My cat has a favourite spot on the back of the sofa where he likes to sleep.

He's there so often that he's worn down a hollow perfectly shaped to his cat-body.

Enjoy.

Story number 9!

While out beachcombing aging sailor John comes across a peculiar young man.

[jeremybrettholmes]

One of the finest and most beloved Watsons ever to grace the screen has passed away. David Burke was 91 years old, just shy of his 92nd birthday, and he is survived by his wife Anna Calder-Marshall and his son Tom Burke.

By all accounts, he was a gentleman and a wonderful human being. He could have stayed on to play Watson much longer, which would have made many of us very happy, but he chose to leave the show to be nearer to his family, especially since Tom was very young at the time.

His was not the first intelligent and competent Watson, but this version marked a turning point in mainstream depictions, from comedic sidekick to a hero in his own right.

RIP, dear sir. You will be missed. Thank you for everything.

Look for the Violet Lining ... by helloliriels for @vanimelda4

Fan art for Vanimelda4's lovely fic: The Magician's Assistant (sliiiight spoiler alert, forgives me! but it's the part that stuck with me!) I had to draw all three scenes to depict the moment. (No reference photos used). This fic is going in my top 10 faves. It stole my heart! 💜💜💜

Participating in @fanartfrenzy to help motivate me to share some long-delayed kudos! (My frenzy might be a slight flurry instead ... haha. Wanna take my time on these!)

Look at this absolutely gorgeous art!

I love it 😍❤️

I haven't drawn a portrait in forever....

I found a gif where Martin licks his lips.

This is based on that gif.

So that's his tongue, he's licking his lips. Why? That's up to your interpretation.

Meretricious, everyone! :D

I got one of those Christmas houses as a gift but it was all white so I painted it 🎨.

(Inspired by van Gogh's 'Starry Night').

My mystrade Omegaverse au is now set to become a series with the first part complete.

Enjoy!

An Archive of Our Own, a project of the Organization for Transformative Works

At 24 years of age it was rather unusual for Mycroft Holmes, as an omega, to still be unmarried and unmated.

Mycroft blames his own unappealing nature in part but also the fact that his strange and unorthodox family has managed to scare every single suitor away.

Rated: Teen and up. (Future installments will be mature)

[vanimelda4]

This is now a series with four parts and counting.

The first part is still rated Teen, but the rest is Explicit, because.....well.....Omegaverse.

Enjoy!

I now also write Mystrade....

An Archive of Our Own, a project of the Organization for Transformative Works

"Welcome to the Family"

At 24 years of age it was rather unusual for Mycroft Holmes, as an omega, to still be unmarried and unmated.

Mycroft blames his own unappealing nature in part but also the fact that his strange and unorthodox family has managed to scare every single suitor away.

He will try to woo a potential partner one final time during a family dinner with an older wolf-shifter alpha.

It probably will end in disaster again anyway.

He probably won't even like this new alpha........probably.
