#acd Holmes fanfiction

[fictionfromthevoid]

Being in a QPR with ACD!Sherlock Holmes would include

Headcanons for the original book Sherlock Holmes and reader being in a QPR (so the setting is the 19th century)

You are a teacher at a girls' boarding school when one day another teacher is murdered and Sherlock is hired to solve the case

You try to help as best you can and he quickly realises how smart you are

(Watson also thinks you are attractive but you shut him down very quickly, expressing that you have no interest in romance of any kind)

this earns you respect from Sherlock

Since his knowledge of the world is sometimes rather specific (he doesn’t know the earth moves around the sun?!), whenever a case requires knowledge he and Watson don't have he sends you a letter to consult you

You basically become pen pals

As a woman in the 19th century you are very limited but also very dedicated to give your girls a good education

so whenever you need to do a science experiment, want to test out a theory or need lab equipment and your school won’t help you you write to Sherlock

So in your free time, you can often be found working on some experiment at 221B Baker Street

Sometimes you also assist Sherlock with his experiments when you are free and Watson is annoyed

Accompanying them on cases every now and then

You are smart but also good with people which makes questioning suspects a lot easier

Soon you are a regular guest in 221B

Mrs Hutson loves you

Comforting Sherlock when he couldn’t solve a case, or someone he should protect dies

This is also when you first hug

Watson sent you a letter that they had a bad case, Sherlock couldn’t solve it and the client died. Since then he has been inconsolable. He plays sad music on his violin all the time and takes drugs and Watson is getting scared for him.

When you arrive he is standing at the window playing the violin

You march over to him, take the violin out of his hand and pull him into a hug

He is ABSOLUTELY SHOCKED. Completely freezes, every muscle tensing up

You don’t care and keep hugging him, so he slowly settles into the hug

He buries his face into your shoulder and lets out a heavy sigh

You stand like this for a long time

When you finally let go you make tea and talk about the case

Since then hugs have become a regular thing for the two of you

much to the surprise of Dr. Watson

The doctor doesn’t understand your relationship at the beginning

he keeps nagging Sherlock and sometimes even you about a potential romantic relationship, and asks all the time if and when you are gonna marry

After you and Sherlock have explained to him a thousand times that you don’t have romantic feelings of any kind towards each other and that your relationship is not like that he finally accepts it

even tho you are not sure he fully understands he sees that your relationship is rather like his friendship with Sherlock

When Dr. Watson marries, Sherlock asks you to move in after a while

This is seen as quite scandalous -an unmarried man and woman living together- and nearly costs you your job but you manage

Now that Watson is occupied more often you are a more frequent companion on cases

You also have more time to work on scientific projects together since living together

sometimes when one of you is feeling especially down long hugs turn into cuddling

You sit on the sofa together and just hold each other in your arms

You always make sure that Sherlock takes care of himself

You bring him food when he is absorbed into a case and refuses to eat. When he refuses to take even a small bite you will go on a rant on how his body and mind will break down if he continues to starve himself

This usually has no effect so you just start shoving food in his face until he eats it

Reading Horror and murder mysteries together and laughing about the stupid murderers

When you both retire you move to Sussex together

He tends to his bees and you take up gardening

You've met my favourite ACD Holmes fan artist, now meet a writer of wonderfully poignant ACD Holmes vignettes, @upstairsfromreality (find them on AO3).

My favourite of their ACD Holmes fics, however, is more than a vignette: "Fraternal Correspondence"

It’s an expansion on the famous pocket watch deduction in "The Sign of Four" it's a heartbreaking piece of backstory/missing moment for Dr John Watson, and I highly recommend it.

I also loved "What the Violets Mean". That’s another oof I didn’t know I needed.

Writing johnlock fanfic on my calculator, now I just have to see how to access ao3 from it

[tremendously-crazy]

So many sherlock holmes fanfic writers put sherlock in the most traumatic situations. Like ok, here's a fic where he's been brutally attacked by criminals. Here's a fic where he's deathly ill. Here's a fic where he's plagued by the nightmares of his past. I think it's just a universal thing that people like to see the main character suffer.

[herbirdglitter]

That trope?

The one where there are two characters who always call each other by their last names or a title, but one of them accidentally slips and calls them by their first name?

Yes I need that one injected into my veins

Holmes loves flowers. Watson loves Holmes. Mrs Hudson loves to meddle.

Well, he's technically reading Sherlock Holmes commercial fanfiction, not stories by ACD, but I‘ll take every minute of it!

You have to listen to this !

If you love Benedict Cumberbatch voice, you will love this ! He’s reading a ACD Sherlock Holmes adventure ! Go ahead and listen to it …

And it’s not just one story, it’s four stories that’s he reads !!

[fogdraws]

Yes I'm doing fanart of my own fic what can I do😞

Got a version in colour too? Idk which one I prefer tho

[mouse-of-mischief]

That feeling when I see the sun rising outside my window and I realise that I've once again spent the entire night reading Johnlock fanfiction and/or the original Sherlock Holmes stories once again.

[secretlyafiveheadeddragon]

favorite thing about Sherlock Holmes is that when you write fanfiction for other things average people think it’s weird and cringe but when you say you’re “playing around with the Holmes characters” it’s cool and suave and people thing you’re talented, when in reality it like “what if they were messy lesbians? Yes, yes, this is good”

[angryducktimemachine]

Reading The Adventure of the Devil's Foot was certainly. An experience.

The pointy ears are a stylistic choice I just like drawing pointy ears.

[ID: a digital, fully colored drawing of Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson. They're sitting outside in the grass, both without a jacket, Holmes is wearing a black waistcoat and trousers with a scarf while Watson wears a brown waistcoat and trousers. They're sitting close to each other with their foreheads almost touching. Holmes eyes are closed with furrowed brow while Watson looks at him worried and holding him by the shoulders. /End ID]

Holmes and I were exposed, though I imagined we presented a fairly convincing portrait of a couple in flagrante . Holmes moved suddenly, his hands cupping my face, and he looked deep into my eyes for the barest moment before he kissed me.

Holmes and Watson’s voyage back to England takes an unsettling turn when their ship becomes trapped in polar ice. After a strange encounter with a phantom vessel, passengers begin dying under mysterious circumstances. As Watson falls ill, Holmes must work quickly to uncover the truth before their icy surroundings become impossible to escape.

It is with some reluctance that I take up my pen to recount the events aboard the Icarus. Yet, as Sherlock Holmes so often reminds me, "The truth, Watson, must be told, even when it cuts to the quick." And so, I shall endeavor to lay bare the details of that harrowing voyage with the fidelity they deserve.

Our passage aboard the Icarus, a merchant steamer bound from Boston to Southampton, came on the heels of a curious case in America—a case Holmes, with his usual austerity, had dismissed as trifling.

"It involved nothing more than a cantankerous clockmaker, a purloined family trinket, and a mongoose of rare cunning," I once protested, half in jest.

"A mongoose, my dear Watson, is a diversion. A clockmaker, an inconvenience. The true mystery lay in the labyrinth of the human mind—and it was no labyrinth at all, but a simple alley. Hardly material for your pen."

As much as I might have argued the point, I could not dispute him. Compared to what awaited us aboard the Icarus—a voyage marked by ominous portents, chilling violence, and the unforgiving grip of Arctic ice—that American affair was but a faint shadow, easily forgotten.

This, however, was a case to test Holmes's singular intellect and my own endurance alike. It was a tale steeped in dread, where the line between superstition and reason blurred like fog upon the sea. A tale, indeed, to chill the marrow in every sense of the word.

The train around us was thundering loudly, and the compartments were buzzing with the impatience of many a traveller, longing to be reunited with family for the holiday season. But just looking outside and taking in the new view was a much-needed balm on my delicate nerves.

Holmes was humming happily beside me, a merry tune that sounded vaguely festive. His gaze darted over to me occasionally, his lips twitching up into one of his delightful little smiles. I had no way of showing him the sheer depth of my appreciation here, not surrounded by so many onlookers. But I hoped that his extraordinary mind would understand nonetheless when I tried to answer every one of his looks with a smile of my own.

--- Christmas is fast approaching but Doctor John Watson is not feeling the holiday spirit this year. Maybe a case out in the snowy countryside can draw him out of his melancholy. At the very least he always has the support of his beloved Holmes to safely see him even through these dreary times!

My first ever attempt at Victorian Johnlock, mostly inspired by the Granada TV series because I adore it. It was written as part of the @yuletidejohnlockexchange as a gift for @lisbeth-kk. I hope you like my version of these silly old men and their little adventure.

Modern adaptation of Sherlock Holmes but it's the original ACD Holmes and Watson just. Picked up from 1895 or whatever and. Thrown into 2024. Sherlock Holmes in the 21st century.

“Watson, will you keep this?” I extended my hand and offered the cigarette case.
