Hi! Happy future hollidays! How have you been?

I have a question, thought you would know the answer maybe?

I have been reading a lot of +5k words, and the topic of John's abusive father came a lot, and this one I actually already read your why is that. But what I can't possibly think of an explanation is: some fics portray the Holmes parents as very rigid, cold or even as (forgot my words sorry) ignoring their child's needs (oh it's negligent). Tho I clearly remember them in S4 being so sweet? Would you know why?

Thanks for your wonderful work! Absolutely making my days better since 2018 (I think)

Hey Lovely!

Ah... I don't really habe a good answer, other than a lot of clues Pre-S4 linked John to possibly having an abusive past, or at least a homophobic one which caused his repression.

As for Sherlock, I think you're thinking of S3 Holmes family (because S4 they did a complete 180 it seems with pretending Eurus never existed [which, I mean, FAIR, none of us wanted her there]), but up until S3, no one really knew who they were, and I think it was mostly playing on the fact that Sherlock is very post, ergo was brought up in a very posh society and in turn his family was probably "proper genteel English" that you see portrayed on TV and whatnot. Really it was all up for interpretation, so when Mummy and Daddy Holmes show up on screen in S3, we're thrown for a loop and wonder how the hell these two parents gave us Mycroft and Sherlock, LOL.

Honestly I think it's all just more fanon interpretation than anything else, but I'm not 100 on this.

If anyone has further insight, please do add it here, I'm always a sucker for collecting more lore <3

That said, thank you SO MUCH for your kind words, wow I am HONOURED that you are a long-time fan of my blog, nearly the ENTIRE length I've been here! WOW. Thank you so much <3

P.S. All of my fanfics will not have any sort of sexual things, so if you are an ace or a demisexual or if you just don't like reading smut, I got you. Please proceed without any concern of suddenly finding yourself reading something you might find inappropriate. 💜🤍🖤💚

But, it might have some romantic gestures for example, hand holding and cheek or forehead kisses, so if you don't prefer to read some romantic things, you might find it a bit awkward.

Mrs Holmes: Eurus tried to kill her brother again!

Mr. Holmes: I don't know whether we should ground her or call a doctor.

Mrs. Holmes: You should definitely call a doctor! I'll ground her.

Mummy & Daddy Holmes

[watson-holmes221b]

I really like the idea of stay at home dad Holmes. A sweet little house husband while his genius wife goes out and does her wonderous maths he cares little for.

Daddy Holmes probably has a collection of aprons as large as John's vault of jumpers

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, The Sign of the Four

[theemptyquarto]

There’s a new quartermaster, they said.  Quite the change, they said. 

And indeed they were right, he thought, as he opened the door to the supply office in Leconfield House.  Wheat blonde hair shingled just below the chin, sky-blue eyes, cheekbones that could cut glass and mile-long legs under a sinfully short skirt.

“Oh, hallo, you are an improvement,” he drawled.

She blinked those big blue eyes at him slowly, and said, “Ah, you’re here.  Good.”

“Delighted to meet you.  The name’s Holmes.  Siger Hol-“

But she’d interrupted him, holding a hand up and looking back down at her paperwork, “No, stop, I really don’t care to learn the names of double-ohs, there’s no point to it, it just makes you think of them as people and get sentimental about what happens to them.”

“Ah,” he said.  It was unusual for any woman to be able to put him on his back foot, but...

“Now, 008,” the woman began, “Do you care to justify why you left a Jaguar XKE with fifty thousand pounds worth of MI5 adaptions on the bottom of the Seine?”

Her name, he eventually learned, was Marian.  But in his heart of hearts he always thought of her as “Q,” ever after.
