[i-dont-talk-for-days-on-end]

Listened to the Coules radio adaption of Reigate Squires and was a bit disappointed that they left out the strangling because I was sure Watson would be SO protective. But I was compensated by the way Watson very quietly says "Take care ... my friend" in the end, more to himself than to Holmes. <3

A friend of mine sent me this meme

And I do beg you to tag the creator if you know them. Seeing it, I OF COURSE thought of post hiatus Holmes and Watson.

And did this thing.

Best Sherlock Vibe

Now I didn't get the same amount of engagement in my last post as I did my first, but I did get interesting results with Psych winning and Elementary a close second. It's almost like once you remove the ship, people remember the other characters?

Now I was going to ask who the best modern Sherlock was. Then I decided on something else.

Let's do this!

[fictionfromthevoid]

Stop trying to find me a wife! -

Aroace! ACD Sherlock Holmes oneshot

Summary: Holmes angrily makes it clear to Watson that he is Aroace and that Watson should stop trying to find a partner for him. (The word aroace isn't used since it didn't exist back then)

Based on the Prompt:

"So you're just going to trample over their feelings like this?" Doctor Watson asked his friend Sherlock Holmes angrily.

"Their feelings? Why is it always other people's feelings? What about my feelings instead?" the detective answered, visibly exasperated.

This took the doctor aback. He wasn't used to such emotional outbursts from his friend. Did Sherlock Holmes of all people just talk about his feelings? He stayed silent since he suspected his friend of having more to say. He was right.

"I am sick and tired of people pushing romance onto me when I have voiced countless times that I have no interest in such matters" Holmes ranted. "Especially you should know by now. Still, you keep nagging me every chance you get. I've tolerated your countless matchmaking attempts. I've told you over and over, very politely if I may point out, to refrain from any further attempts to find a romantic partner for me but you never listened."

Watson felt ashamed and guilty at the words of his best friend. It was true that he had fun teasing the detective about the women swooning over him and that has gone out of his way once or twice to arrange a date for his friend. He was looking for a wife, so to him, it was the most natural thing that Holmes should also marry one day. Watson had assumed that Holmes had just been too consumed by his work to waste a thought about romance and that the detective just didn't know what was good for him so the doctor had taken matters into his own hands.

Just now, they had come back from a dinner the doctor had arranged with a very nice lady. After seeing through the plan Holmes had turned the woman down, rather rudely for the doctor's taste, and promptly left the restaurant. The Woman was rather hurt and so now back at Baker Street Watson thought it to be his duty to scold his friend for his unacceptable behaviour.

"Yes, I was rude to Miss Bell. Yes, I may have hurt her feelings but she will get over it." Holmes interrupted the thoughts of his best friend. "But I am done with being polite. I am done with being polite to women who will practically throw themselves onto me, not even caring when I tell them I am not interested."

It was true that his fame, earned through Dr Watson's stories, had brought the detective quite a large number of admirers of any gender who sometimes were ... very persistent with their affection.

"And you Watson, instead of having my back, you encourage them. You tell them I just need to be convinced to go out with them. You tell them to keep trying and not lose hope. And when I adopt a harsher tone to turn down the people you gave false hope, or that you even brought to me in the first place, you get mad at me for hurting their feelings." Holmes was getting more and more frustrated

"What about my feelings? Don't you realise that you hurt MY feelings when you ignore my wishes in such a severe manner? I have trusted you when I told you that I have no interest in romance or the intercourse that often comes with it whatsoever. Information that is quite personal and rather frowned upon in our society. And you disregarded this completely and keep trying to push these things onto me nonetheless"

He let himself fall into his armchair defeated. His head in his hands, so that his face was covered, waiting for an answer from the doctor. Although he didn't expect his friend to understand this time.

Dr Watson was still processing what he had just heard. In retrospect, he had been a bad friend in this matter. He now realised that. To him, it was unimaginable that someone could not be interested in romance. But Sherlock Holmes wasn't, he understood that now.

He went over to his friend and put a comforting hand on Holmes's shoulder.

"I am truly sorry, my dear friend, for I have been a very bad friend to you. I should have listened to you. I should have believed you when you told me how you felt about these things. But it was just something so obscure and unimaginable to me that I couldn't accept it to be true. I now feel ashamed of my behaviour. I apologize and I hope you can forgive me. I promise to never try to find you a wife again."

The detective looked up at him with tired eyes

"I also promise to take it seriously in the future when you communicate your feelings on any matter to me. I sometimes forget that you have such things as feelings since you are usually rather private with these." The lips of Holmes curled into a barely visible smile. Still, his eyes looked as tired and defeated as before.

"I am very grateful that you now told me with such severity how you felt about this, although I should have picked up on this before. My dear Holmes, I am very sorry and I hope you can forgive me."

Dr Watson ended his apology speech. Holmes stood up from his armchair and embraced his best friend in a hearty hug.

Since then the life of Mister Sherlock Holmes was free of any kind of unwanted romantic attention. His best friend fiercely shielded him from annoying admirers and kept true to his promise to never nag him about romance again.

For those receiving letters from Dr. Watson, allow me to recommend this ambience music for when you have the time in your busy day to read his interesting experiences.

Heyyyy here are some fruits!

🍒🥭🍈

If that's okay with you 😁

This is more than okay for me, thank you 💘

🍒 What’s your favorite character dynamic to write? (Can be romantic or platonic, specific or general!) That won't be a surprise, but I love writing Nozel x Vanessa. They have really a cool dynamic and I've read many fanfics already that works so well with them (yours for example). I also like writing Solid x Rosette, for the arranged marriage to lovers trope and it is interesting to write not such a romantic couple. Sometimes, I feel like they have a dynamic like in detective stories, the smart one and the dumb but active one, vaguely like Sherlock and Watson or Poirot and Hastings. With the huge difference that Rosette is so much kinder to Solid than Sherlock and Poirot are mostly towards Watson and Hastings.

🥭 Rank from most enjoyable/fun to write to least: Fluff, Smut, Angst, Crack. Very personal opinion, but 1. Fluff, 2. & 3. Crack and Smut (depending on my mood it changes, so I put both at 2 and 3 😅), 4. Angst.

🍈 Who’s your blorbo and what are some of your favorite headcanons/ideas about them that repeatedly show up in your fics? Free pass to rant about blorbo opinions. I love the Silvas, especially Nozel and Noelle. One of my favorite headcanon is that each of them secretly gave the other gifts on their birthdays and it never stops even when Noelle joins the Black Bulls. In fact, her squad always wonder who sent her anonymous gifts. Another thing I like to point is that Nozel has a soft scent of lavender, be it from a soap or a shampoo. Mostly because I love lavender. Last but not least, Nebra is the fashion expert out of the siblings and always despairs about the fashion decisions of her brothers and little sister. It comes to funny scene, but also touching ones, because Nebra helps Noelle on that topic after they mend their bond.

Okay so, let's start a tiny war.

A difficult task part 1

No warnings. Not proofread. I just typed it as the scenes kept playing in my head. I'm not a writer. Sorry. If someone likes it and wants to take off from there or rewrite it, let me know and tag me! I would read it.

It's a normal cloudy cold day in London, John is typing on his laptop their last case, Sherlock is experimenting in the kitchen when Mycroft knocks on the door. Sherlock rolls his eyes knowing it's his brother. He has been sending him messages all week which he keeps ignoring. John opens the door, Mycroft is wearing his usual gray suit, red tie, and he is holding a a blue suitcase. -are you going on a trip? Wait...are we going on a trip?- asks John in confusion. Sherlock arches his brows when hears John, walking into the living room he sees Mycroft standing there exasperated. -he is not going on a trip...is this about a case?- he asks intrigued approaching him. -I wouldn't call it a case. I have a  task for you dear brother- Mycroft puts the suitcase down sighing. -A task? What is that supposed to mean, you know I only take relevant cases- Sherlock can't stop staring at the blue suitcase wondering what could be inside as he observes it. -well, brother of mine, I believe you will be amused ...- John stares at them still confused -it has to do with Miss Adler .. Sherlock snaps back at Mycroft -The woman? What happened?- he tried to hide it, but he really cares for her, he likes her. -She left something for you... Pardon me, someone- he smiles incredulously. Sherlock's eyebrows knit together in concern. - William . Your son... Apparently he is yours... He is four years old. -No, no, no- Sherlock steps back shaking his head in disbelief. John's mouth drops in surprise, he sits down -is he? Really? Are you sure?- -No Doctor Watson, I believed in her words and decided to bring the kid to you immediately- he says with a smile in a sarcastic tone - Of course I made a DNA test. -my hair... Last time you were here you pulled on my hair saying i had white hairs, you lied to me! You stole it to make the DNA test- his expression is a mix of anger and annoyance.

I can't post it complete. here's the other half.

I got this tattoo on my 18th birthday. It's not just a dedication to the worlds best and only consulting detective (and also his favorite love interest Dr Watson) but also a reminder that I am never alone. The Sherlock Holmes books and the whole Fandom helped me to get through a very though and bad period of my life and I'm so grateful for it. I still love this Fandom unbelievably much and the stories (Canon as well as adaptions ) still give me this cozy and warm feeling of coming home.

And one thing always rings true :

There is no grave for Sherlock Holmes.

𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘗𝘢𝘪𝘳 𝘰𝘧 𝘛𝘸𝘪𝘯𝘴 — 𝘈𝘚𝘏𝘞𝘐𝘕𝘐𝘚

Johnlock is an Ashwini-Ashwini ship. Dr John Watson, played by Ashwini Moon Martin Freeman, is the known fictional physician companion to Sherlock Holmes, played by Ashwini Moon Benedict Cumberbatch, who is a sociophathic investigator. The deities that rule this nakshatra are physicians and Ketu nakshatras are known to be cast as mystery-solving investigators. Sherlock's high intelligence is in connection to Ashwini, the nakshatra known for speed and an active mind.

Clara Oswald is to the Twelfth Doctor is what James Watson is to Sherlock Holmes, I just realized. The Twelfth Doctor and Sherlock Holmes portray a similar archetype of Ashwini; both prone to isolation, their intellect and sense of superiority being at the expense of their human emotions, the two being driven by their genius and recklessness. As stated before, Ashwini nakshatra is related to an active intelligence. And it is interesting that the companions they form a deep love and respect for are also Ashwini natives themselves.

Clara Oswald and James Watson embody another side to this Ketu nakshatra which balances and challenges the antisocial genius archetype. As both their partners are abrasive and cold, they counter that by bringing emotional insights and grounding foundation to the dynamic while still being able to keep up with their speedy wit (specifically Clara with Twelve).

For Sherlock Holmes and James Watson, they function like complementary twins— being opposites that fit together. They become inseparable because they offer what the other lacks. These two literally have a deep, unhealthy attachment to one another. But it's not as worse as Clara and Twelve.

Because Clara Oswald and Twelve's relationship evolves to them literally becoming mirrors of each other. As Ketu sucks things in, we see how much Clara takes on his personality through her evolution. She adopts his personality, as he does hers. Their connection becoming so deep that it shapes their identities, until their relationship actually becomes their identity. Which speaks to how receptive Ashwini can be, also speaking to the 1H themes and Libra being the 7th house from Aries.

Clara actually starts to be an equal in the series when she's by his side, the pair functioning like inseparable twins, anticipating each other's thoughts and actions. Their co-dependence and affection for each other so intense that it is addictive as it is destructive to those around them. Their separation ultimately leading him to obsessive, destructive, desperate behaviours — as he feels like he lost a big part of his identity as well. Exactly how Sherlock Holmes would react had he lost Dr James Watson.

In addition to this, but more different, there are two Beauty-&-the-Beast tropes of this Ashwini-Ashwini dynamic. One is Spike and Buffy who have a relationship in which one character embodies the humanity and goodness the other craves and has a choice to learn from, although their toxic duo is marked by conflict and co-dependence.

The Ketu nakshatras being associated with Beauty in this trope, as well as the Beast (after the Jupiter naks of course), highlights the theme of their relationship. His character is marked by darkness and a longing for acceptance, while she seeks to understand the complexities of those around her. He represents the Beast, as she is initially repulsed by his vampirism, before she sees beyond his monstrous exterior to see the vulnerability within.

In the kdrama Sweet Home, Sang-wook is a contract killer who is out of touch with his humanity and it is when he meets a nurse caretaker, Yu-Ri, that he finds himself caring that deeply for someone in such a short amount of time, her presence making him reflect on his actions and identity.

Casey and Kevin in Glass embody this trope the most, as she is the only person who consistently shows empathy towards Kevin’s true self, becoming an anchor for him and reminding him of his humanity amidst his inner turmoil.

This complex dynamic is interesting as it nods, twice, to Casey's Ketu influence. She embodied the final girl nakshatra lord when the Beast devoured its victims and she survived, then she became Beauty to the Beast albeit more twisted in "Glass".

This trope extends to other Ketu-Ketu pairs which I have touched on before.

There is a sense that each character helps the other define or remember who they are in all of these Ashwini pairings as this nakshatra is prone to losing touch of oneself (such as Sherlock or the Twelfth Doctor straying from their humanity and isolating) or not even knowing one's place in the world (much like Spike and even Kevin). The presence of the other Ashwini shapes the behaviour, thoughts, and actions of the other, making their bond almost integral to their sense of self. Touching on those 1H themes, this is what the entire Aries section is learning, but this is Ashwini's important journey.

The Ashwini-Ashwini pair is much like twins who grow up shaping each other’s identities, where the presence of one is key to understanding oneself. And the inseparability of Clara and Twelfth is so twin-like, that of course their companionship to me is literally parallel to this nakshatra's deites; the twin brothers, Ashwini Kumaras, who have adventures and many achievements together (just like Clara and Twelve traveling and going on many adventures). I have noted months ago, maybe even a year from now, that the Ashwini-Ashwini pair can be a nod to that. It may signify having or seeking your soul's other half (neither romantic nor platonic), being how twins are usually described.
