This is just a side blog devoted to Raffles and Holmes stuff. Note that I did not say Raffles Holmes, as in the John Kendrick Bangs character. Raffles and Holmes.

I want to believe Mackenzie occassionally works with Tiffin! Holmes because can you imagine the headache he would get from needing to watch the sexual tension between Sherlock and James, knowing full well that afterward, he needed to drop in on Raffles and Bunny?

My headcanon is that Mackenzie is gay or bi, but being a policeman, he is very careful to keep it underwraps. He's not going to rat others out. But it was fatally dangerous to be gay in Victorian England, and so his blood pressure spikes whenever he witnesses others being so obvious about it.

No but I know someone who does

It's so important to me that Beatrice initially brought Cordelia and her brothers with her when she planned to kill Silas.

Almost like a present in a way, like a cat bringing a human a mouse.

I don't think she fully knows how to relate to her family the way most people would because of how Silas raised her.

So from her pov, I think it was like, "He lied to me and turned me against you, mum. He hurt you and us. So look at what I'm going to do! I'm choosing you over him permanently!"

I'm cautiously optimistic about the new Moriarty series.

Him being paired with an original character is an interesting choice. I'm not even necessarily opposed to them being shipped together, though whether I end up shipping them will depend on the show and their portrayals.

But I do hope we see Moran and that he's more than an extra. Friends or lovers, Moran and Moriarty should always be incredibly close.

Short lived peaceful morning…

Dark and twisted idea: Obviously, James seems to be at least okay with murder, possibly even enjoy it.

In contrast, Sherlock can't stomach the idea.

The first time Sherlock needs to kill someone, he starts falling apart and panicking.

James loves Sherlock and is genuinely worried about him. He wants to help. But he's also incredibly aroused by watching Sherlock kill.

So James tries calming him down and comforting him. First, James kisses Sherlock. Then, when that seems to help, he takes it further, and the two have sex.

From Sherlock's pov, James is giving him something else to focus on, to help Sherlock ground himself and not feel alone.

In James' defense, that's completely true. It's just also true that as he makes love to Sherlock and tells him it will be alright, James is replaying the moment Sherlock killed the person over and over again in his head.

The shenanigans Rathbone and his Moriartys get up to are canon in my mind. They definitely happen in Young Sherlock verse, too.

Moriarty's henchmen, Watson, and Lestrade are really sick of what they can only interpret as James and Sherlock's bizarre BDSM games.

Sherlock, wtf do you mean you fantasize about James draining your blood? James, wtf do you mean you fully intend to fulfill this fantasy?

[rafflesandholmes]

James is the reason Sherlock and Victor Trevor never became more than friends.

[rafflesandholmes]

Sherlock: Mother, there's something I need to tell you.

Cordelia: Yes, what is it darling?

Sherlock: I... I like men in the way most men like women.

Cordelia:... well, I should hope so, otherwise you would have been misleading James for quite some time!

James: What do you mean Milverton is the most dangerous man in all of London

Sherlock: Well, you see-

James: I'll claw his eyes out! The skank!

[rafflesandholmes]

Beatrice is the one who shot Milverton. You can't convince me otherwise.

She knew Milverton needed to die, and she also knew her dear brother couldn't do it. So she masqueraded as one of Milverton's victims and killed him.

[rafflesandholmes]

We know James has brothers, so as revenge for James flirting with every single one of Sherlock's family members, we should get to see Sherlock flirt with James' brothers.

[rafflesandholmes]

It would have been really sexy if we got to see James beat the shit out of Silas for hurting Sherlock.

[rafflesandholmes]

James: I won't tell Sherlock about our rendevous if you don't tell him I called you his name during sex.

Beatrice: Deal.

[rafflesandholmes]

Given Sherlock is the only one of the Holmes family and James that is uncomfortable with killing people, you just know that James and Bea are the ones to kill the people whom Sherlock has mercy on but who really need to die (or who Bea and James clandestinely refer to as "Spiders").

[rafflesandholmes]

I wrote a Young Sherlock fic, but it takes place after the show.

James thinks the absolute best idea when drunk and unable to find fault with Watson is to visit Sherlock.

[rafflesandholmes]

Sherlock: Mom! Bea stole my boyfriend!
