#johncroft fanfic

[aosspones]

welcome back to my johncroft rantings <3 ok so what if one time john doesn’t get in the car sent for him by mycroft. the car stops next to him on the street, a man steps out and opens the door for him and john is like. “hmm nope i dont think so.” and leaves. of course the telephone rings in every booth he passes by and he ignores them for a while before finally picking up one of them, and immediately opens with, “sorry mycroft but the babysitter leaves in 10 minutes, if u wanna talk you’ll have to come to my place, and we’ll chat before rosie wakes up from her afternoon nap, see u in thirty, i’ll put on tea,” and mycroft on the other end is like. bitch.

so john continues on his way home and when he arrives of course mycroft is already there, with a sour look on his face, cause how dare anybody order me around, and, because it’s more romantic that way, it’s raining, and it’s That Scene from a scandal in belgravia all over again except this time john joins him under his umbrella and mycroft acts like he’s offended.

once inside, john says goodbye to the babysitter and picks up rosie, because of course she isn’t sleeping, she woke up too soon, so john rocks her in his arms while mycroft sits at the kitchen table and tries to tell him about that Very Important Business he came here to discuss. rosie falls asleep but john can’t put her down without waking her, so he gives her to mycroft — and mycroft has never in his life held a baby in his arms so he kinda Freaks Out, says, “well, what am i supposed to do with it??” “jesus, just hold her, mycroft, while i make some tea.” and mycroft goes on about the Thing They Needed to Discuss, sitting stock-still, trying not to wake The Baby. he only relaxes after a while, and even after john finishes making the tea and sits down none of them make a move to exchange the baby between them, so rosie just. remains in mycroft’s lap. after they’re done talking business, mycroft is ready to leave, but john says, “you haven’t even touched ur tea,” and mycroft’s like, “well my hands are rather occupied, aren’t they,” so john finally takes rosie, and mycroft takes one (1) sip of tea before leaving...

It seems like for some of your anons that Michael cant interact with anyone without them thinking Michael will hook up with them. Michael/Kyle were not romantic at all. Its like no one heard of platonic relationships. Or think bisexuals will hook up with anyone. Which is biphobic.

Yeah I think there’s a huge difference between

1) having beloved characters and shipping that person with everyone because you think there is chemistry or it would be hot (for example Captain Daddy immediately became a thing after Alex and Ramos interacted, for example and I totally get why).

Versus

2) genuinely thinking there is something there or something deliberately being written into the show when it makes literally no sense. Rnm is not subtle about their romances. And as much as people may love the chemistry, the show isn’t writing romantic/sexual guerenti, kylex, maribel, valevans, etc, even though tons of people love those ship dynamics, and for good reason. That’s a fandom thing- which is great! Like it’s literally such a big historic part of fandom. But more often than not the past several years every time someone ships something they think it’s either going to be canon or should be when some things are just meant to be good old-fashioned fanon.

I wouldn’t call it biphobic at all 😂 sometimes people just think ships are hot. And it’s not like Michael is the only fandom bicycle.

[gimmepromptsplz]

Yooooo I'm calling shippers I want McPronpt Bois. Wanna try giving me one 😳

Fic Master List

I thought it was time to update my fic master list, because I’ve added a few fics and also because I think I’m really going to need to do comissions (it seems I understimated how much graduating was going to cost. Why are there so many fees, honestly?)

So, without further ado, enjoy!

Long term complications of arranged marriages

Myjohnlock, complete, 78800 words.

Summary: Originally, Mummy Holmes wanted to arrange a marriage for her younger son, not wanting him to be lonely. When Sherlock refused, Mycroft agreed to step in, which ended up with him marrying John Watson. Things worked well between them- until John met his brother-in-law.

Some personal notes on it: My first work for the fandom and I’m so ridiculously proud of it. I never actually intended for it to end the way it did, but boy was it a fun ride!

Additional notes: quite a lot of angst/hurt, conflicted feelings, more or less canon compliant. Ends more hopeful than happy.

Burned hearts

Johnlock, complete, 7300 words.

Summary: A retell from the scene at the pool in TGG, in which John is never revealed to be Moriarty’s hostage. Believing himself fooled, Sherlock goes through a bit of a meltdown.

Some personal notes on it: this idea came to me when I first watched TGG. I think that I could have expanded it so much more and make it even more angsty but well… I still like it.

Additional notes: angst, lots of self doubt, Sherlock doesn’t cope well, Mycroft and Greg are very concerned.

Pointless thoughts

Mystrade & Johnlock. First work of series, 10 works in the series, 102800 words overall. Complete.

Summary: Crown Prince Mycroft knows better than to show his affection for a man beneath his station. Sherlock is not quite as lucky and when the King finds out about his friendship with John, the later is sent away to his certain death. Devastated, the younger Prince awaits for death- until he finds he has something left to fight for and Mycroft finds himself fighting to protect his brother’s secret (and later his own)

Some personal notes: Pseudo historical settings are a weakness of mine. I was very pump up to work on this series and I enjoyed every second of it. Also, writing a whole fic from Mycroft’s POV was quite the experience (the main fic runs from his POV, the rest of the works run from Greg’s, Sherlock’s and John’s)

Additional notes: Royal AU, A/B/O dynamics, Mpreg and angst. Also a ridiculous amount of pining. Warnings for some dubcon in some of the works and a bit of Sheriarty.

Crush

Johncroft & Sherstrade, complete, 20000 words.

Summary: Sherlock has been nursing a crush on DI Greg Lestrade since they met. Of course the poor man has no clue whatsoever and somehow his newest friend, John Watson is stuck with the task of helping him win the other man over, all while attempting to deal with his own crush on the older Holmes.

Some personal notes: I started working on this in an attempt to get myself to work on the continuation of “Long term complications of arranged marriages”. Also, an attempt of humor, although I’m not sure how well it worked out.

Additional notes: attempted humor, silly situations, bit of rom com and perhaps a tad of angst here and there. Sort of canon compliant (if you ignore S3)

Apples and Oranges

Johnlock, complete, 600 words.

Summary: Kid Sherlock is attempting to figure out why would people like kissing. John helps.

Some personal notes: this was a fill in of a tumblr prompt. Just some kidlock fluff.

Additional notes: AU, kidlock, fluff.

Unexpected

Johnlock (side Mystrade and Irene/Kate), complete, 27600 words.

Summary: After a one night stand with his best friend, John is determined not to let things change between them. Except he’s now expecting a baby and finds himself in a bit of a mess.

Some personal notes: I mean- it’s the cliché of the clichés. Very rom com, but well… I enjoyed working on it very much.

Additional notes: A/B/O dynamics, Mpreg, attempted humor, rom com, misunderstandings, unplanned pregnancy, angst.

Unforeseen

Mystrade (side Johnlock), complete, 11500 words.

Summary: Mycroft’s family is convinced he and Greg would make a wonderful couple. Greg is willing, but Mycroft refuses to see sense.

Some personal notes: belongs in series with “Unexpected”, but it can pretty much stand on its own. A continuation of sorts, although the focus is definitely Greg’s and Mycroft’s relationship.

Additional notes: A/B/O dynamics, misunderstandings, humor & angst.

Long shot

Johnlock, complete, 44200 words.

Summary: Omega werewolf Sherlock is engaged to human Prince John, after having scared off his last suitor. It seems it might work out for the best though- at least until the Dark and Immortal wizard Moriarty rises again.

Some personal notes: when I write original fiction, I tend towards fantasy with a mix of romance. Indulging in my love for both genres was a joy. Also, this is my work with most kudos, so I guess it shows ;)

Additional notes: A/B/O dynamics, Mpreg, arranged marriage, angst, pining, misunderstandings, Jim being Jim (he’s the perfect fairytale villain, honestly)

Wildest dreams

Johnlock (although victorian), complete, 3800 words.

Summary: Watson puts an end to his relationship with Holmes, in order to marry Mary Morstan.

Some personal notes: have I told you how I love Taylor Swift’s songs? I had been trying to avoid writing this particular fic because I worried about my abilities to write something with such a strict historical setting, but I should probably have stopped listening to the song because it soon became too much :P

Additional notes: victorian (but a bit loosely I think), angst, pining, unhealthy coping mechanisms… HAPPY ENDING

Mistaken impressions

Johnlock, WIP (on hiatus?)

Summary: John is convinced his neighbor’s boyfriend is a jerk. He sort of is, but he’s actually Sherlock’s brother.

Some personal notes: I liked this idea, but as I started writing… I lost my way a bit. So now I’m a bit stuck with is, since I have no idea where exactly I want to go with it.

Additional notes: references to past abusive relationships, past drug addiction, unhealthy coping mechanisms, angst, drama, pining, MISUNDERSTANDINGS and some attempts of humor.

Hopeless

Johnlock, complete, 45800 words.

Summary: John’s a slave in Lord Magnussen’s household. When a new slave arrives and the Master takes a fancy on her (although it’s really him), John finds himself doing the best he can to protect him.

Some personal notes: this idea came to me in a dream. Which is why it’s far darker than my usual writings and also the reason for Trans Sherlock. I don’t like fighting my inspiration and well… I went with it, even if it added another layer of complications to this particular fic.

Additional notes: trans character, misgendering, implied/referenced noncon (although there’s nothing explicit), underage (it’s never explicitly stated, but Sherlock is 14 when the fic starts), slavery, sexual slavery, very dark, very angsty, mentions of violence, murder and abuse. I intend for it to have a happy/hopeful ending, though!

Home for Christmas

Johnlock, complete, 8500 words.

Summary: When Mycroft Holmes informs his family he’s bringing along a friend for Christmas, the household is thrown into utter chaos: Mummy Holmes is delighted, of course and Mr. Holmes is just baffled. Sherlock, however, is determined to figure out what is his brother up to. Mycroft doesn’t do friendships, let alone relationships, so who is this mysterious Dr. John H. Watson and what’s his business with his brother?

Some personal notes: this is the actual summary on AO3, but I really don’t know a better way to describe it ;) I think my attempt of humor did work here, even if it ended up including a bit of angst (but not much)

Additional notes: Alternate First Meeting, humor, Christmas fic, misunderstandings (of a sort), family.

Black magic

Johnlock, complete, 7400 words.

Summary: John ends up with a magic love potion (he was drunk, don’t judge him!) and in a fit of desperate longing, he gives it to Sherlock. He didn’t expect it to work since magic does not exist, so he’s a little baffled when Sherlock starts acting weirdly.

Some personal notes: this was the first fic I meant to write for the fandom. I never got around finishing until now, when I figured I might as well give it another try. I think it could have been longer, but I had no idea what else to write :P

Additional notes: attempt of humor, magic, a surprising amount of discussion of consent issues, not actually unrequited love.

Lessons in romance

Mystrade & Johnlock, WIP.

Summary: Sherlock may or may not be stalking the boy he likes. Mycroft has no wisdom to share with his little brother on the subject of romance and Greg is not help at all.

Some personal notes: I got inspired to write this after listening to a song in spanish called “Rey Azul”. I’ve always wanted to write a teenlock and I adore writing the Holmes brothers as being completely oblivious on the subject of romance. Somehow, it turned angstier than I expected

Additional notes: humor (at first), teenlock, heartbreak, jealousy, pining.

All is fair (in love and war)

Johnlock, complete, 6300 words.

Summary: Eurus’ “game” forces John and Sherlock to confess long hidden feelings. It turns out as well as you’d expect.

Some personal notes: It started as a rewrite of the “I love you” scene in TFP, turned into a sort of fix it fic. I like it, even if I’m not completely sure the logic holds :P

Additional notes: angst, drama, hurt without comfort, but has a happy ending!

Priceless   

Johnlock, WIP.

Summary: Sherlock is a Prince with a Kingdom at war. He makes a deal with the all powerful wizard called “the Dark One”; the wizard will stop the war if Sherlock stays with him forever.

Some personal notes: this fic is result of the FandomTrumpsHate auction, for the lovely @sherlock-and-john-getting-it-on​. I was asked for a “Beauty and the Beast” inspired fic with John as the Beast. I asked for the chance to use the Once Upon a Time spin of the tale and this is the result.

Additional notes: magical AU, pining, misunderstandings (they’re both so silly it hurts!), includes my attempt of some proper smut, Jim wrote himself into it and in doing that provided me with an ending :P

Of love, madness and other powerful motivators

Some background Johnlock, Warstan, but relationships aren’t the focus. WIP.

Summary: Jim shoots himself at Bart’s ceiling and Sherlock jumps to save the people he loves (read John Watson); what he doesn’t know it’s that there are other forces at play and revenge is a dish best served cold. Jim’s game turn has ended, but Eurus’ is just beginning.

Some personal notes: after reading many wonderful posts after the S4 finale, one point that really stuck me was about badly written female characters. It made me realize I don’t write that many female characters either and I don’t know if I’m any good at it so… this was born. Running with the idea that Mary worked for Jim, and (in this fic at least) by extension, Eurus.

Additional notes: angst, complicated relationships, mixed feelings, Eurus is actually out for revenge, imagining a whole alternate line for S4.

Saving all my love for you

Johnlock, WIP.

Summary: Unrequited love is no fun.

Some personal notes: I just wanted to write something angsty, heart tugging. There isn’t much plot, really, just a lot of pining and self reflection.

Additional notes: based on the song by the same title,angst, pining, sad, unilock.

And that’s it (for now!) I hope you’ll enjoy them ;)

Fics I Read & Loved: Mar. 2019 Edition

February’s list, a LOT of Johnlock and Mystrade, is here. 

I spent a lot of time focusing on multiple fics of my own creation, so I didn’t read quite as much this month, but the 2018 portion of the list is extensive and super enjoyable. This part is all Johnlock and Mystrade.

Wars We Fought, Things We’re Not by blueink3. Johnlock. Mature. 55,235 words. Fake relationship, mutual pining, sexual tension, slow burn, an adorable orphan... Catch your attention, yet? 

Hope by sandwastesinthevoidofmychest. Mystrade. Teen. 5,222 words. My heart died reading this one, though it did restart. Mycroft suffers an acid attack, and retreats from public scrutiny.

 The Night Riviera from Paddington to Penzance and Back Again by Iwantthatcoat. Johnlock. Mature. 12,918 words. Mrs. Hudson books them on a train vacation. This is a great story involving the Tregennis case, and I love the characterizations of John and Sherlock. 

The Tenth Muse by Vulpesmellifera. Mystrade. Explicit. 25,365 words. Post-Reichenbach, magical realism, diverges from canon, and includes a side of Johnlock. Mycroft doesn’t deduce like Sherlock - he sees things. Creepy things. 

Woes of the Pharynx by Vulpesmellifera. Mystrade. Gen. 844 words. An ailing Mycroft gets a little TLC from his detective inspector. Humorous ficlet. Promise it’ll make you smile!

Out of the Ashes by wendymarlowe. Mystrade. Explicit. 34,679 words. I came across this one while writing The Tenth Muse, so I waited to read it until my own was done, as they both tell a tale of post-Reichenbach Mystrade. And I loved it! It also includes some casefic.

We are all together alone by Mildredandbobbin. Johnlock. Mature. 10,461 words. So much, so much pining. John is back at 221B. All the pining.

The Sheltering Tree by Mottlemoth. Mystrade. Explicit. 89,113 words. I think this is the sweetest story Mottlemoth has written so far. I just adored it. 

Cypher by roane. Johnlock. Mature. 2,438 words. Comic-inspired short fic. Sherlock is losing it over a failed case, and John is the one to suffer. Things get angsty, but John can help make things right again.

Whisper to Me by chrysanthemumsies. Johnlock. Teen. 20,598 words. This story makes me ache. Sherlock starts playing the guitar. John’s struggling with his own sense of homophobia, and learning to be comfortable loving Sherlock in the open. It’s wonderful.

Only For You by Mssmithlove. Johnlock. Explicit. 11,015 words. John’s a promiscuous teen having his last summer before going to uni. Then a new kid flips his world upside down.

Darlin’ by Mottlemoth. Mystrade. Teen. 2,295 words. Mycroft is injured, and when he wakes in the hospital, he finds out that he’s married to Greg Lestrade. 

Soul Mate by Mottlemoth. Mystrade. Teen. 4,068 words. Remember up above when I said The Sheltering Tree was the sweetest thing Mottlemoth ever wrote? I was wrong. It’s this soulmates AU. Or it might be the story right above this one, Darlin’. I don’t know. Just be prepared for all the sweetness.

And now begins the March 2018 section of the list. Apparently, I started exploring certain rare pairs, along with my continuing discovery of Johnlock and Mystrade favorites. Even if these rare pairs aren’t your thing, some of these stories are quite good and worth reading for the tale.

The Gilded Cage by BeautifulFiction. Johnlock. Explicit. 326,887 words. I don’t read a lot of Omegaverse. But if I really like an author’s work and they have an omegaverse fic, or if I see one get recommended over and over, I’ll check it out. I really enjoyed the social revolutionary aspect of this fic, along with the growing relationship between John and Sherlock while navigating some legal and social battles.

Consolation by Mildredandbobbin. Sherstrade. Explicit. 18,066 words. This fantastic tale is probably my favorite Sherstrade. Greg starts having sex with a pining Sherlock who has just watched the object of his affections - John - get married. Lovely, lovely story.

Evening Ride by LapisLazuli. Johnlock. Explicit. 8,632 words. If you’re into public sex and kinky frottage with a stranger, this one does it very well.

Boyfriend Material by PoppyAlexander. Johnlock. Explicit. 151,282 words. The only sport I enjoy is ice hockey, and this wonderful story combines that with Johnlock! I’ve reread it several times.

The Science of Seduction by flawedamythyst. Johnlock. Mature. 25,279 words. Sherlock runs a website all about seduction, and is shagged just about every gay man in London. John is his best friend, and they’ve never shagged. John tries not to be upset about it. What he and Sherlock have is special. And that’ll have to be enough. Right?

At Dawn They Sleep by LapisLazuli. Johnlock. Explicit. 21,109 words. Vamp!lock. Things go very differently at the pool scene.

In, Mates by WastingYourGum. Johnstrade. Explicit. 17,834 words. Greg and John are inside a prison when the inmates break out. As they work on escaping, certain things come to light. Great story.

echoes through time by chellefic. Johnlock. Explicit. 21,619 words. A trunk is sent to 221B from Mummy, and it changes everything.

Lacuna by coloredink. Johnlock. Explicit. 15,607 words. John gets amnesia, and Sherlock is Not Good. So cringey. So good.

Out of Orbit by Sparkle_Free. Johncroft. Explicit. 11,642 words. A Victorian AU. Watson discovers he’s attracted to a man - Holmes the elder. It’s illegal and immoral, but he can’t help himself.

Promise to the Living by deklava. Johncroft. Mature. 28,769 words. Mycroft fulfills his promise to Sherlock to care for John in his absence, Post-Reichenbach angst. Good story.

We Meet Up Every Friday for Fish and Chips by queensusan. Johncroft. Explicit. 11,012 words. Great little post-Reichenbach story, with feels and banter.

He’s Stronger Than You Know by Iolfre. Sherstrade. Mature. 9,206 words. If anything, I wish this were longer. Touchingly sweet story on Sherlock enticing Greg into a relationship, despite Greg’s fears and triggers. TW for past child abuse.

Disease that we crave by scap3goat (kriegswaffle). Johncroft w/ a side of Sherstrade. Explicit. 61,705 words. John didn’t realize he was dating Mycroft, until one day he did. 

Into the Fire by Saziikins. Sherstrade. Explicit. 19,506 words. Saziikins is a wonderful writer, and I love her Sherstrade. After Moriarty asks ‘did you miss me?’ Greg and Sherlock end up spending a lot of time together.

[kriegswaffel]

Okay, so I'm very, very desperate, please hear me out:

I'm absolutely lost in BBC Sherlock Johncroft again. I made the mistake to run into my WIP folder a few weeks back, decided to "just" do a rewrite of my finished slow burn.

Read some fanfic and immediately had three more bunnies.

Ended up on the kink meme on dreamwidth. Spent the night flashing out some serious woobie-whumps.

So, if you're legit old enough to read steamy stuff and

the phrase "They spy on people for money" means to you that an Army Doctor fell in love,

their wedding dance will take place to that 'emotional damage' clip, but there will be a wedding dance and there will be no (ok, little) drama or demonising of possible previous spouses,

you don't have a problem with bad and dark things happening to good people, better even encourage it to incite comfort, sometimes

and can deal with sometimes way too accurate medical descriptions of injuries and such

and embrace general LGBTQIA+ themes, not just cis-gay pwp,

and you would like to receive gratuitous fic-clips to help me nitpick the parts where my brain won't go on...

maybe... talk to me? IDK, my brain's currently running itself into the ground Granada!Holmes style...

[a-fools-jester]

Encouraging words mean a lot

Shout-out to all you people who say "good job, I love this, it's amazing!" when you see someone's art even if it's not perfect and you know it Shout-out to all of you who give kudos and praise when you read someone's stories and poems even if it had grammar mistakes and misspelled words Shout-out to everyone who encourages creativity and tries to keep people's dreams alive instead of shooting them down! You go, point for you, mate. You're the lighthouse for dreamers who have their dreams but need motivation and encouragement to make it happen. You are important to us creative souls, and you are extremely valuable to us. You're the reason we manage to overcome our insecurities about sharing our work and help us get better. If we never started out at level one, we'd never reach level fifty, and honestly you are the ones who help us get there.

Self Promotion Rec List !!　　[part two]　

Our SRP community has some incredibly talented people, and it’s time we gave them the love they deserve for all their hard work!

⬡　sanguisuga

Mystrade is my biggie, but I have Johncroft, Johncroftstrade, Johnstrade, Sherstrade, Johnstradelock, Johnstradelockcroft, Holmescest, Hartcroft and Greggsy. The Greggsy is probably the rarest.

⬡　eloquated

Mostly Mylock/Holmescest and Sherlolly, with a healthy squiggle of Gen and a dash of Mystrade and other things!

⬡　MissDavis

My first love in the Sherlock fandom is Johnlockary and it’s still my favorite. Here is the link to my Johnlockary fics on AO3.

⬡　lord-of-nerdy-art

My blog is an art blog. I specialise in pictures that transform when you click them (it’s difficult to explain). My main ship is Sheriarty and I also do crossover related stuff (usually wholock).

⬡　sunken-standard

I really don't do a lot of self-promotion, but I started off from the early days with rare pairs (John/ Molly, Sherlock/ Victor, then eventually Sherlock/ Molly and even a little Molly/ Mary and Sherlock/ Janine).

⬡　EmmaSpencer

Hi! I'm a dedicated Mystrade fanfic wirter. I haven't verntured to other ships so far. But I have a few Mystrade in Hogwarts fics. 

⬡　Lavender_and_Vanilla

Mystrade is the ship I write by default.

[crimeblogger]

SHIPPING INFO // Answer the following for your muse(s) so people know how shipping works on your blog. REPOST. Don’t reblog.

What’s your OTP for your Muse?: It’s most definitely Warstan and Johnlock, and has been since I started writing John back in 2012 (on another website). Having said that, I’m extremely particular about the Sherlocks and Marys I write with, just because I have such a clear idea of what their dynamic is like, and what Sherlock and Mary are like. As with any other ships, the chemistry has to be there. So not every Sherlock and Mary will do. But I think that counts for any writing that’s done on this website, no? You have to Feel It in order for it to work.

What are you willing to RP when it comes to shipping?:  The people I ship hard with tend to also be people I am comfortable with on an ooc level. So I’m willing to do just about anything, provided it’s been discussed with my partner and both parties feel comfortable with it. And suitably inspired/motivated to write it out, of course.

How large does the age gap have to be to make it uncomfortable?:   Oh heck. Um. I think the biggest age gap I have at the moment is with Katy’s Mar @brightflight, which is, like... 17 years apart? 18 years? I mean, John’s age ranges from late thirties to 43 by the end of series 4, and Tumblr isn’t exactly the best at having diversity when it comes to age, so, yeah. Anyway, to answer the question, it depends on the other mun and muse, really. Obviously, underage is a massive nope. Other than that, well, my muse is a flirtateous dog. Shrugs. What can you do.

Are you selective when shipping?: Yes. Though I will say I am willing to have a go at things, but I tend to know pretty quickly if the chemistry is there or not.

How far do steamy moments have to go before they’re considered NS.FW?:  Anything beyond kissing with John tends to get pretty nsfw pretty fast. His thoughts and emotional responses can be as graphic as his physical ones, and he’s not shy, so. Yeah.

Who are other muses you ship your muse with?: From the show, that’d be Mary Morstan, Sherlock Holmes, Mycroft Holmes and Molly Hooper. Sometimes Jim, but I’m impossibly selective with that particular ship. Established and non-BBC Sherlock ships I’ve come to adore through this website are with the following muses: Margaux Hawke @brightflight, Francis Dolarhyde @thisbecoming, Wanda Maximoff @witcheswrath. And then there’s a few muses John may get shippy with in the future, but let’s see.

Does one have to ask to ship with you?: No, mostly because it won’t work. I can’t “turn on” the shipping mindset because someone asks. It either works, or it doesn’t. Chemistry, and all that. If anything, asking to ship with me will have the opposite effect and make me less likely to want it. I’m sort of a jerk that way.

How often do you like to ship?: Shipping frequency isn’t exactly something I measure... Again, it either happens or it doesn’t. 

Are you multiship?:  Yup.

Are you ship obsessed or ship more-or-less?: I don’t need ships, if that’s the question. In my five years of writing John I’ve had ships come and go, and they’ve all been lovely and added something to my development of John (and me as a writer). But I am quite devoted to the ships I do have.

What is your favorite ship in your current fandom?: Anyone who has been paying attention of late knows I’ve been bitten by the Johncroft virus, which hasn’t really happened since 2013, which was the last time that particular ship took over my life. And that was just in fanfic. So imagine the utter ruin that is me at now getting to write out this ship. I am! Completely! Destroyed!

Finally, how does one ship with you?:  Write your muse the way you want to. If we’re meant to have chemistry, it will be there, and it will be wonderful. Other than that, there’s really no set course on how to ship with me.

THE RULE: Post the last sentence you wrote (fanfic/original/anything!) and tag as many people as there are words in the sentence. I saw it on @lbmisscharlie‘s tumblr, and I also hate tagging, so do it if you wanna. 

This is from my FTH fic that I’m way effing overdue on. It’s Johncroft, younger days. 

“Thank fuck for boot camp,”  Mycroft muttered, loosening his tie.

Long term complications of arranged marriages is five kudos away from 500!!

So, I was checking my stats on AO3 and I noticed this. This was, in fact, my first work for the Sherlock fandom and while re reading it I notice some mistakes and I think my style has evolved over the last 3 years, it’s still quite the milestone, isn’t it?

So, if you’re interested, here’s the link

Pairings: Mycroft Holmes/John Watson, Sherlock Holmes/John Watson, Mycroft Holmes/John Watson/Sherlock Holmes

Summary:  None of them could have predicted how this whole arranged marriage affair would work. Developing feelings for your brother-in-law is most certainly a bad idea.

It’s a bit angsty (or a lot, I suppose) and it ran away from me because the ending was never my intention, but it was a lot of fun anyway ;)

Master fic list (rare pairs)

So, I wanted to update my fic master list, but it’s gotten ridiculously long (I’ve written 39 sherlock fics and counting), so I decided to break it down by pairings, to keep it slightly simplier. I think I’m going to start with the rare pairings because those are the fewer :P

Enjoy!

Long term complications of arranged marriages

Myjohnlock, complete, 78800 words.

Summary: Originally, Mummy Holmes wanted to arrange a marriage for her younger son, not wanting him to be lonely. When Sherlock refused, Mycroft agreed to step in, which ended up with him marrying John Watson. Things worked well between them- until John met his brother-in-law.

Some personal notes on it: My first work for the fandom and I’m so ridiculously proud of it. I never actually intended for it to end the way it did, but boy was it a fun ride!

Additional notes: quite a lot of angst/hurt, conflicted feelings, more or less canon compliant. Ends more hopeful than happy.

Crush

Johncroft & Sherstrade, complete, 20000 words.

Summary: Sherlock has been nursing a crush on DI Greg Lestrade since they met. Of course the poor man has no clue whatsoever and somehow his newest friend, John Watson is stuck with the task of helping him win the other man over, all while attempting to deal with his own crush on the older Holmes.

Some personal notes: I started working on this in an attempt to get myself to work on the continuation of “Long term complications of arranged marriages”. Also, an attempt of humor, although I’m not sure how well it worked out.

Additional notes: attempted humor, silly situations, bit of rom com and perhaps a tad of angst here and there. Sort of canon compliant (if you ignore S3)

Baby, don't call me your friend

Mollrene, side Johnlock, on hiatus.

Summary: Irene watches John and Sherlock dance around each other while she avoids thinking of her own crush on her friend Molly.

Some personal notes: Another idea that came to me through music… I like it, but I’m not quite sure where it is going :P

Additional notes: alternate universe-high school, jealousy, pining, humor.

There’s always time for love (even at the end of the world)

Johnlock (1st chapter), Mollrene (2nd chapter), complete, 3700 words

Summary: In the middle of a Zombie Apocalypse, John and Sherlock run into Dr. Irene Adler while on a supply run.

Some personal notes: My daughter ADORES zombie movies, which translates on me having watched almost every single one on netflix’s catalogue. So of course inspiration struck.

Additional notes: alternate universe-zombie apocalypse, referenced past character death (that’s one hell of a downside with zombie apocalypses), jealousy, romance

Extra hours

Salthea, side Mystrade, complete, 5900 words

Summary: Sally & Anthea work entirely too much, since their bosses are workaholics. But then they met and things work out for everyone.

Some personal notes: this is vaguely inspired on the movie “set it up”, except I haven’t actually watched it, so it’s based on the trailer :P I just liked the idea too much and had to write it.

Additional notes: rom com, not a single hint of angst here, silly, fluffy, alternate universe- different professions.

I hope you’ll enjoy them! Kudos & comments mean the world to me.

And if you can, maybe Buy Me a Coffee

My other lists are here: johnlock, johnlock & mystrade, mystrade

[ylc1]

Fanfic Master List

Time to update my Master List once more! I do write a lot and inspiration insists on stricking me regardless of how many WIPs I have so… well.

Without further ado, enjoy!

Long term complications of arranged marriages

Myjohnlock, complete, 78800 words.

Summary: Originally, Mummy Holmes wanted to arrange a marriage for her younger son, not wanting him to be lonely. When Sherlock refused, Mycroft agreed to step in, which ended up with him marrying John Watson. Things worked well between them- until John met his brother-in-law.

Some personal notes on it: My first work for the fandom and I’m so ridiculously proud of it. I never actually intended for it to end the way it did, but boy was it a fun ride!

Additional notes: quite a lot of angst/hurt, conflicted feelings, more or less canon compliant. Ends more hopeful than happy.

Burned hearts

Johnlock, complete, 7300 words.

Summary: A retell from the scene at the pool in TGG, in which John is never revealed to be Moriarty’s hostage. Believing himself fooled, Sherlock goes through a bit of a meltdown.

Some personal notes on it: this idea came to me when I first watched TGG. I think that I could have expanded it so much more and make it even more angsty but well… I still like it.

Additional notes: angst, lots of self doubt, Sherlock doesn’t cope well, Mycroft and Greg are very concerned.

Pointless thoughts

Mystrade & Johnlock. First work of series, 10 works in the series, 102800 words overall. Complete.

Summary: Crown Prince Mycroft knows better than to show his affection for a man beneath his station. Sherlock is not quite as lucky and when the King finds out about his friendship with John, the later is sent away to his certain death. Devastated, the younger Prince awaits for death- until he finds he has something left to fight for and Mycroft finds himself fighting to protect his brother’s secret (and later his own)

Some personal notes: Pseudo historical settings are a weakness of mine. I was very pump up to work on these series and I enjoyed every second of it. Also, writing a whole fic from Mycroft’s POV was quite the experience (the main fic runs from his POV, the rest of the works run from Greg’s, Sherlock’s and John’s)

Additional notes: Royal AU, A/B/O dynamics, Mpreg and angst. Also a ridiculous amount of pining. Warnings for some dubcon in some of the works and a bit of Sheriarty.

Crush

Johncroft & Sherstrade, complete, 20000 words.

Summary: Sherlock has been nursing a crush on DI Greg Lestrade since they met. Of course the poor man has no clue whatsoever and somehow his newest friend, John Watson is stuck with the task of helping him win the other man over, all while attempting to deal with his own crush on the older Holmes.

Some personal notes: I started working on this in an attempt to get myself to work on the continuation of “Long term complications of arranged marriages”. Also, an attempt of humor, although I’m not sure how well it worked out.

Additional notes: attempted humor, silly situations, bit of rom com and perhaps a tad of angst here and there. Sort of canon compliant (if you ignore S3)

Apples and Oranges

Johnlock, complete, 600 words.

Summary: Kid Sherlock is attempting to figure out why would people like kissing. John helps.

Some personal notes: this was a fill in for a tumblr prompt. Just some kidlock fluff.

Additional notes: AU, kidlock, fluff.

Unexpected

Johnlock (side Mystrade and Irene/Kate), complete, 27600 words.

Summary: After a one night stand with his best friend, John is determined not to let things change between them. Except he’s now expecting a baby and finds himself in a bit of a mess.

Some personal notes: I mean- it’s the cliché of the clichés. Very rom com, but well… I enjoyed working on it very much.

Additional notes: A/B/O dynamics, Mpreg, attempted humor, rom com, misunderstandings, unplanned pregnancy, angst.

Unforeseen

Mystrade (side Johnlock), complete, 11500 words.

Summary: Mycroft’s family is convinced he and Greg would make a wonderful couple. Greg is willing, but Mycroft refuses to see sense.

Some personal notes: belongs in series with “Unexpected”, but it can pretty much stand on its own. A continuation of sorts, although the focus is definitely Greg’s and Mycroft’s relationship.

Additional notes: A/B/O dynamics, misunderstandings, humor & angst.

Long shot

Johnlock, complete, 44200 words.

Summary: Omega werewolf Sherlock is engaged to human Prince John, after having scared off his last suitor. It seems it might work out for the best though- at least until the Dark and Immortal Wizard Moriarty rises again.

Some personal notes: when I write original fiction, I tend towards fantasy with a mix of romance. Indulging in my love for both genres was a joy. Also, this was my work with most kudos for a long while, so I guess it shows ;)

Additional notes: A/B/O dynamics, Mpreg, arranged marriage, angst, pining, misunderstandings, Jim being Jim (he’s the perfect fairytale villain, honestly)

Wildest dreams

Johnlock (although victorian), complete, 3800 words.

Summary: Watson puts an end to his relationship with Holmes, in order to marry Mary Morstan.

Some personal notes: have I told you how I love Taylor Swift’s songs? I had been trying to avoid writing this particular fic because I worried about my abilities to write something with such a strict historical setting, but I should probably have stopped listening to the song because it soon became too much :P

Additional notes: victorian (but a bit loosely I think), angst, pining, unhealthy coping mechanisms… HAPPY ENDING

Mistaken impressions

Johnlock, WIP (on hiatus?)

Summary: John is convinced his neighbor’s boyfriend is a jerk. He sort of is, but he’s actually Sherlock’s brother.

Some personal notes: I liked this idea, but as I started writing… I lost my way a bit. So now I’m a bit stuck with is, since I have no idea where exactly I want to go with it.

Additional notes: references to past abusive relationships, past drug addiction, unhealthy coping mechanisms, angst, drama, pining, MISUNDERSTANDINGS and some attempts of humor.

Hopeless

Johnlock, complete, 45800 words.

Summary: John’s a slave in Lord Magnussen’s household. When a new slave arrives and the Master takes a fancy on her (although it’s really him), John finds himself doing the best he can to protect him.

Some personal notes: this idea came to me in a dream. Which is why it’s far darker than my usual writings and also the reason for Trans Sherlock. I don’t like fighting my inspiration and well… I went with it, even if it added another layer of complications to this particular fic.

Additional notes: trans character, misgendering, implied/referenced noncon (although there’s nothing explicit), underage (it’s never explicitly stated, but Sherlock is 14 when the fic starts), slavery, sexual slavery, very dark, very angsty, mentions of violence, murder and abuse. It has a happy/hopeful ending, though!

Home for Christmas

Johnlock, complete, 8500 words.

Summary: When Mycroft Holmes informs his family he’s bringing along a friend for Christmas, the household is thrown into utter chaos: Mummy Holmes is delighted, of course and Mr. Holmes is just baffled. Sherlock, however, is determined to figure out what is his brother up to. Mycroft doesn’t do friendships, let alone relationships, so who is this mysterious Dr. John H. Watson and what’s his business with his brother?

Some personal notes: this is the actual summary on AO3, but I really don’t know a better way to describe it ;) I think my attempt of humor did work here, even if it endeded up including a bit of angst (but not much)

Additional notes: Alternate First Meeting, humor, Christmas fic, misunderstandings (of a sort), family.

Black magic

Johnlock, complete, 7400 words.

Summary: John ends up with a magic love potion (he was drunk, don’t judge him!) and in a fit of desperate longing, he gives it to Sherlock. He didn’t expect it to work since magic does not exist, so he’s a little baffled when Sherlock starts acting weirdly.

Some personal notes: this was the first fic I meant to write for the fandom. I never got around finishing until now, when I figured I might as well give it another try. I think it could have been longer, but I had no idea what else to write :P

Additional notes: attempt of humor, magic, a surprising amount of discussion of consent issues, not actually unrequited love.

Lessons in romance

Mystrade & Johnlock, 49300 words.

Summary: Sherlock may or may not be stalking the boy he likes. Mycroft has no wisdom to share with his little brother on the subject of romance and Greg is not helping at all.

Some personal notes: I got inspired to write this after listening to a song in spanish called “Rey Azul”. I’ve always wanted to write a teenlock and I adore writing the Holmes brothers as being completely oblivious on the subject of romance. Somehow, it turned angstier than I expected. My only work with over 500 kudos, which makes me ridiculously happy, obviously.

Additional notes: humor (at first), teenlock, heartbreak, jealousy, pining, bad family relationships.

All is fair (in love and war)

Johnlock, complete, 6300 words.

Summary: Eurus’ “game” forces John and Sherlock to confess long hidden feelings. It turns out as well as you’d expect.

Some personal notes: It started as a rewrite of the “I love you” scene in TFP, turned into a sort of fix it fic. I like it, even if I’m not completely sure the logic holds :P

Additional notes: angst, drama, hurt without comfort, but has a happy ending!

Priceless   

Johnlock, WIP.

Summary: Sherlock is a Prince with a Kingdom at war. He makes a deal with the all powerful wizard called “the Dark One”; the wizard will stop the war if Sherlock stays with him forever.

Some personal notes: this fic is result of the FandomTrumpsHate auction, for the lovely @sherlock-and-john-getting-it-on​. I was asked for a “Beauty and the Beast” inspired fic with John as the Beast. I asked for the chance to use the Once Upon a Time spin of the tale and this is the result.

Additional notes: magical AU, pining, misunderstandings (they’re both so silly it hurts!), includes my attempt of some proper smut, Jim wrote himself into it and in doing that provided me with an ending :P

Of love, madness and other powerful motivators

Some background Johnlock, Warstan, but relationships aren’t the focus. WIP (on hiatus).

Summary: Jim shoots himself at Bart’s ceiling and Sherlock jumps to save the people he loves (read John Watson); what he doesn’t know is that there are other forces at play and revenge is a dish best served cold. Jim’s turn has ended, but Eurus’ is just beginning.

Some personal notes: after reading many wonderful posts after the S4 finale, one point that really stuck me was about badly written female characters. It made me realize I don’t write that many female characters either and I don’t know if I’m any good at it so… this was born. Running with the idea that Mary worked for Jim, and (in this fic at least) by extension, Eurus.

Additional notes: angst, complicated relationships, mixed feelings, Eurus is actually out for revenge, imagining a whole alternate line for S4.

Saving all my love for you

Johnlock, WIP (on hiatus).

Summary: Unrequited love is no fun.

Some personal notes: I just wanted to write something angsty, heart tugging. There isn’t much plot, really, just a lot of pining and self reflection.

Additional notes: based on the song by the same title,angst, pining, sad, unilock.

Little lies and crazy plans

Mystrade & Johnlock, complete, 12300 words.

Summary: Sherlock recruits Greg’s help to seduce his brother away so he can have his boyfriend. But nothing is quite what it seems.

Some personal notes: A short silly story with a fake/pretend relationship that occurred to me because I re-read my own fic, “Long term complications of arranged marriages” and wanted to write some Johncroft with Johnlock but I couldn’t bring myself to make it angsty (again)

Additional notes: humor, alternate first meeting, fake/pretend relationship (John & Mycroft), jealousy, pining.

The art of letting go 

Johnlock, complete, 47400 words.

Summary: Sherlock convinces himself that if he can’t remember what happened on the stag night, then it didn’t happen at all. Until he finds out he’s pregnant and he can’t keep pretending, that is.

Some personal notes: Oh, I loved working on this. I have a thing for unplanned pregnancies (as you can probably tell) and while writing a character as trans always makes me nervous, I thought it worked well. The story is very angsty at points and it doesn’t get hopeful until the very end so… be warned!

Additional notes: Trans character, Mpreg, angst (a lot), jealousy, pining, Mary and John are married but she isn’t pregnant, pos TSoT, follows HLV more or less.

Baby, don't call me your friend

Mollrene, side Johnlock, WIP.

Summary: Irene watches John and Sherlock dance around each other while she avoids thinking of her own crush on her friend Molly.

Some personal notes: Another idea that came to me through music… I like it, but I’m not quite sure where it is going :P

Additional notes: alternate universe-high school, jealousy, pining, humor.

There’s always time for love (even at the end of the world)   

 Johnlock (1st chapter), Mollrene (2nd chapter), complete, 3700 words

Summary: In the middle of a Zombie Apocalypse, John and Sherlock run into Dr. Irene Adler while on a supply run.

Some personal notes: My daughter ADORES zombie movies, which translates on me having watched almost every single one on netflix. So of course inspiration struck.

Additional notes: alternate universe-zombie apocalypse, referenced past character death (that’s one hell of a downside with zombie apocalypses), jealousy, romance

Dutifulness

Mystrade, WIP.

Summary: As the clan’s Heir, Mycroft is expected to choose an appropriate Mate.

But the one he would willingly choose is far from appropriate.

Some personal notes: this one belongs in series with “Long shot”. I always intended to include some Mystrade there, but it didn’t quite work out and well… I finally got around writing this companion piece that stands well on its own.

Additional notes: Alpha/Beta/Omega dynamics, class differences (somewhat), pining, light angst.

Bad timing 

Johnlock, side Mystrade, WIP

Summary:Having run away from home after finding out his family was planning on sending him as a tribute to the Fire Lord, Sherlock somehow finds himself joining the rebellion.

Some personal notes: this one is a submission for the June’s hiatustory challenge. Also, I had been wanting to write an Avatar AU, so it seemed like the perfect chance ;)

Additional notes: alternate universe-avatar and bender’s setting, pining, jealousy, secret identity, romance.

A fortunate encounter

Johnlock, complete, 3300 words.

Summary:While escaping a group of enemy soldiers, Sherlock ends up in a mysterious island.

Some personal notes: after watching the Wonder Woman movie I couldn’t contain myself and ended up writing this short thing ;)

Additional notes: Wonder Woman AU, love at first sight, spoilers for the movie (somewhat, but not really), romance.

And that’s it for now! I hope you’ll enjoy them and if you could reblog this to share with your followers I’d be most thankful! :D

Also, if you enjoy my works and have any money to spare, I could really use help to pay my graduation fees, so you could Buy Me a Coffee
