#modern holmes

Alright. Im throwing this out there for ideas.

Ive seen the post that a Modern Sherlock holmes would use energy drinks rather than cocaine in the theme of medically agreed: bad but society agreed: mostly good that fits the use of cocaine in Europe.

So what sort of clothes would a modern sherlock holmes wear?

I know this is vast since we have no centralized form of fashion as we did in Victorian times (in western civilisation at least) but I am curious to know what you all suggest?

A cursed modern day young Sherlock Holmes adaptation where he’s an influencer who vapes and posts deductions on tiktok

Things I have researched tonight:

1. What degrees did Oxford University offer in 1860? (Verdict here is that Moran probably went into something to bolster his political skills for lordship)

2. When did James become Moriartys given name if he has a brother named James?! (Verdict here is that Doyle couldn't care less about continuity so brother gets a different name)

3. What name should Moriarty have since he's supposed to be a civilian professor? (Theres an Irish name Faolan that is pronounced like felon, and its hilarious to me so that is now his first name. It means wolf or warrior but the PUN)

And now, the villains! This isn't nearly as long of course

James Moriarty - Cillian Murphy

Again, I tried to go off vibes: someone who could be a soft professor in the day and a ruthless sociopath by night. (High functioning, if you will ROFLLLL) he's younger than Moran by a few years, but he's not super young either.

Sebastian Moran - Sebastian Roche

ALRIGHT LISTEN HERE.

My crush on this cinnamon roll of a man aside, he is the reason this au exists, because I was watching Fassbender mormor edits and saw one with Renner and. Few with Hiddleston and I very quickly got the plot bunny where Roche played Moran.

John Clay - Paul Bettany

Not much to say here, I just needed more named regular villains and there arent many notorious ones in Canon lol

Kitty Winters - Rachel Wiesz

Same for her. I know in Canon she's not a villain but.....I absconded with her because I like her.

Adelbart Gruner - Ralph Fiennes

...............

I dont have a defense really. He's pretty and I needed more villains

Sebastian Moran's serial number is now 24899817 and he joined the Army in 1991.

He is 0- because that way he can donate blood to Moriarty.

(I made dogtags for a cosplay and it took forever to figure out what to make his serial number, so im sharing it)

Do you remember when people had a collective hallucination and pretended that BBC Sherlock was the best modern Holmes iteration out there and were terrible to anyone who dared say otherwise?

Anyway, Elementary was always the better show and has aged much better, and isn't it funny how that protectiveness over a potential gay relationship between two white men (which would have been a very progressive move) apparently meant it was okay to be hideously misogynistic and racist because Joan Watson happened to be played by Lucy Liu and some folks were persuaded that there was going to be a romantic relationship between Joan and Sherlock, which would have been enough to warrant racism and misogyny, apparently?

Such an, err, interesting moment in Holmesian fandom history.

I'm trying to write a thing on why Joan and Sherlock should never become a pairing on the actual show, and why Johnlock is more likely to happen/should.

....But at the same time, I don't think Johnlock should happen on the screen so I think I need to change the angle of how I'm writing this.

you imagined, from other stories you've read, that you know it well, holmes/watson, ('09 versions), 5000 words, R, sequel to every part of your body rubs against the bricks, because i couldn't not, because this is the story i've wanted to write since i was twelve years old and i don't know where it's all coming from, but it's coming, and gyzym keeps telling me that if i've lost my mind it's in the best way, but i don't believe her, love her anyway, and i have to go to bed, it is so, so late.
