"Hanahaki || Johnlock"

~prologue~

Advisory detective, consultant, sociopath (or as he like called himself, highly functioning sociopath), genius, scientist, madman, or simply Sherlock Holmes. He had many names and names.

Those that hurt him, he hid deep within himself, not letting them get to the light of day; to people's lives, or rather their miserable, idiotic existence.

Freak, psychopath, liar, murderer.

This last insult was, of course, not true. He may have been insane, but he certainly didn't kill anyone (possibly seriously injured anyone).

The world hurt Holmes. Nobody ever taught him to love him. It was always only required of him. He was always the sillier and troublemaker child. Microft, his brother seven years his senior, knew about his problems, although Sherlock had never told anyone about them. He knew about drugs and saved him every time his little brother overdosed on them. Eurus. Sherlock did not remember his younger sister; he wiped it out of his mind.

The detective suffered in silence, in the nothingness of a world full of fools and idiots, he was drowned in the palace of memory, he was dying. He got rid of his emotions; at least the visible ones. He was glad inside, he cried inside, he lived inside and died inside. He kept telling himself that loneliness protected him. With time, he began to push away even love, explaining that he did not need it, and that he "disturbed the thinking process by blah blah blah ...". The detective grew indifferent; he looked through emotionless eyes. Thread. Just emptiness. He got lost in it a long time ago, unable to control it.

Greg, Gavin, or Graham (Sherlock never remembered his real name, although he had known him for a long time) Lestrde, a policeman, could even be called Sherlock's friend. But Anderson, the most irritating and idiotic man in the world. He was like a weed in Sherlock's mind backyard. Completely unnecessary to him and his outstanding deduction.

Sherlock got lost. He understood it a long time ago. And Microft only made him aware of it by asking a seemingly simple and rather average question.

"Everything's all right? " he didn't have to ask. After all he knew; he knew him all too well.

Sherlock paused, his thoughts drifted back to the mind palace. He walked through its empty corridors, opening individual room doors. After all, people were standing in one of the many halls. People who didn't believe him, even though he had proven them so many times that he wasn't lying. All faces turned to him. "Liar, murderer, freak, madman". The crowd chanted newer insults again and again. They were all terrible, they hurt; they were like thorns.

And then John. One of a kind, John Watson, stood in the center of the room. Sherlock's assistant, closest friend. When he was around, it had to be okay, right? Truth?! People moved aside to form a corridor at the other end of which was Dr. Watson. He was smiling, so Sherlock didn't hesitate a moment and walked over to his friend. He felt more than friendship for him. The detective loved him. He didn't want it, but he loved him.

Sherlock from the mind palace stood in front of John and smiled friendly and affectionate, though it seemed almost impossible. The doctor came closer, stood on tiptoe and just as he was about to kiss him...

"Freak. Did you really think I could love you? How can you love murder and psyhopath."

... these sentences rumbled in Sherlock's head and echoed through the endless corridors of the mind palace.

The detective stepped back sharply thereby losing his balance. He felt a slight twinge in his heart and an unmerciful burning sensation in his throat. Then he had quite a fit of coughing. Sherlock put his hand to his mouth, feeling something or someone want to come out of his mouth. He spat it out on his hand. It was a small white rose petal slightly stained with blood.

"Sherlock, SHERLOCK!" The detective opened his eyes to see Microft in front of them.

"I'm okay. All is well. It has to be" Sherlock said. But Microft knew nothing was right. Never was righat  with his little brother.

Sherlock got up, not waiting any longer for his brother's reply, and headed for the room. His face showed no unnecessary emotion other than indifference, and the painful pressure in his chest increased with each passing second. As soon as the door to his room closed behind him, he had a fit of coughing. Just like in the mind palace a moment ago. Again that strange, scratchy sensation in the throat and the feeling that something is persistently trying to get out of him.

So he did what he thought. He put his hand to his mouth and fell out of his mouth again...

...rose Flake. Same as in the memory palace; small, white, stained with blood. Sherlock knew what that meant.

He was terrified.

Some good ol’ ACD Holmes and Watson

[tremendously-crazy]

Sherlock Holmes fans don't want much. They just want to see a universe where Holmes and Watson actually get to be together.

[thief-of-eggs]

*points at a very straight media with literally no queer characters* Now this… this is the greatest queer love story ever told

"Mary, bless her, had rightly guessed where I had been and with whom. Yet she had no more than to accuse me of marrying her under the false pretense that while all the world believed she held my heart, in reality, it belonged to Holmes."

SHERLOCK | Martin Freeman as John Watson

[ogsherlockholmes]

ACD writing A Study in Scarlet: Here's an idea, I've worked very hard on it and I'm very proud, do you like it? You don't? I'll fix it, let me fix it, I can make it better.

ACD writing The Sign of The Four: This is better, in fact, it's perfect. Cyclical structure and everything, check it out, Fleshed out characters, amazing storyline, I know you're going to like this one.

ACD writing anything Holmes related afterwards: Here, take this. I thought of it in the bathroom and wrote it on a piece of toilet paper. I don't care what you do with it just take it, now, I hope it's shit so you stop asking for it. Is there a deeper meaning? Stop asking me questions. Anyway, have you heard of Professor Challenger?

Accidental? Marriage Johnlock au idea

So we all know Sherlock is not as emotionally distant and mature as he likes to pretend. I think he is a very emotional individual who cares deeply but has problems expressing it.

Anyway, he gets Mycroft to stop monitoring his online activities in exchange for a case or testing clean or something. So he starts online dating. Sherlock falls hard for this ex military man. He refuses to tell his family any identifying information about said man because he doesn't want them to tell him anything bad or bully him.

Four months in to the chatting the man says lets get married and Sherlock is overjoyed. He plans the whole wedding invites all of his family, the other guy says he'll invite his side and Sherlock even ends up getting a suit for the man.

Day of the wedding, Sherlock is getting all his stuff prepped to go to the venue and the man texts saying it was all a joke and he's married and was just looking for fun. Sherlock panics because he doesn't want his family to say stuff to him about being too emotional or Mycroft to say I told you so or you should have let me investigate him.

Sherlock decides he needs air and he needs to think and starts walking to a nearby pub. He realizes that he's more upset about what his family will say than about the man breaking it off, he also finally admits to himself that he suspected the man was married the whole time.

In his introspection he isn't paying attention and physically runs into John who is in full military dress. Turns out John was coming from a ceremony honoring him and his unit. Sherlock can read how upset John is and decides to take a chance.

"You'll probably think I'm crazy, and maybe I am, but I just got left at the alter, well I will be left at the alter in two hours technically. I can see life isn't going your way either so what do you say? Do you want to get married? No catch of course. We can divorce really quickly."

"My sister just got kicked out of a ceremony that I was supposed to be honored at for causing a drunken disturbance and I have a week to get out of the temp housing, why not."

They both stare at each other and start giggling. Sherlock takes John back to 221 B, grabs his stuff and hails a cab and away they go to get married.

Of course Sherlock's family ends up loving John and are all sympathetic when he admits his only family is his sister and she was too drunk to attend.

Cue shenanigans where they actually end up falling in love and decide to stay married.

GET YOURSELF A MAN LIKE JOHN WATSON

[under-loch-n-key]

Longggg Sherlock & Co plot rant. You have been warned.

I know the creator of Sherlock & Co. found the idea of writing Moriarty into the series intimidating. Plus, not knowing how to do Sherlock's "death" over a podcast and such. But I had an idea.

I love the idea of Professor Moriarty being some sort of hacker/online troll and MORIARTY is the name of a dark web corporation that is trying to hack into the Sherlock & Co. Company to send Sherlock puzzles/cases. You lot know those shady anon hackers on the dark web in films and certain websites? Like that.

I think it would be cool if at first Moriarty leaves hate/weird comments on John's podcasting sites and Watson just thinks it is some hater and thinks nothing of it and deletes the comments. He just grumbles about the comments being a continous thing.

Suddenly the comments stop. Watson isn't complaining about it, he is relieved by that because they were really annoying him. (no matter how many times Sherlock & Mariana told him to ignore them.)

Later on, Watson gets these emails from an unknown email of some shady guy (Moriarty) taunting Sherlock (and the rest of the company) and sending them on goose chase cases (Like the BBC did in that one episode with the phone calls, in a way?)

When Moriarty becomes the main centre of the podcast episodes, instead of Sherlock dying, he gets kidnapped by Moriarty's network. Watson and Mariana embark on and have to solve their most important case yet "Where is Sherlock Holmes?" This would give us some cool dynamics and more screentime between Watson and Mariana.

Watson starts to panick because he thinks he isn't like Sherlock and Sherlock did tell him that he would never be able to figure out stuff the way he could. Mariana is there to support and be there for him. Watson and Mariana have to channel their inner Sherlock Holmes to solve the case.

Idk whether I like the idea of Sherlock expecting this to happen and leave behind clues in some way. I do know though, that I like the idea of the following cases being them trying to work on finding Sherlock.

When they do, Sherlock is banged up and Sherlock tells him "I trusted that you would find me, Watson. You really are a persistent fellow."

And Watson just runs up and hugs him and Mariana joins in and they are just mother henning him like crazy.

Watson tells Sherlock "Don't do that to me again. Don't disappear on me again, you hear?"

And Sherlock is like "It's not like I was expecting to kidnapped, John. Besides, your podcast wouldn't last without me."

Watson just huffs and tells him "No, no, it wouldn't. Just come here," and then goes to hug him again.

Mariana pulls away from them both in realisation and she tells them "Boys, I don't mean to break up our moment, but we still do have one problem."

They both look at her and Sherlock nods and says "Moriarty. He's still out there."

I want it to be implied that they came face to face while Sherlock was kidnapped.

"He? Sherlock, you saw him?" Watson replies.

"Indeed, Watson and I think I know where he'll be waiting next."

*cue Sherlock & Co. End of episode music.*

Anyways, then we get to the episode of the Reichenbach fall, they have their final facedown. Sherlock doesn't die, but Moriarty does fall.

Watson would 100% be grumbling about how he can't pick up any audio over the sound of the falls.

Sherlock and Moriarty would begin fighting and Watson would start describing the scene in a panicked tone.

Sherlock calls over "Not helping, Watson!"

After more sounds of fighting and nervous ramblings from Watson. Sherlock & Moriarty turn the corner of the falls into a blind spot.

All Watson hears and sees is a cry and someone fall and crash into the water.

Watson panicks and shouts "SHERLOCK!" then dashes up to where they were fighting. Sherlock is sitting down and catching his breath.

Sherlock would probably make a smartarse comment like "Ah, John. Glad you make it. Help me up will you?"

"You're not dead."

"Clearly, or else we wouldn't be speaking. Now, would you please help me up?"

"Right, yeah." Watson helps him up.

"So, you, erm, you killed him?"

"I did. His baritsu was lacking, so his demise was inevitable."

"You're a clever, bugger, mate. Now, lift home?"

"Yes, of course."

I think it would be funny if the episode ended like this. They get home and Mariana starts mother-henning them both and she is scolding them both in Spanish about being more careful, how much she cares for them both, etc. Then she hugs them both.

Later on, we cut to them sitting in their chairs and talking about, well, everything.

"It's good to have you home, you know? I- well, Mariana and I both missed you."

"Mm. It's good to be home, Watson. I prefer the smell of our flat to the vile odour of where I was."

"Do you want to talk about it? Because, I, erm, am always here if you need a good talk."

"Not at the moment, Watson, but I will keep that in mind."

Long pause.

"So, Moriarty's network.. is it?-"

"Gone? Mm. No, but it will be taken care of."

"How? They are bloody HUGE, Sherlock. Shouldn't we, I don't know, contact Lestrade? Actually, the whole bloody Scotland Yard?"

"They're useless here, Watson. I'll leave this to the government."

"The government? Sherlock, we both know what they are. The government is not reliable in the slightest."

"Mm. The government you are discussing, yes. They are indeed unreliable, but in this instance I am discussing a WHO not a what."

"Friends in high places?"

"No. Much much worse."

"Oh, erm, an enemy then?"

"Mycroft is not an enemy, but certainly not a friend."

"What the devil is a 'Mycroft'?"

"My brother."

There's a long silence in the audio

"YOUR WHAT!?"

*Cue end of episode music*

I think this concept would be a cool way to be introduced to Mycroft, Watson realising his capibilities since meeting Sherlock, more screentime with Mariana and John's friendship, a way to do the podcast without killing Sherlock and having the time gap between Sherlock's "death" and resurrection, etc.

If you made it to the end of my Sherlock & Co plot concept ramble, good for you. Lol. Anyway, I just thought this would be a cool concept. The rant kinda blended into a fic, but oh well.

Do you lot like this idea? I thought it would be neat.

If John (or even the creator of Sherlock & Co) sees this ever, I will spontaneously combust. 😳

Enjoy my story/plot rant-

(Sorry for any typos, I am sick and half-asleep)

(I am so normal about them, I swear-)

[blistering-typhoons]

huh well that line's different than usual
