Consulting Librarian
In the depths of some alternate universe, Holmes is a reference librarian. His science of deduction would be refocused on the science of classification, identification, and information.
He would have devoured the texts A Classification and Subject Index for Cataloguing and Arranging the Books and Pamphlets of a Library, Decimal Classification and Relativ Index for arranging, cataloging, and indexing public and private libraries and for pamflets, clippings, notes, scrap books, index rerums, etc., eagerly awaiting news from the United States and corresponding with colleagues abroad as the development and research of such a system took place.
He may have started at the library of the British Museum, but his consulting status would have been achieved in the form of his interest in bringing information science to the public rather than to private patrons, specific social classes, and other such restrictions on library institutions of that era.
His intricate knowledge of recorded crimes, periodicals, newspapers, and other such information would make him a valuable resource to certain Inspectors, should they think to inquire at the city library.
There is more but I stand on the precarious edge of descending into library history hell with all the development around them in the 19th century

“I think,” comes Holmes’ gentle intonation, “there are certain crimes which the law cannot touch, and which therefore, to some extent, justify private revenge. I have made up my mind.”
He stands from his chair, crossing to @guttersniper . He considers the boy for a long moment before crouching down and laying a hand on his shoulder, offering a soft, tender smile.
“My sympathies are with the criminal rather than with the victim, and I will not handle this case.”
His free hand comes up to thumb away a smidge of dirt on his cheek.
“Come. A bath, a hot meal, and a night by the fire, I think.”

//ooc// Hi, this is a side blog created for the express purpose of me pretending to be Holmes and Watson sharing a Tumblr account. This is Immortal Holmes and Watson theory so for the uneducated: due to various inconsistencies in the text some of us have concluded that, for Some Unknown Reason That May Or May Not Have Had To Do With Watson's Works, Holmes and Watson don't age right and are still living today. I may make a post delving deeper into it at some point on my main blog, @immortal-in-their-way but for now that's enough. //End ooc//

Five Fics Friday: May 17/24
Happy May Long Weekend, everyone!! It's the unofficial start to Canadian Summer, so let's start it off right with some fantastic reads to enjoy out at the cottage! Be sure to give the boosted fic some extra love too!!!
Love y'all!
SIGNAL BOOSTING
Wolfhound by KtwoNtwo (M, 20,783 w., 9 Ch. || ACD Canon || Canon-Typical Violence, Werewolves, Period-Typical Homophobia) – The Baskerville family curse has allegedly taken a victim and Sherlock Holmes has taken the case. Unfortunately the case itself threatens to expose Dr. Watson's most closely held secrets. Secrets that he has somehow managed to conceal so far from Holmes. A retelling of the Hound of the Baskervilles in a universe where Lycanthropy is not only known but is also a death sentence.
RECENT MFLs
Other Outlets by PlantsAreNeat (T, 1,052 w., 1 Ch. || Molly/John, Sexual Tension, Relief, Unrequited Love) – Molly and John have something in common, and one late night, they figure it out.
The Quiet Man by suitesamba (M, 7,890 w., 3 Ch. || S3 Fix It, Past John/Mary, Angst, Hurt/Comfort, Blind Sherlock) – John Watson has been separated from Sherlock Holmes for most of nineteen years when Mycroft Holmes whisks him away to see his brother and convince him to come home.
Beyond the Bay by urfavv_strawwberrywinter4 (E, 25,697 w., 5 Ch. || American AU || Case Fic, Possessive / Obsessive Sherlock, BAMF Johnlock, Top Sherlock, Bottom John, American John, Hand Jobs, Anal, Dirty Talk, John's Jumpers, Protective Johnlock, Jealous Sherlock, Love Confessions, Kissing, Hurt/Comfort, Fluff and Angst, Happy Ending) – Recently retired police officer, John Watson, stumbles upon an odd man named Sherlock Holmes when traveling by train on his way home. He concludes the detective is insane after having only one conversation with him, but can't help but be intrigued. Ignoring John's hesitance, Sherlock brings him along on an exciting case. Through this adventure, Sherlock doesn't bother to hide his palpable obsession with John while John tries to hide his growing feelings. What will happen when they both break, following their desires?
The Five Steps of Nesting by emptycel (M, 34,965 w., 10 Ch. || Omegaverse || TBB-Adjacent, Mpreg, Protective John, Romance, Case Fic, Fluff, OOC Sherlock, Omega Sherlock) – Sherlock and John get some surprising/happy/deeply stressful news and decide that Sherlock will have to take a break from crime solving once his 'delicate condition renders him useless.' They decide to: sneak in a high profile case before then... which gets a bit more complicated than they planned, to just 'take a look' at this smuggling ring business (What could go wrong?), all while trying to get through the five steps of nesting, which play with Sherlock's instincts and turn him into a madman of snuggling and cleaning. John is understandably tired. Part 2 of First Steps

I think the death thing was about Moriarty. There is an excellent video essay I will try and find about how Sherlock trivialised death.
They never fully explained how Sherlock survived.
They teased Moriarty being alive even as far as the s4 closing credits.
They killed Mary and then had her be present in the other two episodes both as a ghost and through video messages.
A bunch of people believed Mary wasn't really dead despite the fact we saw her die and it wasn't just people who were unsatisfied with her ending or the circumstances of her death, they just thought they wouldn't commit to killing her off.
They hinted in TAB that Moriarty's body was never recovered and then the writers said they believed Doyle was always going to bring back Holmes because his body was never recovered.
People are still debating which TAB scenes in the modern day were real and if any were.
The Final Problem broke the show's own rules.
Mycroft is willing to swordfight a clown and shoot him with a gun hidden in his umbrella not even questioning why there is a goddamn clown in his house. Also that image of grinning Fisherman Mycroft.
Mycroft sees a grenade that he knows is motion-activated and only warns the others once they have already moved. And that is coming from me, the number one person defending the way Mycroft was written in TFP from people saying he was OOC.
Sherlock and John hurl themselves out of a second story window and "boop and they're fine".
Mycroft somehow got himself and Mrs Hudson out of the house in a couple seconds, after having to get up a flight of stairs and they are both uninjured. They even lampshade this by having Sir Edwin lie about Mycroft being in critical condition.
The skull somehow survives the explosion despite the fact that bones disintegrate when burned.
Eurus put a dog bowl with the name Redbeard in the room when she had no idea that Sherlock remembered Victor as a dog.
There are bleeding paintings.
John's feet are chained to the well but he gets out using a rope.
Eurus shoots John clearly using a real gun but they changed it to a tranquilizer when there was no reason for her to shoot him in the first place other than for a cliffhanger.
And then there is the fact the show closes by saying who Sherlock and John really are doesn't matter after having an entire good-to-great-man arc for Sherlock.
Etc etc.
The Final Problem was so unbelievable people thought it was made as a joke. It didn't help that it was leaked a day early via a Russian website, that the writers advertised the leak instead of trying to take it down when people's entire blogs were taken down for leaking a promo image too early or messaging HLV spoilers. People were laughing about how bad TFP was when they believed it was a troll episode.
One can like TFP. One can believe it was a good finale and a great episode. Moffat and Gatiss explained they meant the episode to be full of transgressions. And it's their show. They can do what they like. But as a storyteller, you have a responsibility to your audience.
You can't start off as a detective story with some British humor thrown in and end up with Saw Shutter Island The Ring Silence of The Lambs Hanging Garridebs Secret Sister.
You can and they obviously have, but Eurus was a retcon. They only thought of her in S3. The Holmes parents were also only S3. Originally they were going to have the Holmes family torn apart because Sherlock deduced his father was having an affair.
Redbeard was originally a dog and the Holmes brothers' phone call was about how their parents told Sherlock the dog went to live on a farm and Mycroft teased him for that.
Hell, there is a video out there of Steven Moffat claiming if you focus on Sherlock's backstop you are doing something wrong.
For some context, I got one of my first expressions from the Sherlock Is Garbage video by HBomb. (Not the first one ever, I watched Elementary first with no knowledge of ACD, then I saw an out-of-context clip for that Moriarty/Sherlock scene). So I went into this show expecting to like it, but think it's not that clever. And I was impressed.
There were some hints and subtext I noticed that no one else did. There is one scene I read completely differently than anyone else.
I love this show. It made me. It saved me. I was not the same person from back before I watched it.
It helped me accept a very dark part of myself that I spent years suppressing and realizing my increasing anxiety was not going to be better until I learned to love all of me. Only then could I truly be free.
And I got sidetracked again, sorry. This is all my opinion.
i have like. a lot to say about why sherlock failed as t.v. show bc i think as a writer it’s a really crucial study in how to ruin a good premise/beginning and tbh if not to just … study how not to handle characters it’s pretty fascinating bc there are some truths which i feel it’s necessary to point out:
nobody likes to feel cheated at the end of the story.
death only matters if it’s forever and it’s rare.
on that note, there should be consequences for actions.
trust your characters to be interesting without unnecessary drama.
throwing plot at your characters feels less real than having their desires make them walk fully into the glass door of plot
if you’re going to make one of your characters “a sociopath” or disabled with ptsd or any other mental or physical illness, do extensive research into the personal experiences of those who suffer it and handle it with gravitas; don’t just vanish a character’s disability because it’s inconvenient to have them use a cane etc.
when there’s a good plot twist with nice foreshadowing, the audience loves it. when there’s just always plot twists, the author loves plot twists more than his own story.
surprise isn’t always a good thing.
“it was all a dream/joke/mirage/spell” is literally the weakest form of writing yourself out of a corner and is incredibly annoying to read/watch
queerbaiting is ugly
ride rollercoasters, not a broken elevator. have some stretches between plunges. your story can speed ahead and stay interesting without diving into hell again.
having a Big Bad Evil doesn’t make the story interesting; in fact having “monster of the week” problems feels more authentic and enjoyable
write your women like people and let them have plots that have nothing to do with men.
just because you’re good doesn’t mean that you are above critique or getting better. you should always be challenging yourself to outdo your previous self, not resting on the laurels of a previously effective moment
characters don’t have to be overpowered to be interesting
if a character’s emotions all exist on a scale of 1-10, 10 being the most emotion that an emotion can be (the saddest/angriest/broodiest), do not let that character hit a 10 until you are ready to be done with them forever
when you are done with them forever, be done

[reply to @--acd: ] thanks for actually replying! i didn't know if you would, i know not everyone likes 2 talk about it. my friends and fam are great and my partner is wonderful, but i think if i were to ask help it would really throw things out of order for everyone else, which probs sounds so bigheaded but i'm just worried... ( and fyi i think you and your partner are epic just btw, not to make things weird but you are)
[ ooc: they would be such cute friends1]
reply to @-Nick.Nel
You sound like the person that everyone goes to when they need help. That's great! The world needs more friends like you. But what happens when the helper needs help? You're allowed to need help, and you're totally allowed to ask for help. Your family, friends, and partner just want to make sure you're ok.
comment to reply to @-Nick.Nel
It's not weird. I think @-princehenryuk is pretty epic too. You'll just have to ask him what he thinks of me...😉

I followed you because you followed me and I have not yet left! I love reading your thoughts out of character and I love reading all your musings and literally everything. The amount of love you put into Alex is everything.
tell me why you followed me // nonnie // always accepting
I apologize for my chaotic, messy ooc thoughts. They do be a little crazy sometimes 🤣 but I mean they also apply to Alex in some way so they work for good musings too lmao.
omg ! Nonnie!! I followed you ???? Awwww come off anon and let’s plot something out if you want. Listen I’m slow and tired but I’m here. Unless I do know you and we do plot so like let’s do more yeah? Yeah.
Also thank you very much for your kind words. I’m most likely going to cry now because ACD means the world to me and the fact that you told me that last sentence? Rip to my soul, I am gone. Thank you.

🎀🎈💞
thanks lily!! <3
🎀give yourself a compliment about your own writing
i think i am very good at writing in character dialogue and at imitating canon stylistic flairs when writing in a first person canon (e.g. rivers of london, acd holmes)
🎈describe your style as a writer; is it fixed? does it change?
already answered this one but just to append: my style of writing as a primary school teacher doing an example for children is like reading an ai generated narnia book /hj
💞what's the most important part of a story for you? the plot, the characters, the worldbuilding, the technical stuff (grammar etc), the figurative language
it is absolutely and always dialogue! when reading fic ooc dialogue is my worst enemy (besides formatting but that doesnt count for this lmao) and i spend a lot of time thinking about affectations and how characters would talk to themselves vs others, external vs internal expression, and so on. but im doing it in a cool and sexy way obviously

And let’s not forget that there’s a ton of procedural rules nowadays that you absolutely need to follow if you want to convict someone of a crime but that weren’t in place back when ACD wrote the original stories (or whose importance was only just being discovered at the time). Not contaminating a crime scene was one of those, and it wasn’t even about DNA or fibre or hair evidence back then, but just about macroscopic objects, and fingerprints at best. Chain of custody was another such rule that was only just emerging. Reading suspects their rights and allowing them legal representation, and not admitting evidence like a confession at trial if it was made before they were read their rights and got to consult a defence lawyer, was yet another. Very, very few of the crimes that the original Sherlock Holmes solved would result in a criminal conviction nowadays because Holmes and Watson (and the police officers who let them) would have been breaking procedural rules left and right. But it didn’t matter back then because the rules didn’t exist or weren’t taken very seriously yet.
But of course that means in any modern Holmes adaption, you need to address that issue. Modern Holmes can only play fast and loose with the rules of procedure if it’s either A) an emergency (like, rescue a hostage even if it means trampling all over a crime scene) or B) if he deliberately decides not to care about getting a conviction as long as he technically solves the case, which would be OOC… or C) if you ask your audience to suspend disbelief to an extraordinary degree. I feel that Sherlock & Co. are walking that tightrope pretty well so far tbh.
Sherlock being upset at someone calling him instead of the police when finding new evidence just because of the reason of attention is CRAZYYYYY 😭
Bro said if you're at least going to contaminate the crime scene and call me first it has to be for reasons other than attention seeking please thanks.

My Dear Holmes,
You are insane. You are a madman and I am fully aware that you are not quite right in the head. After all, what sane man would light a lamp with poison powder in it, fully aware that it could kill him? What sane man would live in a stone hut just to solve a mystery? What sane man would refuse to shake the hand of a king? What sane man would send his only companion away when he was smart enough to understand that he would need all the help he could get in the moment? What sane man would rob an influential gentleman just because he wanted to help a distressed person in need? What sane man would pretend to be engaged to a girl just for information? What sane man would waste a sizable amount of money to buy a failing medical practice from his friend by proxy? What sane man would— never mind. You are not sane, are you? Never have been. And for that I am glad. If the sane men are either criminals or cowards or fools, I am glad you are not sane. Because sane men do not bring about change and revolution. Insane ones do. Because sane men turn the other way when they see people in need. They ignore and pretend and lie so that it does not offend their delicate sensibilities. You are not sane. I am thankful for that. I do not know what I might do if you one day decide suddenly that you want to be one. You are brilliant and insane and I would not damn you to normalcy. Besides, my dearest friend, I think we make a good match. After all, I have never been particularly sane either, have I?
Yours,
John Watson.
