#and the way Moran is happy he helped too

[liliumofthevalleyy]

I was reading through The Remains spin-off, again. And it isn't something unnoticable but it had me squealing and kicking my feet and stuff nevertheless.

It's just the time William spent with Sherlock, and their first meeting, were, in fact, not the only times William could just have fun and forget about his burdensome plans.

And that, makes me so damn happy.

Bonus:

The bartender crying as William sweetly hands him compensation money while chaos ensues in the background:

Hello my wonderful fandom family :) Thanks for being so patient with me. I know I have till January but I am moving/slash road tripping at the end of Sept to a new state. Which is a HUGE change. Going two time zones ahead and everything. So wanting to get it out there before I move and have even less time LOL Also thank you for wanting to take this journey with me. S6 was hard on all of us.

Haven't had a show rock me this hard in a very long time. So I'm forever grateful for the love and comments these in depth reviews get. Never want to take that for granted. This was a ROUGH season to say the least. But I’m excited to dissect it with decompressed eyes and somewhat healed shipper heart. Be lying if I was saying it was fully healed. But was a much needed break for me. Let us begin shall we?

6x01 Strike Back.

Premiere starts off with a literal bang. They’re all trying to figure what is actually happening. The mastermind clearly not the man they just took down in Luke Moran. Also loving how scruffy Tim is in this first shot of the premiere. The stubble all over that gorgeous jawline of his. Mmm. Delicious dusting. Love to break me off a piece. Wouldn't be a review if Feral Caitlin didn't make an appearance would it? ha God he's beautiful I can't help myself. This is his fault really.

Anyway back to matter at hand.... Lucy points out Luke may have been a patsy for the real crime. Diverting all their resources to this this one spot instead of their real target. Our girl always being the brains and Tim being impressed by it. They go hand in hand. You know that man loves her brain. Her intelligence is just one of many reason's he fell in love with her. Fun to watch her flex it I have to say.

There’s so much to love about these shots in the shop with them. The Metro call sign being one of them. It does things to me. It’s just sexy. Also the automatic way she’s paired with him in this moment. Like anyone else would be in that car with him but still. Ever the packaged deal. Just the little things I always love so very much. They don’t share shops anymore. So this is a treat. Riding together, brainstorming, and just being the bad ass team they always are in the field. Makes my shipper heart happy to see it.

After the Federal Reserve mayhem we skip 6 weeks into the future. I always wondered what happened in those six weeks with our ship. Probably nothing massive tbh. But be fun to know what shippy goodness could’ve occurred. I imagine they had some time off after that. Spent it together and decompressed from the madness. Just a nice thought to think about is all. *cough fic writers cough.*

We start off our cuteness with Lucy in Tim’s office studying. There’s so much to love about this scene it’s unreal. Let’s start with Lucy taking residency in his office like it’s hers. Knowing it’s a quiet place for her to retreat to. Also I’m sure Tim offered it up long ago for her. Which makes me giddy to no end. He’s not the least shocked that she’s using it. Only that she’s not out on patrol. Married status continues to level up in this moment.

Lucy explains she’s fallen way behind in her studies. OT is killing her atm. I can’t imagine how stressed she feels. Lucy is our resident academic. Not having the time to nerd out on her studies has to be killing her. It’s why she reaches out to her man for help. To pivot this in a different direction. Something that worked for Tim when he needed studying time. Asking if she could ride with him today? Could quiz her between calls.

Getting flashbacks to 2x02 when she helped him study between calls for his exam. I always love the callbacks they do for them. Continuity is ship crack for me. I eat it up. He accepts and Lucy is beaming. Their smiles in this scene are so adorable. Couldn’t be more in love if they tried tbh. I remember thinking how much I missed our idiots in love so much. I'll be this way for S7 too. I miss them.

Tim looks excited for this challenge. You can see it in his face above. But he is also letting her know how hard it’s going to be if she wants him to do this. That it’s probably not going to solve her problem. But he’s willing to expand her knowledge base on wildcards. This way she can take any curve balls Primm has to throw. Lucy’s smile is everything when she thanks him. Relieved her man is gonna help her her out. I mean of course he would. Nothing he wouldn't do for her and she knows it.

I remember seeing the funniest post for this moment before it aired. How it was her basically asking ‘Babe, please be mean to me.’ LOL Lord knows this woman is well aware he wasn’t gonna take it easy on her. Just like the old days. It's where she learned the most. So it makes sense she would wanna dip her toe back in that pool.

Tim is ready to roll. Starting his ‘boot’ engines back up. Don’t tell me it's not a little bit of a kink for Tim. That man is too damn excited to be able to boss her around again. That being said says she learns best when she’s pissed off. I mean he’s not wrong…No one knows how to teach her better than he does. Lucy counters by saying does she? Or is this is just giving him permission to be an ass?

Tim letting her know if that’s really how she feels she doesn’t actually want his help. Lucy backtracks and is desperate for him to guide her with this. Saying she needs it. Tim is lighting up like a Christmas tree. You know that man LOVES her needing him professionally. It’s been awhile since she has. He’s excited. Lucy has been a self sufficient cop for long time now. Hasn’t needed his guidance for quite some time. So for her to come to him with this he is a happy camper.

Tim is thrilled to put his T.O. hat back on for her. They have such married energy through out this scene. Lucy telling him she doesn’t like his excited smile. Tim deflecting saying it's just his smile haha The absolute wifey look she gives him is hilarious. They just be flirting freely in the hallways. Like they aren’t completely married at this point. Even though he’s driving her insane she follows him out with an 'in love' smile. She loves her ass of a boyfriend haha

They hit the road and Lucy is still questioning her decision. Oh my girl. Saying maybe should’ve chosen Harper or Lopez instead…Tim makes a joke how Angela just got back. Her cop brain is just booting up. Which earns a smile out of Lucy. She loves this man sitting next to her so very much. Written all over her face. Doesn’t take long before Tim triggers a Lucy rant though.

Poor man is just trying to help the woman he loves get through this. Wasn't expecting the time bomb he received. He sets her off by saying no matter who teaches her they all have the same database. That there’s only a 8 percent difference between ranks. This is what ignites the Lucy meltdown above. That Primm is going to use that eight percent to trip her up. His face above when she starts is priceless. Tim is just bracing for impact at this point LMAO Ain't no stopping what's coming his way.

The flood gates have opened and phew lord what a meltdown it is LOL Holy hell. She is the queen of them. I adore how Melissa can shoot off so much dialogue in one breath. It’s impressive af if you ask me. Also makes me cackle so much cause I’ve been her. So many times when I’m under immense stress I do the same. You prattle on until you run out of steam. I can’t believe there isn’t a gif set of this rant so I made one. It’s too good not to have in this review.

It’s the look on Tim’s face that has me ROLLING. It’s been awhile since he’s had an epic Lucy rant thrown at him and it shows. Eric the King of facial expressions is at it again. I’m laughing so damn hard. I remember having to pause cause I was laughing so much at his expression. He most definitely wasn't expecting the rant that he got. If you can look at him above and not laugh you're made of stone. Hang in there Tim lmao Your girl Is worth this intense stress/anxiety vomit she just spewed all over you. It's like he doesn't even know where to begin after she's done. So he just doesn't....

The married energy continues once Lucy has wrapped up her meltdown. Tim being the smart man he is doesn’t say a word. He’s learned a thing or two from this relationship. Lucy though takes his silence as saying everything for him. With her ‘Please don’t.’ Tim trying not to start anything telling her he’s said nothing. He truly wasn’t expecting the explosion he got. Was happy to be a passenger princess today, while he quizzed her through out the day. And instead got an epic freak out right out the gate.

Tim can’t win for losing in this scene. (or this episode really) Lucy telling him she hear him thinking it. I remember there being a Chenford Bingo of some sort before the premiere. And exasperated husband was on there. This delivered that in spades. His reaction after her saying this is gold. Haha This is the woman you’ve chosen to love Timothy. LMAO You know he loves her to death neuroses and all but good lord ha.

Their banter never fails to hit and the marriage vibes on top of this is top tier. I am here for it all damn day. One of those 'When did they get married again?' moments. His look at the end is like he’s chanting to himself . ‘You love this woman…you love this woman...’ Lucy tops it off saying she just won’t sleep till the exam. Leaving Tim to shake his head more and not say a word. Only look out the window as he rolls his eyes. Primo banter and chemistry here. *chef kiss*

They roll up to their first wildcard. I adore the Metro call sign as they do. Tim assigning the crime scene to Lucy as he does. *fans self* I can’t explain why the call sign so sexy. Just is. Also them sharing it on the scene also gets me all in my feels. Tim is telling her that he is there as a resource for her. But she is the one in charge. Asking her what’s her first move?

The Plain Clothes Day vibes are all over this scene and it's fantastic. Another callback I am so happy they touched on. Lucy confidently strides onto the scene and explains her move. Tim tells her to call it in. Love the way she looks at him the entire time she does. Tim asks her what else? This is where Lucy’s confidence starts to wain sadly.

Where that panicked rookie from all those years ago begins to resurface. The way she is talking at Tim trying to figure it out oh my lord. The PCD vibes are so strong. Only this time Tim is helping her out a lot more. Unlike back in S1 he was there to watch her flop around, second guess herself and drown. It’s much different this time around. He truly wants her to succeed and let's her know as much in his responses. Lucy doesn’t see that in this moment though unfortunately.

Tim telling her the obvious boxes are checked but what’s her wildcard? The spiraling is so real for her in this moment. It hurts to watch the anxiety build in Lucy. Tim testing her knowing she can do this but her confidence is eroding in this moment rapidly. He is trying to get her there faster by saying she doesn’t have a minute. Which she really doesn’t when we know how this scene ends…

One of my fav parts of this scene is the line above. The kindness and gentleness Tim has. Because he wasn’t in love with her during PCD like he is now. Here he is trying to be supportive and gently guide her to the answer. Even give her an out for it. S1 Tim never would’ve said there’s no shame in not knowing the answer. Not this directly anyways. Doing his damn best to support her through this. But also help her get to the answer so she learns. Lucy takes it the wrong way though.

Reason being it has nothing to do with the man next to her. That man would die first before not supporting her. Level headed Lucy would know that. Sadly she is not here with us at this crime scene. Who she really is mad at is herself at this point. Because she should know the answer and her brain is stalling out in this moment. Tim told her he wasn’t gonna take it easy on her. But breaks a little with his kind reply. Giving her an out if she wants it. Lucy can’t handle it though...Because she is being far harder on herself for this than Tim could ever be. I can relate so hard to this it's unreal.

I do love the way she says ‘Sergeant Bradford, please.’ Lucy feels like she’s suffocating in her own thoughts. The panicked rush to get this right and hitting a wall. The anger building towards Tim at the same time. The confidence she has built since S3 just melting away the more she stresses. All the while taking it out on Tim. Why you ask? Because in this moment she is projecting that anxiety and stress onto him with her reply. Defense mechanism thy name is Lucy Chen.

Doesn’t take long after that line for the sprinklers to come on….The wildcard revealing itself on its own. We watch as the evidence literally gets washed away and the bullet down the drain….Lucy rushes to chase it and watches as it goes down a storm drain. A reflection for how she feels about her hopes of passing this test…It’s a rough scene to watch unfold for her. The devastation on her face when she realizes that bullet is gone is very rough.

They return to the station and Lucy is as defeated as she can be. Hoping no one knows about it as as she rubs her tattoo. They start to play clown music as she enters. SMH. Tim trying not to laugh. Aaron doesn’t help when he also laughs at her misfortune. Not a good day for our girl….Lucy gets distracted by Wesley being there with the baby.

We get a small sweet departure from her anxiety in this moment. While she has him she wants his legal opinion on her crime scene. He too laughs. These men in her life are the worst right now. Not helping her building anxiety and loss of confidence. Wes telling her she fatally ruined that scene. That she’s gonna need a straight up confession to convict someone. And that’s only if she finds the killer…oof.

We rejoin our beautiful duo staking out the crime scene. Lucy grasping at straws to fix what she so royally screwed up. Her heightened state of spiraling continues on in this scene. Lucy admits she wants to skip the exam. Her face breaks my damn heart. Killing me here Melissa. I do love the way he says her first name in response. Still gets me he can. After years of Officer Chen and ‘boot.’ Just hits differently and makes my shipper soul happy.

Tim tells her she is ready. That man would not tell her she was ready if she wasn’t. Relationship or not that man doesn’t hold back. Wouldn't send her head long into failure. If Lucy was in a better place emotionally she would’ve heard him. Heard the confidence in his tone. Seen the empathy he was exuding for her. This man has changed so much in his time with her.

It sky rocketed when they got together. Tim couldn’t have been more supportive if he tried in this scene. Hell this entire episode. But she is so very stuck in her head. A place Tim could normally shake her loose from. A specialty of his really. He can’t gain an inch of ground in this scenario. Lucy has dug her heels in so to speak that she’s gonna fail. Nothing he says is getting through.

Our girl is experiencing massive amounts of anxiety and self doubt. The panic attack is real. The fact that the one person she would’ve sold her soul for, in order to get his support back in the day, isn’t getting through is a problem. Lucy goes on to say she knows herself. That if she takes this test right now she will fail. Her confidence will die along with it. That it’s better to wait. Tim steps from one minefield to the next with this convo.

When he once again is just trying to be supportive and says ‘Then wait.’ Not only is he being in her corner he gives her something she can do in meantime. Something he hates the idea of. Her going UC while she waits this anxiety/doubt out. If that isn’t him supporting her idk what is. He is also still learning how to be there for her emotionally and she isn't giving him the grace for that. Sadly Lucy isn't in the right mind to see that though. She is just stuck in the mode she's been trapped in all ep.

I get it I really do and empathize with her. I’m the same way when my emotions are in a heightened state. Nothing gets through. I'm frozen in place emotionalIy. I get very doom and gloom as well. Lash out at anyone who isn’t going to be positive and reassuring. Which Tim is doing his best to be. But Lucy is in such a dark state of mind she doesn’t see it. All she sees right now is he doesn’t believe in her and is kicking her while she is down. She needs reassurances right now. To her he isn't delivering that the way she is wanting at this point. Him agreeing with her that she should wait is only making matters worse.

Anxiety is a cruel cruel master. It makes you believe things that aren’t true. Amplifies them to the point that you’re so wound up you’re lashing out at everyone. Even your person. Which is exactly what’s happening with Lucy in this moment. Her accusing him of making it worse with how bad she already feels. When Tim is professing words of encouragement all she hears is him saying she can’t do it.

Tim is desperate for her to know he’s in her corner after this display. Asking her if she heard him? Lucy is distracted by someone showing up to the crime scene. Tim asks her what? Lucy replying that woman was looking at the crime scene while crying. Tim is so sassy in his reply I’m proud of him. ‘Or maybe she just had a frustrating fight with her girlfriend’ heh love this. Calling her his GF always gives me the feels.

Lucy gets a last minute win with this case. Catching this lady trying to get her bracelet back after tossing the gun. Her cop gut serving her well. Sadly Lucy doesn’t see this win as such and it bleeds into this final scene unfortunately. Once again the music is absolute perfection. I’ll post some of my fav lyrics at the end of my analysis of this fight. But first let us witness the incredible chemistry that is Eric and Melissa in this final portion. You know your ship is amazing when even their angst is lightning in a bottle goodness.

This fight I will say when I watched it originally excited me. Because it just showed they’re human. Real. The both of them. They make mistakes and aren’t perfect. How healthy this was for them to get off their chest. Because honestly the UC/detective tension has been building for a long while. This was the boiling point for it IMO. This scene hurt so good to watch. I rewound it a few times before I could process it the first time.

Tim starts off with congratulating her on her 4th quarter win. He’s genuinely so proud of her for bouncing back. Felt like she NEEDED this win. So he makes sure she knows. But like I said earlier Lucy isn’t viewing it that way. Her perception is more than a little skewed atm. Her building anger at Tim has reached it's peak. She is cold to him and brisk as hell. Tim immediately picking up on her clipped ‘Thanks.’ Like she was going to be able to hide her anger and frustration from him. Girl no. Tim asks her what? Lucy shrugging him off once again.

Tim pulls on her arm gently and parrots her own damn words back at her from 5x21. That they’re not gonna work if she’s going to lie to him. Lucy conceding immediately to that. I mean they have a lot to work on communication wise, but they’ve also come really far in this aspect too. Don’t wanna disregard that. Look at Tim confronting this right away and communicating effectively. There are causes for excitement with that growth. That being said they have a ways to go. This fight is proof of that.

Lucy pulls zero punches when she asks if he undermined her today so she wouldn’t make detective? The absolute look of hurt painted across his beautiful face kills me. As you all know I relate with Tim so very much. He is so deeply loyal and loving. That any of his motives are to help those he loves around him. He truly thought he was helping her out today. Being supportive and helpful. So for her to come at him like this is leaving him stunned and extremely hurt.

His person the one person who knows him better than anyone, accusing him of something he would never even fathom doing. I was hurt for him watching this. Last thing he would ever do would be to hinder her intentionally. Loyalty to a fault is having someone else hurt you first before you’d ever do the same. That’s Tim. It’s why he is so defensive the rest of this scene. And rightfully so. I'm proud of him telling her it upset him she would even think that of him. Because IMO he did not undermine her. That man did what was asked of him.

All of Lucy’s pent up anxiety, anger, and frustration comes out full force at Tim in this scene. And my boy didn't deserve it. I was on his side the first time I watched it and I am now. I didn’t see that changing though lol. Do I understand what Lucy is going through? Yes. Good god yes. I've been her. I feel so much for what she's going though. I want to make that very clear. But Tim didn't deserve this barrage against him. Wanna also note i’m so proud of the writers for tackling mental health from the jump with this season. Both our babies got issues and this was the precursor to the season really. We just had no idea at the time....

Lucy assumed all day he was undermining her. Instead of just confronting that fact she sat in it. Stewed in it really. ALL. DAMN. DAY. Which isn’t like her. She is the type to face it right away and voice that to Tim. But didn’t this time. Giving us a little taste of their communication problems early on this season. There’s that saying. 'When you assume you make an ass out of you and me.’ And by the end of this convo Lucy is feeling like an ass. I guarantee you that .

Lucy continues to dig herself a hole when she bring up that maybe it was "unconscious". Not deliberate but also that he couldn’t help it. Which doesn’t make Tim feel any better. Nor would it make me feel any better either tbh….Basically saying he has no control over things he does. Which just insult to injury at this point for him. Then Lucy goes for her next punch below. One I still feel was unfairly delivered.

Does Tim still carry those issues? Of course he does. 100% that is still a weight on him. It’s reflected in the next ep when the subject of UC comes up. But does it belong in this fight with him? No. It has zero place in it. But like I said before she is feeling a loss of control and confidence in herself. So she is projecting her insecurities and feelings onto Tim. By bringing up his and using them to stabilize hers. It's a low blow she is dispatching to him.

She is running from her own feelings about this. She is also protecting herself by making it about Tim and his problems. (Which he has for sure) Because she isn’t ready to face the fact that she’s afraid of UC and all that will come with it. How being a detective on top of it is going to pull her from him even more.

She voiced these concerns in 5x19 when she was originally studying for her exam. It’s easier for her right now to hide in and blame Tim for his problems, than deal with her own right now. Tim’s reaction is so valid in this moment. Because to him all he did was have her back from the jump. He is feels sucker punched by this explosion and it's written all over his reaction.

Lucy asked him to help her. He did. Even told her it wouldn’t be easy and he wouldn’t be soft on her. She accepted the terms of this situation willingly. Tim supported her best he could through her meltdown. Did his damndest to not comment on it. He knows it’s her process to spiral a bit then right herself. Because he knows her so well. He had her back in trying to help figure out her wildcard. She rejected it and drowned.

Tim was calm and kind even if she didn’t recognize it about the exam. When she was doubting herself he built her up letting her know she can do it. Did his best to be in her corner if she truly felt she wasn’t ready. Then congratulated her when she got her case win. To Tim all that was him having her back.

It’s why he’s so blindsided and hurt by her words. Lucy is basically kicking him while he down in this moment and it hurt to watch. Because her anxiety and immense stress has blinded her. Making her act so very not like herself. She came at him with a one-two punch. First punch accusing him of undermining her and second being an unfair Isabel punch.

The K.O. punch really is him reading her face above. The way she looks at him when he says ‘But if you can’t see that then…’ Doesn’t even finish his sentence. He can read her just as well as she can read him. Lucy cannot see that right now. Too clouded by her extreme anxiety and stress to see him and his intentions clearly. So he ejects out of the convo. She has knocked him down for the count.

Tim can’t take the way she is looking at him right now. The way she is making him feel. Tim has always held how she viewed him in high regard. Nothing means more to him than what she thinks of him. So for her to level him with this is heartbreaking for him. So he reverts back to old Tim and clams up. Tells her he’s tired and for them to take the night off. Then walks away from her with no way for her to retort.

Lucy is a block of ice until this line of his. She was fully expecting him to apologize and go home with her. And he did not. He ejected out of the conversation to go lick his wounds. The look of shock on her face is everything. She wasn’t expecting that at all. You can see the panic on her face. That raw panic of her being left behind by him. Of Tim leaving her. The tears building in her eyes as he does this. Oh the painful foreshadowing that is this moment…..

The lyrics for this scene are so poignant and perfect. As is the entire musical lineup for this season. Perfectly encompasses Lucy in this episode and especially this scene. Here are some of my favs.

‘I think I’m losing my mind. I see you’re losing your light. Drowning out the decibels. Do you wanna find the antidote? Trying to watch my obstacles, see how fully I’ve been broke.’ Lucy is so broken in this episode and doesn’t reach out to the one person, her person to help fix her. She was drowning and went to him for the antidote and then refused it the entire time. Then gets consumed by it all.

Just a glaring look into how they both deal with being emotionally overwhelmed and vulnerable. And it’s not a good look for either of them this season tbh. But we start out with Lucy’s where I side with Tim before we go head long into Tim’s and I side with Lucy it's balanced at least lol. Damn good premiere though. I was buzzing with excitement after it.

As always thank you to anyone who read this. To all the likes, comments and or reblogs I may receive you are the best. I shall see you all in 6x02 :)

Side notes-Non Chenford

Scruffy Tim in this ep has my ovaries in overdrive. Mmm just wanna nom on his jawline like corn on the cob.

Nyla Harper being a bad ass in a tense situation is primo. Can always count on her. The aftermath sucks for her though.

Angela being more excited to see a burrito than her husband is hilarious and so on brand haha

Main baddie gets eliminated at the end of the ep. Not sure I remember why tbh haha Things got hazy at the end of the season for me with the SL.

I watched Musicals of Moriarty (Op1-3) and those were amazing, everything I wished anime had in matter of plot and characters was there. And no I don’t mean Truck of the sherliam that Musicals have (it’s nice add and I love it, but if they didn’t go so hard for it I would be still happy) because it had what I think was important in manga, small details of story and characters that made me love Moriarty so much now. Like the matter of taxes in Durham and how William fixed it right away to help poor, overworked people living there. I really don’t like how anime makes him for first few episodes “the devil” who only whispers on others ears and pushes them to kill and he himself doesn’t dirty his hands. He always put himself on the first line of his plans, like with “Kidnapping of noble” chapter, he kills Albert’s brother on his own etc. Like how Baskerville arc was SO important for Louis, Fred and Moran characters. Like in anime because of lack of it you can change those three to any other characters and it wouldn’t matter. Miss Hutson is amazing in musicals, gosh, poor women, how she didn’t get a stroke or heart attack yet I don’t know XD and musical doesn’t skip on that scene between her and Irene with dress that I found quite funny when I first read it in manga and thought this adds a lot to both women characters. 

You know you did wrong when your anime has less action scenes then musical... Like really, the person who did script for anime did so many strange changes to plot and cut so many important ones while adding own one it's crazy and I have no idea why it happened.

As for character, the best from the start was Sherlock for me, he’s amazing.  I think Liam's one was little too stiff and not enough emotional in Op1-2 but in Op3 he finally is perfect Liam, smiling, hurting, sassy and I think his vocal got better. As for other characters they were amazing too. I only couldn’t get used to William and Albert but only because their anime saiyuus did so amazing job. Louis had the best vocal at the start I think. From songs I think the middle one in Op2 made most impression for me, I need to rewatch it and remember names of songs for future. The “Catch me if you can” scene in the musical was the only one weaker I think in compare to anime and manga, but when at the end of Op2 they come back to theme “Catch me” it did earned a few points back in my eyes. And wow Op3 songs were so much longing of William and Sherlock to each other it’s just wow, I didn’t think they will go so hard for it and I’m not complaining. I guess Op4 focuses more on Whiteley and John&Mary arcs so probably there is not so much sharliam there, but if Op3 was like this then I can image how hard they will go with William visit at Sherlock’s place, letter and bridge scene. And I will only need Op6 with hospital and marriage vows to die happy XD.

ps. If anyone knows if it’s possible to pay and see Op4 somewhere online, please let me know. Buying stuff from Japan is always very expensive for me because of shipping cost, if I can avoid it the I would gladly watch it this way.

Motherly reader babying them~

Louise James Moriarty

Lord…… please help this man….

He’s not going to make it out alive when he’s with you. He’s really not gonna make it.

He’s embarrassed, he’s flustered, he’s confused, he’s dumbfounded, he’s flabbergasted, he’s embarrassed, he’s shocked, he’s embarrassed, wait- I already said that.

He just doesn’t understand. Why are you spoiling him so much and why does he like it so damn much?!! He’s not supposed to enjoy being babied like this, he’s an adult! Not a clingy child that want s to be spoiled by their mother.

Mortified… is and understatement. In all honesty, words and emotions failed him right on the spot in the most painful way possible. And he may or may not have an existential crisis due to this.

He rather jump off a bridge than admitting how much he loves your pampering and affection. He rather die than say he enjoys how you treat him like a little child, how you pull him close to your ches, and how the way you feed him always gives him butterflies on his stomach.

Don’t get the wrong idea. He’s honestly overjoyed that you always help him take care of the mansion. Having your help makes everything so much easier for him, and he couldn’t care less that Moran didn’t do his chores. (He still makes him do it though cause he doesn’t want to tire you out from his undone work)

He always repay you and pamper you back, but it always backfire hard cause you show him affection twice as much. Like the time he made you your favorite meal and ends with you the one feeding him instead while he wonders how the hell did he get here?

Just like William, he never had a mother. But with you…. God, he never knew it would so good to be with you. He wish he could’ve have met you sooner, cause he adores you. Every. Single. Bit of you.

Louise is more of the type to be too embarrassed to accept his tendencies unlike Albert who refuse to acknowledge it due to his pride. So Louise feelings are more of a surprise and embarrassment than denial.

Accepting his childish tendencies is a long way to go. But he’ll eventually accept it sooner or later most likely sooner. And even if (reluctantly) accepts it, he will never stop feeling incredibly embarrassed about it. But either way, he always loves your attention, it always makes him feel warm and comforted. And nothing will ever change that, not even his embarrassment.

He’s always so embarrassed with how you always spoil him. And he will NEVER want to show his childish tendencies to anyone, not even Willia. But after a long long while and and FINALLY accepts it. He’s the sweetest being that has ever existed.

And don’t even get me STARTED on cradling. He has the urge to just vanish from existence just by the thought of it. He refuse to be cradled like a baby and he will try to avoid the topic as much as possible. But but but but BUT!! If he does (which will probably take an eternity) he’ll be incredibly tensed and embarrassed being in your lap. His face will be the darkest shade of red you’ll ever seen and he won’t be able to relax that much.

It will take him a long time for him to get used to be cradled like that. And his face will always be red everytime you do no matter how many times you and Louise done this. But he will slowly and surely relaxes in your touch and embrace and grow to love every single second of it.

He won’t show his tendencies often, but he will be much more affectionate and clingy in private when you two are alone. And no, he’s not going to show it infront of anyone else. Maybe William or Albert. But that’s it, no one else.

In all honesty, William is really happy for him. Seeing someone who can take care of him just fills him with joy and he can’t thank you enough. William loves him just as much as he Louise does. And he’s relieved to see him feel comfortable. Albert is also happy for him. And Louise has never felt so relieved to hear that.

Just like I said before, accepting his tendencies is a long way to go, but that doesn’t mean it’s impossible. When he starts to slowly accepts it, you can see that he will be less reluctant and doesn’t decline your affection as much and just shyly accepts it. He won’t try to refuse your spoonfed or avoid your offer to sit on your lap. Despite still feeling embarrassed.

He’s never going to get used to his childish tendencies. And in all honesty, he’s a bit self conscious about it. And also a little bit insecure to show his vulnerability. But of course, you reassure him it’s completely okay to feel that. Everyone deserves to embrace their inner child, and for someone like him. It’s an absolute must!

I’ve said this many times before and I don’t care. I will say it again… words cannot express just how much he loves you. You’re everything and much more to him, and if he could give you the world he WOULD (and maybe will) he just loves you so much.

He would do anything and everything for you. He would gladly cook a dish that takes hours to make just to see you smile. He would clean the whole mansion spotless from every nook and cranny just to hear your praises. End he always craves it everytime.

Just like the other brother and what I said MANY times before. He adores your love and affection, and it’s you who can soothe his aching soul inside him. He never met someone who can fill him with so much joy before…

THIS TOOK ME SOO LONG TO POST THIS FOR NO GODDAMN REASON!!😭

I’M SO SORRY LOUISE!! I DID YOU SO DIRTY!!

When He's In Your Arms

Erika lured him into working for Lane's terrorist schemes under the guise of CIA operations, justifying atrocities with twisted logic. His conscience gnawed at him; killing didn't provide solace. His days were bleak until Ethan Hunt entered his life.

I don't want August to die and I think some plots imply that he is not totally a bad guy. So I want to save him and write a romantic story for Ethan and him >_<

August is still struggling on the edge of the cliff. His blue eyes are no more horrifying than a lion’s since the pupils can hardly ever focus because of the exhaustion, just like two gorgeous sapphires. He wishes the fucking helicopter wouldn’t explode so soon so that he can escape from such an extreme situation and clarify that he is not a betrayer at all to the whole action team. He swears he will punch Ethan: This idiot doesn’t find anything unusual at all??? Although he has to say that it’s just a slight difference, it’s super surprising that he doesn’t find anything wrong with the controller??

Hope I can get the chance, dude. August murmured. He doesn’t really want to punch at him. He knows that the American agent will always be very happy after knowing some good news, though he tends to be quite serious at the beginning… He wants to see the loving smile on Ethan’s face when he knows he’s on their side. He is a direct man, doing things directly, but this time, he can’t simply shout at Ethan and ask him to help him get rid of this disgusting helicopter. He is too vulnerable to do so, maintaining in the narrow room is not an easy task and he runs all his energy. Meanwhile, Lane’s monitors are everywhere in his suit. He doesn’t want to be traced and murdered after escape or drag Ethan with him.

He was once a loyal agent working for the Apostles. He killed innocent women and children and spread different strains of the virus. That was why he was called the Hammer. He destroyed everything in the way. Lane usually praised him for doing such a thing. “I am Professor Moriarty and you, my friend, are the modern-day Moran!” Solomon laughed and told him from time to time. He was famous as a criminal, but he knew he didn’t want it. At first, he was a common CIA agent, being told to do some cliché tasks. One day a woman called Erika came and became the connection between Solomon and him. He was told to do all kinds of disgusting things, in the name of CIA, of course. He gradually realized Erika was a terrorist working for Lane who silently came into the CIA system, asking the best agents to work for them. They disguised so well and found many justice excuses for each mission. If they didn’t let him explode the plutonium bomb to destroy the world, he wouldn’t make his assumption so certain. He always asked himself if he did the right thing, killing people didn’t cure him. His days were dark and decadent, he couldn’t aim the target of his life though he is an outstanding shooter. Fortunately, everything changes after meeting Ethan Hunt.

He first met him at the airport. Erika wants him to murder Hunt, the IMF agent. She said he was a potential threat because he saves people and causes failure. But Walker was crystal that she wanted to kill him simply because he was a talented agent who could probably stop her destruction plan. He is a good man. I have to protect him. August thought. Of course, he was staring at Hunt’s shiny smile and lovely green eyes. They were like spring, rushing all his unhappiness away. What a man! He murmured and laughed slightly. At the very first he regarded Hunt as a good-looking man, but they built a very strong bond when doing the mission. He truly appreciates Ethan’s bravery and Hunt sometimes laughs at him because of… acting like a hammer? Whatever, they got close. Now, however, the close friends appear to be totally split up. Ethan picks up the controller and waves it to show off, “Get your controller, and bye explosion! Seems your effort is wasted hah.” He says happily, with a charming smile on his face. He briefly checks the controller to see if there is any trap. Doubt everything is what a professional agent should do, isn’t it? To his surprise, there is something wrong with it. The button is totally broken. Ethan thinks it was broken during the scuffle. However, the circuit system is also down. This couldn’t be destroyed with ease because they were hide inside the box. Someone meant to do it, but he didn’t get a chance to do so. Consequently, the only person who could turn down the whole system is…

“Jesus, it’s Walker!” Ethan cried. Indeed, August had many opportunities to kill Ethan in the mission and pretended to be an incident, in the elevator or the sewer… but he didn’t. How could a hammer stop cleaning his rivals? This would never be possible, but silly Ethan obviously didn’t take this into consideration. He created a fake enemy. He is so pleased to know that. He doesn’t want to step on two separate and opposite ways with him. A British man with an attractive appearance and a good mind is always impressive for everyone. Moreover, Ethan does admire his determination so much. Ethan relaxes a bit after knowing the plutonium bomb won’t explode, but his partner August is not relaxed at all. He could have asked Benji and Luther for help, unluckily the radio is down. He knows the Apostles have monitors on Walker’s suit. Every agent, especially the best of the best, is an unstable element of these terror organizations. Being told to do tasks and get paid doesn’t mean they have to be loyal to their so-called leader. Moral standards, emotions, and other factors may affect which side they are on. Although they were well-trained, it doesn’t mean they will not betray their teams. Even a small percentage of possibilities exist. So, he can’t simply shout at him to notify he got his information, and that he will help him. It’s some indirect methods that he has to take. “Hey, August, take our song as my last precious gift for you.” Ethan signs. He isn’t sure whether Walker can read this and realizes his reply and deeper feelings. Oh, his reply, no doubt takes the first place. How can you mix my personal thing and work together, you silly Ethan, he blames himself, but it doesn’t matter because August does get it.

“Our song” was special to both Ethan and August, though they both think this is quite embarrassing and the scene always lingers in their mind. A noisy night with gun fires and dead bodies, they finished their small task and stepped into a bar, which didn’t seem to be much quieter. They ordered two glasses of whiskey to calm themselves down and casually chatted. The topics were no more than making fun of each other and judging some boring and ridiculous spy movies. Once a song called When a Girl’s in Your Arms was played by the jukebox, Ethan sang along with the background music. It was not a very loud voice, compared to the annoying and chaotic environment, his voice was supposed to be weaker, but in August’s mind, it was clear and touching somehow. He has a sweet voice, he mused. “So hold her tight, and never let her go…” Seeing his intoxicated face, August wanted to play a prank, he leaned into Ethan's space, pretending to be held, and sang along. Surprisingly, Ethan really gave him a warm hug and stared at his blue sky using his green ocean. “I will hold you tight and protect you forever, Augie-Pie.” Ethan slurred. August thought he was probably drunk, that was why he said these incredible words. Embarrassed, Walker found himself blushing, unexpectedly touched.

“Cable?” August says weakly. He can hardly ever see a thing, even the sky becomes darker. He wants to gamble, to see his partner’s lovely face, his fascinating eyes, and his strong body, though he knows he will probably fail. He is too tired to save himself. He did too many things wrong, slaughter, destruction, bio attack… He is the death, the most demonic death ever. He never takes the villains to hell but flays the innocent lives’ skin and drinks their blood without blinking his eyes. The retribution comes, he murmurs, this cursed man doesn’t deserve to be saved, despite there being a pleasant seed secretly growing in his tough heart. Ethan tightens the cable a bit and notifies Walker it’s time to climb. No magnesium powder, both of them don’t know if this British boy can overcome this 90-degree cliff.

He slowly holds the rope and climbs up. Although the cable is not very smooth, the friction force is considerably small. The wreck of the helicopter is burning, flames are like dancing girls to attract him to fall and have Tennessee waltz with them, sparkles everywhere. He is sweating, sweat comes into his eyes and wets his hair. Pain, forever pain, endless pain, he struggles. As if the fire heats the cable, he finds he wants to release his hands and simply fall. The resistance force of the air and the feeling of the loss of gravity feel fantastic, people always be dumb in extreme situations, he ridicules himself, you want to be numb too, huh. Mr. Smile is waiting for him, he can’t just go, Ethan doesn’t loosen the other side of the cable, how can he give up?

Somehow, he finally reaches the edge of the flat rock in the abyss. Ethan drags him on the platform and lets him lean on his right shoulder. His shoulder is not as wide as August’s, but comforts Walker a lot. He throws the disgusting monitor away and at the meantime, the helicopter explodes, dust’ everywhere. Hunt gives Walker a soft hug, and rough hands gently touch his back which is full of scars. He guesses agents like them won’t feel scared after experiencing a disaster anymore, but he still wants to tell Walker that he will be with him. “I will never let you go and face dangers alone now,” he smiles, “You are the boy in my heart.”

“You are the special one to me, too.” August looks into Ethan’s eyes. Beautiful irises reflect the burning fire after explosion, pure and passionate, like love.

“I love you,” they both said.

Random ask, cause you have finished tgcf, what if the yuumori cast got into the tgcf universe? Who do you think fit into the cast? Like who do you think fit as xie lian, hua cheng, shi qingxuan, etc....

Sorry not sorry but Albert's feelings about William are the closest Yuumori comes to Hualian vibes RIP. Sherliam doesn't translate to Hualian, but AlWill could with a little tweaking.

That being said, Xie Lian just has such utter next level trauma that it makes the Moriartys' childhood look like a walk in the park. I don't think any character in Yuumori is really a close mirror of Xie Lian. William is a lot like Xie Lian was around the time of his first ascension and his first banishment and the famine in Yong'an, right at the point where he was determined to defy even heaven itself with the intent of saving the world.

But that's the thing. William's whole plan has an inherent immaturity to it. And Xie Lian was at that same point when he was a beloved god-child prince. But mountains of trauma and hundreds of years leave him outright cringing over his younger self. He's still kind, he still wants to help, and (though I have not actually read the final volume yet), presumably he (and love) DO save the day in the end. But he comes at it from a much more realistic pov in later years. So. Idk, give William immortality and maybe he'd grow up to be Xie Lian eventually. 😅 (this is only a Liam diss in the silliest lightest-hearted of ways. He's my precious babygirl.)

The problem with doing comparisons for the rest of the characters is that everyone abandons Xie Lian at one point or another, except Hua Cheng. William's followers are a lot more determined and dedicated. Moran could be Feng Xin, maybe, or Pei Ming? But I don't know, the rest gets too complicated.

Most importantly, however: Shi Qingxuan = James Bond. They're basically the same character, except the Wind Master seems to lean more nonbinary. But they've both got the same fun, clever, badass sidekick who provides comic relief thing. Fortunately, Yuumori is a kinder universe, and Bond will hopefully stay our happy boy. 😭

I would ship you with Louis. You would help him live his best life and he would be super supportive and also cut a bitch if they crossed you. Mutually beneficial.

I have so many THOUGHTS and FEELINGS about this lmao. Watch me proceed to take this WAY TOO SERIOUSLY

On the one had: Louis is prime man material, how could I not be happy? But on the other... I would put so much pressure on myself to reach the perfection I see in him so as not to let him down?

This man knows how to keep a house. He knows how to cook, and clean, and organize and do all the traditional housewifey things. He has no need for a housewife. But he's also fucking M. Like. What would me, and my absolutely human levels of cleanliness (when is the last time I've cleaned the bathrooms?) and culinary expertise (lackluster at best) and my fucking retail job offer someone like Louis James Moriarty?

He'd have to like... actually like me. And this is someone who doesn't let other people in. I can't imagine him actually liking me. I can't imagine a scenario where his initial reaction to me wasn't just like his canon reaction to Sherlock, or Moran, unless I wasn't being myself. And even if he did somehow like me for me... I'm not the kind of person that would easily believe it.

And so I'd keep striving to be some perfect being that doesn't exist and that I've made up in my mind and his presence would just fuel this self-destructive tendency.

That doesn't even mention the fact that he sees his purpose in life as being to serve William. Like even post time skip, when he's sitting with William and Albert reading his own diary in The Remains [spoilers, obviously but also just generally darker stuff below the cut]

Louis is literally just begging William to fucking rely on him. Like, Louis. Baby. 😭

How can I get in the way of that??? If I met him pre-timeskip my first reaction would be to repeatedly tell him that he is worth so much more than his brothers let him do. Than what they make him do.

Louis is not in a place to hear that then. I had this whole conversation with him to my steering wheel as I was reading the manga about this and he just... couldn't see my point of view. He's far far far too enmeshed in William to see anything about that situation as a problem.

And yet, I'd do the exact same thing to myself for him.

The person who crosses me the most is me? Would he cut me out of my head? Because that's the only way I see this ending. It's the only way I would want it to end.

That steering wheel conversation ended with him stabbing me. That is the basis of the "hurt Louis" fic. I tried getting to creative about it, and couldn't come up with the context to make it happen... but that's the hurt Louis fic that I used to think about a lot.

So I ship it. But not like that. I ship it in the most fucked up and horrendous sense, where neither of us come out unscathed.

And this hasn't even touched on the amount of time I spend thinking pornographic thoughts about Louis and his brothers.

[tiger-moran]

chaosdevil replied to your post: If it helps, I always look forward to updates bc I read them whenever I have the time (usually in school, so sadly not that often). But I'll get e-mail notifications and think:" Oh wait a sec that looks like ao3...Hell yeah it's an update!" Anyways, yeah it always makes me happy to see you update and I'm gonna read the next chapter after my exam. Love your work :)

Thank you so much, this does mean a lot to me :)

I guess one of the things that's bothering me the most about this, uh, 'essay' in particular though is that a lot of the people who I would want to read it are never going to read it. By which I mean there are so many people who hate Moriarty and think he is just Absolute Evil and claim all kinds of shit about him and I have tried to dismantle all of that, I have tried to refute a lot of the stuff that gets said about Moriarty and point out the evidence that he's actually Absolute Evil is basically non-existent and that there are far, far worse things and people in that world than him. But they're never going to read it because they do hate Moriarty and generally also they love Holmes and Watson more than anything else and don't want to perceive Moriarty any other way (Moran too but he gets just ignored more). It is infuriating, that I can write all of this, the longest single thing I've written for them, and it will still never make any difference overall to how the fandom treats the characters and pairing I love.

(Plus I am certain that there are other people who will ignore it just because I have dared to mention queerness and Moriarty/Moran in it, even though it's not even about that and that's just a minor part of it.)

[multipleoccupancy]

Moriarty was still in two minds whether or not he was happy with another drop in visit from the detective. While he had plenty of uses for Charlie and did enjoy showing off at times, he did not like the idea of a law official feeling so comfortable to just join him in his office. Sure he had granted permission to enter as of course he would but what if he came when others had the same idea? The university was off limits to anyone but Moran with regards to his other work, but that didn't mean that the fumbling baboons of the underground didn't sometimes act on a false sense of hope and turn up regardless.

He was staring at Charlie as he warmed himself by the fire, the flickering light against his face just about hiding the slight menace to his expression while he made the detective some tea to help warm him further. He had come to complain about Holmes? Well, it was nearly his favourite topic. Maybe this time he would be ok to indulge then.

Moriarty approached, placing the tea on the table between the chairs and setting himself down by the fire too, holding his own mug as he looked into the fireplace pensively as Charlie elaborated on his complaint.

"He is an arrogant piece of work," Moriarty agreed wholeheartedly. "If he is pointing out things he believes you have missed, be they true or not, then he has had to look into your work in any case." He took a sip from his mug to stall himself but made sure to hiss out a noise of annoyance just afterwards. "I suspect he has worked out you are not keen on him, he may be trying to get you to doubt yourself so to remove you before you can have the Met see sense and either hire him into a role and regulate him, or stop consulting with him. Neither of which I would think he wants."

He was sure to look to Charlie there, sincere as he could muster, "You're a good detective Charlie, it probably intimidates him. In some ways it's a compliment what he's done."

🔥 Moriarty and Charlie

Sharing the Holiday Season Prompts 🔥 Our muses sit in front of a fire together

What kind of university had a working fireplace? A poncy one did - but Charlie wasn't going to point that out. Not when his current meeting included sitting in front of one - and certainly not when the weather was so chilly outside that the roaring fire was very much appreciated.

"Sherlock Holmes is pissing me off," Charlie commented as he allowed himself to be distracted for a moment, warming his hands instead of paying attention to Professor Moriarty. The topic was one that he deemed safe, knowing that the other man was not particularly fond of the 'detective' either.

Charlie liked having a 'safe' topic with Moriarty. The other man was interesting, but he was so smart. It was intimidating sometimes - but, when it came to complaining about Holmes, it felt more like they were on the same level. It wasn't at all like when the topic of mathematics (or, to be quite honest, anything academic) came up, and Charlie found himself feeling like a stupid kid that knew nothing about the world.

"He doesn't care about my cases - they're not interesting enough or him, apparently - but he still points out things I've missed. It's irritating."

And it also made Charlie worried that one day Holmes would point out something about his personal life. Since the injury, there were quite a few things that he really didn't want anybody saying aloud - especially not in front of his other colleagues...

Guest in Moriarty house

Character: William James Moriarty

Fandom: Moriarty the Patriot

A/n:William James Moriarty, second son in Moriarty family. He has two brothers, older one Albert James Moriarty and younger one Louis. Liam is really attractive young man, but for some reason he doesn’t have a wife or fiancé or girlfriend. Well he had a girl best friend who moved to other city but he hasn’t had her number or anything to find her. Even her grandfather didn’t know anything about her after she left London. Y/n Y/L/N is beautiful young lady who is Jack the Ripper’s granddaughter, she left London for her study. But one day Liam and the others had meeting in there mansion about there plan, but did they know that one guest will came to there door?? Is it someone who will kill them or Liam’s lover?

London, 19:48pm

“How will we do this mission Liam?” Jack asked his boss. “I have a plan but i miss one thing to complete plan”. He said, and everyone was curious about that. *ding dong*. Everyone looked at each other. They didn’t except guests in this time and they even don’t have guests here. Moran came to doorway and when he opened the door he saw beautiful young lady maybe like Fred’s age. “Can I help you with something young lady?” He asked in flirty way “Im here to see Albert, Liam, Louis and Jack” lady said with smile. He was confused but let you in and when you two cane to door of room where others were, he stoped. “Please wait here”, with that he entered the room and in 2 seconds he opened the door and let you in. “How can we help you Miss…?” Liam said and stoped when he realized he doesn’t know your last name. “Miss Renfield or if you like more Y/n Morarty” you said and Albert’s glass of wine broke when it got to floor. Jack looked straight to your way and Louis and Liam were the same as Jack. They couldn’t believe, you are back. After 7 years you are back. Jack ran to you and hugged you and you hugged him. “I can’t believe you are back. My sweet little Y/n is back” your grandfather said that with tears and looked at you to see if everything is okey with you. “Ah Grandpa dont cry please” you said as you wiped his tears. After that you looked at Albert and Louis who were cleaning wine mess. You came to them and helped with mess and hugged Albert and Louis. “Oh guys i missed you so much”. “We missed you too Y/n”. You were talking with them a little bit more and you realized that Liam is not in the room now. You excused yourself and went to Liam’s office. He was ther looking at you from his desk. “Well hello to you. I missed you” you said and came to his desk. He smirked at you. In one second you were laying on his desk as he was kissing you. You were kissing him back.(you two made out)

01:27

You were laying in Liam’s bed naked. You and Liam were married for 2 years but no one knew because you were most of the time away from London but now you are back. And you will stay forever. You will help William with his plan and after that you two will have happy family.

Request: Hello! Could I pretty please have a Moriarty the Patriot story with Sebastian? Anything sweet and fluffy will do! 🥰🥰

Hello lovely! I’m so sorry this took so long! I tried to keep this gender neutral just so everyone is included :) I hope that’s alright!

This oneshot also takes place during chapter 32 of the Moriarty the Patriot manga or the second OVA of the anime.

__________________________________________________________________________

“Is that my shirt?” 

You jumped and turned from the mirror where you were buttoning up what was indeed Moran’s shirt. He leaned in the doorway to the bathroom, one hand on his hip as he watched with a fond smile. His hair was rumpled, and his eyes were dark and tired from nightmares. But he looked happy to see you nonetheless. 

Returning the smile, you finished buttoning the shirt up and approached him. The shirt was much too large for your short stature and hung to mid-thigh. He slung his arms low on your waist and pulled you close. You reached up and wrapped your hands around the back of his neck, tangling your fingers in his unruly black hair, pulled him down, and your lips met his. 

He tasted like whiskey and sunlight. Like cigarettes and the soft wispy clouds that hung high in the sky. You loved these types of kisses, the sunlight and cloud kisses that painted your skin in hues of blues and reds to make a lilac sky. You pulled away as he nipped your bottom lip and grinned at his pout.

“We have things to be doing. You can kiss me more later.” He brightened but reluctantly pulled away.

“I’m holding you to that.” He said, leaning his forehead against yours briefly before kissing your nose and then going to get changed.

The Moriarty estate was alive with chatter as you bustled around the kitchen. The Moriarty’s were getting ready for a tea party, and you were in charge of the food as Louis was frantically helping get everything else prepared. Moran’s shirt was tucked into your trousers, and the shirt sleeves were rolled up to your elbows as you adjusted your apron.

Tarts, cakes, other pastries, scones, and every manner of desserts and finger sandwiches littered every inch of counter space in the kitchen as you flitted about like a bee looking for pollen. 

You were placing the finishing touches on a strawberry shortcake when strong arms wrapped around your waist and pulled you back into a firm chest. You dropped the piping bag in surprise and turned to see Moran. He grinned and dropped a kiss to your cheek. 

“What are you doing here? I thought you were supposed to be helping Fred with the flowers.” You asked, and he shrugged,

“I wanted to see my favorite busy bee.” He said before kissing you again. You had to wonder if he had a fixation on your mouth with how much he kissed you, but you weren’t necessarily complaining. 

“Keep the PDA to your living quarters, please. We’ll be having guests soon, and you both need to get ready.” Then came an unfamiliar voice, and you jumped. Moran scowled as Louis came in and inspected the room. He nodded to you approvingly at the display of pastries, desserts, and sandwiches but still had a scowl on his face. 

“Whatever, sourpuss,” Moran grumbled but let go nonetheless and headed off to his bedroom so he could wrangle his hair into submission and change. 

You took up the piping bag again but stopped when Louis approached you, tying an apron of his own around his waist, so he didn’t get any flour or frosting on his nice suit.

“Allow me. The other preparations are done. We’re just waiting on Moran. Please go make sure he stays on track.” He said and adjusted his glasses. You handed him the piping bag and untied your apron, hanging it on the rack beside the door.

Moran was still grumbling as you knocked and entered his room. Dressed in a nice suit, he was in the bathroom, standing before the mirror and trying to comb his hair. It was going terribly, to say the least. He had a stubborn cowlick on the back of his head that refused to stay down. You crept up behind him and wrapped your arms around his shoulders, reaching for his comb.

“Let me help.” You said, and he relented, handing you the comb and sitting on the bench beside the sink. You stood in front of him and tilted his head slightly so you could get to the back of his head. 

The cowlick and any other flyaway strands were quickly tamed and combed down, and soon, his hair was slicked back neatly and combed to the side in front. He looked handsome, but, if you had to admit it, you preferred him with his unruly hair. This was too… proper. Not brash and wild like Moran was. 

As soon as you set the comb down, Moran was pulling you into his lap and wrapping his arms around your waist. 

“Thanks. Love you.” He whispered, sending a shiver down your spine but you smiled at him and cupped his face, kissing his forehead gently.

“Love you too.”

✧*.｡*♡✧*.｡*♡✧*.｡*♡✧*.｡*♡✧*.｡*♡✧*.

Albert

•Albert is a busy man, he'd never even thought of having a pet

•but then again,he never thought of loving someone as well

•so when you suggest the idea of having a pet together

•he doesnt say no

•Albert likes all the animals the same

•but when he sees the small puppy in your arms

•wriggling in your embrace and blinking up at him with its huge black eyes

•he finds himself actually laughing

•he never knew he would be a dog person this bad

•but from then on, you'll always find him with the small dog around him

•Whether its on his chest when he's taking a nap

•or on his lap when he's working

William

•when William was in orphanage with his brother

•he and Louis had founded a small kitten in the back yard

•they hadn't told anyone about it, secretly feeding and growing it up

•before they were adopted by the Moriarty family,the cat left,and Louis had spent an entire afternoon crying

•after that,William didnt have the time to have a pet,always too busy,always too tired

•but now that he's settled with you,his heart warm with your love

•he starts thinking it over

•so when he finds a black,small kitten in a box on his way back home

•he doesnt even hesitate before picking it up and rushing home to you

•to be honest, you've never saw William like this

•panting for breath,his cheeks flushed a lovely shade of pink

•but his single eye

•shining,blown wide open,the scarlet color reflecting the light in the room

•and when you ask him whats wrong

•he just hold up the kitten for you to see

•and he asks if you can keep it

•you were always fond of animals yourself,but seeing his hopeful eyes

•and his bright smile as you nod,

•you cant help but to sigh,your heart feeling minutes away from bursting from fondness

•and when he calls out for his brother,and the two Moriarties start talking excitedly about the cat

•you wished you could burn that sight in your heart forever

James Bond

•James loves ALL animals equally

•he had quite few in his childhood as well

•so when you insist on getting a pet

•he doesnt even hesitate before grabbing your hand and dragging you to the nearest pet store

•where you two spot a pure white bunny

•with red eyes

•and when the man beside you lets out the unmanliest shriek ever

•and his cheeks flush from embarrassment

•you let out a soft laughter

•never in your life you'd imagine to see your husband like this

•the man who'd go to war barehanded

•and almost begging you to get the small ball of fur

•its amusing,but refreshing as well

•seeing James genuinely happy,its a rare occasion,if not over you

•so you call for the shopkeeper

•bunny it is then

Sebastian Moran

•if Sebastian had free time,he rathered to spend it with you

•he usually takes his day offs relaxing,simply enjoying being in your presence and yours only

•so when he wakes up with a face he definitely did NOT go to sleep to

•he falls out of bed

•and thats how you find your husband on the floor

•with his awful bed hair

•and your new german dog sitting comfortably on his chest

•he glares up at you

•and the dog licks happily at his face

•earning a loud scream from him

•despite Sebastian's pouting and growling

•he develops a soft spot for the friendly creature

•and its not surprising to come home one afternoon from work

•only to see your husband dozing off on the couch

•with your a little huge dog sleeping protectively on his chest

•this definitely worth teasing Sebastian about later on

Thea stared at him with widened eyes. She was relieved that he wasn't going to hold any grudges against her for what she had done. Though she couldn't help but feel guilty. Guilty for the chaos she had caused due to her father's blackmailing. Honestly the heroine wasn't expecting him to be so openly warm and friendly with her much less an apology from him. Though Thea still felt as if she needed to make up for her actions. Starting by fighting by their sides to take down her father's twisted organization once and for all. "Thank you...Gene." it felt strange to call her idol by his name but it felt like a new start. One she was gladly going to take. A new start with the mad scientist, with Becky. A new start with her friends as well. They both decided to join the others to hear what Matthew had planned for their attacks. Knowing that the others would fill them in on exactly what they missed during that heartfelt moment. This just made Electric Blur feel all the more determination to give it her all. To be the genuine hero she always wanted to be. To call herself. Instead of this hollow title she used until recently. No longer a tool to be used. She also knew that eventually she will have to have a very difficult conversation with her friends later on but that could wait. It honestly made her happy to know they didn't completely hate her for what she did either. As well as they placed their trust in her. Otherwise they wouldn't be joining everyone involved to battle the ones who worked willingly at the B.E.A.W Labs and free all those who were imprisoned. Sure the first facility they were getting ready to storm was just one of many, Thea was going to make sure not one of them got missed in the end. Meanwhile there was an extremely agitated figure scribbling down things fiercely. Disappointed and angry by the fact that Darius had gone down so easily. Without any fight. If the embarrassingly weak attack against Maddrix could be considered a fight. Moran snarled down at the paper he was scribbling like crazy on. "Foolish man. I've given him what he wanted. Near perfect weapons. Ready for his use. Yet he went and allowed himself to be captured?! Did he not think to cover his ass this time! To be outsmarted by Maddrix. To take the obvious bait and not take any back up. He deserves to be locked up. I won't let this organization die. Like a Phoenix rising from the ashes. I will give it a new life. Come on. Every one of you, try to destroy us. I won't be taken down so easily as that pathetic man. I'll be waiting for you. All of you." Moran growled, gripping his pen so tightly that it broke in his hand. The scientist grumbled as he threw the pen to the ground, wiping off his hand on the dirty lab coat of his. "Those mice. I'm going to squish each and every one of them too." Moran still had quite a grudge against the mice pups. They managed to foil his plans each time. Well he's prepared for them as well. When he gets his hands on them. There won't be much of them left and he'll enjoy every second of it too. Moran placed down the pen and the clipboard he was using. It grated his nerves that this man he had respected had let him down in the worst way. If that man expects him or anyone else to come to his rescue, well Darius would be sorely wrong. He wasn't going to risk his neck for someone like that. Though for this beautiful organization, he would. For these beautiful creations of his, Moran would fight tooth and nail for. They hadn't made such wonderful progress just for anyone to stop. No. This wasn't the end and Moran was going to make sure it wouldn't be. The twisted scientist went from one room and into another. This one had cages within it. “Heh. Hello, my beauties. Are you ready to make me proud?” A sadistic grin now spread across his face. A few creatures moved about within their cages, snarling at the scientist. “Of course you all will. This is exactly what I made you for.” He beamed at him with such pride. “You will make them see exactly what we do. What we were destined to do. I know you'll show them all, my beauties.”

Matthew wasn't sure if he should be so surprised by how resilient his son was. Hugh though wasn't looking very pleased. His expression was one of absolute exhaustion and worry. Gene of course picked up on this, honestly feeling slightly guilty over putting the alien through so much stress in such a short time. Matthew had shared that same worry over the mad scientist, knowing just how little time his son had to recover. Yet he couldn't say no. What would've that done? Make Gene all the more stubborn and make him do something just as rash as he did? No. He knew better than to do so. “As long as you don't overdo it. Of course. I don't think your friend could take much more of our recklessness.” Gene gave him an apologetic expression as he knew what his father said was true. “I know. I'm sorry Hugh. You know I have to do this. I'm not going to just stay in bed while all this goes down. I'll stay in bed rest after this all you want. I promise.” Hugh sighed, crossing his arms. “You wouldn't listen to me anyway. Don't you get yourself hurt during this or I swear I will strap you down and leave you like that while you heal up.” Gene couldn't help but let out a little laugh at that. He knew that the alien would absolutely do that. His eyes went back to the silver falcon in his hand. The mad scientist was still slightly worn out but he's never felt so revitalized like this. Given life anew in a strange way. It didn't take long for the mad scientist to get himself dressed. Alex and Tristan had wanted to intervene and keep him from joining but they knew that would've encouraged him more as well. Though that couldn't stop either of them from helping Gene. He gave them both a look that showed he wasn't going to let them coddle him. He's never let them do so before. Even when he wore himself down to the bone when Becky went missing. That thought had made him stop and looked around for her. Having lost track of the girl during his identity crisis. No one else seemed to have noticed until they heard a whoosh and saw Becky nearly tackled her father over. She hugged onto him, holding something with one hand. “Hey, kiddo. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to worry you again. I'll be fine, I promise. Confused but fine.” Becky looked up at him, still not quite believing him. She quickly then placed another item within his hand. It was the goop ray he had left behind during the chaos. She had gone back to find it to give it back to Gene. He stared down at it. “Aw, thank you for getting this for me.” In another city, they were unaware that there was another gathering. The mayor of Newport had just finished giving the heroes the go ahead to storm the B.E.A.W Labs near their city. They were met with a riled up crowd filled with villains, civilians and other heroes alike. They didn't appreciate that these people were messing with their heroes as well. Ones they've grown to love over the years. They were just as inspired by Maddrixs broadcast. Sure they were a bit more on the bloodthirsty side but they were nowhere near the level of Darius. He had angered them so much they've put aside their differences temporarily. Having a bigger goal to accomplish first before resuming the status quo. It was unsettling just how quiet they went when they had seen the heroes step out. Waiting with bated breath for them to give them instructions on exactly where to go. Hydro had been surprised to see an old friend among the crowd. J.J. the villainous jester. There were a few others they've recognized. The circus themed villains that loved to team up with the jester. A certain doll who was once part of the villain roster of Fair City. They were going to bring every single one of them to the facility. To wait for Maddrix the malicious to take lead and destroy the hellish place. Taking down all those who willingly worked within there. Experimenting on innocent lives. They weren't going to stand for it at all. Even Atomic Steele knew to finally put aside his fury whether he liked it or not. He still despised him but he trusted his friend despite what happened. He still cared.

It still felt weird to Atomic, learning all that he did about his father's biological relationship to Maddrix. From what that woman Margaret told him, it made the hero think back to moments of his childhood before the massacre. How his dad never talked about his grandfather only telling the boy he had one who died. His dad only talking in details about his grandmother. There were times his dad seemed sad and frustrated about something, when a younger version of Max tried asking his dad what was wrong, all his dad would say was that he was just worried about and missing someone. At the time Atomic had no clue his dad was referring to an estranged cousin. The last time Atomic saw his dad alive, before he told the young hero to stay put and safe, was when his dad was watching the television and seeing what was going on. Atomic clearly remembered his dad having a horrified look but also a pained and guilt ridden expression. Although Max still hated Matthew, there was a part of the young hero that took some pity on Matthew and his father's past. A part of him that was strangely glad his grandfather perished by Maddrix's hands. Gene was ready to leave with Matthew and the others to head back to city hall. He had finished assembling his gear and putting on his attire for battle. Hey this was a serious matter but Gene didn't want to look like a bum going into battle. He also was kind of unsure about putting on his old Dr. Two Brains attire, which was just his work clothes. So Gene decided to make a compromise combining his former villain attires with his own spin. With Alex's and Tristan's help, the two aliens gathered a new lab coat for Gene along with a new change of clothes. These clothes were in clean and pristine condition. They also helped him gather a top hat and a silver mask, something similar to his old Professor Terror outfit. He didn't have the original clothing since he burned his outfit after the massacre. There was also no time to add some special sequins or elegant designs to his clothing much to Gene's chagrin. Gene looked into the mirror one last time before he left with Matthew, Alex, and Tristan. Gene's still white hair was pulled back into a ponytail. This earned an odd reaction from Becky as she muttered "no sandwich words" which made Gene recall Becky once telling him about the Chucktopia incident. Becky otherwise reassured her dad that she wasn't bothered by his style. Gene's silver mask was similar to how his old one was. It was an eye mask with embedded designs. The top hat Alex got him was definitely something similar to a Victorian era top hat but with modern designs. Gene had kept his gloves as his hands were still altered. He had gotten rid of his usual goggles as he saw no reason to wear them over his mask. As Gene held his old staff in his hands, the one thing from his Terror days he could never part with, an eerie feeling went down his spine. He recalled memories of his past, when he first joined his dad into the field of villainy, when he lead his own rebellion of villains against his father, and when he took down Atomic Steele. That wasn't Squeaky in action nor was it connected to his old Two Brains gimmick. That was all him. Gene let out a sigh and small smile. He had no idea what he was going to do after everything was over. Gene definitely planned to give Steven back his name and identity since he was going back to his old name that had been established on official, yet forged, documents. Gene wasn't sure if he was going back into the field as a villain or take a break after everything he had been through. One thing that was for sure, Gene was going to determine his own path and no sabotaged experiments or crazy animals and people was going to affect what he wanted to do with his life from now on. Meanwhile back outside the hallways of the medical clinic, Matthew was learning one of the most shocking things in his life. "You were in the mafia!" Matthew exclaimed in a shocked tone. @dualnaturedscientist

Hellooooo!!

I’m so happy that the requests are open! Soo if it’s not too much to ask can I request Sherly, Moran and Will, a married life with them ? Thank you in advance😖 Have a good day/ night!! Sending love and support💕💕💞💞

A/N: Hope you have a good day/night too! 💖💞

Married Life with Sherlock, Sebastian, and William

Sherlock Holmes, Sebastian Moran, and William James Moriarty

Sherlock Holmes

The idea popped up when he saw John with Mary, and he started to fantasize that it was you and him.

He knew he needed to clean up his act, so he started working on his domestic skills, paying bills, and controlling his smoking.

He even went to Mycroft about how to become a “proper gentleman”, which almost made Mycroft doubt that he was his actual younger brother.

You caught early on that he was acting differently, so you confronted him about it. He told you that he wanted to be better for you, someone you can be with.

You reassured him that you loved him the way he was and that won’t ever change, which made him feel better.

When he finally has the ring, he leaves it around the flat when you visit, wanting to see if you’ll find it (you don’t)

That is until you stayed over and woke up with the ring on your finger.

When you married him, there weren’t a lot of changes, except for the fact that you have his last name and he’s your husband now.

You were always at 221B Baker Street, so moving in was very exciting (Miss Hudson was the most excited to have you around).

He still has you around during cases, usually holding your hand and spinning your ring with his fingers.

He likes to touch his ring when his thinking or fidgeting. It somehow gives him comfort.

He also likes to kiss your ring or on your cheek when greeting you.

You two try to split the chores evenly, but you end up doing them together and turning them into dates.

When he’s had a long day, and you were at home, he likes to hold you close and recharge.

He also likes to have you on his lap while he’s experimenting or have you talk about your day.

Sebastian Moran

I feel like if he ever marries, it will be when it is finally peaceful with no more nobles to kill.

Sebastian may be a playboy, but once he really has his eyes set on someone, nothing’s going to get in his way.

It’ll take a long time for him to propose. He would carry the ring around for months and still think of how to do it.

If you start dropping hints about it, like your eyes lingering on weddings or rings, he’d be less afraid and more excited to propose.

Sometimes he jokes around it, but not enough to make you think there’s something behind it.

When he does propose, you wouldn’t know it was happening until he got down on one knee.

I feel like he’d want to settle somewhere more in the countryside (like in the anime).

He’d still tease you and can’t keep his hands to himself.

He will always have his arms around you when you wake up or go to sleep, usually with some kisses from your cheek down to your shoulders.

Surprisingly, he really helps around the house (granted, he’d want a reward afterward, but that’s for another time)

When you two have free time, expect to have this man wrapped around you, usually hugging you from behind before pulling you down to his lap while you two talk about your days.

The only time you ever catch him in bars is when you’re with him celebrating over drinks, or his co-workers dragged him (with your permission or he told you beforehand)

When women approach him and flirt, he usually shows them his wedding ring or mentions you.

When you’re out, he likes having you around an arm’s reach or just holding you by the waist.

Kids have never been part of his plans, but the idea of you being the parent of his child makes him happy.

It’ll take a long time for him to admit that, though.

William James Moriarty

At first, marriage never crossed his mind, let alone a romantic relationship.

When you walked in and showed him what future he could have with you, he started to change his point of view.

When he came back from the Reichenbach fall, and you two are reunited, spending the rest of his life with you was one of his priorities.

William knew he had to take it slow, and he didn’t want to scare you off.

You could have moved on with someone else for all he knows.

You reassured him that he doesn’t have to work so hard to rekindle your relationship since you knew what falling in love with him had, and you just wanted to be with him at the moment.

Sherlock also sent you letters about how much William missed you ever since he woke up.

He’s a little taken back but grateful for the detective. Ever since you two restarted, you loved each other better than ever before.

When he realizes that you’re ready for the next step, this man has your proposal and wedding planned down to a single second.

The wedding planner was a little scared, not gonna lie.

After you got married, you two decided to have a house of your own (somewhere nearby the mansion, of course)

You and William share the chores around the house, but sometimes he likes to surprise you with breakfast in bed or do your share when you had a rough day.

He’ll never admit it, but sometimes he leaves his lunch so that he can see you at the university.

Congrats! You are now the co-parent of his class.

William barely talks about his private life, but his students notice the loving expression he makes when you visit or mention you.

When he does have a free day, it’s either taking you on a date or a lazy day with just napping in the afternoon and cuddling.
