a little reminder! by annalaura_art

and if i were to say “being alive” from company was a song for sherlock holmes to put john watson into words what then

someone to crowd you with love,

someone to force you to care,

someone to make you come through,

who’ll always be there, as frightened as you,

of being alive

and if i said i wasn’t done, if i said “being alive” from company was also a song for john watson to put sherlock holmes into words right back what THEN

somebody hold me too close

somebody hurt me too deep,

somebody sit in my chair and ruin my sleep,

and make me aware of being alive

what then

The duo ever

caninisjohnlocked

Okay so imagine your best friend who you’ve been living with for over two years was in a coma and he almost died because one of your shared enemies shot him right and as he was losing consciousness he kept repeating your name over and over again (despite the fact that his other closest friends were also there) and it was almost the last thing he ever said and while he’s in the coma (which you still believe you could have prevented btw) you set out to find the person who shot him so that he can be brought to justice which leads you to be in a situation where you almost die right and so you tell your other best friend to tell him you love him when he wakes up from the coma and you say that if he too doesn’t make it you’ll tell him yourself. Anyways you survive and the night afterwards you finally manage to get to the man who shot him and you and your other best friend almost die (again) but your friend woke up from the coma while you were gone and comes to save you so in the end you’re all okay and happy. And then about two weeks later said best friend has his [insert whichever multisexuality label you headcanon him as here] awakening from your fucking BROTHER. I’d be so fucking pissed

not to immediately just talk more about mycroft and sherlock but

“[Incredible exasperated noise] Maybe that’s why I find Mum so exhausting. She’s just another Sherlock Holmes… That was a joke, little one.”

“I know.”

“I like your friends.”

there’s something about the emphasis mycroft puts on that sentence, it’s not “i like your friends” as though he’s surprised sherlock has them or that he’s implying that those friends must find sherlock similarly exhausting because, well, he’s Sherlock Holmes, why wouldn’t they?

it’s “i like your friends,” it’s reassurance, in an awkward, roundabout older sibling way - suave, self-assured mycroft being genuine, within the parameters of the relationship they have now - it’s “your friends clearly like what they see in you” and “they’re different to us, and perhaps that’s good” and “just because something’s been broken here it’s not something inherently found in the way you’re built that’s broken it”. it’s “i’m glad you have somebody, little one, when we both know it hasn’t been (and can’t be) me.”

i’m overthinking mycroft in a really major way but as an older sibling……………. this exchange was Huge

(also it’s laying foundations for TFP in a way that’s making me a liiiiittle nervous)

“That’s a joke, little one.” “I know.”

“So what is it, little one? Am I a workaholic or a lazy sun worshipper?”

LITTLE ONE.

and there’s no “Don’t call me that,” there’s no indication it’s a new nickname, Sherlock just Is “little one”.

GOD

YES EXACTLY!!! Sherlock doesn't even argue about it like he does for EVERYTHING else! He's just "little one" and that's AMAZING

shesandback

sometimes a 6’2 man in his mid thirties is “little one” and that’s very important to me

“That’s a joke, little one.” “I know.”

“So what is it, little one? Am I a workaholic or a lazy sun worshipper?”

LITTLE ONE.

and there’s no “Don’t call me that,” there’s no indication it’s a new nickname, Sherlock just Is “little one”.

GOD

Modern Holmes and Watson meet on a site for goth singles.

byjove

Holmes bringing Tripp pants wearing Watson home after knowing him for all of 20 hours and being like “this is Dr. Watson, he’s going to shack up here now” and Mrs. Hudson being like “oh fuck not another one”

byjove

Holmes cannot drive/refuses to get a license and he says it’s because he doesn’t want the government to have his photo (makes no sense bc he has a passport) but really it’s because he doesn’t trust himself. Watson is buried in student loans from medical school and drives a 1976 AMC Gremlin that is barely street legal. Mrs. Hudson has been divorced 6 times and lies about Holmes being her dependent son on her taxes, she also chain smokes.

Sherlock lies about Mycroft being the manager of Barnes and Noble because he can’t bring himself to admit his brother genuinely works for the United States government. Mycroft and Sherlock were raised in Georgia. Sherlock has the worst southern accent imaginable. Watson is from the Bronx.

Holmes is very kind and polite especially to women and children but says the most off the wall shit imaginable sometimes and Watson still can’t tell if he is genuinely a flat earther. Also there is a running gang where Holmes pretends he’s never read a book of literary merit in his life and doesn’t know who Shakesphere or Mary Shelley or Lord Byron are.

Holmes keeps talking about violins and his incredible love for them but Watson has never seen him play one or proof that he even owns one.

byjove

Holmes accidentally sets his bed on fire with a Bunsen burner and has to sleep in Watson’s bed for the rest of the season. Holmes finally gets a new bed but Watson sets his own bed on fire with a malfunctioning vape pen. They decide having one bed is enough.

what was going on with me last night huh

byjove

Watson and Mary invite Holmes into their polycule and then Holmes has to fake his death and disappear for 3 years, by the time he’s come back Watson and Mary have gotten married and divorced.

byjove

Holmes wears a stupid ass deer stalker and Inverness cape he bought at Spirit Halloween but only when he’s thinking hard because he’s certain it makes him feel smarter. Everyone knows not to bother him when he has his ugly fucking hat on.

byjove

Holmes is a very big Solar Pons fan.

byjove

Irene Adler is a very popular opera singer who Holmes is a big fan off and she calls him “little buddy” in this adaption so the audience knows he’s firmly in the friend zone where he belongs.

byjove

Violet Hunter isn’t truly named Violet, that’s just her nickname because she has very cool purple hair.

byjove

Mrs. Hudson was Holmes’s school nurse when he was in boarding school and she was the only one who liked him there. She’s a privately wealthy heiress and she doesn’t like children but she took the job because her husband at the time owned the school.

byjove

Holmes IS a classically trained violinist but he’s kind of shy about it. He prefers to play it like a fiddle.

I think the funniest part about this post is that Sherlock Holmes would not at all be a weird name for a modern guy from the Deep South.
