Well, everyone, today is my fourth anniversary on AO3, and I can't believe it's already been that long! It feels like just yesterday I was learning the ropes of fanfic writing and Tumblr, and now I have an entire group of friends, a whole bunch of dedicated readers who keep coming back, and an amazing beta that deserves all the love and respect in the world. You do such great work, @ineffableobikin, and I'm so grateful to have you. And so, I raise my metaphorical glass to all of you, the readers, friends, and followers who made my life worth living 🥂
To celebrate, I created a poll for everyone to vote on the most deserving ship to be the subject of this year's anniversary fic. Keep in mind that Johnlock won last year, and it would be nice to have some variety.

One of my favourite johnlock panels hsgshshsjshshs LOOK AT THEIR MATCHING GLASSES.
you have heard "be gay, do crime"
now, i present to you...
be gay, solve crime
Johnlock deniers can ignore the eyesex and the obvious flirting and the handholding, but they can't ignore Sherlock running to save John's life and going through literal fire to get to him while his FIANCEE just screams.
Imagine if John discovered smutty Johnlock fics and this was his reaction:
And meanwhile Sherlock reading the same fics in secret:
How to act after your boyfriend said you can't smoke anymore:
Harpoon a dead pig, apparently
Become dramatic when you don't have a new case IMMEDIATELY after solving one
Order him to get you some cigarettes
Beg him to get you some cigarettes
Call for your landlady who's NOT your housekeeper to find them
Bribe him with lottery numbers
Throw yourself on the floor to search for them
The pain in his eyes hurts me. It's like he's trying to say, "Marry me instead, John. Love me instead, John. Choose me instead, John", but he can't because he wants John to be happy.
