Honestly, whatever happens today, I'm so glad that I've got Giant Chat tonight. I literally live for Wednesdays and I'm p sad that I'm going to miss next week.

Summary:

John assumes that Sherlock is playing chess by himself. Sherlock lets him think what he will - it's certainly better than admitting to the truth. 

General Audiences, no slash

This story is one of the earliest ones I read back when I first joined the Sherlock fandom.  I loved it at the time, and was reminded of it recently, re-read it, and still love it.

I'll always have a soft spot in my heart for Mycroft and Sherlock brotherly feels.

It's short, set around The Reichenbach Falls time frame.

Please tell me that Victor and Sherlock have like 15 dogs in one small flat.

Oh my goodness, YES. And Sherlock loves dogs, he does, but really the 15 dogs are mostly Victor’s fault. They keep following him home, you see. And it’s not just stray dogs they’ve adopted! There are also a couple of cats, and a ferret Sherlock found at a crime scene once.

I was tagged today by both @theshatnerian and @postcardsfromtheoryland (thanks!), so without further ado:

Name: Lori

Nicknames: I have an old Japanese friend who calls me パン (pan - as in pain (the French word, not the English one). I don’t exactly know why, but he’s called me that for about a quarter of a century now.

Gender: Cis Female. Ish. 

Height: 5′2″

Sexual Orientation: IDEK anymore. I have had sex. With a woman and a man. I can’t recall ever looking at anyone and thinking, “I’d like to have sex with that person.” I have a fairly strong libido, and I fall into crushes very easily. Make of that what you will.

Favorite colors: mostly just green

Time right now: 5:10 PM Average hours of sleep: 6-ish, most nights Lucky number: I can’t say that I have one... Last thing I googled: “inclement weather GMU” Number of blankets I sleep under: one blanket, one sheet - I’m curious about these weighted blankets, but I’m not sure MAFM would go for it. Favorite fictional character(s): aw, man, I don’t know... Jo March, Jane Eyre, Snape, Lee (East of Eden), Cheng Dieyi, Mikkelsen’s Hannibal... there are probably more... Favorite books: A Last Chance to See; Little Women; Jane Eyre; East of Eden; Journey to the West Favorite bands: I can’t say I have much in the way of favorite bands, but I’m a sucker for old-school stuff (Pink Floyd, in all its misogynistic glory; Aerosmith; The Beatles; Dionne Warwick & Burt Bacharach... stuff like that). (I’m old.)

Consider yourself tagged if you’d like to play!!

@homoromanticdemisexualsherlock said: Wow I’m so angry for you. That’s horrible. cloama said: I have no right to feel personally offended but somehow I’m still a little hurt for you. You did the work and I watched. I’m sorry this happened. postcardsfromtheoryland said: Ughhhhhhhhh that sucks :( I’m so sorry. Is there any forum where you could respond? thetimemoves said: What a bunch of fuckers. (hugs) @otp221b said: I’m sorry. No self-doubt. Don’t let it bite your fingers and toes. phdfan said: Oh that is a nightmare :(

Thanks, you guys. A handful of friends talked me through to the other side, where I’m very much ‘fuck you’ and just resigned to the thing. I could contact him, but I really just don’t want to engage. He’s part of a cabal of people I neither like nor respect, and the only thing I could say is that that wasn’t me he was quoting/slamming, which only sounds whiny in the end. The truth is, his unnecessary tone notwithstanding, he’s not wrong about it - it DOES sound horrible (as some of you will remember me saying awhile back when I saw the galleys), and I’m mostly just pissed that my name is on the thing. It’s a shame that that whole experience/ordeal has turned out to be something I wish I’d never been involved in (except for the money, the money was good), but I’m just trying to take whatever is learnable from it and jettison the rest. At least this is no one whose good opinion I would ever court; I have strong opinions about what the cabal has done to our understanding of the thing, and they’re not very positive. So, whatever.

postcardsfromtheoryland answered your question “I’ve had four hours of sleep and a lot of caffeine. Everything is...”

I'm pretty much in the same boat, and it's nice to know I'm not alone. The semester starts tomorrow and I am ALREADY behind. I didn't even know that was possible.

Mine starts next week, but I have meetings and presentations this week. “Oh, what was that, boss? You want to know if I would like to lead a workshop during the one week off I have this summer? SURE!” I am an idiot. 

Good luck tomorrow! *waves pom-poms*
