okay so while i am working on commissions i wanted to share a pet au project i have long thought about
its a sherlock holmes au
set in 1992
in the united states (blasphemous, i know)
in newark, new jersey
sherlock aquillo holmes is a late-20s failed ballerina, drug addict, and (brilliant) PI who lives in a shitty apartment with a lot of keith haring posters
his hot new roommate dr. john watson is a super-liberal gulf war vet and aspiring novelist who works at the local planned parenthood in a strip mall
holmes has an aquamarine house phone that he answers case calls on with a 20ft cord (perfect for pacing as he talks to all-around skeptical woman and local chief of police Lestrade)
sometimes they take a cab to NYC for the Big Cases
and eat lots of shitty food
holmes plays violin...and drums...and bass...and the theramin...and sometimes the kazoo when he wants to annoy watson
Mycroft is a wall street trader who made it Gordon-Gecko big in the eighties
together holmes and watson solve crimes and fall in love
the chilito burrito debuted from taco bell in 1992 <3
