SHERLOCK MASTERLIST
Boy, these are some of the worst people you’d want as a yandere.
Sherlock Headcanons
He is all about “protecting” you.
Sherlock is intimately familiar with the depravity of human nature. He understands, better than anyone else - certainly better than you - how utterly savage, and awful human beings are.
He knows the statistical average of how many serial killers are currently at large in London. He knows the average of how many murderers, rapists, thieves, and so forth, currently operate in London. He knows these facts by heart, and it is with this knowledge that he acts.
You didn’t understand, he told you. You didn’t see the truth of human nature, the horror of it.
It was why he had to protect you. He had to be with you every time you left the flat. He had to make sure no one would try to take you, try to hurt you.
He knew humans, and you did not.
It was why you didn’t notice that cashier!
That cashier who stared at you too long must have been dangerous. Sherlock could tell immediately, and that was why he had to get you out of there. He had to get you back home, where it was safe, and then he had to make sure that the cashier would never, ever, hurt you.
And when he got home, and told you it was time to move far, far, away it would be best if you did not argue.
Arguing might mean that Sherlock would have to take drastic actions to keep you safe.
Like drugging you.
Tying you up.
Throwing you into a trunk, and taking you far, far away.
It would safest to go along with Sherlock to this “far, far away” home that he had prepared. A place so isolated the two of you could finally live in peace. There was no need for neighbors, or a town. Everything could be delivered - and Sherlock would always be the one to pick up the mail, or answer the door.
You had no need to see your family, or friends again. They could not be trusted.
You could work from home, or not at all and let Sherlock provide for the two of you.
You really only needed him, he said.
Sherlock only wanted to keep you safe, after all.
So surely, for him, you could let him?
“Stay here with me, stay safe with me.”
Mycroft Headcanons
He would be a “control” focused yandere.
It’s important to know that Mycroft knows best. He knows what you want and need better than you do!
He’ll commit all of your favorite things to memory, and surprise you with them.
But when things get sour - as all relationships do at some point - Mycroft isn’t afraid to make the necessary precautions to keep you safe, happy, and his.
Even if that would mean locking you away in some far off location, and only he would keep the key. For your happiness, he would tell you what to eat, when to eat, when to sleep, what to wear, what to read... everything in your life would be orchestrated by him.
Because Mycroft knows best.
Fighting back would be hard, and dangerous. This man has so many connections that it’s doubtful you would ever be free from him. Even if his brother chose to help you, it’s no guarantee.
If you do choose to still fight back and try to escape, you will be met with clinical fury.
He just wants you to understand that he’s only trying to help you. He needs you to accept his help, or he might start to lose his temper with you.
While it’s highly unlikely he’ll go so far as to kill you, he very well may do what he can to break your mind.
He knows best, so he knows how to take care of you... including a catatonic, traumatized version of you.
So accept his help. Play your part. Obey his every command, and he’ll treat you like a prized possession.
He loves you more than anyone else in the world, after all.
Only he could take such good care of you.
Only he could have you.
“My own little doll.”
Moriarty Headcanons
This guy is d a n g e r o u s
Murder-suicide is an honest ending for Yandere!Moriarty and you, so you have to be extremely careful with this guy.
He won’t let you leave. There is absolutely no option for you to leave him once he’s got you. He’ll invite you up to his home (and it will filled with special rooms in case you disobey him) and then you simply won’t be allowed to leave.
It’s not like he thinks he’s protecting you or anything (because he knows he’s the most dangerous man out there). But he will not tolerate the idea of someone else looking at you, let alone being with you. He wants you all to himself.
He’ll eliminate anyone who tries to search for you. Family, friends, coworkers, officers… it doesn’t matter. Within days you won’t exist to the outside world and anyone who would have remembered you would be dead and buried.
There won’t even be a single picture of you on the internet.
As long as you behave he’ll treat you like royalty. He’ll buy whatever you want as long as it’s not something he disapproves of.
He demands absolute obedience. Even one murmur of disobedience will be systematically punished. He won’t want to mar your precious skin, but he can be extremely cruel in other ways.
He’ll be very affectionate, though. He’ll wake you up with kisses and take you dancing around his penthouse. He’ll cuddle with you, hold you, and watch movies with you. He’ll go out of his way to make you smile (as long as you don’t ever fight him or try to leave.)
This guy is not above breaking you to get his way. If you resist too much he’ll b u r n you. He will ruin you to the point that you literally cannot live without him. And if by some miracle you retain a will to fight against him he’ll kill you and then himself.
If you’re able to have children he’ll probably want to rush a child on you, because that’ll be an easy way for him to control you.
No more than one, though, because he doesn’t want to share you too much.
When The King Meets The Killer Kitty (Moriarty X Reader)
The door to my cell hissed open, three men walking in quickly. Two I recognised as workers of Sherringford. The other, I’d never seen before. He was a short man, black hair slicked back and a smart suit to match. He had headphones in, leading to a phone in his front pocket. He had a smug smile on his face and clever dark eyes that bore into me from the moment he stepped inside. Whoever he was, he must have known what he was doing. I don’t get visitors for a reason.
"And what you in for darlin'?" He was Irish, surprisingly. His voice was slow and calm. I stood up and followed him as he paced along the glass partition separating me and freedom.
"Won't you like to know," I smirked at the unassuming man on the other side of the class. "There's a sheet on the door if you can't read I suggest you go back to Mommy and learn,"
The man scoffed and laughed a little to himself then stepped closer to the glass wall in front of me.
"Names Moriarty,"
"Didn't ask," I replied nonchalantly.
"You are a snappy little kitten aren't you!"
"Look, Moriarty, I don't know who you are and honestly I do not care," I stepped closer to the glass till I was nearly pressed up against it. Moriarty came closer too, smirking down at me from his higher position outside. "Sweetie I don't have the time or effort for business fuck-tarts like you,"
"Such a foul mouth on such a pretty girl,"
"What do you want,"
"Me? Nothing! Just thought I'd pop in and meet the animals,"
"I'm not an animal,"
"Well, you sure do look like one sweetheart. All caged up and lonely,"
"I could get out if I wanted,"
"Really? Show me."
A/N: I know I didn’t post on the 21st as promised, I got bogged down in college work and haven’t had time to finish the fic I was writing. So here’s another drabble- Moriarty one this time! I hope you like it, he is one of my favourite characters to write, when if I don’t do it very well.
Sherlock Imagine: Trying to Convince Moriarty to Sight See
Requested By: @peculiar-persephone
Business (not) As Usual
The sound of the BeeGees wake you.
You used to love the BeeGees. But you’ve come to learn that hearing these old classics meant that your boyfriend was, in fact, working.
And not to be disturbed.
You roll out of bed, dragging the blankets with you and wrapping them around your shoulders as you follow the music down the hall of the expensive hotel suite.
You squint as the sun blasts you through the wall size windows.
James always did like the sunlight. Said it showed people for who they really were.
You watch him timidly, hovering around the corner as he pours over files on the couch, lounging as if he owns he place.
He probably did.
After a while you timidly speak up. “James?”
You see his shoulders tense. He did not like being interrupted while he worked. “I’m working, [Y/N]. What have I told you about interrupting me while I’m busy.”
The bite in his voice makes your heart pump a bit faster. You rush on.
“I-I was just wondering if we could please go sight seeing when you’re done. I-I know we came here for your work but I was hoping that m-maybe we could do some c-couple things?”
Its the stammer and fear in your voice that makes him stop. Normally, he absolutely adores the reaction in others, but in you? No. It wasn’t right.
“Come here.” His voice is gentle now, and you know that its your James that is speaking to you again. You move to him at once, and he pulls you firmly into his side. He brushes a kiss into your hair. “Yes, of course, angel. I’ll finish up this pesky work real quick and we can spend the rest of the visit sight seeing. Does that sound good?”
You give a nod, afraid if you speak that he’ll change his mind.
“Ah, ah. Verbal answer, please.”
“That sounds very nice. Thank you, James.”
He smiles, and as you stand up to go and leave him to work in peace, his hand catches your wrist. “Stay.”
You sit down in surprise but don’t argue. “Okay.”
You nestle into his side, and you feel him relax.
He decides that perhaps having you around while he works isn’t such a bad idea after all.
Rating: T for violence, horror, kidnapping, and death. Please be aware of any possible triggers in regards to being kidnapped and their reaction.
SHERLOCK MASTERLIST
Sherlock Headcanons
P A N I C
This guy is full on frantic. We’re talking shaky hands, wild eyes, meaner than usual, quick to snap, and pacing furiously in his mind palace.
And if, goodness forbids, he knows you’re being harmed—
Oh it’s simply unthinkable to him why anyone would ever want to hurt you. He is furious. His eyes will be burning with absolute rage and hatred.
He is going to find you. He’s not going to be showy about it because he is beside himself with worry.
All he wants is for you to be safe in his arms again.
So he will find you. If he needs to ask for help he will do so. He’s not going to let his pride get in the way of your safe return.
When he finds you if you’ve been injured his first priority will be getting you to a hospital. You will be his number one concern and focus. You, above all else, need to be safe and okay.
You’re gonna get a full police escort. You’ll be heavily guarded by Mycroft’s men. You’ll be protected 24/7 until the monster who took you is apprehended, or dead.
Once he knows you’re safe—and you better believe he’s kissing you all over and squeezing you so tightly it hurts a little bit—then his next goal is to hunt.
He will not rest until the bastard who harmed you is dead, or thrown into the darkest pit and forgotten.
N o t h i n g will stop him.
Tbh he’ll probably be a little dramatic about his hunt for vengeance and y’know he’s gonna psychologically harass / torture that sonuva for a good bit. He wants that monster to suffer for what s/he did.
Sherlock’s smart enough to know how to hurt someone without leaving a trace.
When the deed is done (and how messed up the villain is will be directly proportionate to how much s/he harmed you) he’ll return to your side and hold your hand tightly.
He won’t be letting you out of his sight any time soon.
100% has your back through the recovery. If you have to deal with PTSD, or other long-term effects from the traumatic experience he will do his absolute best to accommodate you.
He’s not the best at comforting, but he will be doing extensive research in how to handle night-terrors and flashbacks. He has some experience with John, but John’s relatively well-adjusted and knows how to self-comfort.
If you need anything he will do everything in his power to provide it.
Will never rush your recovery time. He might push you to try things if he honestly thinks it will help, but he will immediately back out if he sees it’s too much.
So many hugs and kisses after nightmares.
All the love and support this bby boy can provide will be yours.
“I’ll protect you. I swear.”
Mycroft Headcanons
Hurrrk.
This hurts.
Right in the chest.
He’s left breathless when he discovers you’ve been taken. His vision will literally tilt as his whole world loses balance. The pure fear he feels for you in that one moment is staggering.
Then he’s repressed it and he’s all cold fury and meticulous planning.
He’s going to find you.
He’s going to kill anyone who hurt you. It will not be an easy death, either.
He’ll use every bit of resource, power, and money he has in order to guarantee your safe return (and eventual demise of whoever took you).
If, goodness forbid, that monster hurt you—
Mycroft will have never felt so furious in his entire life. It would not be out of the question for Mycroft to personally see to that bastard’s torture.
When he finds you he will take you to a safe house with the best security he could provide, along with a therapist on standby and several doctors.
He will stay by your side and leave it to his subordinates (and Sherlock) to hunt down the monster who took you.
Mycroft’s priority is you, and your well-being.
When that villain is found s/he will be put to death. Mycroft will not chance a repeat. How long s/he suffers before death will be dependent on how much s/he harmed you.
Mycroft will hold you tightly in his arms and gently kiss your forehead.
Beyond supportive of any after-effects you have to go through after your experience. He’s well-versed in psychological traumas so will be super helpful in coaxing you down from flashbacks or night terrors.
Whatever you need he will provide.
Absolutely no judgement for however long it takes for you to recover.
Everyone heals and processes things differently and what you went through was awful.
He only wants you to be happy, healthy, and safe.
”I will keep you safe, my dear.”
Moriarty Headcanons
Oh. My. God.
Heads are rolling. Buildings will crumble. The whole world is gonna be thrown into terror if someone dared to take you.
Not only will you be found the very day you’re taken—because hello, Criminal Mastermind who controls the underground—but you can bet your sweet ass that he’s gonna be in a right furious mood for a good while.
He will make that monster plead for death by the time he’s done with ‘em. Moriarity won’t stop there, though. Oh, no. He has to make a statement. He will not let this be a repeat.
He’ll be meticulous. Every person that was friends, family, or colleagues with this monster will be taken out in a brutal fashion.
The place you were taken from? Burned to the ground.
The place you were held captive? Blown to smithereens.
Those that failed to protect you? Buried alive.
He is gonna make the world feel just as terrified and vulnerable as he felt when you were taken. He wants the world to suffer as much as he had.
If, goodness forbids, you were harmed—
For every scratch, or bruise on your body is another city that’s gonna suffer.
(Of course there’s a good chance you’ll be able to curb the worst of his anger with reassurances that you’re fine, and that you love him, and no of course you don’t blame him for getting kidnapped. Maybe he won’t ruin entire cities. Maybe he’ll just create a few dozen serial killers and set them loose.)
He’s gonna be overly protective of you for years to come.
You are his whole world and the thought of ever losing you horrifies him.
He’ll be reluctant to leave your side any time soon.
You definitely won’t be able to leave his safe house with heavily armed guards for a good long while.
Lots of cuddles and kisses.
He’ll keep therapists and doctors on standby. He’ll be extremely supportive of any PTSD, or after-effects you have to go through from your kidnapping.
(It may trigger a few of his own night terrors, though, so please be aware)
The prompt(s): Fighting / Making up, Unconscious habits, Kissing
Rating: K+
SHERLOCK MASTERLIST
FIRST PROMPT
Sherlock
Passive-Aggressive-ia is a faraway land and Sherlock is their king.
He’s snippy and snarky when he argues with you. He’ll hardly ever raise his voice, but he’ll speak quickly and use cutting words. If he’s angry enough he will say whatever it takes to hurt you. And he will always succeed.
He’s stubborn, too. He won’t ever want to admit he’s wrong, and in the rare event that he is he’ll try to brush past it.
(It would be best not to poke his wounded ego in this case because he’ll sulk for weeks)
You’ll probably have to be the bigger person for 80% of the arguments. Even if you’re in the right in the heat of the moment he won’t want to give in.
(When you’re right he will come around, but you’ll need to be patient)
When he hurts you during your arguments he’ll regret it almost immediately. He doesn’t actually want to hurt you, but he can’t help himself when he’s that upset. He’ll apologize in his own way: complimenting you, leaving little treats around the flat for you, playing your favorite song on the violin. He won’t come out and say he’s sorry—not unless it’s really bad—but he’ll make the small, but meaningful gestures.
Making up means hugging. He won’t initiate the hug, but he’ll want you to and he’ll awkwardly—but happily—embrace you in return.
Sherlock’s quick to move on. If you say you’re ready to move past the argument then he is, too. He doesn’t like to dwell on unpleasant things and while he won’t forget the argument, he’s more than ready to forgive it.
If he hurt you too badly he’ll be shyer around you. He’ll be worried that he’s scared you off, so he’ll actively try to be nicer around you. He loves you and he never wants to lose you.
You’ll have to reassure him.
If you need something from him for comfort all you have to do is ask.
Mycroft
He is cold.
He doesn’t raise his voice to you. You’ll never see him red with anger. If you’ve angered him enough he’ll put distance between the two of you. He will be cold, cutting, and ruthlessly efficient in shoving you out of his life for however long it takes for him to forgive you.
You won’t get a chance to apologize until he’s ready to hear it.
When he is ready to make up, he’ll still retain some distance. He will allow you to make the first move, unless he’s in the wrong.
If he’s in the wrong he will come to you with flowers and a sheepish, small, smile.
If you’re the one who needs to apologize he’ll give you one chance.
Taking the chance will warrant everything be brushed aside and he’ll warm up to you again.
Rejecting the chance will effectively end the relationship. He doesn’t have the time or energy to waste on a struggling relationship.
Making up means forehead kisses. It means late night dinners, and murmured apologies.
If he’s in the wrong he’ll be extra attentive towards you as if to compensate for his error.
He won’t hold grudges, and won’t be with someone who does.
Forgive and move on.
Moriarty
Oooh boy.
He has two types of anger, and there’s no telling which way he’ll react in arguments. He’s either going to explode instantly to end the argument, or he will get glacier cold and abruptly leave you.
Explosive anger can be scary, not gonna lie. He’ll yell, throw things, and will actively try to intimidate you into submission. The best way to handle him will be to remain calm, and if you feel threatened it’d be best if you left and let him calm down. He won’t ever stop you from leaving (unless you did something truly bad like… cheat on him with Sherlock).
Cold anger is dangerous, though, because it means payback. He may not take it out on you, but you can definitely expect some poor fool to die in an ultimately pointless and painful manner. Cold rage means he’ll be distant from you, curt, and will say absolutely horrible things to you.
Arguing with him while he’s angry is pointless and dangerous. Don’t do it. Let him cool down, or give him time to move past it.
He’s definitely a grudge holder.
If you’re in the wrong, then once he’s calmed down it would be best if you apologized right away. Since you’re his S/O he’ll forgive you and want to move past it, but he won’t forget it. Try not to make the same mistake because he will use this argument against you in the future.
If he’s in the wrong he’ll go out of his way to apologize. You’ll wake up to a room filled with presents, and him opening his arms with a nervous smile on his face.
He has no issues saying he’s sorry when he needs to.
Regardless of who was in error he’ll spend more time with you thereafter for at least a week. He doesn’t like fighting with you.
(honestly it’d be best if you avoided big arguments with him to the best of your ability)
SECOND PROMPT:
Sherlock
Sherlock always fidgets with whatever is in his hands. He doesn’t think about it. He doesn’t even realize he’s doing it half the time. If someone puts something in his hands and he gets lost in his thoughts his fingers will move on their own.
Mrs. Holmes has been able to get Sherlock to knit doing this.
She slipped in some knitting sticks and yarn while he was off in his mind palace. Three hours later he’s got a somewhat mangled scarf halfway made.
He got better with practice.
She let John in on that little secret, so sometimes John will slip Sherlock more stuff to knit or fidget with when he zones out.
John loves his Sherlock-knitted sweaters.
Mycroft
Given Mycroft’s profession he strives to not have any obvious tells, or habits. If he realizes he’s developing a visible habit that can be used against him he will actively stop. When he was younger he used to tap his fingers when he was angry, or twitch his lips once before he had to fake a smile. Both of these habits he ruthlessly beat down.
The only thing he does repeatedly is a little tic he himself hasn’t noticed, yet.
He twirls his umbrella-sword every time he’s thought of something interesting. Not exclusively when he’s happy, or upset, but if anything’s caught his attention he’ll give it a whirl.
Moriarty
Moriarty fakes tics very well, but he himself doesn’t have any. Due to his career he understands how dangerous it can be to have such an obvious tell.
He fakes tapping his fingers when he’s angry with his clients. He’s hardly ever actually angry, but he wants them to think he’s angry whenever he taps his fingers.
He fakes fiddling with his phone when he’s nervous among “friends.”
He fakes anxious smiles very well—he’ll smile “anxiously” every time he feels like he’s in a bad position.
It’s easy to manipulate others when they think they have all of his tics figured out.
The look on their faces when they realize they were wrong is always priceless.
THIRD PROMPT:
Sherlock
Inexperienced.
This sort of thing never interested him prior to you, so he never bothered to really learn about it.
It’ll be stiff at first, and almost exclusively light pecks until he starts to feel comfortable.
Ofc this sweetie is a fast learner, so he’ll get good fast.
But his confidence will be shaky due to his inexperience. You’ll have to take the lead in the beginning until he gets the hang of things.
He’s a sweetie.
Mycroft
He’s naturally reserved by nature, so don’t expect any passionate kisses right away. He’ll prefer to stick to forehead kisses, or gentle pecks on the cheeks / lips.
Even in private he’ll be slow, and gentle. He’s not one to jump right in, he’s the type to savor the journey.
He’s a gentleman, so he’ll always be composed in public.
Overall he’s a very tender kisser, and you’ll definitely feel his emotions when he kisses you.
Moriarty
This guy is fierce.
He’s the literally-sweep-you-off-your-feet-and-spin-you-around fellow. He’s passionate in his kisses, no matter the place or audience.
He will not hold back.
When you’re kissing him he wants the whole world to melt away from you, and he will always succeed.
He’s like a little ball of fire and sun swooping you along for an adventure. Usually best to just sit tight and enjoy the ride.
The prompt: How do the boys handle summer vacation with their S/O?
Rating: K
SHERLOCK MASTERLIST
Sherlock Headcanons
Going on a summer vacation with Sherlock will be a struggle.
Mostly because he does not want to leave his beloved flat because the world is woefully boring.
Best way to entice Sherlock out on a vacation is to either 1.) go on your own and he’ll follow along like the lovesick puppy he secretly is or 2.) find an enticing case to lure him out. If doing the second be prepared for him to get heavily involved with the case and frequently sneak out to investigate. And possibly force John to come along.
That being said regardless of what happens when Sherlock is actually at the destination he’ll accompany you wherever you’d like to go (although if a case is involved he may leave halfway through and come back an hour later like nothing happened).
He may not be much of an activity person, but he loves you and wants you to be happy so he’ll indulge your desires with minimal fuss.
He’d enjoy seeing music shops, though. Especially one that handcrafts instruments like violins or violas.
His favorite part of the vacation will be seeing your happy face, though.
Going by train or boat will always be better than airplane. Sherlock gets antsy on planes and will be especially bratty if he has to be in close contact with strangers for a prolonged period of time.
If you absolutely do have to go by plane, be prepared to pay a little extra for roomier seats. Entirely worth it to prevent Sherlock snapping at someone and making them cry hysterically the whole way there.
He likes traveling by trains more than other mode of transportation because he likes to be able to move when he wants to.
Packs sparingly, only what he absolutely needs. This may or may not include his violin.
Will research the weather ahead of time.
Always prepared.
Mycroft
Mycroft isn’t that hard to persuade to take on a vacation, but it will be difficult to find an appropriate time with his work. It’ll definitely take months of planning in advance to coordinate it and a good amount of luck to make sure no huge disaster happens to cancel the trip.
He likes to take vacations in quiet, relaxing places. A lovely cabin in the mountains would be his ideal trip.
He detests crowded areas. If you want to go someplace bustling then he’ll of course come with you, but it’s really not his cup of tea.
That being said visiting authentic or local-exclusive restaurants will be his all-time favorite thing to do on vacation (aside from being with you, of course). He loves sampling and trying different kinds of foods.
Take him to a pastry shop and you will make his heart sing.
Inwardly, though. Outwardly he’ll smile at you that special kind of smile reserved just for you.
Big fan of indoor activities.
Please don’t make him go on roller coasters. They’re too… unclean and dull for him.
(Sherlock is enough of a roller coaster for him, thank you.)
He loves traveling by private jet.
Packs for everything.
“Why are you packing wolf repellent? We’re going to Paris.”
“You never know, my dear.”
Moriarty
Definitely the adventurous type when it comes to vacations. He lives for thrills and excitements, so a calm and relaxing vacation will make him lose interest pretty quick.
But he does love going to really gimmicky, or obvious tourist-attraction places and acting like a stereotypical tourist.
Plans parts of the vacation to surprise you, but doesn’t have every little detail planned out. Likes to be sporadic and random.
“Let’s go to Tokyo.”
“We just got to Paris?”
He loves shopping with you. Will buy anything and everything that catches your attention.
Definitely wants to explore everywhere you go.
Don’t be surprised if you wake up and he wants to go skydiving that morning.
Overall it’ll be a very energetic and probably exhausting (in a good way) vacation.
Likes to go by boats, surprisingly enough. If he can’t, then private jet is the only way to go. He hates traveling with strangers.
Doesn’t pack (except his phone). Buys everything when he gets there.
He easily gets jealous, but it’s rare that’s severe enough to warrant more than a passing thought. He’s not used to emotions—especially such a strong one such as love—so he doesn’t have the experience to handle them appropriately. It’s never his intention to hurt you, but sometimes his jealousy will come across like he doesn’t trust you.
It’s not that he doesn’t trust you, so much as he doesn’t trust anyone else. You’re his most precious person, after all, and he really doesn’t have a lot of people close to him. He doesn’t want to lose you, no matter what. And sometimes those feelings will manifest as jealousy.
Hell he’ll even feel jealous over animals that have your attention. Even if he knows that nothing will ever come about from it he’ll still get jealous for your attention; for your affection.
He’s easy to placate, though. Words and kisses are more than enough to remind him that you’re only in love with him and that’s him that you will come home to everyday.
But in the event that there’s someone persistent (for the sake of this headcanon let’s call them Homewrecker) …
He won’t outright say he’s jealous or that he doesn’t want you anywhere near Homewrecker, but he’ll constantly spew out cutting insults about him. He’ll repeatedly reiterate that he’s beneath you—beneath both of you, really—and question why on earth you would even bother to speak with Homewrecker let alone give him your time.
If he honestly thinks Homewrecker is a threat to your relationship he’ll take action.
Definitely gonna stalk you. Checks your phone, has one of his many people part of his network shadow you whenever you’re with Homewrecker.
He’ll confront Homewrecker about his feelings and intentions towards you and if the Homewrecker admits (willingly or not) that Homewrecker is in love with youthen Sherlock will insist neither of you two see each other anymore. He may or may not do this behind your back, depending on how much you indulge his behavior.
If he’s jealous over nothing (as in Homewrecker has no feelings towards you and never will) he won’t be too bad. He’ll make it a point to be publicly affectionate with you in front of Homewrecker, and have a firm arm around your waist.
He has a cute pouty face when he gets jealous.
If his jealousy ever gets out of hand, don’t worry, John and Mycroft will be there to talk sense into him. And if he hurts your feelings during a fit of jealousy he does his best to make up for it. It’s never his intention to hurt you, after all.
He just really new to this crazy thing called being in a healthy romantic relationship. Please be patient with him.
Now you being jealous of him…
That’s actually really flattering.
Sherlock’s used to being the one who gets jealous, so being on the other end of it feels kinda nice in the beginning.
You actually like him that much?
Really?
Well don’t worry nothing will happen.
He’ll placate you in an off-handed way. He’ll treat your jealousy in the most casual manner.
“As if I would spare more than a minute for someone so dull. Really, Y/N, you should know me better by now.”
You’re the only human in the world that makes him feel at peace.
Mycroft’s Jealousy
After the first couple of times of feeling What is this? Why does my stomach feel tight? he’ll get into the swing of things. The first couple of jealousy fits will have him uncharacteristically acting out, like snapping at the person involved and physically pulling you away from them. He’s never felt jealous before, after all, and all these emotions that come with love are incredibly strange and intimidating to the man.
But once he knows it’s jealousy and he’s gotten familiar with the feeling he won’t act out as much.
He’s pretty good at keeping his composure no matter the situation. There are times, of course, where he loses it (almost all of these cases happen because either you or Sherlock are involved), but it never lasts for more than a minute or two.
He’s not easy to get jealous, since he’s not much of a possessive man. Little things won’t bother him and the only way he’ll actually get jealous is if he views someone as a potential threat to your relationship
That being said he doesn’t like it when people touch you. He’s not a physically affectionate person in public, and thinks his S/O should be treated in a certain manner. Like royalty, really.
He’s okay with close friends or family hugging or holding you. Family can give you kisses on the cheek, no problem.
If a stranger or mere acquaintance tried to get physical with you, though… or goodness forbid kisses your cheek he’s going to get annoyed fast. He’ll be by your side within that instant with a hand on your waist and a cold smile on his face.
He’s not going to have nice things to say towards this punk either.
But once that idiot leaves then the jealousy’s gone and he feels abashed at how he acted. He trusts you—really he does—but sometimes he wants to be selfish with your attention.
He’ll apologize for his behavior.
But it’ll always happen. No matter how long you’re together he’ll always feel a bit selfish when it comes to your affections and who gets to touch you.
Now you being jealous over him...
Mycroft is the master of manipulation and part of that requires false compliments and mild flirting. He’s never sincere behind his motives (Mycroft will always be loyal to those he loves), but a certain level of deception is necessary in his line of work.
So you getting jealous is rather understandable, and he’s always quick to mollify you.
Even if you know he’d never cheat, you still hate seeing him like that with others.
But it’s all part of the job. You can’t stay too mad at him, and unfortunately it’s something you’d have to get used to.
Thankfully the flirting part is extremely rare and Mycroft largely uses intimidation, blackmail, and murder (sorry, removal of threats) to get his way, so your jealousy will be equally rare.
But when you do get jealous he’ll devote an evening to reminding you that you have absolutely nothing to be jealous about.
After all, you’re the only one who makes Antarctica feel warm.
Moriarty’s Jealousy
Pfft. If he gets jealous over you then he’ll take out the competition, no questions asked.
Besides, you’re with him, so what does it matter? Who cares about some nobody who tried to put the moves on you?
He’s simply playing his role in natural selection. Clearly the person was too stupid to live if he thought for even a millisecond someone as interesting as you would want to give your attention to someone as dull as him.
He’ll send out his men and drag the poor fool out of his home. If he’s in a good mood he might even use him as a pawn in his latest game with Sherlock (but he’ll set it up so the fellow dies no matter what’s done). If he’s in a poor mood then the death won’t be kind.
He’s sadistic, after all.
Afterwards, though, he’ll be attentive towards you. He’ll be demanding of your attention and affection. He’ll pamper you with his own undivided attention and take you out on some lovely dates.
He’ll work from home so that way he can spend more time with you, to remind you that he loves you more than anyone else could so don’t think for a second there can ever be someone else. He’ll treat you better than anyone else.
Subtle manipulations to make sure you believe that he’s the absolute best for you.
He’ll leave little marks on you, mostly hickeys. All of them with your consent, of course.
He’ll be happy if you wear his clothes for the next couple of days. Little gestures to display that you’ve given yourself to him, and whatnot (he’ll reciprocate an equal amount). Seeing you in his shirt will put him in a good mood.
Now you being jealous over him...
Oh my goodness that’s so cute
Like wow you’re so adorable! Thinking for an instant someone so b o r i n g would catch his attention.
Does it really bother you?
Do you want to kill them?
He’ll help.
It’ll be one of those fun activities couples do together. You get the gun, and he’ll get the shovel!
If you actually say yes to this he’ll be positively giddy. He’ll make over-dramatize it (we’re talking dressing up, buying out a theater, getting all kinds of “toys”, maybe an audience, definitely going to record it). It’ll be great fun for him.

SHERLOCK MASTERLIST
Headcanon for living with Sherlock as his S/O:
Sherlock doesn’t care about who lives with him as long as s/he doesn’t disrupt his life too much. That being said when it comes to having an S/O live with him, he’ll likely want it early on in the relationship.
Sherlock’s never truly experienced a healthy romantic partnership so everything will feel intense and serious right away (along with lots of awkward moments because he has no clue what he’s doing). When he acknowledges that he’s in love with you, he’ll start having you stay over more and more, and for longer periods of time.
He’ll clear out several drawers for you to keep clothes in. He’ll complain when you have to go back over to your place, and he’ll actively give you reasons to stay with him.
Eventually you simply won’t go over to your place for a month or so and you’ll realize such.
When you bring it up, Sherlock will comment, “Then you’ve noticed there’s no need for you return.”
“Are you asking me to move in with you?”
“Merely observing.”
So you make it official and move in with him and let everyone know. It’ll result in:
John wishing you good luck with a fervor.
Mrs Hudson staring at you in disbelief, then her face lighting up with joy at the thought of Sherlock finally settling down!
Mycroft silently wishing the best for you two (but his only outward reaction will be a raised eyebrow)
Greg wondering if you’ve lost your mind, but wishing you the best nonetheless.
Chores will have to be established early and agreed upon. Sherlock’s never really been one to pick up after himself, or really do much around the house. It’s unfair to put that entire burden on you, though, so he’ll try. He’ll do the dishes without a fuss, and he’ll take the out the trash. Everything else will be up for debate, though. You will absolutely have to do the cooking (if Mrs Hudson isn’t around) because Sherlock hardly remembers to eat, let alone make food.
Sleeping will be an oddity. Sherlock has an erratic sleeping pattern and as much as he wants to be able to sleep through the whole night beside you, he’s going to have some nights where that’s simply not possible.
He’ll leap out of bed sometime around midnight, his mind working furiously on something. He’ll pace restlessly outside of the bedroom, unintentionally making quite a bit of noise. If you’re supportive of his playing-the-violin-at-two-in-the-morning then he’ll be playing his violin. There are some nights where it can’t be helped and he’ll play with such a fever that no one can stop him until he’s done.
If he wakes you up during this he’ll apologize. If you have to work that morning, or a busy day the next day he’ll feel guilty and try to make it up to you. But if you decide to get up with him and join him on his sporadic burst of energy then he’ll be appreciative. He’ll enjoy your company and he’ll play whatever song you’d like on his violin.
His favorite pastime during nights like that, however, are playing board games or cards.
There will be some nights he won’t let you sleep at all.
Do not even try to get him up at a set time. When he finally goes to sleep nothing short of a bomb will get this bby boy out of bed.
It won’t be uncommon to wake up alone in bed only to find that he crashed on the couch after a restless night (he didn’t want to wake you coming back into bed).
On the nights he does sleep with you, he likes to be the big spoon. He’ll drape his arm over you and nuzzle into your hair.
Unless he’s having a bad night, then he’ll like to be the little spoon.
His experiments will be chaotic and messy. He’s not going to stop experimenting any time soon because it’s one of the few “healthy” things that can entertain him. That being said he’ll try to keep it to one (two) room(s).
He’ll go shopping with you. He’ll hate it and act grumpy about it, but he doesn’t want you to do it alone (unless you would prefer to do it alone). He’ll help carry the bags and put the food away.
This all changes if he can get away with online grocery shopping and have everything delivered.
John will still stop by on a regular basis to go on cases with Sherlock. They’ll continue to use the living room as the “client” room, so be careful of unexpected guests showing up.
Don’t walk around half naked because if a client sees you like that Sherlock’s going to give them a concussion. And that’s bad for business.
No privacy. Between Sherlock and his brother you can expect nothing of yours to remain private or hidden from the two. Unless you’re a better hacker / programmer than either of the two.
Surprise shower visits! Sometimes he’ll just come into the bathroom and talk to you while you’re showering/bathing. If you invite him in, though, he’ll usually accept the invitation (only time he says no is if he’s in a hurry) .
Everything important to him has a place. Don’t move anything unless you want him to sulk for a week.
He doesn’t care how you decorate the apartment. Don’t ask him to go furniture shopping because he will, without a doubt, pick the ugliest thing imaginable over and over until you decide to do it yourself.
He has a bad habit of throwing clothes near the laundry basket instead of in it. It’s a problem.
He is remarkably bad at cooking. He can manage burnt toast and frozen dinners, but everything else is as foreign to him as the solar system.
Is oddly picky when it comes to tea.
He’ll remind you of the weather every day before you leave. He’ll either hand you an umbrella, or force you into heavier clothes.
He likes it when you wear his clothes.
Wants a big dog, but will never get one on his own. He won’t object to you bringing a big puppy into the home (or lots of puppies), but he’ll get snippy if they mess up one of his experiments or lose their bladders inside the home.
That being said he’ll love to cuddle with them (and they’ll love him because all dogs love Sherlock because they can sense that he really needs all the love and affection). He’ll take them out for walks and spoil them with treats (but he won’t remember to feed him, that’ll be up to you).
He keeps a lot of candles on hand for blackouts. He has several emergency kits scattered around the flat.
Every time he sees you when he comes home, he’ll feel warm inside.
Sherlock Scenario
You rubbed the sleep out of your eyes as you quietly moved about the flat. You had to wake up early that day to go to an appointment, and Sherlock had unfortunately kept you up until three (you had to leave by five). You barely got a half hour of sleep in before your alarm went off.
Sherlock was still seemingly crashed on your bed, oblivious to the world around him. It was sweet looking at him like that; his face entirely relaxed and his dark curls falling over his eyes like a curtain. You wished you could enjoy it longer, but unfortunately the appointment really couldn’t be missed.
So you sucked it up and got ready. You moved slowly, tiredly, but did your best to keep quiet out of consideration for your sleepy boyfriend. You had only just grasped the doorknob when you felt a heavy coat on your shoulders.
Turning your head, you were surprised to find a groggy Sherlock wrapping a coat around you.
“It’ll be cold,” he mumbled, bleary eyes looking you over.
You smiled tiredly at him, slipping your arms into the coat. Sherlock reached over to the coat rack and grabbed his favorite scarf. He wrapped it around you before tugging it up to cover the lower half of your face. He leaned forward and placed a brief kiss on your nose.
You couldn’t resist leaning towards him, wrapping your arms loosely around his waist and closing your eyes.
He kissed the top of your head, whispering, “It’ll rain, too.”
“Thank you,” you said.
Sherlock pulled away long enough to put a hat over your head and to hand you his umbrella. You tilted your head back, closing your eyes expectantly.
Taking the hint, the tired detective gently placed his lips over yours.
“We’ll finish this later,” you said, pulling away.
“I look forward to it.”
Headcanons for living with Mycroft as his S/O:
Mycroft’s never entered into a serious relationship. The best that could be said about his past relationships were one-night stands, or things that had to be done for his job. He’s never fallen in love with any of them, and so has never courted someone with the honest intention of spending the rest of his life with her/him.
When Mycroft realizes that he does love you, it’ll cause some minor hiccups in his mind for a few days as he adjusts. When he’s finally ready to act on his feelings the relationship will turn intense very fast.
He won’t be subtle about his intentions, and he’ll be upfront about wanting you to live with him.
Mycroft won’t advertise this development. The only one who will figure it out within the first year will be Sherlock and he’ll give you a look of disbelief as if to say: Really? Him?
Chores will be done by the servants unless you absolutely want to do them. Mycroft likes having a clean and orderly home, but he doesn’t have the time to pick up after himself or clean it himself, so he hires maids that come in every day and tidy the place up.
He doesn’t eat or sleep in a traditional manner. Due to his work his schedule is a little whacked up.
The only thing consistent about his schedule is that he is always awake before dawn, and he always has a big breakfast. Lunch will be skipped without hesitation if he gets involved in his work, and dinners either don’t happen or occur extremely late at night.
Of course he will make it a point to try and eat with you (that’s what couples do, right?), but it’ll be a 50/50 on whether it actually happens. Every time he has to cancel he’ll send you flowers.
Sleeping will be the other sporadic part. Mycroft attempts to go to bed at a decent enough hour to get rest, but there will be times that that simply doesn’t happen. Still, he’ll make sure to tuck you in and lay with you until you fall asleep before he slips out and continues to work.
He will always be there when you wake up (unless he’s out of the country in which case he’ll send you a morning message).
On the nights that he does get to sleep with you he’s not prone to physical affection. He didn’t grow up with it, nor is he touch-starved enough to suddenly turn into a cuddly person. He won’t turn you away if you do you want to cuddle (and he’ll be happy to hold you if it’ll help you fall asleep), but he won’t actively seek it out.
Shopping will be done online and taken care of by the servants. He doesn’t have the time to do it, nor does he care enough to make the time.
No privacy. Between him and Sherlock you simply won’t be able to keep a secret.
He loves taking baths with you. Salt baths are his favorite as they’re one of the few things that he can relax to. He’ll make an evening of it if he can.
Mycroft prefers traditional decorum over modern. He’d prefer it if his home reflected that taste, but if you hate it too much he’ll be open to change. That being said you cannot change his library or office. He’ll get you your own rooms if you want to decorate them that bad.
He loves reading with you. Sitting beside one another in front of a fireplace and reading a good book is like his own private heaven (especially if there’s cake involved).
He’s a cat person. He doesn’t mind dogs, but he hates slobber. He likes cats because they don’t require constant attention (little does he know), but he’ll never get one on his own because he detests getting cat hair over his suits.
If you got a pet he wouldn’t object as long as it didn’t destroy his home or disrupt his life too much.
Of course the animal would either hate him or love him. There is no middle ground.
He is a phenomenal baker. If he has the energy and time he’ll make beautiful desserts. There will be a few happy times where you come home and the entire mansion smells like a bakery because he got into the mood.
He loves seeing you eat his cakes.
Mycroft absolutely has a panic room, several escape routes, and some top-notch security.
He also collects antique swords.
Seeing you every day when he comes home will be one of the biggest stress relievers of his life.
Mycroft Scenario
You were enjoying a wonderful novel that night. It was storming heavily, and you could hear each boom of thunder clearly and loudly. The mansion creaked from the heavy winds, and most of the lights were out (your home was running on the back up generator by that point).
You had the fireplace going in front of you, and you were curled up on the couch and under a thick blanket. Occasionally the room lit up in bright white light when lighting stretched across the sky outside the large window, but for the most part it was bathed in warm light from the fire.
Another clap of thunder drew your attention away from your book for a brief moment. In that same instant you could hear footsteps behind you. Turning your head, you found Mycroft entering the room, surprisingly not wet.
‘Must have parked in the garage, then,’ you thought.
“Welcome home,” you said, smiling warmly at him.
“Thank you, my dear,” Mycroft said, walking around the couch so he was between you and the fire. He gestured towards your book. “Good read?”
“Mm-hmm. Did you eat?”
“Not yet,” he admitted. “You?”
“Was waiting for you,” you said.
“Then I shall not make you wait any longer,” Mycroft murmured, extending his hand towards you. You pushed back your blanket and placed your warm hand in his cool one. His fingers curled around your hand. He brought your hand up to his lips, kissing the back of your knuckles.
Another clap of thunder sounded, this one significantly louder and strong enough to shake you. You jumped in surprise at it, and Mycroft pulled you into him. He ran his fingers through your hair and said, “Now, now, my dear. No need to be scared of a sound.”
“You’re awful,” you said, although you were smiling from his light teasing. You could feel his chest vibrate from his quiet chuckles. He placed a kiss on top of your head.
“Simply the worst,” he agreed, “but I’m afraid you’ll be stuck with me for quite some time.”
“I suppose I can live with that.”
Headcanons for living with Moriarty as his S/O:
When Moriarty realizes that he likes you in a If-this-person-dies-I-will-lose-my-fucking-mind way he’ll bring you to his penthouse. He won’t really ask you to move in, so much as make it nearly impossible for you to have a reason to leave.
His clients only come up to the first half of the skyscraper, and the rest of the floors are dedicated to his private work and living space. The penthouse, the top most floor, will be where he wants you to stay, but you’ll have access to a few floors below.
Anything and everything you would ever need would be in that building, or promptly brought in at your request. You will be entirely safe there and able to do nearly whatever your heart desires (except leaving the building without Moriarty’s permission).
You don’t have to worry about chores or maintaining the home. He’ll hire maids to do that for you (or butlers if that’s what you want, he doesn’t care).
You moving in with him won’t be advertised. Certainly those who see you in the building will know, but you won’t really be able to tell your friends or family. He’ll convince you that it’s safer that way, and if—for whatever reason—you had to meet up with them then he’ll arrange a safe public area for you to do so.
Given his work he doesn’t eat and sleep in a typical sense. There are times (weeks even) where he’s able to work on a standard schedule, but there are just as many times where he has to forgo sleeping in a bed or eating anything other than protein bars.
When he has a standard schedule he will make it a point to eat with you at least once a day (usually dinner). On an erratic schedule he’ll send you little messages around the time to remind you to eat.
On a standard schedule he’ll sleep with you for at least six hours (it’s rare he’ll sleep longer than six hours straight). He’ll come with you to bed, hold you tight in his arms, and make sure you’re the first one to fall asleep. He’ll do his best to be there when you wake up, but that won’t always be the case. On a sporadic schedule he’ll make do with calling you when you go to sleep, and having you call him when you wake up.
Any and every time he has to cancel plans with you he’ll buy you presents, be that clothes, flowers, games... whatever strikes your fancy.
D o n o t t o u c h his collection of “shoes.”
He loves surprise shower/baths visits. Frankly, he loves any activity that involves being undressed with you.
If, goodness forbid, someone else saw you like that though (such as an unlucky servant walking in with awful timing) then they’re getting their eyes popped out, at the very minimum.
He loves music. Every time he’s home with you there will be music playing in the background. He’ll swing you into his arms and dance with you around the penthouse to it.
He loves slow dancing with you.
Best of the best when it comes to security.
Moriarty isn’t much of a pet person. Animals typically hate him (likely sensing his naturally sadistic nature), but he won’t care if you bring one along. As long as they don’t touch his music or shoes, it’s fine.
Decorate the place however you want. Make it pink like Barbie, or black like Metallica. He truly doesn’t care, so don’t waste your time trying to make him pick stuff out.
He loves sitting by the fireplace and watching it. He’ll enjoy it more if you sit beside him and cuddle.
If you’re ever cooking in the kitchen he’ll come up behind you and wrap his arms around you and watch. He’s not much of a chef himself, but he likes seeing you work with knives and fire.
If you greet him every day with warmth when he comes home he’ll give you a genuine smile.
Moriarty Scenario
It was around midnight and you woke up having to use the restroom. You weren’t surprised to see that he wasn’t in bed, knowing he probably had more work to do.
After using the restroom, though, you wondered if you should check in on him. You knew he appreciated it when you gave him a reason to take a break.
So you left your bedroom and headed to the office, but you found that it was empty and dark. Curious, you walked around the spacious penthouse before you finally found him in the living room in front of fireplace.
He was sitting crisscross, leaning back, and staring intently at the warm cherry fire. You approached him quietly, pulling the blanket off the couch as you passed by it.
Jim didn’t react right away when you placed the blanket around his shoulders, or when you sat down beside him. You scooted closer to him, and his arm wrapped around your waist and pulled you into him. You tucked your head into the crook of his neck and you felt him place a brief kiss on your forehead.
The two of you stared at the fire, watching as it slowly cracked and split the wood. Bits of ember and ash burned lazily around the wood, and sparks flew off it at random. The smell was calming, and the sound pleasing.
You weren’t sure how long the two of you stayed there, both completely at ease and enjoying the moment. You thought it couldn’t have been more than half an hour (you later learned it was nearly two), before Jim broke the silence by saying, “Let’s get you back to bed.”
“I’m okay,” you said.
But he didn’t say anything else, merely standing up and pulling you up with him. His fingers curled around your own and he tugged you closer to him. His other hand cupped your face and he kissed you softly. “I’ll join you this time.”
