Graceful like a gazelle...

Or what's the name of the big grey animal with a long nose?

I take it you are referring to Elephantidae, which I will take as a compliment, given they are the most intelligent non-human animal and have astounding memories. Maybe elephants have a mind palace of their own, it must be enormous in that big skull.

If we are looking for an animal that represents my grace, I would either suggest a big cat that can climb well with amazing balance that can even survive falls from high heights in the mountains, such as the snow leopard.

Or if we are talking herbivores, I think my gracefullness can be compared to the Lipizzan horses. Those horses are artists in high classical dressage, haute ecole, the best in the world and experts at performing capriole, the most difficult jump.

I do not think there is anything more graceful than that. Well except me of course.

Heya Steph! I was wondering if you know of any fics where either John and/or Sherlock are animals? No werewolf fics though, I've read too many of them recently 😅

Hey Lovely!

Ahhh, not many! I thought I had a tag for it but apparently not, LOL. Here’s what I have tagged on my lists, feel free to add more, friends! AND if you’re inclined, I do have a Shapeshifters AU list <3 Sorry I know most of these are “them turned into animals”, but I don’t have many LOL

There he meets Sherlock Holmes.

TO READ:

When Greg Lestrade finds out, he refuses to let Mycroft face a toddler alone.

Gone Is My Past by cyerus (T, 7,800 w., 1 Ch. || Shapeshifter AU || Animal Transformations, Non-Explicit Self Harm, Angst, Dog John) – John is an army bomb detection dog who has been turned into a human. Angst. No, really, angst.

Sherlock's Tiny Companion by Noxtorious (G, 26,811+ w., 21/? Ch. || WiP || Animal AU || Dog John, Fluff) – Mycroft comes bearing a gift, much to Sherlock's dismay. He doesn't want it, but there's no choice in the matter. He comes into possession of a puppy that was bred for military work, but was put out of commission. The last thing Sherlock wanted was a flatmate, but at least little John Watson can't speak. Instead, he is annoyingly expressive and follows Sherlock everywhere! Not only that, Sherlock has to deal with annoying Yarders, an even more than annoying brother, a really snaky and over intelligent puppy and cases. Before the end of the day, Sherlock is pretty sure he is going to lose it

While they wait for the scientists to find a solution, he and Sherlock must re-examine the nature of their friendship as they navigate daily life and the Work, all while trying to answer the truly important questions: Is it okay to pet your flatmate if he happens to be a dog at the moment? And how exactly do you beg a self-professed sociopath for cuddles? Part 1 of Dog Days

The Hybrid by brilliantboffins (E, 148,455+ w., 46 Ch. || WiP || Cat/Human Hybrid Sherlock AU || Hurt/Comfort, Fluff and Angst, Past Sexual Abuse, Mentions of Rape, Blow Jobs, Switchlock, Drug Use, Rape/Non-Con Elements, Violence, Rimming) – Invalided home from Afghanistan, John ends up buying a cat hybrid.
