Hi Steph!!
You know some fics in wich Sherlock is an alien?
The idea popped up in my head yesterday but i don't know exactly how to search it on AO3.
Thank you!
Hi Nonny!
I do! These are the only "alienlock" fics I know of, though one is John-alien:
The Kepler Problem by kinklock (E, 24,270 w., 1 Ch. || Sci-Fi AU || Alien Sherlock, Space Repairman John, Alien Biology, Horny John) – Working in uncharted space exploration was not as exciting as John had hoped, especially when it turned out to be mostly bot maintenance on uninhabited planets. However, the mystery of the repeated, unexplained malfunctions on planet BAK 2212 might turn out to be exactly the kind of adventure he'd been craving.
The Semantics of Crop Circle Formation: a case study by Sherlock Holmes [unpublished] by canolacrush (M, 41,710 w., 9 Ch. || Post-S2, Sherlock POV First Person, Aliens, Wordplay, Case Fic) – “Look at these photographs,” I said, gesturing to the wall of crop circles. “What do you observe?” “Crop circles,” John replied. “Obvious. What else?” “Are…are those intestines surrounding them?” “Yes. The majority are bovine and ovine in origin. The farmers who have acquired these crop circles in their fields have also had a tenth of their livestock murdered and arranged thus.” “Why?” John said, presumably in a rhetorical fashion. I detest rhetorical questions. “That is what I must find out, John.”
Names for the Galaxy by evadne (E, 191,101 w., 38 Ch. || Future Sci-Fi AU || First Time, Violence, Teacher/Student Dynamics, Ableism, Angst, Bigotry, Disturbing Content, Amnesia) – Sherlock Holmes is a recent arrival to 22nd century earth, and determined to find out who he is and where he comes from. John Watson has the unenviable task of teaching him how to be a normal human being. Part 1 of the Names for the Galaxy series
====
And these fics are "alien adjacent" in a sense:
Captain John Watson, Genetics, and Other Crazy Things by cyerus (M, 5,581 w., 1 Ch. || Torchwood Crossover || Humour / Crack, Jealous Sherlock, Sexual Magnet John, Captain John, UST / RST, Three Continents Watson) – The explanation for John "Three Continents" Watson? Jack Harkness is his father. Sherlock doesn't know whether he's going to die from jealousy or sexual frustration first.
The Short Tragic Death of John Watson by Calais_Reno (M, 49,681 w., 9 Ch. || Actor / TV Show AU || John “Dies”, Victor Trevor, Past Drug Abuse, POV Sherlock, Suicidal John, Implied / Referenced Abuse, Acting, Pining Sherlock, Happy Ending) – Thirteen years ago, Sherlock starred in a television series about an alien boy stranded on Earth. Now Molly has written a reunion episode and he's expected to join his old costars and recreate the role of Alex Tribble, now an adult returning to rescue his old friends from an alien threat. Having had some success since playing a teenage alien, Sherlock is reluctant to reprise the role. And there's another problem no one wants to discuss: John Watson, who played his best friend, is dead.
If He Be Worthy by AndyHood (T, 58,110 w, 18 Ch. || Avengers / MCU Crossover || Friendship, Adventure) – In the aftermath of the alien invasion of London, Coulson's team is set out to retrieve a man, a man that had picked up Thor's hammer. John Watson hadn't meant to get mixed up in the alien invasion only intending to repay a favor. He had only been surveying the damage done by the aliens when he had tripped on a hammer, he didn't know the significance of being able to pick it up.
Perdition's Flames by i_ship_an_armada (E, 63,435 w., 21 Ch. || Treklock AU, Est. Rel, Genetic Engineering, Angst & Fluff, BAMF!John) – Sherlock would do anything to save him. Risk anything. Give anything. His money, his life. His soul. What he does, though, is change both of their destinies forever. Genetic re-engineering is the only option left. It turns out researchers underestimated the life expectancy and potential abilities of genetically re-engineered subjects. The British government and what would eventually become the United Federation of Planets, however, had not. Part 1 of PF Universe
Out There by DiscordantWords (T, 131,695 w., 10 Ch. || X-Files Fusion || Past Soldier John, Panic Attacks, POV Alternating Present Tense, Anxious John, Canon Adjacent, Deductions, Obsessive Sherlock,, Travelling, Sherlock’s Family, Jealous Sherlock, Mind Palace John, Awkward Flirting, Kidnapped/Abducted John, Semi-Reverse Reichenbach, Worried/Anxious Sherlock, Hospital, Slow Burn, UST, Case Fic, Government Conspiracy, Aliens, UFOs, Mutants, Mutual Pining, First Kiss, Coma John, Forehead Touching, Hand Holding, Drinking/Bars, Past Jolto) – FBI Special Agent John Watson, medical doctor and army veteran, is assigned to assist eccentric genius Sherlock Holmes with paranormal investigations on the X-Files project.

If anyone has something that they would love to suggest, please do!
Hi Mr. Holmes. I just asked Dr. Watson and I’d like to know your choose as well.
Would you rather deal with a zombie apocalypse or an alien invasion?
~D🦦🧛🏻
Alien invasion, of course. It's the more logical and safer choice.
A zombie apocalypse is something infectious, which could potentially also infect myself, most likely a viral infection or a chemical agent turning people into half dead cannibals, making them even more stupid and brainless than they already are. And I would rather not turn into such a thing. There are already viruses which are pretty similiar to a zombie virus, like rabies, as it is transmitted through saliva and bites, and basically dissolves your brain, leading to behavioural changes and aggression, and killing you in the end. Also some synthetic designer drugs like synthetic cathinones e.g. Flakka sometimes make people seem like zombies with erratic behaviour. And prion disease dissolves your brain as well.
But an alien invasion would most likely not include an infectious disease, well except if the aliens release something to exterminate humanity, or if the disease itself is extraterrestrial. And aliens are often depicted as more logical than humans, so I would probably get along with them pretty well. And if they want to destroy humanity, why not? I mean look at the state of humanity and the planet, might do some good for the environment. Who doesn't get the urge to destroy humanity now and then, especially when you have to interact with stupid people? People tell me I am like an alien all the time, so maybe we could become pals.
For @meetinginsamarra :
Dunno if it's been asked before: for the WIP game, what about Starlock?
Ty bestie! 🌟
This one was inspired by @kitten-kin 's alien lock ... and an over the top 80s film I love to hate:
Sherlock's fall to earth one starry night lands him near the home of one John H Watson ...
He decides to take on the form of a human to communicate with the species. A species that appears to cry a lot watching home videos for some reason ... ?
Sherlock takes on the opposite form of what he sees on the telly. In hopes it will make John happy.
Only ... he doesn't quite get humans, or how this all works ...
Hilarity and *hopefully* some romance ensues.
(Yes, I'm obsessed with old cinema lol and MINE WON'T HAVE A SH*TTY ENDING, DO YOU HEAR ME JOHN CARPENTER?? Sorry, I'm better now. 😏😉) haha
Alienlock doodle. I seriously suck at drawing John...
Hey I was hoping you could help me find a fic I read a long time ago? I remember it was a scifi alien AU where I think humans would randomly disappear into thin air and these aliens who looked nearly like humans would appear in their place with amnesia. John was like a welcoming mentor for the aliens to help them adjust to Earth and he got assigned Sherlock. Have you heard of it? Thanks so much, I really can't find it!
Hello! Sorry for answering this so late but I’m pretty sure that is this one
Description: Sci-fi AU. Sherlock Holmes is a recent arrival to 22nd century earth, and determined to find out who he is and where he comes from. John Watson has the unenviable task of teaching him how to be a normal human being.
Rating: Explicit
I’ll also link you to @kinklock’s alien au/alienlock fic rec list if you want some more like it!
Hi!
I found this fic on one of your lists, The Kepler Problem by kinklock.
I thought, it was on a list of asexual Sherlock fics, so I wondered while reading it (because they are not in this fic) but maybe I‘ve confused lists. Anyway, the author‘s name might have given it away.
I just wanted you to know, how much I enjoyed it! So thank you for pointing it out and you, author, for making it.
The description of Sherlock, the alien, is astonishing. Is there a cover for this fic? It really deserves one. With his lapislazuli skin. I can‘t really draw, else I would be head over heals drawing one :)
Hi Lovely!
First, the fic you're referencing:
The Kepler Problem by kinklock (E, 24,270 w., 1 Ch. || Sci-Fi AU || Alien Sherlock, Space Repairman John, Alien Biology, Horny John) – Working in uncharted space exploration was not as exciting as John had hoped, especially when it turned out to be mostly bot maintenance on uninhabited planets. However, the mystery of the repeated, unexplained malfunctions on planet BAK 2212 might turn out to be exactly the kind of adventure he'd been craving.
Secondly, I don't think it was on my ace Sherlock list, I believe it was on one of my AU lists, hahah (both start with A, it's all good!! <3)
I'm so glad you enjoyed the story! I also surprisingly loved it, it's just a lot of fun!
I'm not sure about a cover, but give me one sec and I'll see if I can find the fanart I'm remembering that people did for it...
Yeah here we are, these are the two I remember:
This Piece by Katzensprotte
This one by cyborgcatfromouterspace
If anyone has more, please add them, I'm SURE there's at LEAST another one where Sherlock is walking on all his appendages carrying John, but I can't remember who did that one.
Hope those satisfy! <3
i was growing to accept that you didnt know that the earth goes round the sun but mr harry styles is basic human knowledge.
hes a very lovely singer and hes about 6'0. he has very pretty eyes and an even prettier smile.
he has three whole albums (not including the ones from 1D!!) which have all done pretty well. im probably biased though.
he's also an actor, or trying to become an actor (hes doing so good!!). he was in icarly (when he was 18-19 haha) and dunkirk a couple years back. this year he's got TWO films lined up: my policeman, which is about a queer relationship in the 60s, and dont worry darling, which is a psychological horror!! its a little like the truman show
i've seen him once in concert and i have all his cds!! i have some of his merch, but i cant afford any more lol
i could go on for years about him, to be honest!! i absolutely adore him.
hope you enjoyed reading this frickin essay of a comment :)
How 'interesting'.... if you might wonder why I do not possess basic human knowledge, it is because I am not human.
