Venturing into Elementary fanfiction now..... I've actually had a couple different ideas for a while but I've been mostly staying in the Marvel and Harry Potter sandboxes (they're separate, they stay separate, that's how I roll) but anyway, I wrote a bit tonight.

Sherlock sat on the sofa, eyeing the two boys. Archie and Arthur, age 6 and 2, stared back from the chairs they were sitting in. "Your mothers will be back shortly."

They looked at each other and grinned at him.

"Your mothers have entrusted me to make sure you stay alive until they return." He told them, sternly.

"Is that why we're tied to the chairs?" Archie asked.

"No, you are tied to the chairs to see how long it takes you to untie yourselves. After that, we'll do another lesson."

"What if it takes a long time?" Archie gasped, "What if we have to pee?"

"Then you'll hold it until you're untied." Sherlock had decided to start the boys' education since Joan and Kitty had decided he could be left alone with them for an hour.

"I can't!" Arthur shouted. He wiggled against the fabric ties holding him in place. "Can't hold it!"

Archie sighed. "You didn't even have to go until I asked Uncle Sherlock what would happen."

"Yeah huh!" Arthur shouted again.

Archie sent Sherlock a look of exasperation. "He's such a baby sometimes."

Should I continue???

I finished watching Elementary the other day and I am not over how much Sherlock loves Arthur and Archie from the moment he’s told of their existance.

@foundfamilybingo​ platonic co-parenting with Sherlock Holmes and Joan and Arthur Watson.

Also on AO3

Arthur sits on the steps of the school building, staring at his knees and trying not to cry.

This boy, this 12 year old boy. Knowing him, it’s as if Sherlock’s heart is wondering around on the outside; it’s unlike any love he’s ever felt, even for Watson. 

“What happened?” he asks. Arthur snuffles. “Are you hurt?”

He shakes his head and doesn’t say anything. He called his mother, vague but clearly distressed and in need of early pick up from school, but her case had just hit a pivotal, time sensitive turn and so Sherlock came instead. He nods. “Let’s get you home.”

Arthur remains silent the whole way, running up to his room once inside. On the other side of the door, Sherlock hears him crying. 

“May I come in?”

”No!”

So he sits on the floor in the hallway and waits. And waits. When Watson gets home, he fills her in on Arthur and she informs him Arabella Ramos, former missing person, is alive and being treated in hospital.

“Arthur, honey?” She opens the door gently, Sherlock follows her in but keeps a distance. “What happened?”

”How can you love me?”

It’s as if someone stabbed that heart of his with a pen-knife.

”Arthur... how could I not love you?” She lies down next to him. “You’re my son. You’re the most beautiful boy in the world.”

“What happened?” Sherlock repeats, a hitch to his voice.

”Just”  —Arthur sucks in a breath, made difficult from all the crying— “kids at school.”

Sherlock sucks in a breath of his own, seeing red for a split second. “Kids can be so cruel.”

Joan’s face bares a similar devastation.

Sherlock joins the pair, lying down on his stomach. Only then does he notice his own tears.

They stay like that, a family, until long after Arthur falls asleep.
