It be Halloween soon, so let’s dig out all those of my fics that would befit a dark, stormy night…

The Victim Experience (https://archiveofourown.org/works/26876107)

A case takes Sherlock and John deep into the seedy underbelly of the haunted attractions industry. With audiences craving more and more intense experiences, is a real murder the next logical step?

Flesh And Bone All Traveling Home (https://archiveofourown.org/works/5102897)

During a desolate night in Afghanistan, while watching over a dying soldier, John Watson meets an angel of death.

Smile Like A Paper Cut (https://archiveofourown.org/works/5653597)

Many serial killers are capable of leading outwardly normal lives hiding in plain sight as husbands, wives, scout leaders, doctors, policemen, soldiers and employers. What if Sherlock is one of them? And what if John discovers his secret?

Wait Till Victor Comes (https://archiveofourown.org/works/13278726)

“Lots of children process grief the way Sherlock is now doing – by creating imaginary friends,” the child psychiatrist tells them at a family meeting. “It’s completely harmless.“ Mycroft isn’t sure at all about that.

So Closely Allied (https://archiveofourown.org/works/16531715)

She has always been a part of his life but now, she needs to leave.

the Hell Be At The Door series https://archiveofourown.org/series/493528 Two years ago, John’s marriage fell apart and he moved back to Baker Street. Things between him and Sherlock are still very much undefined, and John is certain that he’ll have plenty of time to figure it all out. This notion proves dangerously false: strange things are set in motion when Sherlock’s long-lost “acquaintance” from university appears on their doorstep and a baffling burglary case frustrates Sherlock to no end. What is behind Sherlock’s black moods and dwindling health? Where is Mycroft? Why would someone steal artefacts from the British Museum that have interested nary a soul for decades?In the midst of this thickening fog stands John, who will soon have to take on an enemy much greater than even Moriarty.

Here and here are websites where you can play with sand

Here is a website where you can paint someone’s nails

Here is a website where you can grow a garden with emojis

Here is a website with hundreds of videos of people hugging you (rightfully dubbed ‘the nicest place on the internet’ because it really is, y’all, it made me cry)

Here is a website that will take you to other useless websites

Here is a website where you can make a tiny cat play bongo drums (and other instruments!)

Here is a website to help give you gentle reminders <3

Here is a website where you can grow a tiny farm

Here is a website where you can take a bunch of scientific personality tests

Here is a website of calm rain noise

Take a breath. It’s going to be okay, I promise.

Still a good precaution. And definitely necessary for everyone for when life has returned to normal in like three years just in case you meet the love of your life and they’re positive.

Couldn’t share this fast enough.

Rebloging this to add a little more info because it’s very important:

Antiretroviral therapy when used correctly can cause the user’s “viral load” (your viral load is how much of the virus is in your bloodstream), to drop because the medicine prevents HIV from creating copies of itself.

Regular blood tests are done to monitor your viral load, and after taking the medication long enough, it can drop so low that it becomes “durably undetectable”. This means that the HIV virus in you has become so miniscule that it can’t be detected, and by extension can’t be transmitted either. It’s important to note that in order to be considered durable undetectable, you MUST test as undetectable for at least 6 months after testing as undetectable for the first time.

Also very important, being durably undetectable does NOT mean that you’re cured or that the virus is gone, not by a longshot. The HIV virus is still very much there, but instead of being active, it’s gone dormant in a small number of cells called “viral reservoirs”. This why it’s EXTREMELY important that even after achieving durably undetectable status, you continue to take your Antiretroviral medications correctly. Because if you stop, the HIV virus will reemerge from the viral reservoirs and pick up right where it left off in creating copies of itself, and you will have to start all over again if you want to become durably undetectable again.
