His Move

1557 Words / Prompt: Manipulate

He shouldn’t have been surprised. Mary was an assassin, the business of her past never quite behind her. She’d run away once, and Sherlock had insisted they go after her. At that point, John was willing to let her go. They were never going to have the future he’d imagined when he bought her that ring. 

She was already dying when he arrived at the aquarium, and said the things you would expect a loving wife to say. You were my whole world. 

He felt a dull sense of relief, and hated himself for it. The problems of your future are my privilege. 

A future, cut short. And still, her problems would haunt him.

When Sherlock reached out his hand towards John, his eyes wide, John saw the horror-stricken expression on his face.. 

You were my whole world, he thought. 

Her body was lifted, put on a stretcher, and carried out. John followed.

Sherlock texts him: I’m so sorry. SH

John doesn’t reply.

Please talk to me, John. SH

He feeds Rosie, gives her a bath, puts her to bed. She fusses; she’s old enough to sense something is wrong. Now she has only her father to keep her world stable.

John, please. SH

He plans the funeral; there’s no one else. Mary has no family, only a few friends. It’s his responsibility. This keeps him busy, gives him space to work out what comes next.

Sherlock is actually sorry. This John doesn’t doubt. He’s not a sociopath, regardless of what he says.

John’s words at the aquarium were spoken in anger; he doesn’t blame Sherlock for Mary’s death. John is the one who brought her into their orbit. He can’t change that, but sometimes he thinks about what would have happened if Sherlock had returned six months sooner. Of course he would have been angry, and would have expressed how he felt about watching his best friend die, being abandoned for two years. Six months earlier, maybe he wouldn’t have paid attention to the new nurse, the one who kept flirting with him. 

He has no doubt that he would have come back to Baker Street if Sherlock wanted him. The compromise, as always, would have been on John’s part. Sherlock is never going to change. He will always treat John as a convenience, a habit that doesn’t require thought. 

Sherlock is rarely solicitous, never bestows compliments, only flatters someone if he’s being manipulative. The speech he gave at the wedding nearly knocked John over. Maybe Sherlock was only trying to do what was expected of him, but it was unexpectedly touching. 

Sitting there, hearing the two people who love you most, he’d had this thought: I would have waited for you, if I’d known. 

In his own way, Sherlock does love John. He also knows how to manipulate John, to get him to do what he wants. To keep John in the dark when he doesn’t trust him. 

Loving Sherlock has always meant giving something up. It means following him into danger. John isn’t sure he can afford that any longer, not with a child to care for. 

He has to be sure.

It doesn’t surprise John to see Sherlock at the funeral. Mrs Hudson sits with him, and Lestrade joins them. Molly slides into the pew, whispers something to Greg. It’s a protective entourage; they all know what John said.

Harry is home, watching Rosie. John sits alone, in the front row. 

Sherlock has texted him daily, and John hasn’t replied. That’s why Sherlock is here. He wants John to accept his apology, for everything to be as it was before he ruined it all by dying. Not that Sherlock understands it this way; he doesn’t think that dying ruined things. He’s convinced that he had to do it, that John would have died if he hadn’t. In his mind, there was no alternative. 

Maybe he’s right, but for two years, John carried the weight of grief. That’s just feelings, sentiment; Sherlock wan’t dead; he was saving John, saving the world, winning the game. He left John behind, let him grieve, because that was the only way to solve what happened at Barts that day. 

Sherlock will still leave John behind at crime scenes, run heedlessly into danger, and probably get wounded at some point. He will question John’s intelligence, talk to John when he’s miles away, text him impatiently while he’s treating patients. He will dismiss John’s concerns as frivolous, insist that sentiment makes him weak. He will break John’s heart again and again. That’s just the reality.

And John could break his heart, too. He has a temper, and letting go of anger is hard. Will that anger still be simmering in a year, two years? It’s hard for him to forgive; even in death, he hasn’t really forgiven Mary. 

Can he say he forgives Sherlock and really mean it?  

John prayed for a miracle, and hit the ghost when he returned. Sherlock didn’t hit back; he made a joke. He missed the point. 

But he pulled John out of a bonfire. His look of panic is something John won’t ever forget.  

He tricked John into forgiving him—but has also tried to be worthy of that forgiveness. 

He has expressed his love for John in front of a hundred people. 

These are not the acts of a heartless man.

Sherlock needs him. Maybe two years away was as hard for him as it was for John. 

Does John need him?

He imagines a life without Sherlock. He weighs it against a life without Mary. One is possible, one is past.

His wife was a master manipulator. He’s only beginning to realise the extent of that. He’d had doubts, but couldn’t put words to them until he was in Leinster Gardens, hearing her admit that she’d shot Sherlock, that she would do anything to keep John in the dark about who she really was. 

The woman he fell in love with saved him from despair.

The woman he’d married was a facade. 

He never forgave the woman who shot Sherlock. 

The woman he went back to gave him his daughter. 

So. Mary’s gone, and what he feels about that is a confusing mixture of guilt and sorrow—and relief. At some point, he loved her. Or the idea of her. He chose her. 

She made choices as well. She chose death, rather than allowing Sherlock to take that bullet. When John came back to her, she understood that he would never completely forgive her, that he was doing it for Rosie. She’d chosen to save Sherlock, to die rather than live with John’s grief over losing him a second time.

Sherlock didn’t kill her. She chose to die.

But when he stood at her grave, he didn’t ask her not to be dead.

What he wishes now is that they’d never met, that he could rewind time and make a different choice. That she was still alive, a stranger living somewhere else. 

But then he wouldn’t have Rosie. He loves his daughter completely, protectively, without rhyme or reason. He wants the best life for her, the carefree childhood he never had. And he imagines her growing up without a mother—with a father who has chosen to be alone. 

He pictures her, a child with pigtails and a stubborn streak. A teenager able to go toe-to-toe with her father and still see reason, take a small step back when she’s wrong. A young woman with curly blond hair and a teasing smile. She leaves for uni, and he’s alone again. He grows old, and remembers.

Does he need Sherlock? 

Absolutely, desperately. Like air. 

Can he trust Sherlock? 

Probably not. And he won’t change him.

He misses Sherlock. Whatever they have been to one another, his heart wants him. 

Is it worth the risk?

He’s standing in the church reception hall, drinking a cup of terrible coffee. Sherlock is across the room, looking at him. His expression is sorrowful, not the fake sorrow he can put on during a case, pretending he cares. His hands are stuffed in his coat pockets and he’s slouching against the wall, watching John.

Coworkers from the surgery express their condolences. Mrs Hudson hugs him tearfully. Lestrade tells him they need to get together over a pint. He accepts their sympathy, makes small talk because that’s what people do. All the while, he feels Sherlock’s eyes like a magnet, pulling on him. 

As the hall begins to empty out, he can resist the pull no longer. Sherlock looks up, surprised, as John walks towards him. His pale eyes fill with tears. 

John has given up so much already. He doesn’t blame anyone but himself. Maybe he’ll never fully trust Sherlock, but he’s already forgiven him. 

Setting aside all his objections, laying down his anger and his regret, he surrenders.

When he pulls Sherlock into the hug he’s always wanted, this time Sherlock hugs back. John makes deductions. He can smell a cigarette, maybe two (nervous). He feels his ribs, still too prominent (unhappy). He’s trembling with the emotion he hates (love). The world may have lost a fine actor when Sherlock Holmes became a consulting detective, but this is not acting.

“Please come home,” Sherlock whispers.

John smiles into his shoulder, his own tears beginning. “Oh God, yes.”

[survivedthenight]

thinking again about the “was thinking maybe you’d be my best man’ scene… truly insane.

like focusing on john it’s obvious. the too-long loud silence after gale asks just says a million words john’ll never say aloud. but looking at gale, it’s been pointed out by many that he doesn’t look happy. sure it could be because they’re stuck in the stalag and he doesn’t know if the wedding will ever happen. but shouldn’t the idea of marge saying yes, of him being engaged, bring him some happiness in there? but he tells john like he’s confessing to a crime

the tension as they just look at each other after gale drops that bomb is so thick because essentially he’s asking john to do something akin to letting him go forever and they both know it even if it’s going to stay unspoken between them. and it’s like… if the circumstances were different this would be the time for john to confess that no he doesn’t want him to marry marge. and gale asking is almost like he’s creating that opening for john to protest? but ofc that will never happen. but also! it’s a kindness! john is drowning in the stalag and gale’s trying to tell him that they’ll get through this and see the other side of it together

anyway i think about this scene all the time

[celestetcetera]

Having finished binging all of BBC’s Sherlock for the first time, I would like to express the following opinions:

The show is actually so good. It’s incredibly camp & very entertaining. I can’t believe I let tumblr make me think it was bad for so long

My favorite season is season 3 followed closely by season 4. Fave episode was the sign of three, I love how the cases interconnected and it was adorable how hard Sherlock tried for John’s wedding

Mary honestly might be my favorite character lol. I wish we got more content with her. I liked how they handled her death though, was very fun to see John & Sherlock spiral into a depression

Honestly I kinda just wish we got more content in general. The 3 episodes at 90 minutes format kept my attention the entire time, but I really wish the show had something closer to the 13 episodes of 45 minutes like a lot of other things had at the time. I would’ve loved more “filler” episodes where we got to step back from the overarching plot and just solve some random crimes

Also think that format would’ve benefitted the Moriarty seasons. Felt like we kinda speedran him as a villain and I would’ve loved for him to be an ominous presence through more cases

I can absolutely see how seasons 1-2 gaslit people into thinking johnlock was gonna be canon and that’s very unfortunate bc the far better interpretation (imo) is Sherlock is aroace af and he and John are in a QPR (neither are aware of this, but Mary knows).

People seem to hate the ending episode a lot but tbh I quite liked it. I like Eurus and Sherlock’s dynamic towards the end though I do wish they didn’t re-imprison her. Also Molly deserved one goddamn scene where Sherlock apologized to her

Terry Silver and my three random items - a spoon, a tablecloth, and the bathroom door.

Thankyou ☺️🌹

A Loaded Gun - Terry begins to struggle after John Kreese turns up on your doorstep.

Letting Go - It takes you leaving for Terry to realise he needs to make a change.

Stranglehold - Terry begs an unlikely duo for help.

Three Men & A Baby - You discover you're pregnant at an unforunate time.

Self Defence - You wake up to John Kreese's hands around your throat.

You don’t realise that Terry’s home, not until you hear the light rap of his knuckles on the opposite of bathroom door.

“I’ll be out in a minute.” You say as you wipe the back of your hand across your eyes chasing away the tears that are leaking down your cheeks. You hear his footsteps retreat before you run the washcloth under the tap and dab at your blotchy features in the mirror.

It’s another ten minutes before you leave the bathroom and Terry's in the kitchen, stirring a cup of chamomile tea with spoon. The clean laundry you’d abandoned on the kitchen table has already been folded neatly and placed on the corner to be put away.

You don’t say anything as you sit down, instead your fingertips trace over the patterns on the table cloth before he sets the mug down in front of you.

“Georgia.” He says softly. “Will you look at me?”

You tilt your head away instead because you know the moment he sees your face he’ll know what’s happened, that you had another flashback. You’ve been having them  a lot since John Kreese tried to kill you. You can’t sleep in the master bedroom. You can’t even go near it. Instead the door rests ominously shut, a reminder of the worst night of your life.

“My love.” He says gently as kneels down in front of you so that he can make eye contract. “We can’t live here anymore.”

“But it’s your home.” You say quietly. “I don’t want to take that from you.”

Terry’s lived in this place for as long as you’ve known him, it’s changed a little since you moved in but this has always been his sanctuary, the place he goes to to get away from the rest of world.

“Not anymore.” He says sadly as he uses his fingertips to brush a stray strand of hair back behind your ear. “Every time I pull up, I’m reminded of that night…”

You know what he means, the blue and red flashing lights, the police cars, the ambulance, the crime scene tape, all of it is still stark, still fresh for the both of you.

“I’ve booked us a flight to Osaka tomorrow.” He tells you as he clasps your hands in his. “While we’re away an agent will put together some listings for us for when we return and this house will go on the market.”

“Terry…” You begin but he shakes his head to silence your protest.

“I can’t live here anymore, knowing what he tried to do to you.” He whispers, his thumb tracing over your wedding ring. “Everywhere I look I see my failure and it’s like he’s in my head all over again.”

“You didn’t fail me.” You reassure him, your forehead coming to rest upon his. “I promise you, you didn’t.”

Terry swallows hard against the ache in his chest. He wants to believe you but he knows the truth. He brought John Kreese into your life, he may as well of tried to strangle you himself.

Ok for some reason my brain is hyper focusing on Johnlock again like I won't regret it 2-3 business days from now when I come out of it with 5 new open AO3 tabs (out of my already 156 open AO3 tabs not counting other unfinished/unread fic/fic I've not caught up on, full disclosure) for fic that I probably won't finish reading and/or while being unable to find the. Very Specific. fic I want to read and just having like an open half-filtered tab... But Anyway.

Here's a Very Rare Johnlock Post from me lol

Imagine after all the seasons are over and Johnlock are old and have finally talked about their feelings and properly, actually, gotten officially together

(and subsequently gotten married in like 2 months cause Sherlock filled out the paperwork while John was not actually at home and then actually having a discussion about it when John finds out it happened cause Sherlock casually mentions it and actually agrees after Sherlock mentions (read: steamrolls over him, anxiously) them practically already being married by common law and just officialising it for the tax benefits... they only have a proper wedding, maybe on their/an anniversary when Mrs Hudson finds out probably 6 months later or sth and complains,, but I've gone on a tangent again)

Anyway Rosie is a teenager, with after-school activities and a phone.

I'm just imagining Sherlock dragging John out on a murder case (read: date) and deciding to feed him midway through (like always, tbh,, sth sth that post about feeding the depressed man that tends to forget to eat but I digress)

So Rosie gets a text and a voicemail from the two of them (cause Sherlock prefers to text and tell me John is not the sort to leave voicemails, like he would have put it on the voicemail machine if they had one he's so old man sometimes)

And it goes something like:

[Text from Papa]

Ragù Bolognese, Angelo's, 7pm. Hugs. -SH

[Voicemail from Dad]

"Hi honey, it's Dad.

Sorry we won't be able to make it to dinner with you, your father's got a case and you know how he gets...

Anyway, Mrs Hudson is going out tonight remember, so your Papa is booking the usual table at Angelo's for you... You still like the Spaghetti Bolognese right?

Don't worry about us, we'll eat before we get home. And the reservation is at 7, so don't be late. This will probably take a while so don't wait up either and go straight to bed young lady, you hear me?

Anyway I've got to go, loveyoubye."

Anyway I think it would be very cute, like they love and care about her, even if they're old men who laugh at crime scenes and whose ideal date is trying to catch a murderer together, and they show it by taking a moment to make sure she's fed with her favorite food even when they're busy solving crime, so yeah.

Sherlock and Shoscombe

So, after the deep dive I did with Sherlock & Co and the issues with the Case of Identity storyline, I thought it was only fair that I talk about their take on The Adventure at Shoscombe Old Place.

*Ahem*.....This was a lot of fun! I just looked up a summary of the original story because I didn't remember it well, and no wonder! It was the very last Sherlock Holmes story Doyle published, later collected into The Casebook, and thus...one of the boring ones. I'm sorry. I really don't like The Casebook stories. It's also the last batch of stories that the Doyle estate was clutching onto before Sherlock went fully into the public domain, which makes the story feel doubly tedious to me.

But! These episodes were a blast! Practically a survey of all the best parts of Sherlock & Co! There's fun banter! Heaps of character background! A really clever update to the original set-up! BRILLIANT acting and foley work! A cheeky cameo! And a truly exciting, satisfying end! I think this is the most direct information we've gotten about John's past since, well ever, but certainly since we learned about his memories of his dad. Now we know that he grew up in a very class-divided town that once felt so much bigger. And he was deeply in love once, with a woman he lost partially because of classism. (Which is such a great mirror for Beatrice and her husband's situation!) He also lost his friends because they had privileges he didn't. (Did John join the military partly as a way to get away from his roots? Out of a desperate need to be praised as a hero?)

No wonder John has so much resentment for the wealthy when it's so deeply personal. I think it's going to be comically awkward and VERY interesting when he finds out that Sherlock is mega super rich. Holmes is often theorized to be the son of a lord in canon. I figure he's at least from a wealthy family that was able to pay for him to go to tons of fancy schools. And then personal tutors. And a full-time staff that always took care of cleaning and stocking up the groceries. (For all his observation skills, I do think Sherlock grew up never considering who made his household run.) I think part of why Sherlock has been so touchy about John's anger at rich people is because Sherlock is SUPER nervous it would ruin their friendship. I am also so pumped to see what the podcast does with Mycroft! I wonder if his autism might be more limiting than Sherlock's. Like he's got the genius skills, he's got the deceptively powerful government job, but he can't handle going out into the world. Going to Baker Street would be an ordeal. Might have a full meltdown if he's not at home, work, or whatever the Diogenes Club is updated to. But.....It's hard to tell how much Sherlock & Co wants us to suspend our disbelief about some things. John and Sherlock have very clearly committed a LOT of crimes on their publicly available podcast. Maybe that will never be addressed or MAYBE Sherlock, Mycroft, or other Holmes allies have been bribing and intervening to keep them from getting arrested. Imagine the drama! "You hate the rich, but you owe all your success to MY money and power, 'Dr.' John Watson!" *Blinks rapidly*

Where was I? Oh yeah, Shoscombe. That. God. Damn. Chase. Scene! So bold for a podcast to have a climax with a car chase at the center. The foley work was top-notch for the driving and the terrain and then the crash and sinking in the lake. Whoever plays John Watson, you did an incredible job! The reckless car chase where, OF COURSE, he still narrates everything, the diving for Robert (and the clever layer of the recorder fritzing), and that CPR! It was all so engaging and believable! I love when John does doctor stuff generally, but this was my favorite example since the gunshot wound at the wedding with The Solitary Cyclist. Not sure I buy Robert's at-home crematorium as being 100% good, but I can believe John thinks so. Might help that John's a bit more desensitized to cutting into corpses than most folks. Finally, I'm sure folks are quite excited that a certain James made a cameo. (Maybe he's interested in why Sherlock and John keep getting away with all their crimes.) I knew he was going to show up at some point, and making Moriarty a listener shout-out is delightful. I just hope it's a while longer before he's ON the show. It always frustrates me when Moriarty winds up becoming basically Lex Luthor. Then again, we've already had similar cameos for Irene Adler and Baskerville Hall (and probably some I've missed) without them showing up yet. We'll see how it goes!

Good job, Sherlock & Co! I'm excited to see what you do next!

RECENT MFLs

John's Wedding Speech by jawnscoffee (G, 790 w., 1 Ch. || Wedding Fluff) – Maybe I shouldn’t have let my husband hold his speech first because it’s way harder to leave a good impression when there’s already a winner.

Show Me Your Flaws by holmesian_love (NR, 8,271+ w., 2/14 Ch. || Coffee Shop AU || WIP || Angst with Happy Ending, Alternate First Meeting, Developing Relationship, Musician Sherlock, Friendship) – John Watson is lost in the world. Back from Afghanistan as an invalided soldier, with no purpose in life, he takes up a suggestion from an old friend and tries a bit of a life change. Only now, he finds himself stuck in a new, tedious situation with no money or friends. That is, until a dark, talented stranger crosses his path and suddenly life doesn’t seem quite so boring anymore. But how can John begin to win over someone like that, when he feels so flawed? And how can he capture the attention of the dashing man who keeps disappearing…

I'm sorry but I'm about to treat your ask box like a confessional.

You kind of deserve it, though, because due to your Sherlock rewatch posts I've been forced to remember that 1. Sherlock is a show that exists and 2. that I wrote Sherlock fanfic when I was 13... about SHERLOCK and MOLLY.

In my defence, I was a deeply deeply deeply repressed bisexual who hadn't realized it yet - so all of the obvious and insane gay stuff between Sherlock and John just completely sailed over my head. Also propaganda worked really well on me as a child - so basically I was the ideal viewer for Moftiss lol. There'd be scenes where people mistook Sherlock and John for a couple and I'd go 'huh that's kind of strange that keeps happening' but then it would be played off as a joke and I'd go 'oh yes of course, silly me! Gay people only exist as the punchline! Sherlock and John would NEVER be interested in each other that way. I can't believe anyone would ever think that haha.'

Flash forward to 2017. I'm 17 years old. I've kissed other women by now and have had my brain chemistry rewritten by copious amounts of slash fanfiction. Still young, but wiser to the ways of the world than I once was. The last time I watched Sherlock, I had been 14 years old. Sherlock season 4 airs. I watch it with my mom. It's so bad my brain immediately initiates a trauma response and wipes all memory of Sherlock away. This continues for years. The only times I remember Sherlock exists is whenever I joyfully watch hbomerguy's Sherlock Is Garbage video while I'm knitting or painting or something. Also whenever I have to type in a password for an account I made when I was 13 - because my go-to password was 'SHERLOCKED' back then, unfortunately.

Flash forward to now. I'm 24 years old. And I start seeing your posts about Sherlock. Like a sleeper agent, it awakens something in me. Yesterday, I spent a perfectly good Saturday - one I could have spent doing literally anything else - reading Johnlock fanfiction. I am suddenly re experiencing the show through new eyes, seeing all the queerbait I never did before. Getting hate-crimed on the daily. I'm thinking about Sherlock at work, at my adult fucking job. I'm watching scenes from the show on youtube in my office, quickly and guiltily clicking away whenever a coworker comes to chat. I am considering doing my own rewatch. I am realizing for the first time that John and Sherlock were literally in love. It's the only lens through which you can view the show and still have it be somewhat enjoyable. They literally put Mary in a wedding dress shooting Sherlock in his mind palace on TV. I feel like I'm having a religious experience, I feel like I'm insane, I feel like I'm 13 again. This is all vaguely November 5th-ish for me lol.

Anyway. I just thought you should know the impact your rewatch is having on the population. Sorry for the novel in your inbox. I've been desperately trying to find my old Sherlock x Molly fanfic to read for the lols but I think I deleted it off ffnet. I am both having the time of my life while also desperately hoping I forget Sherlock ever existed again soon. So, basically - thank you/curse you for this.

This is perhaps the best ask I’ve ever received?? I converted a sherlolly shipper in the year 2023? Listen I’d never wish a season 4 rewatch on anyone but I would highly recommend watching s1-2 and the wedding episode for a truly out of body experience. I felt more strongly about this show/ship than any other in my life and it was STILL worse than I remembered

[empressgeekt]

I finished reading this really cool fic in a ‘what if Clay received the Brozone letter?’ AU and it kinda miffed me that they described Pop Troll village with zero defenses (there ain’t no way Branch doesn’t have anything post trolls 1&2) so I mashed the Field of Forget Me Nots AU into it and it’s a very fun take! Especially when you add Keith to the hijinks 😁

The fic is called ‘Caught in the Middle’ and other than the zero defense thing (that I am taking way too personally) it’s a seriously good read!

Oh! I have read that one it's very good. Hmm...if such events were to happen in FoF it could go a number of ways...

When entering Bergentown, JD, Bruce, Clay and Viva are apprehended by the Forest Guard (Probably Tresillo, Spoiler I'm having him and his crew join up with the guard after TWT). They arrest are merry band of Out-of-the-Loopers, holding them until after the ceremony. Viva would be trying to talk to the guards trying to tell them that they were all in danger of the bergens, and they would give no reaction other then looking at her like she's crazy. They'd bring Branch in, and he'd be pissed off after Viva started talking. "it's my job to keep trolls safe and you causing a scene wouldn't be good for anyone." "If you're supposed to keep them safe why haven't you escaped!?" Needless to say they don't get every far in terms of having and actual conversation. JD would step in trying to get back on topic. Branch would shut that down having recognized his brothers and would not want them to go poking around his new family. "Bitty B hasn't been seen the in village since before the escape. It's all to easy for a trolling to get lost in the tunnels. I'm sorry but your brother is dead." Enter Poppy, carrying a hungry Keith. The queen wants to know what's the hold up because it's time for the reception, and Keith wants some cake, during which she'd say Branch's name cue, very awkward meeting. John Dory would still initiate the hug and still get bitten by Keith. Viva still has her panic but she can't run away with all the guards, leaving both her and Poppy to stew in shock and hurt, but quickly make up. The Brother's not so much. Branch isn't gradually reintroduced to them, so he doesn't have time to get excited about a reunion it's just straight bitterness, even more so with Keith present and his own experience as a big brother himself. At some point Branch would have to pull Poppy away to explain his side of everything. The elder brother's would use this chance to introduce themselves to their, as they assume, "Nephew". Keith's having none of it. Only corrects them saying he was Branch's real brother and then ignores them. They would bring Peppy in and things get ever more awkward, and Branch lays into him. At some point, they'd explain what happened to chef and how she was burned alive for her crimes, which would lead to how Branch missed it due to being in the hospital from the knife wound she gave him. He'd take the helmet off revealing his scar (and maybe eye patch). Brozone is horrified. Keith would twist the dagger in that guilt wound by saying something like, "It was hard since we didn't have any family to help. I had to stay with Poppy, while Branch was in a coma."

Or...they'd successfully get pass the guard and manage to grab Poppy. Only this time they don't just grab Poppy, she's had been mid hug with Keith when Viva snatched her, que very protective and pissed off Branch. This man jumped in front of a powercord for Poppy and Keith, no one is taking them on his watch. He holds his Brothers and Viva at sword point, his soldiers quickly surrounding them, drawing their bows. He recognizes them, but currently he's too mad to care. Viva tries to talk to Poppy, which leads to a freak out, when Viva tries to run, Branch would hit her with a blow dart knocking her out. The next few minutes are tense, Branch tells Poppy to take Keith back to the wedding, and sends all the guards back to their posts. Bruce John and Clay would try to talk to him, but Branch cuts them off, he's not in the mood to talk, so he paces until Poppy comes back, this time with her father. Keith would run over and hug Branch, before crawling into his hair. After Branch loses it at Peppy for a moment, they eventually decide to regroup at Pop village. Viva conked out on the bed in Rhonda as they drive. In the journey, Keith would hop out of Branch's hair to only give Poppy a hug and steal some of the gummy worms she had been hiding in her puffy skirt. With a calmer atmostphere, the Brothers would get a full story on the bergens out of the couple and trolling. Branch would take off his helmet, and reveal the scarring, much to the brother's horror. Branch and Keith are very salty the whole trip.

A few events that happen later would remain the same. Like Clay burning the Funderdrawers, keith would only comment that Clay and John, "Look stupid" Fighting over underwear.

However there would still be many differences, Keith wouldn't eat anything that Bruce cooked so Branch would make dinner, and later in the night, I think that they would peek in on Branch putting Keith to bed, and it really sealing in that these two are family. Jealousy over this and hurt over how closed off Branch is would burn really bad. Espeically for Clay, "Who was this Kid anyway? just a stray that anyone could've picked up!" Clay doesn't like unknown variables and Keith is an unknown. For some reason with this kid here, he thinks that branch wouldn't help them, since he has a brother that he clearly likes better then any of them. Bruce in this context would be a little hurt but he gets it, he had a family of his own now as well. John would come around. More family the merrier.

While practicing Branch would be much more vocal about not breaking out in to an argument in front of Keith, and get them to all shut up after a first run through. John Dory would probably, say that Keith wouldn't sing with them because....technically not family...Branch, Poppy and Keith would glare at him for this. But secretly Branch would be relived not wanting Keith wrapped up in the boy band nonsense. I have a feeling that Branch and Keith would pick up on Clay's hesitance about moving earlier. Keith's very aware, and Branch had to become better at reading people sing Keith's is usually so flat in emotional display. Clay wouldn't want Branch's help at first though, to embarrassed and in denial to take help form his baby brother and the orphan he took in.

When the Putt Putts are having diffuclty believing in a bergen truce, Branch would take off his helmet showing his scar and claiming, "Even if the bergens were still a threat, we have a full militia of trolls trained to take down the largest of predators." "Bergens?" "Even Bergens...wolves, snakes, birds, take your pick. I've taken them all down." "Really?" "B*tch, I stabbed the chef for f*ck's sake! What do you think this scar is?! A fashion statement?!"

When reuniting with Floyd. Branch wouldn't go over to the bottle with the others, he'd stay by Poppy, cradling Keith because all the strangers looking at them would make the kid uncomfortable. After hearing Bruce say that he was an Uncle, Floyd would make the incorrect assumption that Keith was branch's son, and he feels bad about missing out on that. Also the fact that Branch barely interacts with him, when comparison the Puttputts ask about the militia Branch happily talks to them, hurts. it hurts bad. Little Keith hasn't look his way once. Floyd would also be confused as to why, John or Branch didn't want Keith in the song with them. Kid's family it's a family harmony.

Probably by the end of it all it would be pretty similar to the epilogue of the usually FoF. Viva and definitely a few of the puttputts would Join the guard, and Clay would as well, focusing on mor domestic safety things while Branch worried about protection from outside forces, war, predators, natural disasters etc. A nice attention to an already goo protection system.

A Study of the Heart and Brain (Book 3) Chapter Eleven

Father Figure! Sherlock Holmes x Teen! Reader

Chapter Eleven: Delayed Murder

Summary: Sherlock continues his speech, but (Y/N) realizes something is wrong at the wedding.

Present…

            “Married,” said Sherlock as he arrived at the end of what he, John, and (Y/N) had uncovered on the case. “Obvious, really. Our Mayfly Man was trying to escape the suffocating chains of domesticity and instead of endless nights in watching telly or going to barbecues with awful, dreadful, boring people he couldn’t stand, he used his wits, cleverness, and powers of disguise to play the field. He was…” Sherlock trailed off as he noticed he’d lost the audience. He’d gotten a little too lost in his own mind as he went back over the case.

            Next to him, John cleared his throat, and Sherlock focused.

            (Y/N) just sat there and furrowed their brow. They were back and stuck on the secrets being the only link. Marriage didn’t feel like the answer. There still felt like there was something more.

            “On second thought, I should probably have told you about the Elephant in the Room,” continued Sherlock. “However, it does further illustrate how invaluable John is to me. I can read a crime scene the way he can understand a human being. I used to think that’s what made me special, quite frankly. But word to the wise: should any of you require the service of either (Y/N) or myself, we will solve your murder, but it takes John Watson to save your life. Trust me on that—I should know. He’s saved mine and (Y/N)’s so many times in so many ways. This blog is the story of three people and their frankly ridiculous adventures of murder, mystery, and mayhem. But from now on, there’s a new story—a bigger adventure. Friends and family, pray raise your glasses and be upstanding.” Sherlock raised his glass, and the guests stood and did the same.

            (Y/N) stood, but they were just following what everyone else did. Unsolved cases were on their mind. First Bainbridge was nearly killed with no rhyme or reason and without a weapon. Then the disappearing date working his way up from someone separate from their employer to someone who would be close. As if someone was trying to get closer to someone to be able to kill them. Of course, then he’d need a way to kill the person, but (Y/N) didn’t need to know that yet, they needed to know who the Mayfly Man was and who he was trying to get close to and then (Y/N) could figure out how he was planning to kill whoever—

            “Today begins the adventures of Mary Elizabeth Watson and John Hamish Watson. The two reasons why every single of us is here today,” said Sherlock.

            Crash!

            (Y/N)’s glass fell to the ground. Everyone turned towards them in surprise.

            Hamish. Hamish, Hamish, Hamish.

            “Annoying. Called John…Hamish…”

            That’s what Sherlock had told (Y/N) Tessa had said. She knew his middle name, which he hated. He never used it except for the wedding invitations. (Y/N) knew the truth in the instant: the Mayfly Man was here. He was going to kill a guest at the wedding.

            “(Y/N)?” said Sherlock.

            “Sorry,” said (Y/N) absently, eyes coursing over the guests. “Sorry.”

            And since he had to be able to kill someone without bringing in a weapon—anyone who knew John Watson knew that he would notice a weapon—he needed to kill without one.

            Like Bainbridge…

            (Y/N) stood and cleared their throat. All eyes were on them. They wanted to freeze up, but they had a job to do. They had to find the victim. (Y/N) had to make sure they didn’t die.

            “Sorry, everyone,” they said. They squared their shoulders, and they stepped down from the head table. “I just—I realized I would like a chance to speak.”

            Sherlock and John exchanged glances, and Sherlock furrowed his brow. (Y/N) had figured something out. He knew his kid. This was intentional.

            “You see, I met John Hamish Watson when I was young teen,” said (Y/N). Their gaze flicked to Sherlock as they said “Hamish,” and his eyes lit up as he made the connection, his mind quickly going to what (Y/N) had realized.

            They continued, “And, listen, I have a great dad, but Sherlock isn’t the most responsible adult on the planet.” Several laughs and snorts rippled through the crowd in agreement. “So I’m glad John is in my life. He takes care of me and Sherlock and always saves everyone he can. He makes everyone’s lives better.”

            (Y/N) walked around the different tables, eyes coursing over the group. They gazed for a moment at the photographer, but they continued on. He didn’t matter right then. (Besides, there was both Sherlock and (Y/N) to handle that part, and they knew Sherlock had it).

            “And, uh, he makes me and Sherlock want to be better,” said (Y/N). “So even if there is a murderer in the room, I want to be like John and help the victim, first.” They looked at Sherlock and John. “Because that’s what we’re meant to do, especially with Vatican Cameos.”

            John stiffened, and Sherlock nodded in understanding. Someone might die in the room.

            “What did they say?” asked Mary in confusion. “What’s that mean?”

            “Battle Stations. Someone’s going to die,” said John. “Who is it, Sherlock?”

            “(Y/N)’s getting there,” said Sherlock, watching (Y/N)’s eyes scan the crowd. “I’ll handle the other.” He kept his gaze on (Y/N) in case they were in danger while he typed out a message to Lestrade.

            His phone dinged, and Lestrade frowned as he opened it. Then, he raised his eyebrows in surprise and looked up at Sherlock. The detective nodded, and Lestrade rose. “Sorry, sorry, need the loo,” said Lestrade, walking out of the room awkwardly.

            The part of (Y/N)’s mind focused on the killer finally switched off, and every part of their brain honed in on the possible victim. They clapped and smiled around at everyone. “Alright, so, John loves a good murder mystery, so let’s play a game. Who would you kill here?”

            Everyone looked at them in alarm, and (Y/N) waved a hand. They couldn’t really do speeches, but they could solve cases. They were in their element. “Relax. This is just a game. Now, some of you could be easy. John has already proved pretty easy to test compounds on—” John frowned in confusion “—so it wouldn’t need to be a wedding. Several of you here are a little too easy to kill, so again, it wouldn’t need to be here.”

            (Y/N) folded their hands and turned to face the head table with a smirk. “It would have to be the celebration itself. It would have to be the only opportunity for murder, so clearly someone who doesn’t go out much. A recluse.”

            Mary and John’s eyes widened, and Sherlock damn-near grinned in pride as he and (Y/N) arrived at the conclusions simultaneously. (Y/N) was growing sharper, more observant.

            “A recluse with a small household staff with high turnover. The staff would include at least a few security workers, a gardener, a cook, a maid, and even a private nurse,” continued (Y/N) excitedly as they made all the connections. “And then you have to kill them in public, which is impossible, but Bainbridge was, so there is a way, and that means the two must be similar in some way, and the only significant thing about Bainbridge was his post as a guard.” (Y/N)’s ramble finished, and they took a deep breath as all the adrenaline kicked in. “Uniform. Recluse.” Sholto.

            (Y/N) stopped, and everyone stared. They smiled. “Everyone, there will be a brief interlude! Raise your glasses to the bride and groom!”

            The guests looked at each other in confusion and hesitantly raised their glasses. (Y/N) darted up to the head table.

            “Someone’s going to murder Major Sholto,” said (Y/N).

            John and Sherlock stood.

            “Let’s go,” said Sherlock.

            “I’m coming, too,” said Mary.

            “No, no, it could be dangerous,” said John worriedly.

            “It’s my wedding, too,” said Mary firmly.

            “No time for this,” said (Y/N), scanning the room. “He’s gone.”

            “He’s being roomed here,” said Mary.

            Sherlock led the charge out of the reception room to find Sholto.

            “What room is he in?” asked John as they ran.

            “No idea,” said (Y/N).

            “Why should we know?” asked Sherlock.

            “You two remember everything!” cried John.

            “We have to delete something,” said Sherlock.

            “I just didn’t care,” said (Y/N).

            “207,” said Mary, saving the day.

            The entire group ran up the stairs down the hall to Room 207.

            Sherlock banged on the door. “Major Sholto? Major Sholto!”

            “Major Sholto!” called (Y/N).

            “If someone’s about to make an attempt on my life, it won’t be the first time. I’m ready,” declared Sholto. He had heard the explanation (Y/N) gave and realized it was him as soon as they said “recluse.”

            “Major, let us in,” said John.

            “Kick the door down,” said Mary.

            “I really wouldn’t. I have a gun in my hand and a lifetime of unfortunate reflexes,” said Sholto.

            “You’re not safe in there. Whoever’s after you, we know that a locked room doesn’t stop him,” said Sherlock.

            “The invisible man with the invisible night,” said Sholto.

            “Yes, the man who tried to kill Bainbridge was practicing for you because he wears a uniform similar to yours,” said (Y/N).

            “But we don’t know how he does it, so we can’t stop him, and that means he’ll do it again,” said Sherlock.

            “Solve it, then,” said Sholto.

            “I’m sorry?” said Sherlock.

            “You’re the famous Sherlock and (Y/N) Holmes—” (Y/N) blinked at the last name they were given “—Solve the case. On you go. Tell me how he did it, and I’ll open the door,” said Sholto.

            “Please, this is no time for games. Just let us in! You’re in danger!” cried John.

            “So are you, as long as you’re here,” said Sholto. “Please, leave me. Despite my reputation, I really don’t approve of collateral damage.”

            “Solve it,” said Mary.

            “Sorry?” said Sherlock, and (Y/N) frowned and shifted hesitantly.

            “Solve it and he’ll open the door, like he said,” said Mary.

            “If we couldn’t solve it before, how can we solve it now?” said Sherlock.

            “Because it matters now,” said Mary.

            “What are you talking about?” Sherlock looked at John. “What’s she talking about?”

            “She’s right,” said John.

            “John, we’re trying,” said (Y/N).

            “We tried before, and we can’t now,” said Sherlock.

            John leveled a look on Sherlock. “You are not puzzle solvers—you never have been. You’re drama queens!” Sherlock and (Y/N) looked at him in offended silence, and John barreled on, “Now, there is a man in there about to die. The game is on. Solve it!”

            “I’m doing it, but I’m not a drama queen,” muttered (Y/N).

            “No, this is an ‘enrichment’ activity, according to Sherlock,” said John, rolling his eyes.

            “Bainbridge was chosen because he was a guard. That’s similar to Major Sholto in his uniform,” murmured (Y/N).

            “So is the job the link or the uniform,” said Sherlock.

            “Uniform,” decided (Y/N), and Sherlock nodded.

            “Wound was here,” said Sherlock, placing his hand over his stomach.

            “Belt!” said (Y/N) excitedly as Sherlock’s eyes widened. They spoke the realization he had made at the same moment.

            Sherlock knocked on the door. “Major Sholto, no one’s coming to kill you. I’m afraid you’ve already been killed several hours ago.”

            “What did you say?” came Sholto’s voice from within.

            “Don’t take off your belt,” said (Y/N). Upon hearing curious silence, they continued, “Bainbridge was stabbed through his belt while on duty. It’s tight and high on the waist, so he couldn’t feel it. Major Sholto wears his uniform similarly, so he didn’t notice, either.”

            “The belt would bind the flesh together when it was tied tight, and when you took it off…” John trailed off.

            “You have a locked room killer as you bleed out within five minutes from just taking off your belt,” said (Y/N).

            “Delayed action stabbing. All the time in the world to create an alibi,” said Sherlock. Silence. “Major Sholto?”

            “So, I was to be killed by my uniform. How appropriate,” said Sholto.

            “They solved the case, Major. You’re supposed to open the door now. A deal is a deal,” said Mary.

            “I’m not even supposed to have this anymore,” admitted Sholto. “They gave me special dispensation to keep it. I couldn’t imagine life without this uniform. I suppose—given the circumstances—I don’t have to…When so many want you dead, it hardly seems good manners to argue.”

            “Whatever you’re doing in there, James, stop it, right now. I will kick this door down,” shouted John.

            “Mr. Holmes, you and I are similar, I think,” said Sholto.

            “Yes, I think we are,” said Sherlock.

            “There’s a proper time to die, isn’t there?” remarked Sholto.

            “Of course there is,” said Sherlock.

            “And one should embrace it when it comes, like a soldier,” said Sholto.

            “Of course, but not at John Watson’s wedding,” said (Y/N) sharply, their voice ringing clear and true. “You wouldn’t harm him like that.”

            “We wouldn’t do that to him, would me? You and me—we would never do that to John Watson,” said Sherlock.

            Silence.

            John shifted nervously. “I’m gonna break it down.”

            The lock clicked, and Mary grabbed John before he hurt himself.

            “No, wait, wait, you won’t have to,” she said.

            The door opened, and Sholto stepped out, still in his uniform with the belt tight around his waist.

            “I believe I am in need of medical attention,” he said formally.

            “I believe I am your doctor,” said John, stepping into the room with Sholto. Mary followed him in.

            “We did it,” said (Y/N), their shoulders sagging in relief.

            Sherlock reached out and patted their shoulder. “You saw it first. You made sure he had a chance.”

            “Well, you were right,” said (Y/N). “John makes us want to help people.”

            Sherlock smiled. “At least you have one good role model.”

            (Y/N) leaned in and let Sherlock hug them from the side. “I have a pretty good dad.”

            Sherlock squeezed their shoulder. They were father and child, and they were back as a team.

[am-i-tho]

can't sleep here are my ideas for sherlock adaptations/series 5 plans (disclaimer: I don't think a series 5 will happen neither do I want it to bc I know it'd be BULLSHIT but regardless)

series 5:

mockumentary style, I like the idea of someone (in universe) deciding to make a documentary about sherlock holmes's life and career, interviewing him and the people of his life 10 or so years from where we left off. (plus of john convincing him to do it and partnering up with the producers since he kind of dedicated a good bit of his life to document sherlock)

to me the ideal would be as much episodes as it'd be necessary but if I wanted to work out around the already established format, it'd be 4 episodes and each would treat the events of each season

first episode: how they met, what it was like getting to know each other, first impressions, life living together, their past and childhoods, delving on their feelings about moriarty's first appearance and how john kind of getting disillusioned with sherlock prior to it.

(I like the idea of mycroft being overlooked when discussing specificities bc of his government reputation and whatnot lmao)

second episode: their most memorable cases, the good years, going over dear memories and getting testimonies from molly and lestrade (I'd LOVE to hear Mrs Hudson too :( rip una🤍)

being a bit vague about irene adler(had to go to his blog to see how much he wrote about it lol) but giving more details ofc, talking about the baskerville, John teasing sherlock about being afraid and so "my body is only transport" back then; telling him off on camera over doing experiments on him and whatnot

then moving on to the fucking TRAGEDY and how john dealt with sherlock being discredited by the media, his own conflicting ideas; MAJOR LESTRADE SPEAKING SCENES HERE!!! (I'd like also to have Sally doing a little interview over the phone cause she wouldn't want to show her face but would definetly speak her piece)

third episode [first half]: john centric, him talking about grief, going over places and things he'd do, stuff he kept, meeting mary and how much she helped and was understanding etc; lestrade talking about the media slowly coming around, about Anderson going mad with guilt, about him thinking about him in crime scenes when trying to move on

(I'd LOVE to have Harry appearing and talking about how he was at the time from her perspective as his sister)

I'd like for molly to tell her piece and how it felt holding this secret for so long, and the cognitive dissonance over knowing he was alive and still grieving. (Also, I think it'd be nice for her to read out a written message that mycroft sent speaking about his own grief since he wouldn't appear on camera? maybe? idk)

then it'd move to sherlock speaking a bit about some stuff he did and how lonely and scary it was at the time, what he did to comfort himself, what was he thinking at the time ----> finishing with john and him talking over seeing each other again, the mixed feelings, sherlock getting whiplashed by reality. (mostly about what did it take for them to understand each other again bc that scene in the tube car was NOT ENOUGH)

[second half] going over the wedding, sherlock talking about his actual feeling at the time, the sinking feeling they both felt in the end of the episode, sherlock going back to drugs, John seeing him with Janine and the fake engagement. (Tho not really necessary if this time could be used for other things)

i REALLY don't know how they would/should deal with mary being the one who shot sherlock and all. maybe it'd be alright since she is already dead but I'm not sure. Plus I have not idea if they'd talk about Magnuseem AT ALL but at least let's say they'd talk about mary having a past she would not like to let out and how sherlock being shot was related to it.

fourth episode: discussions about the last months of mary being alive, how fast life had become and how they'd try to keep up with each other. (assuming it'd be safe to talk about her case) sherlocks guilt over mary taking a bullet for him, how john started resenting sherlock, their fall out, sherlock relapsing etc

I'm not sure if eurus would be brought up at all but it'd be nice to hear them talk about what it was like having to build their home from the ground (since everything exploded) and having to deal with the rawness that all these experiences back to back left them with.

most of all I want them to discuss "the lying detective" case (aka culverton smith) bc it's one my favorites eps from the show and I want them to TALK ABOUT IT

(note: I want to make it clear that they would be only unraveling it for the cameras bc of the documentary, since it would be implied that at some point they had a healthy and open conversation about all of these events previously)

some details: rosie is of course there too, as an eleven y/o and she also appears sometimes to talk about living with john and sherlock as guardians

the format might alternate between the documentary and actual "show scenes" if that makes sense (since some stuff might not be discussed in front of the cameras)

they'd be probably living out of bakerstreet by this point but would go back to shoot some scenes and show old stuff (picking this headcanon from a fic whereMrs Hudson left 221 baker street building for sherlock in her will)

sherlock being a brat about doing interviews but being very diligent when showing his bees

it'd be very heavily implied that they are together romantically now (e.g: sherlock talking about feeling distressed during wedding planning, john telling how dazzled he was when first meeting him etc)(plus them literally raising a daughter together lol)

(I'd like to show rosie and them interacting and rosie calling both of them dad or something similar). nothing explicit in camera tho. maybe in the "non-documentary" bits

John’s Enchantress. 

Sabrina is from my 3 witches trilogy series but I just love their playfulness when I write them together in a scene. I think with both of them being fun loving,cheeky and young spirited it would make for a great couple. In this series Sabrina is original to the world, not a time traveler and I made her an only child. Enjoy. 

                                                                     1902

Seven year old John was out enjoying the fair with his brothers and  sister Ada. They had made it to the river where the Lee, DeGhant and Gold family were bathing horses and camping. 

John was on a mission. He was hiding and trying to get away from his stalker. His brothers were amused and teased him that they should have a wedding by the river. John didn’t think it was funny. They had been camping and selling horses in the fair for two days. One more day to go and he would be free of the annoying five year old blonde gypsy girl. He leaned forward around a Lee caravan. She wasn’t in sight. Good. He stepped out with the confidence of a rooster, to approach his mother who was in a lively discussion with Mrs. Gold about hedgehog stew. He was almost to the safety of his caravan when a shrill little girl voice rang out.

“John Shelby! I found you! Now chase me!” The girl giggled and ran toward the river as fast as she could. She stopped and turned. A pout adorning her face as she stomped. “John Shelby! You're a rat’s bottom.” She stomped off to the laughter of John’s Uncle Charlie and his father. 

“John Shelby!” His mothers usually sweet voice was firm with a warning. John sighed. He could cry. Why wouldn’t this annoying flea leave him alone? They were playing yesterday and he tossed a frog on her lap while she sat on a stump eating stew. The soup went all over her lap and she cried. He’d gotten a cuff against the ear and had to apologize to her and her family. The brat stuck her tongue out at him! He looked at my mother who was waiting for him to obey. He was weighing whether or not a punishment would be better. Once she glared at him he took off running.

“If I catch you, you little river rat, I'm throwing you in and watching you drown.” He yelled as he chased her. She yelped with excitement and took off like a bullet enjoying the fact that she won. 

“John Shelby, mind your manners!” His mother called. It was too late. John was far enough he couldn’t hear.

1919

Kimber had slammed a file down on the table in front of the Shelbys. Tommy didn’t even look at it. He wanted the Peaky Blinders to assassinate, eradicate was a more appropriate word, a whole band of Gypsys. The Peaky Blinders weren’t assassins. Gangsters, yes, illegal betting shop owners yes,  but murdering women and children wasn’t going to sit well with the gang. Arthur shifted uncomfortably. 

“Since you're all, you know, the same kind of people I figured they wouldn’t see it coming. You can take them out since you know who they are, yeah?” Mr. Kimbers kept his eyes trained on the leader, Thomas. 

Thomas slid the file to his brothers to peruse through while he addressed the other crime leader. 

“Mr Kimber, the DeGhants are not our kin. Gypsy royalty, but not kin.” He said calmly keeping his tone even. The muscle in his jaw twitched and John caught it.  He looked at the folder that Arthur was going through. Half of the DeGhants were already dead due to a miscommunication with the Golds many years ago. A war had taken many of the DeGhant lives already while they were in France. “We are also not assassins.” He said plainly.

John huffed when he saw a picture of a girl he gratefully hadn’t seen in years. Well, she wasn’t a girl anymore. She was a 22 year old woman and John could tell from the photos that she had gotten her grandmother's looks. Willimena DeGhant had been quite a looker back in her day. She also had been a gypsy witch, spy and assassin for her clan. Not someone to cross. Sabrina was the flaxen haired version. John still wondered if she would follow him around anymore, he was sure he wouldn’t be upset with the idea if she did.  

Kimber had looked down to the photo John was holding. He slid it away from John and tilted it so others could see. John's jaw twitched. He hated meeting with the slime ball but why did the letcher have to choose that one of a girl John knew. 

“Oh yeah, that one's quite a beauty isn’t she. Bit of a bitch though.” Kimber said offhandedly and smiled like a greased eel. “I got into an altercation with her grandmother, that little gypsy witch put a curse on my horse. The next day I got a call to come to the stable. I got out of the car and a perfectly normal and healthy horse dropped dead wild eyes at my feet. Fucking waste.” He sneered. His accountant smirked.  John side eye’s his brother Tommy who was looking at him as well. A quick exchange of no words that held what they were both thinking. “ You don’t fuck with the DeGhants”. The DeGhants were an extremely powerful matriarchal line for gypsy witches. Polly always said to avoid them because the spirits were as clear as normal people when around a DeGhant woman. John knew Tommy wouldn’t want a curse on their horses. He wondered what would happen next. 

“Look, the races are in two days. You bring your barmaid, yes.” He said pointing to Grace unknowing that she’d already been invited by Thomas. “You come, fuck with the DeGhants and take out Wilimeana DeGhant, yeah. Good, see you then.” He stood indicating the meeting was over. Once they left all three men drained their whisky. Now it was on to a much harder part of the day that John always dreaded. A Shelby  family meeting.

________________________________________________________________________

“You don’t mess with the DeGhant women Thomas, you know this! No, I vote against this! Absolutely not!” Polly was shouting and glaring at Tommy who looked indifferent. Her curls were bouncing around her fury filled face. The energy from their aunt was heavy and magnetic. John knew Polly and Thomas would go at it after the official family meeting. He knew those two were in charge and would always butt heads to see whos resolve was stronger. John knew Tommy would win. Lately that was the consistent pattern in the family. Tommy won, had a plan and you

carried out the plan like a good soldier. 

“I didn’t say we’d kill her Polly, I didn’t commit to anything really. We could hide Wilimena somewhere until we take Kimber out. That’s my plan. We make it look like we killed her, deliver her family crest, which is a ring from her middle finger to Kimber. He’ll believe us and she’ll hide out in Arrow house until this business with Kimber is done.” He looked at his brothers hoping they would agree. Arthur and John nodded. 

“They kill us in our sleep Thomas! They’ll send spirits in our dreams and we'll wake up in Hell!” Polly's hand slammed the table causing Ada to yelp. It was hot in here and tension was high and hummed in the air. 

“We already wake up in Hell everyday Pol, at least this would be interesting.” John's sarcastic voice turned all eyes upon him. He looked down and fiddled with his toothpick. He meant it. He also hoped that maybe a certain blonde would come to the arrow house too. He’d be happy to share his bed with her. 

“John's right, if we save the DeGhants they’ll be in our debt.” Tommy stopped and glared at Polly who openly scoffed at him. “They’ll be allies, and you and I both know, that an ancient gypsy bloodline is an advantage to our family Polly.”

“Always an angle with you! What happens if they say no Thomas? What then?! A gypsy curse from a powerful line of witches? This family is cursed enough, yes?” Polly's eyes were dark with anger and flashed at Tommy, who was busy kicking at the table cloth. He’d tuned her out already deep in his own plan. 

 I thought about the young woman in the photo and wondered what her role was in her camp. Did she do readings? Was she a horse breeder? Did she like kids and want her own? 

  I was wondering how soft her skin felt and if she’d be a good mother. She wasn’t a scrawny thing at least not from that photo, she might have good child bearing hips. John imagined his callous fingers digging into those hips as she rode him and moaned his name.

“So we're agreed, yeah, The DeGhants need to be contacted quietly at the races and whisked away before Kimber can see them. They stay with us.” Tommys words pulled John out of his dirty thoughts. He probably shouldn’t think of her that way, most gypsy women were fairly chaste

until their wedding, but on the other hand, she was a DeGhant. 

“God, we're going to pay for this. I just know it!” Polly's voice dissipated as she left the dining table and slammed the door. John waited for his family to clear out before sliding the photo of the blonde out and tucking it in his vest. No one would know it was missing.

Favourite Moriarty the Patriot Relationships! (Platonic and Romantic)

Spoliers Below the cut !!

Mycroft & Sherlock

I do not think there is another Big brother and Little brother relationship I love more then these two. (I mean sure Fuegoleon and Leopold put I mean…) I am dying to know about their past and how they grew up if they were together or separate. When Mycroft first walked through that door and started talking to John I knew he was somewhat related to Sherlock. (I mean, could you not tell?-). Mycroft is that one older sibling who would bring trouble to themselves just to help Sherlock in some way. Sherlock being an idiot doesn't realise it though. Also their nicknames for each other are so cute, Sherly and Mycky.

William x Sherlock

Now. Where do I begin. They are canon and there is nothing you can do to convince me they are not. Sherlock went through all of that trouble just to save Liam. He even jumped off just for him. THEY WERE LITERAL HUGGING WHILE FALLING. I mean if you ask me that is pretty romantic. In the manga Billy literally confirmed it for us when william said 'I want us to live together, share our worries together.' DNHWIQEOHFNLDA Then billy just ruins the moment by saying 'Are you done with your wedding vows?'. Now I am going to shut up.

All of these guys

They are a literal family! Who needs annoying ass noble parents. (Louis is supposed to be there but um- this gif was too pretty not to use) You can tell how upset everyone was finding out William was going to die. Even Louis went against him! Moran didn't want to accept it, he wanted to die with William but he didn't let so he just had to go along with it. Fred and Louis visited Sherlock so he can save him. Albert pinned all the blame on himself. Bond- ummm Well uh yeah-

John & Sherlock

These two are just so funny. John cares about Sherlock, Sherlock cares about John although he is horrible at showing it. The scene after they had saved John from being accused of murder. Sherlock really tried hard to apologise but John knows he is horrible at it. Also when Sherlock got 'arrested' you could see how angry and upset John was since he did it for John and Mary to get married. And their reunion!! John kinda looks like an idiot did crack up but um. still love those two. 'Just as I have a need for you, you have a need for me' says Sherlock

Mycroft X Albert

I honestly don't know how I grew a liking to these two but I guess I just did. They would make a funny duo. Protective older brothers for the win! I do hope to see them interact some more! But out of all honesty Albert is kinda dry but I still love him, they are both very calm and will have a nice healthy relationship (who am I lying to-) They are a chaotic duo in their own way. Mycroft used to really trust Albert before he found out he was the Lord of Crime.
