hehe i tried to upload it in one huge file and nearly lost all of my cover letters… oh well. toda for the request, hope it’s good…
Absolutely going to be a short story.
Omg.
UPDATE: This actually is now a short, two part story. Let me know what you think!

You have an intermittent tremor in your left hand. Your therapist thinks its post-traumatic stress disorder. She thinks you’re haunted by memories of your military service.
Fire her. She’s got it the wrong way around.
OH MY GOD
OH MY GOD I’M GOING TO CRY NOW
THIS IS FANTASTIC, BLIMEY!!
#his kink at full power
I mean
I HAVE BEEN PATIENTLY WAITING FOR THIS PHOTOSET.
Sherlock’s military kink brings me so much joy, I can’t even explain my level of inner porn.
YES, yes, this, exactly this!
Not even secretly aroused. Sherlock just wants to be in the middle of a giant military guy pile. Is it so much to ask?
My absolute favorite thing about that Baskerville scene is that John does’t even LOOK at that dude when he says ‘that’s an order’ - as in, ‘I’m so fucking in charge that I don’t even need to acknowledge you as I demand things from you AND YOU WILL GIVE ME WHAT I WANT.’
UNF.
Bless this.
that second bit is the source of my favorite, but dated, Sherlock meme ever:
100 Words: Double Drabble Day!
Chapter 80: Endings
John knows what endings look like. A black monument. A name and a date.
Another funeral, another memorial. The name — Mary Watson — is a lie.
He sees him at the door of the church, waiting to slip out.
Sherlock, leaving the wedding early. Sherlock, on the tarmac, making a joke.
John knows what endings sound like: Something I’ve always meant to say and never have.
Following him out, John runs to close the gap between them.
Catching him, he pleads, “Don’t leave me.”
“I’m sorry, John.” Sherlock blinks, tearful. “I blame myself.”
“You didn’t kill her; she chose. Please, stay.”
Chapter 81: Beginnings
“I failed you,” Sherlock says. “I misjudged the risk, and your wife is dead.”
John shakes his head. “No one could ever make Mary do anything. She chose. I never forgave her for shooting you. I think that’s why… I cheated on her.”
“It was just texting, you said.”
“Nonetheless, cheating. But… Sherlock, there’s something I need to say. My life, now. Rosie must come first.”
“Of course. Absolutely. I understand.”
“But I ask myself: would our life be better without you in it?”
He can’t look at John.
“Can I — can we come home?”
Arms around John, he weeps.
❤️❤️

man it's so fucking funny when I actually solve a wordle bc in my brain it makes me feel like this gif
This man really made a living doing that and then the show ended and now he makes a living doing the exact same thing but with different effects for the random hand movements
In fairness, he does make different hand movements
hi there!
feel free to answer privately or not at all if this is too much of a private subject for you...
but since you're also a neurodivergent person (we talked about it on my post about adhd... pretty sure i'll get that diagnosis btw lol) do/did you ever struggle with losing your hyperfixation? because lately... well for 2years now i think i am just... not that into sherlock anymore and it makes me so fucking sad but also really helpless because my brain just... doesn't really get the dopamine from it as it used to...
so... yeah. id be very interested in your thoughts about this but no pressure at all.
thanks so much for... just being you :)
*throws badly cut out paper hearts at you*
Hi Lovely!! *HUGS*
Actually, this is a good ask to reply to publicly because this exact same thing has happened to me, despite all outward appearances.
It is 100% normal for our hyperfixations to fluctuate and change on the regular, and while I ADORE BBC Sherlock and I love this fandom, it just doesn't do it for me the same way that it used to way back when, probably right around a year or two after S4 aired. For me it's all about the fandom these days, which I adore being a part of and being "a fixture" of sorts in. Doing my blog is actually cathartic for me and what keeps me going here is that I still adore this series with my heart and I enjoy all the creativity it inspires. It's actually a surprise that I'm still active in this fandom as my fandoms are usually very fleeting and I jump into various ones after the dopamine drops. But I think what's different in this one is that I've found "a place" here and it helps me cope with my various neuroses so while I'm no where as active as I once was, I try my best to be... well, just me.
I definitely don't read a lot of Johnlock anymore (maybe 3 or four new ones a year) as I jump between fics and fandoms like I'm changing underwear right now. My toxic trait is playing a new game and then reading every fic in the ship I like in that game, and then going back to a lot of OLDER Johnlock fics that I know I enjoyed because my brain gets the dopamine hits lately from doing that. It's weird, and I feel bad about it, but I guess just going in knowing I'll enjoy something helps with my scattered moods, I don't know.
That being said, though, just because our interest in a fandom dwindles and returns in waves, doesn't mean we're "not real fans". No such thing. If you like the thing, then you're still a fan. I was a prolific mainstay in the Sonic and Darkwing Duck fandoms in my youth, and I still obsess about them occasionally when something new comes out. Just comes and goes, and honestly, in this world where disappointment seems to be the daily norm, I'll take whatever I can get regarding the stuff that occupies my free time that makes me happy.
And this goes for you too. IT'S OKAY, and it's normal. Probably one of the most "normal" things us neurodiverse people have in our belts, to be honest, LOL.
You're always welcome here Turtley <3 I foresee myself here forever, if I'm honest, so I'll be here for you. My neurodiverse arse gets its dopamine from sorting and organizing and knowing this is a community where I feel safe and welcome, and since I'm lazy, can't start over LOL. Plus Sherlock is the only fandom I've read over 1000 fics for, and you guys all appreciate my skills here LOL.
*noms up all the hearts*
sorry
Digging into the Holmes timeline for Reasons and the fact that “a combination of events, into which I need not enter” caused Holmes and Watson to leave London literally DURING Oscar Wilde’s trial for “gross indecency” (aka having a boyfriend)….. Doyle was friends with Wilde…………..I’m connecting the dots
Okay, so I wanted to find more information on Doyle’s friendship with Wilde, and I didn’t end up needing to look very far, because I’ve been listening to Stephen Fry’s Sherlock Holmes collection and he brings it up it in the foreword to The Sign of Four.
Doyle and Wilde met at a dinner hosted by an American businessman who wanted them both to write books for his magazine. Wilde immediately won Doyle’s heart by complimenting one of his historical novels, which was especially thrilling for Doyle as Wilde was already famous and he (Doyle) hadn’t expected Wilde to have even heard of him.
They did both end up agreeing to write for the magazine. Doyle wrote The Sign of Four and Wilde wrote The Picture of Dorian Gray.
The most interesting part of this whole thing is that Doyle would later go on to gush about Wilde in a memoir written after Wilde’s trial for gross indecency, and in this memoir describes Dorian Gray as “a book that is surely upon a high moral plane.” Which was an incredibly bold stance, given that Dorian Gray was famously cited as evidence against Wilde in his trial.
Fry speculates that some of Holmes’ eccentricities in later books, such as his “murmured elegance of phrasing, dressing gown-lounging bohemian habits, and range of intellectual and artistic reference” may have been inspired by Wilde. He also notes that Langham Hotel, which is was the venue where Wilde and Doyle first met, is name checked in The Sign of Four.
In conclusion, we do NOT ask Holmes and Watson why they left London in 1895.
[Image ID: The “Never Ask a Woman Her Age, A Man His Salary” meme edited so the last panel shows an illustration of Sherlock Holmes and John Watson captioned, “Holmes and Watson, Why they left London in 1895” END ID]
The Watsons are about to have a domestic.
do you still think about That thing when you struggle to plug in your phone NO NUANCE
yes
no
Hahahahahahaha
I don't usually think about it then, but the minute I saw this post...
The thing I love about John is that like…he’s so much more dangerous than Sherlock but everyone else was trying to warn him away like “that guy gets off on crime and you seem like a nice bloke, watch yourself.” They’re all scared for him like “one day we’ll be standing around a body and sherlock will be the one who put it there” and that very night they’re all standing around the cabbie’s body and John put it there.
This is unsettling, I love it
Omg yes
Never underestimate John Watson
“That’s how you get your kicks, isn’t it? You risk your life to prove you’re clever.”
But at least Sherlock only risks his own life, John takes it out on others. Like, he kills the cabbie to save Sherlock, but he sprains Billy just to get a kick.
Sherlock meets Sidney Paget.
Originally done for my livejournal icons, here are the originals and MORE!
damn my leg…
careful, you’re implying they’re implying bottomlock… can u even read this from prison Jadzia
this is so beautiful, though… Sherlock spreading his legs next to a game depicting an operating table, whose patient later gets blasted in the heart just like he does
John looking at a guy next to an operating table who has Sherlock’s basic features, getting ready to shove his fingers up his ass
This was on the BBC1
this reminds me of the bit in TGG where Sherlock is talking to Mycroft and Sherlock is upset that John is at Sarah’s so Sherlock basically gives his violin bow a handjob
I like to think about the painfully obvious deductions that go through Mycroft’s head at those times. Like does Mycroft have deduction-vision like Sherlock? When Sherlock does that leg motion, does the text say “wants a dick up his ass”? Has that happened so much over the years that Mycroft doesn’t even think about it? Like it’s been going on for decades so it’s just background noise now?
How much gay text is just flying off Sherlock at all times? I bet it looks like that old screensaver from The Matrix movies, just an endless scroll. That’s why Mycroft is always closing his eyes and sighing, it’s just too much watching all the letters crash illegibly into each other
When John walked in at the beginning of TGG, how unbelievably absurd did the whole room feel to Mycroft? Like Sherlock is sitting there very obviously gay and bitter John won’t have sex with him, then John walks in very obviously frustrated that he tried and failed to have sex with Sarah because Sherlock won’t have sex with him, and then they’re both in the same flat ALL THE TIME wanting to get all over each other and they don’t, they *don’t,* not even after Mycroft did his damnedest to really sell that Sherlock is a super dangerous guy with a wild lifestyle and would probably marry John immediately, like… apparently John thinks Sherlock’s older brother kidnapped him and prodded at John’s sexuality and made multiple suggestions that John and Sherlock have an instant, red-hot connection because Sherlock is straight. so.
like you just try to find a nice doctor for your brother to marry so he’ll chill the fuck out and quit being so depressing and stay off of drugs, this one is even a SOLDIER and HAS COMPATIBLE ISSUES, this is really statistically unlikely to happen again. this is as close to a miracle as anything can be. but everyone is so stupid, they’re really THIS stupid. even Sherlock. you have taught him nothing, he misses everything, he somehow got confused about the doctor you wound up for him and now they’ve had a fight
this is why Mycroft is always making that face, I feel, that face that’s just done with everything,
OMG i haven’t seen this in so long, it is a delight!

That feeling of picking out what you think is a fine vintage and then realise how much you actually dislike it only after you’re already committed.
