dead.

[noa-nightingale]

Is it just me or are Holmes and Watson touching each other more than usual in The Adventure of the Empty House.

“I gripped him by the arms.”

“Again I gripped him by the sleeve, and felt the thin, sinewy arm beneath it.”

“Holmes’s cold, thin fingers closed round my wrist and led me forward down a long hall, until I dimly saw the murky fanlight over the door.”

“My companion put his hand upon my shoulder and his lips close to my ear.”

“So amazed was I that I threw out my hand to make sure that the man himself was standing beside me. He was quivering with silent laughter.” (… this one is also just really funny tbh)

“I clutched Holmes’s arm, and pointed upward.”

“An instant later he pulled me back into the blackest corner of the room, and I felt his warning hand upon my lips. The fingers which clutched me were quivering.”

Like. That’s a lot.

[transholmes]

Man in its own way this is as heart rendering as Holmes’s letter in FINA was. They are so desperate to reassure themselves that the other one is really there that they just can’t keep their hand off each other. They both need that physical reassurance that, “yes this is really real”.

Here, have a couple of fine gentlemen greeting you

Are they blushing? maybe~ teeheehee

They looked better in my mind I swear

I'm gonna blame it on its size (small. again.) because I'm an idiot who can't seem to have control over the size of her own drawings.

The morning after their first time, Sherlock startled John by taking his hand as they stepped down off the stoop onto Baker Street. He kept it tightly in his own for the ride to the crime scene (where he relinquished it with clear reluctance as they exited the cab) and again during the one to dinner, where he held it on the table between them at the tiny Burmese restaurant they’d recently discovered.

Well, more than just held it. He stroked his thumb over the back of John’s knuckles as they worked their way through shrimp kat kyi hnyat and crispy chapati with peas, and brought their clasped hands to his lips as John declined the waiter’s suggestion of shwe yin aye for dessert. Sherlock’s hand on the small of John’s back guided him out of the restaurant, and he tipped John’s chin up for a brief kiss before taking his hand once more and hailing a cab for the ride home.

Every day after was both gloriously similar and endlessly surprising. Sherlock’s lips at his temple as he handed John a cup of tea. Sherlock’s arms around John’s waist, nuzzling behind his ear as John tried to finish the stir-fry. Sherlock nestling his toes under John’s thigh on the couch; leaning against him in bed to read; running a hand through John’s hair as he passed behind his seat at the desk; pulling him into the shower on a lazy Sunday morning.

This was Sherlock in love, and it took John’s breath away.

He wasn’t different, not really. He still got lost in his head and forgot John’s presence. He still neglected to label the kidneys he stored in the freezer, left wet towels on the bathroom floor, and maneuvered the sheets so somehow John always got stuck lying in the wet spot. He deduced when he shouldn’t, didn’t do the shopping when he should, and left the bills in a pile for John every month.

No, Sherlock wasn’t different. But somehow he was more.

When John had allowed himself to dream in years past, he had never imagined Sherlock as affectionate. He had assumed that if he ever were to witness Sherlock having a (real) relationship, that it would be a very private thing. Sherlock was, after all, an intensely private person. He was not often outwardly demonstrative toward those for whom he cared.

But maybe that had been a defense. A wall against a world that thought him unworthy of love, unworthy to love. Because from the moment they had stepped outside 221B that first morning after, with the security of John’s love wrapped around him, Sherlock had claimed John as his own in the eyes of the world. Though they were completely professional while working, even the least observant among the Yarders could see them grinning at each other, their forearms brushing deliberately as they knelt by a body. The first time Lestrade caught Sherlock with his hand on John’s knee as they waited for some test result or another, rather than bristling as expected and pulling away, Sherlock just flushed a little and left his hand there. Even when Sherlock put an arm around John’s waist to produce an eyeroll from Mycroft, his smile was always genuine and his fingertips always slipped under the edge of John’s jumper to find warm skin. There were brief notes scrawled on post-its and tucked into John’s sock drawer, texts at inappropriate moments that made John blush like a virgin, and small, thoughtful gifts he never anticipated–cashmere socks on a particularly cold morning; a gorgeous new pen tucked into his notebook; a bouquet of sunflowers on a relentlessly gray afternoon.

John had never been loved as openly and wholly as Sherlock loved him, and where similar displays by people in his past had made him uncomfortable, Sherlock’s love opened his heart wide. It freed him.

It freed them both.

John tried not to think about how close they’d come to missing this. They hadn’t, after all, and it did him no good to dwell on time lost or past pain. Sometimes, though, the regret pushed a little too hard, and overwhelmed him. He tried to hide it from Sherlock every time, but a consulting detective in love cannot be fooled by a melancholy doctor. He would let Sherlock lead him to their bed and hold him until it passed and he was once again ready to step into the light.

Yes, Sherlock was more–more than John had expected, and more, he suspected, than he deserved, and John loved him more than a lifetime would allow him to express, this Sherlock for whom love came as easily as breath. But he only had but one lifetime, so it would have to suffice. Sherlock’s love deserved careful handling, and John intended to give it nothing less than his very best for each and every one of his remaining days.

No, John had never dreamed this.

This was better than any dream.

Writing Research - Victorian Era

In historical fiction it is important to be accurate and the only way to do so is to research the era. What is highly recommended by many writers is to write your story first. While writing your story, mark the parts that you’re not sure are correct and then do the research after you are done. This is to prevent you from doing unnecessary research that may not be relevant to your work. You want to spend your time wisely! Or you can just research as you go, it’s really whatever works for you since there isn’t a “wrong” way to research.

To begin, the Victorian era of the British history (and that of the British Empire) formally begins in 1837, which was the year Victoria became Queen and ends in 1901 – the year of her death. It was a long period of peace, prosperity, refined sensibilities and national self-confidence for Britain. Some scholars date the beginning of the period in terms of sensibilities and political concerns to the passage of the Reform Act 1832.

Sherlock Holmes (1984) - 221B planimetry

Here’s the planimetry of 221b in the Granada Sherlock Holmes adaptation. The layout of the first floor was completely shown on screen, but for the other floors there will be some deduction and speculation. Proportions are taken by sight, so they will not be too precise. Of course I could be wrong somewhere because I’ve made a series of inferences without somebody ever checking.
