It Was Worth A Wound

Mostly Sherlock. And a lot of other random stuff. A lover of Benedict and Sophie and Martin Freeman. Also a lover of cats and knitting. An allround boring person

Season/Series 1 Favs

Dear Reader: If you have not read these, I envy you, for you will get to do what I can no longer do: read these stories for the first time. Alas, I can only read them for the 20th or 30th time. Ad infinitum.

The Science of Confessions / @finamour​ : I am endeavouring to get you to notice that I am in love with you, but that doesn’t seem to be working.

34 Minutes / @bendingsignpost​ : An experiment in eye contact.

A Quiet Murmuration / @cathedralcarver​ : Just pay me back with one thousand kisses.

Cold Snap / MirithGriffin : The Mayo Clinic prescription for hypothermia is this: Tea. Blanket fort. Sex. All right, it doesn’t come right out and say that on the website. But Sherlock can read between the lines.

The Oolong Disaster / @unicornpoe​ : John has a beard. Sherlock has a panic attack.

First Night Out / @verity-burns​ : As John recovers from the effects of a brutal kidnapping, he and Sherlock attend the Yarders’ Christmas Party. There are… developments on the dance floor…

What Meets the Eye / worldaccordingtofangirls : Amnesia is just another case to solve. Piece together unfamiliar faces, reconstruct the old identity, the lost reality. A challenge that Sherlock could even enjoy. He can read people like books. The man with the silver hair is his boss. The tottering old woman, his landlady. The girl with the worried look in her eyes…infatuated. And as for John Watson? His husband. Obviously.

Because Blah Blah Blah Happy / cwb : John is entirely done with the milk situation and gives Sherlock a list of shit he’s pissed about. Sherlock sets out to make John happy. John is happy. Sherlock makes his own list. They are both very, very happy.

And sooo many more, enough for another post! 

Tell me your favorite Season 1 fics!

Sometimes I just look at this photo of when people had to enjoy the local canal (not optional).

What's your fave gif you've ever made?

Oh you are evil. There are so many I have made!

I’m going to say it is one of my Christmas Mycrofts.  Not because this one took very long or anything, it was just very satisfying in the end.

But then I have older ones like this one that just make me entirely too happy…

And

and other nonsense like this…

And every single thing I have made dance.

I’ve always loved this one of Sherlock playing with his favourite bee.

Out of all my valentines heart ones, Mycroft is my favourite.

And this still really makes me laugh.

Ok last one, I love this one because I don’t really remember why I made it.

unfortunately I am not attractive enough to identify as a hot mess but I am definitely a room temperature inconvenience

Not to sound like a decrepit, rambling corpse about it, but back in my day Word used to be a pre installed program that came with your computer, if you were running Windows.

No subscription. Just program.

On your computer. You got to use it forever and ever and never had to worry about it going away.

Because it was physically on your computer. As a program. That you actually owned. Not because you got it separately, but because it was a standard inclusion with your computer.

I'm sorry but I'll just never get over it. I remember when companies cared about their products being usable out of the box. I remember when our things belonged to us.

Old man shaking fist at cloud, wherein the cloud is the background of the Windows 98 logo.

sci fi is about one thing and one thing only.....actors throwing themselves around a room to simulate the ship being hit
