#PAPA MORIARTY I LOVE YOU

[ziracona]

Finding out the official title for Moriarty’s Shinjuku finale boss battle is “The Proposition (math/logic)” as in a mathematical proposition. A statement that is either true or false, and can be proved.

Because he’s proving after his entire life and work and death and years after, his original proposition, to the world. His life’s work equation. He’s proving the dynamics of an asteroid. It’s his life in a song. In a moment.

But he’s also not. In math it’s a true or false statement, with no middle ground. And it’s up vs Ritsuka’s assertion he’s a good person they were right to have faith in, and isn’t going to betray them and kill them. Either he’s right and the world is going to end, and the devil’s bullet hits you, or he’s wrong and his entire life’s work is going to be thrown away for the well-being a teenager he’s known for a week. It’s his proposition, but he’s also the proposition himself. The song is him and his entire life. I

Closure, aka the real last post about #a scandal in tumblr

Post below the cut

Despite having blocked both of them and determined to stay out of the drama from not long before consultjohnwatson made the split public, I have been lurking on both consult-sherlockholmes and consultjohnwatson. This was just me wanting everything to be okay.

I guess I just wanna piece together the unfortunate piece I was involved in, despite my involvement in the roleplay being very brief. I know I talked about it in my last post about the situation, but now that it’s been quite some time since the split went public, I’d like to share it again.

On February 21st (I think), consultjohnwatson reblogged my well-loved mustache post and gave me advice about my cold that I was having, hence the tag for the posts on this blog, #☕️🍯🔎 . After a few days, I also got in contact with consult-sherlockholmes, awkwardly saying hello and soon becoming mutuals for a short time. I ended up starting a sideblog to keep the reblogs from cluttering up my main, not unlike what ended up happening with the papa-terzo-emeritus roleplay, which I am also no longer a part of. I may discuss that another time.

Now, here’s the part I feel terribly guilty about. 

I am aware that this split was planned, but I feel, if I hadn’t been involved, it would have been a lot less messy. Why?

Because I was the one who told consultjohnwatson that consult-sherlockholmes got in criminalisticonsultant’s car. 

Even though I know now that this split was a long time coming, I still feel sort of guilty about this. The split was messy because of Moriarty’s involvement, and that aspect wouldn’t have come to light if not for my actions. I know he may have seen the posts on his own, so I shouldn’t beating myself up over this, and I wouldn’t even be writing this post if I didn’t feel terrible over the fact that it’s been almost a month since this happened and people are still talking about it.

I guess criminalisticonsultant was right. I don’t know what’s good for me.

I believe most of us were unaware how OOC this thing really was, so I had no idea what was really happening until consultjohnwatson messaged me to take down a post I made after the “replacement” drama went down. I genuinely had no idea about the split until this moment. I had my theories when when consultjohnwatson answered the other Sherlock’s ask, but I didn’t want to believe that. I wanted to believe this was all part of the roleplay. consultjohnwatson told me about the split and that consult-sherlockholmes was aware of this, something that shocked me because only minutes earlier, consult-sherlockholmes had reached out to me for help, in-character I assume, though with her it was hard to tell. Even now I’m not sure. She had told me to not tell consultjohnwatson about our messages, a direction I did not obey. I tried to explain to consult-sherlockholmes that consultjohnwatson wanted to split, she claimed to not know about this and to not trust consultjohnwatson and to stay.

At this point, I was like, “fuck this shit, I’m done”.

I told consult-sherlockholmes that I wasn’t doing this anymore, which was met with more begging which, frankly, felt like blackmail. My final decision was to block both of them (and criminalisticonsultant), delete my sideblog and every post and reblog made on my main prior to the sideblog’s creation and finish it off with one last post.

Clearly, now it’s two last posts.

In those messages, consult-sherlockholmes said this felt like a divorce, and that feeling I see goes both ways. Three years those two did this together, and I got there just in time to watch it all end and have a very unfortunate experience. I felt terrible after all was said and done. I felt sort of sick. I felt very much manipulated. I thought everything was going to work out, and I thought wrong. The worst part? I sort of forgot this was pretend, especially after the now-deleted 16 Personalities post, which if you don’t know, consult-sherlockholmes, who was my mutual by this point, reblogged it. In my post, I ended up comparing myself to Sherlock, and I suppose for a moment I forgot this was a roleplay and I felt like Sherlock Holmes was actually telling me I have potential. This fact only made the reality a lot harder to swallow.

So where do I stand on this now?

consultjohnwatson.

consultjohnwatson has my full support. I believe that the reason for the split is totally valid. Two people should be on the same page when working together, not struggling to see eye to eye. Hell, that ended up translating to the actual roleplay. I do agree with consultjohnwatson that replying to the other Sherlock was a poor decision, and keeping the fact that this was an OOC issue out of conversation for as long as it was was probably not the best.

consult-sherlockholmes is being extremely immature about this. I do understand her frustration with the post where she asked consultjohnwatson and atamh (Mycroft) to stop tagging her despite the split, but the Ides of March post was a little far. Even though she tagged nobody to it (I did see the #john watson), it was absolutely passive-aggressive.

Anyways, that’s all I have to say about this. I try to put this out of my mind, but it sure is hard to. I hope consult-sherlockholmes is able to move on. I hope all of you who have decided to continue with Sherlock roleplays do. Cheers to y’all, and thank you for the tea with honey.

Actually, you know what? I’m bored and it’s clownposting hours, so I’m gonna talk about mephi. ain’t like i post often or anything so I'm gonna go out on several limbs here. no read-mores, we die when we are killed. This got too long, it needs a readmore. slamming post before i stop being happy with any of this.

Mephi’s territory creation and item construction are both alchemy related. We know why (papa Faust), but is this ever... USED? Is this ever used outside of the fgo material books? His bombs absolutely don’t count. (I think he handmakes those personally, and Ticking-kun he had help with. I think pre-servant, making gadgets was a hobby. Irrelevant though.)

~~The matbook comment that he’s a genius. This isn’t new info though. We’ve been knew that one for a while.

~Irrelevant to my point but i thought of it #1: He DOES have a few friends in Chaldea, at least way later on. Moriarty, Rhyme, Enkidu. Running theme? Being artificial in some way, bar Mori, who is merged with a phantom so actually no. he counts kinda. Look, matbook! It’s been partially averted! Sure, Mephi doesn’t have LINES for anyone but his va is EXPENSIVE so you know hwat. ... this entire point is irrelevant to the post i wanted to just say it. WAIT actually on this one too. Abby likes him too, everyone else doesn’t. image just to break up the text block.

~~And I cant skip how happy he was to be running a circus in the casino summer event. In His Element. Good For Him.... I have derailed my derail.

~Irrelevant to my point but I thought of it #2: Sieg also knows what he is. Outside of Mephi’s interlude? I don’t recall him being a homunculi ever being PROPERLY addressed. Maybe the occasional vague comment but never.... Blatantly. actually, this is relevant to my next point hold on. I’m VERY stream of consciousnessing this thought process.

~~There’s a running trend of Mephi just... Doing things, and they’re never formally explained by any of the “I explain things” charries (da Vinci, Sion, Holmes, Romani, etc) or Mephi himself. Getting into Salem (”Visiting hellscapes is a hobby of mine!”). Saying shit he logically shouldn’t know and/or is on tier with shit Phantom says when he manages. (His entire textblock about Salem and gods and whatnot goes here. The whole “hellscapes forsaken by god, no heresy without a deity” thing. Why do you KNOW that?) There’s a separate essay around here somewhere about his innocent monster connecting him directly to the contract demon that, according to the Faust story, has spoken with god, but THIS ISN’T ABOUT THAT. 

~(I do gotta call attention to him claiming to have Faust’s soul in Enkidu’s interlude, though. If that’s true, Implications. Can he write demon contracts? What can he do that we don’t know about?) (Actually, second thought on reviewing, he managed to be in contact with GOETIA. There’s absolutely some demonic clownery happening here.) (last derail here, if he can summon incubi, can he summon merlin????)

~Last derail: If Sieg was able to clock him as a homunculus just on meeting him, who else did? Da Vinci? Goredolf? Paracelsus? London’s Victor Frankenstein? (who absolutely deserved exploding bc Fran Protection Squad. Frankenstein’s Monster Protection Squad. even outside fgo in this house, we love big man, ANYWAY) (also, the christian saints don't chase him down for being, you know, a “demon”, so do they know too??? is he allowed to exist because his character has spoken to the big sky man? uh. derail)

THE POINT I AM TRYING TO LEAD TO #1: Most things about our clown is mostly secrets. In-game bio? Jack shit. His own interlude? Oh, we got information, but we don’t know how HONEST it was. He absolutely lies when he wants to. He loopholes. He knows things. I could derail again with how his hellscape visiting is part of innocent monster and running on demon logic even though he isn’t, but again, not doing that. Mephi is a Secretive Bastard that basically never tells anyone Anything of Value unless it’s Important or if it’d be funny (to him).

POINT I AM LEADING TO #2: There’s no servant in Chaldea that does literally nothing. After getting settled in, they find Jobs. Babysitters, cooks, alchemists, Protag Mental Defense Squad (aka Dantes please take a break), trainers (not pokemon trainers but sure that too actually), Ganesha, doctors, therapists, whatever the hell berserkerlot is doing his best at, you get it. It’s safe to assume what Mephi WANTS to be doing is just being a clown, and he absolutely does that. That’d be a waste of point #1 though.

WHAT IM TRYING TO GET AT IS WHEN NO ONE IS LOOKING HE DOES ALCHEMY WORK, PROBABLY SOLO.

I can’t see him tolerating Paracelsus the “hey friend try my potion” for very long. I’m hesitant to count Jekyll as an alchemist (he feels like he should be doing taxes, and Hyde would be starting a garage band) and they don’t get along anyway. Hell, maybe he helped Da Vinci with making Rider Da Vinci bc I think she counts as a homunculus. We don’t KNOW what Mephi does with his time. We don’t know what he DOES. Or what he can actually do, beyond the vague outline in his bio/materials and my ever-favorite 3x buff block, savior of a lot of situations.

Conclusion: Mephi with a job, what sins will he commit? None we’ll see on screen. Ain’t protag’s business. Correct anything because there’s no way in Hell i remememememembered everything important to make these calls.

Topping off with the closest we are getting to santa mephi. look at him!!! with your eyes!!!

Damianya Equestrian Race Fanfic

I really love this story I made (I hope I'm original with this), but I don't have the energy to actually type it all out in proper prose.

Super long, you have been warned.

One day, at the end of History class which was also the last class of the week, Professor Henderson tells his class of the quinquennial (something that happens once in 5 years) Junior Equestrian Race that is to take place in 4 months. He explains the race, as well as the fact that only two students from all of the First to Sixth Grade will be chosen to be riders in the race after a rigorous selection process.

"Only those who perform elegantly in the training and audition shall proceed to race"

He also explains that only one student will race, and the other will serve as a backup. The one who races and wins the race will receive 2 Stella Stars, while the other will receive 1.

Hearing this, 11-year-old Anya Forger sees this as the spiffing opportunity to promote herself to the Imperial Scholar status and make Plan A a success. She is currently at 6 stars, most of them being acquired from community service and sports rather than academics.

She asks Becky who answers in the negative, saying that she's not that sporty but will definitely cheer the loudest for Anya at the stands.

She mind-reads Damian's thoughts as follows: This is perfect! I'm only 2 stars behind Demetrius and this race will make me an Imperial Scholar. I *will* win this race.

─────────────────── ⋅⋆⋅☆⋅⋆⋅ ───────────────────

Anya goes home and tells her parents about it and says she wants to join as well. The first thought that comes to Loid's mind is: Yes! This is exactly what we need for Operation Strix! 2 Stellas mean that Anya will be a Scholar and will be in the elite group and can get close to Desmond. Yes!

Anya's face visibly lit up at his thoughts.

But no-

Anya's face was like: Wha-

Loid, thinking: Will she be able to take the strain? She needs to keep up with school work simultaneously and she's only started to get the hang of it. She'll also probably need to stay at a separate training centre as opposed to her own home. I don't know if I should say yes. It will be extraordinarily helpful to the mission even if she's the backup. One Stella goes a long way. But I also need to consider her. Is she only wanting to do this so that she can get a Stella and please me? No, that's not right. That's not the relationship I want to form with her. This should come completely from her wish to participate rather than my wish for her to be an Imperial Scholar. I'll try to ease her out of the idea. She matters first.

Anya was utterly and dumbfoundedly touched by her Papa's concern for her but she held her ground. She eventually won the dispute with some help from her Mama who said: "Since she's so fixed on the idea, why not let her do it? It'll be good exercise too." She also shot a glance to her husband which only meant: And if we don't let her do something that she really does want to do, she'll resent us both later.

(Yor goes on to tell Loid afterwards about that one time when she refused to take Yuri to an insect catching competition [he was young so he needed his guardian with him] due to her own fear of insects and about how he held a grudge against her for the next 2 hours)

Loid is thankful for Yor's intervention, thinking, "Thanks Yor, I really owe you one. I can't take the risk of having Anya resent me. That will be unbearable."

"and harmful to the mission" as an afterthought

─────────────────── ⋅⋆⋅☆⋅⋆⋅ ───────────────────

At the training academy itself, Damian saw Anya on the first day when they were doing warm-ups. He began thinking of all the ways he could make her quit the race so that his chances of winning were higher. Because, to be honest, he was intimidated by her. She might be a dunce at studies but her knack for tactile and physical work was downright terrifying. She received one of her Stellas after knitting blankets for a church relief programme. That in itself is ridiculous, but the fact that she knitted so many blankets that even after the bulk of them was sent amply to all the soldiers at the border and orphans and needy, there was still a surplus amount. This made national headlines and Eden had to give her a Star. She also was runner-up in a volleyball tournament and got another Star that way. Anya, being both ally and opponent, was a force to be reckoned with.

Deciding that he has to get rid of Anya, he gets Emile and Ewen (who obviously followed him into the competition) into the tried-and-failed method of taunting her to give up. Long story short, she didn't.

After seeing that she hasn't budged in two weeks, Damian tells Emile and Ewen to cut it out, saying it was pointless anyway.

However, in all the letters and phone calls he received from his brother, he was ridiculed. Demetrius was a master rider and was condescending towards his brother, saying that he might not be able to win anyway and that getting the Stellas through a race won't impress Father. (Headcanon: Demetrius received all his Stellas through academics.) (Another Headcanon: Demetrius is a total jerk sometimes.)

All this began to get to Damian and he even thought of dropping out of the race, so clearly that Anya was to pick it up from a distance (Note: Anya's powers have gotten stronger, yes, but the distance between Damian and her was remarkable)

Horrified, not because Plan B was in danger (she wasn't even thinking about that) but by the sheer fear of seeing a strong and persistent force like Damian's getting shattered, Anya made it her mission amidst all this to make sure that Damian's spirits were up. No way is she gonna let Sy-on Boy give up!

So she went for the tried-and-true method of taunting Damian (lol). This soon became his motivation to remain and get better at racing: so that he can slap that stupid smirk off her face without ever needing to raise his hand at her. His skills will speak for themselves.

Damian came to enjoy racing in general and also, though he won't admit it, Anya's company as a rider and friend at the training academy.

Damian and Anya are chosen to be riders.

Seb fucking Eden on top of Jim’s fat

Fandom: Sherlock Holmes (ACD verse), modern au

Characters: Jim Moriarty, Sebastian Moran, Eden Moran

Content: incest, dubcon, dead dove do not eat

“Show Papa how desperate you are for him, Eden,” Jim hummed, rippling his gut the sensation shaking his fat pad and crushing his cock hidden completely by adipose.

“Oh- I- yeah. I’m- fuck, Papa I want you. Want you so bad,” Eden mumbled clumsily. Their cheeks were burning red, they lifted the skirt of their dress to show their cock - on the long and thick side - bulging in their pink and grey boyshorts. Eden slipped their fingers under the sides and pulled them down past their knees and off their feet. Their cock was released and visible through their dress. They sat back down between Jim’s breasts and spread their legs.

“See what a nice cock they have, Seb? I think they wanna be back inside your cunt.”

“Fuck dad, that’s so gross,” Eden mumbled, but they pulled their dress up to their hips and began pawing at their cock. “If you don’t want it Papa-” They began feeling and looking a little dejected.

“Oh he wants it,” Jim snorted. “Can practically smell his cunt from here.”

“Alright fuck off, Jimmy,” Sebastian snapped. He turned to Eden, his gaze softened. “You sure about this, cub?” He asked them, he reached out and stroked their hair lovingly before rubbing his thumb against their cheeks.

“I’m not a kid, I know what I want,” Eden assured. “I want you and dad. Want you to show me how much you love me. Want to show how much I love you.”

“I- huh.” Sebastian paused, he looked up at Jim to see a proud smirk on his face. He felt a twist of guilt in his gut and chest, so this is what Jim had convinced Eden of, he thought. But… he couldn’t deny that it didn’t seem like they were forced, they were happy. Plus, the animal inside him that made his cock become erect and his cunt wet was becoming more and more difficult to ignore. “Okay, okay, yeah. You can stop me at any time, okay cub?”

“Yeah I know you’re not gonna rape me Papa, relax.” Eden laughed and rolled their eyes but was interrupted by Sebastian’s hand on their thigh. Eden did a sharp intake of breath and their lips grew dry as they felt their Papa’s fingers gently but firmly squeeze their soft thighs and then moved onto their cock. His fingers wrapping around the shaft and rolling his thumb over the head.

“You sure, cub?” Sebastian asked again, Eden held their breath for a moment, Sebastian’s bright green eyes were darker and more intense than he’d seen them. His voice was thick and for the first time Eden felt tiny next to him. They nodded and then let out a gasp as Sebastian pushed them backwards so they were lying on Jim’s fat, their head and hair encased by adipose and sweat. When Eden looked up they saw Jim’s fat neck roll, his head too encased in fat for him to see it. They gasped and moaned deeper than they ever had before, their eyes growing half lidded as they felt their Papa grip their cock and massage it up and down.

“Do I look pretty, Papa? Dad?” Eden asked, they swallowed and their breath quickened.

“Gorgeous, tiger cub,” Jim answered before Eden finished speaking. His voice had taken on the gasping, unsteady tone it did when Eden masturbated on top of Jim’s breasts. They grinned, they loved feeling how much their dad was enjoying seeing them like this.

“Yeah. Beautiful, darling, most beautiful treasure I’ve ever seen,” Sebastian hummed. Eden was about to respond when Sebastian took their cock in his mouth, he sucked on the head and took the whole length in one easy movement.

“Your Papa’s very, very good at that,” Jim groaned as Eden began moaning loudly and wantonly, Jim loved how they didn’t feel the need to keep quiet, it was well and truly primal. Eden’s eyes were almost shut as Sebastian began groping Eden’s balls. They didn’t notice that Sebastian’s eyes were fixated on Jim’s, a mixture of lust, love, anger, and guilt all swimming in them as he stared up at Jim, almost imagining it was his cock he was sucking in order to absolve himself completely.

moriarty was able to shoot through the fake rhongomyniad, something that astraea wasn't able to do, and he did it with one bullet.

now, archer moriarty that we summon in chaldea is still fused with the phantom spirit of max the freeshooter like the archer of shinjuku - which is why he's even able to have a gun in the first place

the condition of max's final bullet is that it goes towards the one he loves. to go back, moriarty shattered open the sacred lance that guda was inside. it was the last bullet he fired in the singularity before his spirit origin fell apart 

his love for guda is ingrained in his spirit origin that without memories, the freeshooter myth is able to shatter a hole in rhongomyniad with the intention of the bullet was used to help guda instead of kill them.

papa moriarty i love you

Hello Steph!! Hope you're doing well because you DESERVE IT!!! ❤️ I was wondering, do you know some fics with sherlock and John endgame or established but that focus on the friendship between John and Greg? Or even sherlock and Greg, I just want some lestrade being their perfect best friend❤️

Hey Nonny!

Ah, good question! I would definitely have a look at my Papa Lestrade Fic List for some, though those are more fics where Lestrade is like a parental figure.

These fics have some good friendship in them:

LESTRADE FRIENDSHIP

Lestrade / The Yard Finds Out Pt 2

Papa Lestrade Fics

A Sofa with a View by nondeducible (G, 1,855 w., 1 Ch. || Domestic Fluff, Schmoop, Secret Relationship) – Lestrade loves football, John and Sherlock love each other.

In Which Lestrade Looks in on Sherlock and Observes by Aztecwarfareandcrumping (K+, 1,833 w., 1 Ch. || Lestrade POV, Friendship, Hurt Comfort, John Whump) – John's in hospital, which means Sherlock is, too. Lestrade takes it upon himself to look in on them.

The Video Footage by bitchinblackframedglasses (K, 1,894 w., 1 Ch. || Humour, Friendship, Fluff, ASiB Missing Scene) – What exactly DID Lestrade film Sherlock doing in A Scandal in Belgravia? Sherlock wants to know, and John tells him.

Sharing Sherlock by grannysknitting (K+, 2,236 w., 1 Ch. || Friendship, Angst, Jealous John) – John shares Sherlock with a new friend. Mycroft, Mrs Hudson and DI Lestrade disapprove. 

Surety by hudders (G, 2,477 w., 1 Ch. || Jealous Sherlock, Drunk John, Drunk Lestrade, Drinking, Alcohol) – Sherlock is pissed because it seems that four pints of larger, two shots of tequila and a glass of wine has resulted in Lestrade becoming a little bit too friendly with everyone. And by everyone, Sherlock really means John.

The Art Of Communication by StillWaters1 (T, 2,679 w., 1 Ch. || Friendship, Hurt/Comfort) – Lestrade was used to getting odd, non sequitur texts from Sherlock. But when "John went out for milk" was followed by a terse "two hours ago," Lestrade immediately understood three things: John was missing, Sherlock was quietly panicking, and this could all end very, very badly.

It Was All Right There In Front of Him (A Five Times Plus One Story) by bees_stories (T, 3,191 w., 1 Ch. || 5+1, Protective Idiots, Grooming, Bed Sharing, Lestrade POV) – DI Greg Lestrade is a good detective. But sometimes he doesn’t trust the evidence in front of him, until there’s a compelling reason to do so.

Listening By Ear by StillWaters1 (T, 3,384 w., 1 Ch. || Lestrade POV, Friendship, Hurt/Comfort, John Whump) –  Lestrade figured that anyone who thought John Watson wasn't important, and that Sherlock hadn't changed since meeting him, had to be completely, bloody deaf. Because it was all right there, in every sound Sherlock made. For anyone attentive enough to listen.

This is my friend, John Watson by aaronisgay (T, 3,691 w., 5 Ch. || Established Relationship, Secret Relationship, Yard Finds Out) – Lestrade has known Sherlock for over three years, yet in that time barely learned anything about the man. Then one day, Sherlock walks onto the crime scene with a short army doctor in tow. As time goes on, Lestrade wonders why neither of them ever go on dates...could this mean something? Otherwise where Sherlock is married and the Yard doesn't even notice.

How Will I Know? by eragon19 (E, 4,895 w., 1 Ch. || Pining, Love Confessions, POV Sherlock, Fluff, Sherlock’s Imagination, Papa Lestrade, Masturbation) – Here was the problem: Sherlock Holmes was completely and irrevocably in love with John Watson, and he had absolutely no idea how to tell him.

Victim, Bait, Hero, Friend by KimberlyTheOwl (T, 7,887 w., 1 Ch. || Post-TGG Epilogue, Angst, Friendship, Hurt/Comfort, Introspection, Past Kidnapping / Torture / Implied Rape, Panic Attacks, Worried / Possessive Sherlock, Lestrade is a Good Friend) – Some insights into why John was perfectly willing to throw everything away for a chance to kill Moriarty at the pool. Trauma, ugliness, and finally healing. Some nice supporting work by Lestrade as well.

Out of the Woods by SilentAuror (E, 20,471 w., 1 Ch. || Post S4, Romance, Slow Burn, Flirting, Drunk Sex, Practical Jokes, POV Sherlock, Bottomlock, Possessive John, Pining Sherlock, Frustrated Wanking, Frottage, Hand Jobs, Blow Jobs, First Kiss/Time, Virgin Sherlock, Love Confessions, Soft Sherlock, Dancing, Bum Appreciation, Hanging out with the Yard) – Sherlock is fairly certain that John has taken to flirting with him of late, but can't be entirely certain of it. At least, not until a case takes them into a forest, along with Lestrade's team and something happens that will change everything about their lives...

Among the Secret Things by Kate_Lear (E, 26,073 w., 14 Ch. || Angst, Drama, Amnesia) – Sherlock would be the last person to describe himself as given to flights of fancy, but at the look on Lestrade’s face he could swear that something inside him curls up and dies. Part 1 of Among the Secret Things

"finally kiss the bloody idiot" by Salambo06 (E, 29,812 w., 13 Ch. || Mutual Pining, Fake Relationship, First Kiss / Time, Angst, Misunderstandings, Fantasies, POV John) – Inspired by a fic idea on tumblr : "John and Sherlock know the Yard has a pool going for when they’re finally going to get together. It’s been running forever, and it’s worth thousands of pounds. It’s all fun and games, hahaha, until they find out Lestrade is in dire financial straits (dog needs emergency surgery, he’s putting his kid through gymnastics training, I don’t know, something), and they decide to fake a relationship to win the pool for him. Sherlock figures out the day and way that Lestrade thinks it’s going to happen, and they act it out. It’s all for a good cause, fake relationship style, until it’s not." Part 1 of The Pool

Jack In The Box by Liketheriver (T, 30,785 w., 1 Ch. || Romance, Case Fic, H/C, Lestrade First POV) – John's been kidnapped, Mycroft has rules, and Lestrade has to do his best to keep up with Sherlock as they deal with a returning foe. Lestrade POV as he and Sherlock work to find John, even though that's the last thing John seems to want. Part 2 of Bedtime Universe

Corpus Hominis by mycapeisplaid (E, 47,709 w., 12 Ch. || PODFIC AVAILABLE || Case Fic, Fluff, Romance, Frottage, Angst, Anal, Blow Jobs, Rimming, Spas / Massages, Shampoo, Jealousy, Fake Relationship) - John knows the human body intimately. He’s had plenty of opportunity for study as a doctor, soldier, and lover. There’s one particular body, however, he knows very little about. When Sherlock launches himself head-first into a new obsession and they get sent on a case in an unlikely location, the pair discovers each other’s bodies with confusing yet delightful (and sometimes hilarious) results. 

Anchor Point by trickybonmot (E, 49,856 w., 80 Ch. || Truman Show AU || Psychological Drama, Suspense, Slow Burn, Dark Characters / Fic, Alternating First/Third Person, Protective John, Anxious/Worried Sherlock, Tender Moments, Love Confessions, Hand/Blow Jobs, Cuddling, Jealous John, First Kiss/Time) – The world tunes in nightly for Sherlock, the ultimate in reality TV: Sherlock Holmes, a real person with a legendary name, unknowingly lives out his life in a staged setting contrived by his brother. Things get complicated when a retired army doctor joins the show to play the part of Sherlock's closest friend. This fic borrows its concept from the 1998 film, the Truman Show. However, you don't need to have any knowledge of the movie to enjoy this story.

Hell Sent, Heaven Bound by ConsultingHound (M, 64,381 w, 16 Ch. || Angels / Demons AU ||  Fallen Angel Sherlock / Angel Cop John, Alternate First Meeting, Slow Burn, Case Fic, John & Lestrade are Friends Before Sherlock, BAMF John, Mind Palace John, Friends to Lovers, John in Denial, Sherlock Picks Out John’s Clothing, Clubbing / Dancing, Mildly Jealous John, Awkwardness, Kidnapping, Sherlock’s Mind Palace, Sacrifice, Worried / Anxious Sherlock, Angst with Happy Ending, Immortal to Mortal) – Ex-War healer and current angelic guard John Watson is not having the best day. He overslept, he’s underpaid, and now there’s someone tagging the Council’s building walls. However things may be about to get interesting: there’s an unusual stranger hanging around (the definition of tall, dark, and handsome), a literal underground cult is brewing, and rumblings are coming from hell. Can he keep his neighbourhood safe, how and why is he being connected to all this, and who the hell is Sherlock Holmes?

Performance In a Leading Role by Mad_Lori (E, 156,714 w., 21 Ch. || PODFIC AVAILABLE || Hollywood / Actor AU, Secret Relationship, Falling in Love, Slow Burn, Romance, Coming Out, Fluff and Angst, Pining) – Sherlock Holmes is an Oscar winner in the midst of a career slump. John Watson is an Everyman actor trapped in the rom-com ghetto. When they are cast as a gay couple in a new independent drama, will they surprise each other? Will their on-screen romance make its way into the real world? Part 1 of Performance in a Leading Role

I love crime papa so much. All event I’ve been like

@ Amakusa so far because I don’t trust that bitch as far as I could throw him. And Moriarty just: *has been on screen for 12 seconds so far* “Bitch you’re running a con and I see it.”

It’s just so good you know like

[the-fandom-is-now-my-life]

Look, I already lost the place as the first shummatsu no valkire fanfic/headcanon/x reader. I just wanted to be the first one on something, please just ignore this

"Teacher my family is hosting a Christmas party, I was asked to invite you"

Stopping writing in the black board williams turned to face his student

" I am afraid I may not be able to attend. My wife wished to spend Christmas in our house, she wants the whole family together for once"

The silence filled the classroom

" Teacher Moriarty is married?!" Yelled a student of the back row

"Is it truly so hard to believe? Do I look so unapproachable?" Joked williams

"No! But we can't believe you are married so young" commented the front row student " how did you both meet?"

" If I didn't know any better I would say you are trying to escape classes by asking about my personal life"

"I bet it was romantic! Maybe in the birthday of a common friend and from there the love bug grew in them" a student stated

" Maybe in a masquerade? The mysteriousness of the event plus the sexiness of not knowing who you are talking to. I can assure you they met at masquerade, the atmosphere is perfect." Another student argued

In no time the classroom was a battlefield about how their teacher met his wife. It had developed in so little time williams was truly surprised by their interest

Hitting his book in the desk he stated " well, may we continue with the lesson"

"But teacher! Just one and then we can continue"

"Yes teacher, just one and we don't bother anymore!"

Giving up he gave in"Good grief, I guess one of how we met won't hurt anyone. But after that we have to continue with class"

"Yes teacher!"

"Well, after the death of our parents, my siblings and I went to live with a distant relative of us, who also happened to have visitors who had a daughter, YN was her name. I was sitting in the garden thinking and then…"

Seated on one of the garden benches william decided to plan the next step on his scheme, but he was surprised by a pair of arms wrapping around his neck

"So you are the one who burnt down his family. courageous" the face of a child not older than 12 appear in-between the leaves and branches

Even taken aback williams didn't stutter when lying " what are you talking about? It was a sad accident that left me and my brothers without parents. It's nothing to joke around with"

Giggling the young kid poked his left eyebrow " this one rises when you lie, how cute. My name is YN YS, you might be one the moriarty children, aren't you?"

"Could you please stop poking my eyebrow?"

"You are so cute, how old are you?"

"14"

"Don't lie to me, you are far too cute to be that old, but your eyebrow didn't raise, could it be your real age?

"What would I gain from lying about my age"

The child let out an agreement sound before sitting by his side "maybe because of…" but she was interrupted by a deep masculine voice

"YN, where are you baby?"

She turned around and yelled" I'm going papa!" Facing williams again and continuing " well, father is calling for me, let's meet at dinner. I want to know if your brothers are as cute as you" she hopped off of the bench and decided to clean a bit her dress and leave " don't try anything funny, I will be checking the candles" hugging him goodbye and kissing his cheek the little kid set off, leaving williams surprised.

you knew the truth, but what were your reasons for believing that? Maybe if he could talk to you he could make you think it was an accident, but on the other hand if he insists too much it would be incriminating. Putting his hands in his pocket he found a piece of paper written on, when have you put a message on him. The letter said :

if you burn down uncle's house at least you take responsibility and take me with you until I marry

followed by an angry drawing. You were truly interesting or so thought williams . He will have to investigate you and your background deeply. What an interesting girl.

Even after changing a few details of your first meeting the story, like you knowing he started the fire, seemed plausible "... And that was how we met. Now we must continue with the subject." Standing up and opening his book he continued. " We will now see this two formulas, and you will have to tell m-"

"But professor williams! We want to know more, don't we?" A sound of agreement filled the room

" Didn't we make a deal? Now open your textbook on the pag-" and he was interrupted again

" Not even a detail about your first kiss? Or your wedding?"

" What's the reason that you are all so interested in my private life"

"My sister wanted to marry you" "I thought professor moriarty was a loner wolf" " I wanted to know if your love story was like in fairy tales" and other reasons could be heard in the classroom.

Taking deep breath he decided to ignore the reasons and keep on teaching " open your textbook at 67" he didn't say anything at the sight of the sad students who were whining about love stories and fairytales " if you do well in tomorrow exam I might tell you about our first kiss" the atmosphere suddenly lifted. Now the students would give their hundred percent.

[considerablecolors]

So anyways episode one of series 5 opens with Sherlock sitting in his slightly burned chair, staring. "Come on now," He says. "Don't be difficult. I'm a genius, don't you know? You won't win against me. Give in now and save yourself the trouble."

Camera pans to John's daughter (Rosie or some shit I don't remember) sitting at a table, green beans in front of her.

Sherlock does that one exaggerated smile people like to gif. "Come on, Rosie dear. Just eat them up."

She pouts. "But Papa I don't want to."

"Well dear, we all have things we don't want to do, now don't we? But if you eat these up for me I'll let you help me with this case."

She thinks. "Is it at least a 7?"

"Oh, it's a 9 for sure." Her eyes light up.

"But we don't tell Dad, now do we?"

She grins. "Nope!"

John enters as kisses Sherlock on the cheek. "Hello love. Everything go alright? Didn't have any trouble with behavior?"

"No, John, she was an angel like always."

"I was taking to Rosie, actually."

She giggles. The title card plays.

Cut to Mycroft playing chess with Phil Lester, sitting on Dan Howell's lap.

Irene Adler walks in, in the middle of a grotesque and arousing orgy with every single Doctor from Doctor Who.

Mycroft calls Sherlock and explains he's needed for once last case. Castiel, an elite government official, has been sent to hell and must be retrieved. But Sherlock isn't smart enough to solve this on his own. He must work with Moriarty.

"Absolutely not," Sherlock says.

"Come on, brother mine. How bad could it possibly be?"

Moriarty appears. He has become The Onceler, accompanied by Sebastian LastName who is dressed as The Lorax.

Moriarty now looks revolting because I ain't never seen two pretty best friends-

DID I MENTION SUPERWHOLOCK?

Both introduction and the first chapter are ready to find right here: https://archiveofourown.org/works/26233390/chapters/63849742#workskin

Here is an excerpt....

Irene and Sherlock downed their water in a few, long gulps. “Thank you,” said Irene, smiling at Mrs. Hudson. “So, what do you do here? You probably aren’t American.”

“Dear, it’s always the accent that gives me away,” she winked at them. Then, turning to the road again, she said, “I take care of the Shack, plumbing, gardening, cleaning, that sort of stuff.”

“What? Isn’t that usually a man’s job?” Irene quirked an eyebrow. 

“Usually, yes, but I am very versatile, I assure you. Besides, those are only a few of my skills, and it keeps me busy. Of course, sometimes my hips put up an act and I have to rest, but that’s nothing simple medication won’t solve. Plus, there’s always John to help. Greg’s great-great-great nephew thrice removed, or so I’ve heard. He spends the summers here, he’ll arrive tomorrow.”

Irene gave Sherlock an approving passing look and he nodded back. They both actually liked Mrs. Hudson. 

“What are your other skills?” Sherlock asked suddenly, ignoring the mention of another occupant of the house he will have to share the premises with. A part of him squelched when he remembered that embarrassing conversation with Mummy regarding Lestrade’s nephew, however. God knew how Sherlock loathed the inevitable interaction already. Making ‘friends’ wasn’t really his forte.

Mrs. Hudson kept watching the road as they turned right from the Main Street. 

“Oh, the usual,” she replied matter-of-factly. “Hunting, shooting, baking, canoeing, climbing, cooking, skinning animals efficiently, and knitting. Just the normal domestic work.”

Sherlock felt his lips curling into a genuine smile. Maybe this stay won’t be that dull after all. Irene seemed a little horrified, but she didn’t say anything to either doubt or disregard Mrs. Hudson.

‘Something’s fucky’ observations, HLV version

[Reminder: if you like me, but not my tjlc-related posts, you can block tag ‘johnlockendgame’ to avoid them]

This was originally posted in response to another post, but I decided to post it separately for posterity.

- Sherlock’s suspicions about Mary and Mycroft - My current reading of HLV-TAB, based on M-Theory, is that both Mycroft and Mary are double agents and are aware of each other’s actions. They have an unspoken agreement to not expose each other’s status as such. Mary, who noticed that Magnussen began harming Mycroft’s colleagues, realized that if Sherlock ever exposes Mycroft he will discover the truth about her too and/or that Mycroft is sending Sherlock towards CAM so he finds the truth about her. Either way, she doesn’t trust Mycroft and goes rogue (planning to shoot CAM but ends up shooting Sherlock), determined to defend herself, Mycroft be damned.

- Sherlock getting John’s attention in HLV (waiting in the dosshouse next to Isaac Whitney) - we see in TLD that Sherlock knows where to find John two weeks in advance. If this is an EMP situation TLD happens in his head, but I suggest that this happens in TLD because Sherlock had done it HLV. I wouldn’t find it far fetched that Sherlock, expecting John to look for some excitement, knew Isaac Whitney is a neighbour and plants himself right next to him in a dosshouse - he knew John would be there.

- Others have pointed out before that CAM is the personification of an Appointment in Samarra when he visits Sherlock he visits him at Baker Street instead of meeting up in his office. That would make CAM the grim reaper who came to collect Sherlock’s soul, but I argue that Mary is the grim reaper.

- It’s interesting that Sherlock uses Molly, Anderson and Mycroft to survive the shooting, but not John. These are people he’s supposed to be ambivelant about - why not figure out how to survive using John, whom he fully trusts?

- Sherlock actually saw John, Mary and Janine at the hospital - he may not have spoken much, but he did hear and see them. Mary wears the butterfly scarf when she threatens him at the hospital, and I believe this is why she wears the scarf in the tarmac scene (the butterflies become omnious when you notice her wearing  the black butterflies dress in T6T). It’s after Janine leaves the room that things get REALLY fucky - she may have played with his medicine, as LSiT suggested.

- I think certain situations after Mary’s shot, like the conversation with CAM in the restaurant, are happening when Sherlock is still in control of his MP; he’s running a controlled scenario at Appledore and on Christmas (the wall clock at his parents’ kitchen seems to be keeping perfect time considering), Mary’s pregnancy duration makes sense if she’s around 7-8is months pregnant on New Year’s (Sherlock would know when the baby is due). He doesn’t ‘lose his mind’  (like John wonders at his parents’ house), or if you will, a grasp on reality, until the plane takes off.

- Papa Holmes doesn’t seem to lose his glasses anymore, even when unconcious. Nice touch ;)

- AGRA is Sherlock’s invention, it’s an idea Sherlock creates and explores later in T6T when he can’t find answers in the Appledore and TAB scenarios. 

- Appledore is the Garden of Eden, the place that houses the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Appledore means ‘Apple tree’, Sherlock describes what’s inside it as ‘forbidden knowledge’ earlier in the episode, it’s white and heavenly and angelic, there are some bird of paradise looking plants there, and Sherlock is determined to go there in order to learn about good and evil and ‘make a deal with the devil’, CAM - the snake/satan. Sherlock falls from from grace after learning about the truth of Appledore and CAM’s vaults.

I was surprised by the religious imagery here - Sherlock isn’t religious, but going further in these posts I’ll point out signs of religious imagery filtering through to Sherlock.

There’s some weird ass technology at Appledore, like a disappearing TV screen CAM vanishes with a hand gesture (seriously, there’s nothing there. Give it a rewatch, gif is mine).

By the way, who’s POV is it in this video CAM is showing them? Mary’s? It’s not Sherlock’s - we can see Sherlock’s back.

Update: I’ve received comments about that screen, claiming it’s a holographic screen, but look at this gif - John watches it (the screen is there), turns around (the screen disappears), asks ‘you put me in a fire for leverage?’, CAM speaks and moves towards the screen that is no longer there and supposedly removes it again.

There are two interesting items on CAM’s table: one lonely, tempting Apple (well, it is the Garden of Eden) and Sherlock’s mirror thingy. Yes, the same one that will be heavily featured on T6T.

- CAM mentions Mary’s wet jobs for the CIA - this isn’t the last time Sherlock explicitly considers Mary has an American connection/is an American. Think about Mary with American accent after running away in T6T .

- I wonder if Sherlock telling John that the mission to Eastern Europe is six months long, as Mycroft estimates (and Mycroft is never wrong), is bleeding from ‘real life’ in which Mycroft and John discuss Sherlock’s survival chances/expectancy. If it is, perhaps that’s why the airplane takes off - Sherlock decides to go up to a higher level and explore his situation (he takes drugs, supposedly, but perhaps he actually moves from Mind Palace to Dream Manor).

- I wonder if Sherlock comes up with Rosie in his mind and symbolized it with Mary wearing a Rose brooch.

- What if ‘Miss Me’ doesn’t actually mean what we think it does, in the context of  “notice or feel the loss or absence of ”, but is actually supposed to be the opposite - did you miss me, did you fail to notice me, to connect the dots about me.

Think about who asks that question throughout S3 and S4 (arguably, all in Sherlock’s Mind Palace) - Moriarty, Mary (in her posthumous video messages) and even Mycroft in TAB (’so, did you?’).“Missing” is a contranym, after all, one word with two opposite meanings.

- “Who needs me now?” “England”, is Sherlock in his scenario exploration assuming Mycroft (=“England”) is behind bringing Sherlock back. This is being called back in TAB when Mycroft summons Mary, who tells Mrs. Hudson “England” needs her.

- The East Wind is Coming - 1) If the East Wind is indeed the end of the official ACD canon, in which Sherlock’s saying to Watson that the world is about to change, I sort of admire Moftiss for using this as the bookend, a tell, to tell us that this is where thing will stop making sense in ACD terms. From that point on, they break out of canon and arguably the story into their own ‘canon’ - the final problem of Sherlock becoming ‘human’ (I’m grossly oversimplifying it). We’re propelled immediately from the airport to Theatre of Absurd we’ll see in S4, because Sherlock is breaking the rules of the story (by shooting CAM, instead of Mary shooting CAM like in canon) - the East Wind is coming, and now we’re heading slowly into post-canon. 2) I love that I’m getting the sense that Sherlock’s brain makes John low-key threaten Mary by saying the East Wind is coming in an ominous tone. Translation: ‘Hey, wife, Sherlock is about to realize just how super gay he is for me and I for him so wrap up warm’.

Thoughts? I’m sure I’m not the first one to find some of these things, let me know if you deserve credits. Screengrabs are from here and CAM’s gifs at Appledore are mine.
