Hello yes, I have been assaulted by thoughts. May I present you all with this Sherlock x The Magnus Archives au that just kind of *vaguely gestures* writes itself???

Main character knows shit he absolutely shouldn't by normal human standards, mystery genre with suspense, it's even set in London for God's sake. Enter the headcanons.

The Holmes Siblings

• Family serves The Eye and keeps relations with other avatars.

• Not blood related, like the Fairchilds. Holmes is just a name, but they were raised together.

• The Holmes kidnapped them when they were very young because they had an interest in gifted children, similar to the institute in tmagp.

• Mycroft was brought in last to keep an eye on the other two, he is still the oldest.

• Timelinewise the family attempts a ritual that goes wrong. "Uncle" Ruddy, head of the family, dies in the attempt and Eurus is weakened to a debilitating state. Also goes a little insane due to the Eye's influence.

• The Holmes run what is basically The Institute.

• The Diogenes Institute has close ties with the Yard, the government and royal family. One could even say they run most of them.

• Sherlock is basically the Archivist. Barely acts the part. Obsessed with closing open cases.

• Basically works alone untill he meets Lestrade and later on John, with the rare exception of Molly being included.

• The archives are in utter disarray. This is not on purpose, it is just his way.

• Out of the three, Sherlock is by far the one that abuses the Eye's power the most. He does feed it but he uses it to exhaustion.

• This is the reason Mycroft is still a motherhen.

• Mycroft is head of the institute.

• Has the most control over the Eye's powers. He does feed it a lot. Having access to the entirety of London's cctv feed does help.

Yes, I am writing Sherlock BBC aus in the year of our lord 2025. No, I am not finished.

Askbox is open in case anybody is curious.

So, i just watched young sherlock and

1. Everyone has met a 'Sir' bucephalus hodge who constantly takes credit for everyone else's work.

2. I really think they should stop giving Sherlock a sister. Like, ok it's supposed be this long lost sibling/dark family secret/badass woman is victorian era trope. But it is possible to make that character without making her the sister [i mean look at Xiao Wei. She's so awesome, i don't have enough words. She went from a village cut off from the outside world to victorian age Uma Thurman in Kill Bill (idk how to properly describe her so please settle for this, it's a compliment)].

The point is, it feels like they're trying to be woke or feminist or whatever by giving us a 'female Sherlock' but it falls short.

Addendum: if you want a female sherlock, just make sherlock a woman. The Japanese adaptation did that and even though it was short, it was awesome.

3. I really REALLY wish that Cordelia Holmes had gone full rage mode on Silas. This asshole faked her daughter's death, abused (at least emotionally but i also believe physically because Mycroft flinched because of him) her children, practically stole her wealth, and locked her up in an ASYLUM. WHERE SHE WAS ELECTROCUTED AND TORTURED.

4. They did Mycroft a bit dirty. Like, this is the softest most loving iteration i have seen of him and he deserved to be treated better. I get that he is exasperating. But, he was also a child. As the elder child, he must have been so scared AND AWARE of what was happening during Beatrice's death. And it's clear he has shouldered the burden of protecting his brother and mother as best as he could, POSSIBLY PROTECTING THEM FROM HIS OWN FATHER.

5. They wrote Beatrice with too little depth. She goes through so much emotional trauma and we never really see a lot of emotion from her. She's clearly capable of emotion but she's written to be so ... unbothered? by everything that's happened. I really wish they had shown her spiral and be traumatised by the truth and her father's manipulation and see her confront her reality.

Thank you for reading my ramblings

Apparently, now every time I rewatch something I have to do this because nothing has ever been funnier than these texts. So here you go, bbc Sherlock's version.

Top 5 horror stories of my life:

1. "No nightingales"

2. "You never had a dog"

3. "And to tell you the truth, Tom"

4. "Accessing Bill Potts. Locating Bill Potts. I am Bill Potts"

5. "Alexander, there's a letter for you" "It's from John Laurens, I'll read it later" "No,it's from his father"

I do not accept Eurus as canon.

I will not be elaborating on this point.
