#awkward sherlock

[mouse-of-mischief]

You know what? I hope Sherlock & Co. goes mad with their version of Mycroft. I hope they just have the best time with him. I hope they look at the version of Mycroft played by Stephen Fry who wandered about naked in his home, my favourite on-screen Mycroft btw, and say "I'll do you one better". I hope they do the scene where Mycroft is first introduced by having him deduce things in a little game with Sherlock justice like the Granada series did. I hope they make him just as much as a little freak (affectionate) as Sherlock. I need more loveable weirdo Mycroft.

how to play with your little brother (?)

bringing back this old meme format to challenge myself to not overthink while drawing 🤧 (mycroft was since banned from practicing chemistry at home)

[holmesiswheretheheartis]

As much as I love the concept of Three Continents Watson, I do think it's funnier if he just made that up to look better in his stories and is actually really awkward around women

[coy-lee]

Some dork felt the urge to rewatch BBC Sherlock again and threw herself back down a rabbit hole.

Mycroft is legitimately one of my favorite fictional peeps of all time and Mark did an amazing job playing him.

ANYWAY

Just a smol offering of my current work~

It was worth a wound - it was worth many wounds.

i wish i had super fluffy romantic headcanons for sastiel but in my mind, their idea of spending time together is doing completely unrelated activities in the same room

maybe if they are feeling Freaky (TM) they will look at each other or sit marginally closer.

Also excuse me but Sherlock and John saying sorry to each other and speaking at the same time.... That was so sweet... And the high five and a hug......🥺

It's been two weeks for me but still I look at this page and 🥹🥹🥹❤️❤️❤️‼️‼️

Talking to my mom about BBC Sherlock and having to pretend I didn't binge through three seasons of it, retain knowledge about every episode, have read a few metas at this point and ship Johnlock

[helloliriels]

John caught himself moments too late;

A slip-up he just can't ... equate?

He'd never felt shy,

About calling a guy -

(Well, all except Sherlock) - his 'Mate'?

can you elaborate the benedict cumberbatch treatment.......... i wasn't there at the 2015

this was probably more like 2010-2014 i'm just extremely in denial about 2015 being a decade ago but people used to really REALLY want to fuck benedict cumberbatch. people would call themselves his cumberbitches, post gifsets of his #cumberbutt, write essays on his beautiful lips and eyes. there were hundreds of teenagers saying they wished they were british so they could meet him and they'd fall in love. umm so basically he was our rotting bloated corpse / jungkook but what i was implying with my post is half the emmrich fans i see type like they're stuck on 2013 fandom tumblr.

I sometimes get so frustrated with myself. I adore Sherlock, especially Sherlock&Co... But I am so upset that I won't make it to the upcoming meetup (again), I am still too nervous to join the discord. I rarely experience FOMO, but with the Sherlock&Co. community I do. Which is so silly!!!! Why am I like this...

Anyways, thank you for making it through my rant. Please enjoy the picture from the one and only Volunteer!

I took the picture during my London trip last summer. I can't wait to go back!

Never Leave Me Again

My eyes fluttered open after what felt like ages. After a moment of blurriness, I tried to make sense of my surroundings.

I found myself lying on the floor of the sitting room of 221 B Baker Street.

I must have fainted before.

Holmes was on his knees, towering over me from the left side.

Holmes. Mr Sherlock Holmes. My friend, my intimate companion, the only consulting detective in the world. The man the entire world thought to be dead.

Apparently, even death did not have a chance against him -- such was the power of my Holmes.

"Watson, my boy! Are you all right? You scared me to death for a good minute."

Something about his words ignited a fire in my heart. I clenched my fists in anger and frustration.

"Here I thought you were dead." I braced myself against the floor to be able to sit up. I grunted as I finally sat up straight.

Holmes looked down in embarrassment.

"Scared you to death, Holmes? Do you have any idea what I went through for these three years?" My eyes were welling up with tears.

I bent forwards to grasp his shoulder. Flesh and bones. I used my other hand to squeeze his shoulder properly, just to confirm that he was really there.

Holmes flinched in fear when I squeezed his shoulder. Did he really expect that I was going to beat him? It broke my heart to think he would even consider that a possibility.

"A thousand apologies, my dear Watson. I did not think you would be so affected."

"Why did you not? Did it not occur to you that you were my closest friend?"

"Of course, it did." Holmes' brow was furrowed. "I can assure you that you were not the only one who suffered all this time. I just thought that you would have moved on by now."

I moved a bit on the floor and wrapped my arms around Holmes to pull him in for an embrace. Holmes' arms were around my back now.

"Never." I swallowed hard. "I could never. Why would I even be here at Baker Street right now? I used to come here so many times a month, sometimes even daily, hoping you would come out of nowhere in front of me. I'm aware this was rather lunatic on my part. I could not help myself."

"You cannot imagine how many times I made up my mind and almost sent you a letter to inform you about my whereabouts. That would have been seriously lunatic of me, given how the situation related to Moriarty's network was at that time."

I gently held his head in my hand and pulled him closer. "You did not have to go through all that alone. I was right there with you that day. I always will be there with you."

"I know that, and I trust you deeply. I would never have forgiven myself, though, if something had happened to you because of me, or because of you being with me. I had to be alone."

I was not satisfied with his answer, but I decided to let it go for now.

We kept holding each other like this for a long moment.

"I am sorry."

I nodded in my reply. "How did you do it? There was no escape from the Reichenbach falls."

"I am exhausted right now, dear fellow. May I tell you about it later? I shall tell you the complete facts of the incidents over dinner."

My heart fluttered with joy at the sound of dinner together. I smiled and nodded as I let him go. "Promise me that you shall never leave me again."

Holmes took my hand in his own. "I will never leave you again. Now it's your turn to promise me something."

"What is it?" I asked, getting up from the floor to stand straight. Holmes did the same, and we were now facing each other.

"Move back in." His grey eyes were filled with hope.

"I will." His wish was my command. Always.

Holmes turned around and went to his old bedchamber.

I waited for him to disappear, and then I walked across the sitting room to look out of the window -- thinking about new beginnings with a broad smile on my face.

My parents have a cat who's allergic to showing emotion. She'll cuddle under controlled circumstances, but you can't look while she settles in or she gets embarrassed, and if someone else comes into the room she'll jerk away like she's been caught scratching up furniture. So one time I was having a horrid day, physically hurt and sobbing, and the poor dear was very disconcerted. In the end she came over and sort of … walked circles around me? Didn't meow or cuddle just. paced in circles. She was trying so hard to help and didn't have the faintest idea how, and I love her forever.

1954 Holmes' response to Watson being hurt in Belligerent Ghost always reminds me of that a bit <3 He's not averse to showing affection (though he does withdraw in certain intense moments), but he's trying so hard to help and doesn't seem quite able to decide his approach? He responds instantly when he sees Watson has been punched, but once he's got his chemistry bottles deposited on the desk he's kind of going. I'm helping I'm going to help! By … doing an awkward half squat and hovering four inches from his face … ?

Oh phew he's asked for brandy, that's A Task, I can do A Task! Now right, chairs are a thing! Staying four inches from his face though, proximity is comforting I think probably? Now, activating appropriate response to hurt friend by. um. solving the case of who punched him? Oh god has he lost it?? Oh thank fuck there IS a case! I'll make him feel better by giving him a little adventure and solving the mystery. Nailed it 😎

John Watson saying you join me and my companion/colleague/friend/flat mate while the only thing I can think of is oh please cut the bullshit.

Companion is already the gayest word in existence and yet you want to salvage yourself by flat mate in a desperate try of not using roommate which is actually nothing more than just the second gayest word in existence and you and I both know it.

Who do you think you’re fooling John, my beloved sweet summer child, only yourself I’m afraid.
