My personal Sherlolly fanfic bests so far...: Updated 2016

MizJoely has recently shared a list of her favourite fics. (Thanks Miz for providing the link!) Mine has been made from a slightly different angle. So I thought it might be a nice companion. I started making this list in 2014 and updated it in 2015. The one I'm sharing with you now is the one I had in my draft box, untouched since maybe April 2016. So anything published after that are not included, not because I don't like them. I simply didn't have time to follow them. 

There are some new additions and a couple of new categories. They are in bold. Please reblog if you like it! Many many thanks!

***************************************************************************************************

This list is based on my personal preferences. Also I haven’t read ALL Sherlolly stories. (Who can?) So the list is never intended to be authoritative or exhaustive.

The stories with an asterisk are not complete. (M) indicates respective author’s own rating, some for explicit sexual expression, others for some other reasons.

irisang replied to your post “irisang replied to your video Sounds good :P makes me feel...”

don't know a word of it. But it sure sounds sweet!

it’s basically about how when everything feels bleh, when his girlfriend smiles there’s a little bit of light and a little bit of peace in the world

[oobs-kenoobs]

irisang replied to your video

Sounds good :P

makes me feel nostalgic for a girlfriend i never had?? idk, it’s just a sweet song

[oobs-kenoobs]

irisang replied to your post:i will never not be pissed about my psychologist...

Change a therapist ASAP!! Really, for your own wellbeing!!

oh i don’t go to her anymore. she was exactly 0% helpfull

[mousedetective]

put a word in my askbox: kittens

I was not really a pet person until recently. A part of the reason I had so much trouble regaining custody of my son is when the social worker who was working in collusion with foster parents who wanted to adopt my son when he was a toddler was in charge, one of my mom’s cats had kittens and my mom wouldn’t get rid of any of them, so we ended up with, like, eight cats in the house and weren’t doing the best job taking care of things (when you have two women, one with not well treated bipolar and one with untreated bipolar, it happens). So I was really anti-cat for a looooong time. But I recently rescued two kittens in the last few months from conditions where they would have died, Molly and Sally, and I love both of them a lot, so I think I’m over the bitterness. Plus I’m much better medicated now so I’m better at making sure they’re well taken care of. And Sally is a big help for my mental health, so that’s a good thing.

Put a word inside my inbox and I’ll tell you a fact about myself based off that word

[sincerelydayyy]

Happy birthday! 💓

THANKS! <3

irisang replied to your post “I just want to say that normally, when it comes to things I signal...”

That reblog message is so bloody fucked up!

Yeah, that really aggravated me. I mean, if you disagree with a post like that, just ignore it. Don’t sit there and shame someone trying to get out of a situation they find harmful for their mental and possibly physical health. You don’t know the full situation and if it’s something that’s too painful or uncomfortable to talk about for whatever reason that should be respected. I mean, I’m a pretty open person about the crud that’s gone on in my life but I’ve also spent years and years and years in therapy so that’s helped. Not everyone has been so lucky.
