A kid fic possibly involving classic Disney
I am so sorry it took so long to write! This is more about Sherlock and Sherlock/Molly's kids than Sherlolly, so I hope you enjoy it.
The Disneyfication Of Sherlock Holmes - As Sherlock Holmes starts a family, he finds Disney encroaching on his life, for the better.
Sherlock had many favorite things. He even, surprisingly, had a favorite Disney film, and it wasn’t surprising that it was “Fantasia.” Before he and Molly had had children, they were lucky enough to see a screening of “Fantasia 2000” at a garden movie night event. But he had no idea how enmeshed Disney was going to become to him as a parent.
When his firstborn was a baby, Molly would sing Disney songs to her, and he would listen in as often as he could. Eventually, it got to the point he started to ask which movies the songs were from. He was soon being sat down, watching “Snow White and the Seven Dwarves” and “Cinderella” all the way up to “Encanto” and the newer releases. He began to have his favorites, and soon when Bridget cried at night he would wake up and put on a movie for them to settle in and watch together.
Of course, he was still Sherlock Holmes, and he would talk through the dialogue parts and be silent during the musical scenes. He would dance around with Bridget in his arms and sing along to some of the songs he liked, though he knew not as well as Molly. And then by the time his second child, a son, was born, he was an ardent Disney fan.
At first, he had stuck only to the musical animated Disney movies, and then he moved to the live-action musicals when Timothy’s tastes seemed to not run towards animation. He found Timothy had a fondness for “Bedknobs and Broomsticks” and “Mary Poppins,” even though both had animation sequences in them. He was partial to “Mary Poppins,” himself, but he watched whatever seemed to turn Timothy’s mood around.
His third child was unlike their siblings; she only wanted to watch “Fantasia” and “Fantasia 2000,” and listen to the classical music her father played on the violin. By the time Francesca was born, Bridget was old enough to pick her own movies, and Timothy could voice his opinion loudly and clearly, so there was often fighting over what to watch. The “Fantasia” movies were the only ones that everyone could agree on, and it started to get to the point where if he heard “Pomp and Circumstance” one more time his head might explode. Apparently, there was such a thing as too much of a good thing.
The flat started to have plushes of Disney characters, pictures on the walls, and characters on clothing. He even started to plan for a trip to Walt Disney World when the children were older and would remember it. Disney had thoroughly invaded his life, but there was one genre of Disney movies he had yet to try watching.
When the children were asleep, instead of watching trash telly to pass the time, they would watch old films starting from the ones put out in the 1950s and 1960s that were live-action without having music. He could appreciate why Hayley Mills had been so beloved, and he had to admit that many of the movies still held up even now. “The Moon-Spinners” was one of his favorites.
As his children were growing up on Disney, he was growing older with them, finding a simple love stirring inside him for the many creative minds that made the movies that he found himself thoroughly enjoying. And he started to feel his own creative juices stirring as well.
Molly and John surprised him with video and sound equipment to record himself playing Disney songs on the violin to post on YouTube. By the time he had posted a few videos and gotten a bit of a following, Bridget had gotten proficient enough at the piano to accompany him on some of the songs. They performed in front of their family, and Molly, Timothy, and Francesca had their own fans of the videos when the unexpected happened in the videos.
When Bridget was ten, Timothy was eight and Francesca was five they had all joined in on the videos, with Timothy playing the flute and the family discovering Francesca was a prodigy at the drums. It was with amazement that many people realized the father of the Holmes Family Players, performing Disney-inspired compositions, was none other than Sherlock Holmes, formerly famous consulting detective. He had definitely turned over a new life as a family man, and it suited him well.
They went to Disneyland when Bridget was thirteen, and it was a most memorable family vacation. They all got matching mouse ear hats, embroidered with their names on the back. Dole Whip and frozen bananas were eaten aplenty, and they went to both parks and went on every ride at least twice. Sherlock had thought he would be tired walking around the parks four days in a row, but it was as much a treat for him and Molly as it was for the children.
It was with much surprise that two and a half months after the trip, Molly found herself pregnant. It was figured that she got pregnant on the trip, and when Belle was born six and a half months later, named after Molly’s favorite Disney princess, her nursey was kitted in Disney paraphernalia all related to “Beauty and the Beast.”
As he watched, his children shared their love of Disney with their sister, through music and movies and books and all the other ways they had loved Disney as they had grown up. Belle was their special little princess, and they all adored her the most, especially since Molly had said for children was enough. She was a light in their lives, just like Belle had been a light in the Beast’s life.
Even though Sherlock made fewer appearances in the videos once Belle was born, his children continued, making their own compositions as Timothy picked up the violin like his father. Now he got to sit back and watch his children star in the limelight, making their own name as Disney music aficionados. As a family, they enjoyed the movies, with much chatter during the dialogue parts and staying quiet during the music parts. And as a family, they bonded, becoming closer and Sherlock, for one, was very happy.
