AU where Logan is the “weird kid” in elementary school and runs around the playground in a deerstalker playing Sherlock Holmes

Patton’s method of becoming Logan’s friend is to become his Watson, Janus’s method is to become his Moriarty

Idk just little Logan, Patton, and Janus running around playing detective :3

The Game is Afoot!

Rated: G - WC: 1036 - CW: None

Three weeks after Christmas and Logan is still working on his puzzle from Virgil. Is it any wonder why?

"The game is afoot!"

“But I thought you said Virgil’s game is a puzzle, Logie!” 

“Patton! It’s a—��� The Moral Side’s head tilted far to the left, brow knit together in deep confusion. Breathing slowly through his mouth as he pinched the bridge of his nose, he nearly missed the quiver at the corner of Patton's mouth. He groaned. “Okay, okay, you got me.”

“So can I play, too?” Patton bounced on the balls of his feet, Watson scarf already tied in a neat knot around his neck.

Logan groaned again. “No, not this time, Patton.”

“Yeah, Popstar, I get to play Watson and Moriarty for this one.”

“Don’t worry, Daddy,” Remus purred from his spot behind the television. “You can help me air fry fish fingers.”

“Um, do fish have fingers?” Patton asked, his perplexed expression genuine this time.

“Doctor Who reference?” Logan asked, eyes darting up from the frayed newspaper in his hands. Christmas had been over two weeks ago and he was still working through the mystery puzzle Virgil had created for him.

The Anxious Side chuckled. “Focus, L…”

“I dunno!” the Creative Side laughed, either not hearing the other two Sides or simply ignoring them, and grabbed Patton’s hand, his new—well, formerly new air fryer tucked under one arm. The thing reeked of a mixture of pickle brine and peat, and its once pristine white plastic casing was charred and cracked on the sides. A neon green mold had begun to grow around the control panel, nearly obscuring a flashing ERR-80085. “Let’s go find out!”

Before Patton could say another word, the two had sunk out to the Imagination.

“And then there were four—err, well,” Logan cleared his throat and returned his attention to the newspaper. 

“Yes,” Janus purred from the corner of the couch. “Don’t mind us, we don’t want to play your silly little scavenger hunt—”

“It’s not just a scavenger hunt, Jay! Ugh, why do you—” Virgil cut himself off and adjusted the ties on his hoodie. “Nope, not gonna engage. Not worth it.”

“That’s right, Tall, Dark, and Stormy,” Roman agreed from the staircase. He leapt over the side of the banister with a flourish, the new gold—was that real gold?—trim clinking gently with the impact. “I shall keep the living room safe from any of Janus’ dastardly plans.”

“Oh, no, you caught me drinking wine,” Janus slurred.

“Off you go,” Roman said to Virgil and Logan, pretending not to hear Janus’ mocking. Virgil and Logan exchanged a look. Selective hearing seemed to be a tool in each of the brother’s kits. “I’ve got everything under control here.”

“If you��re sure, Princey,” Virgil began, gaze trained on Janus’ oh-so-innocent expression.

“Wait, Virgil!” Logan grabbed his arm in a remarkable imitation of Remus dragging Patton to the Imagination. He held the newspaper to Virgil’s face. “Does this symbol represent the meter outside?”

Worry shifted into a wicked grin. “Only one way to find out, Detective Holmes.”

“Ha! I knew it!” Logan grinned and ran toward the door, Virgil at his heels.

They flung open the door together and stood on the sunny first step, just as Thomas’ neighbor walked by, well, more like was led by her noisy dog.

“Oh! Good morning, uh, Thomas?” she called as she jogged past, barely managing to slow the pace of her five pound monster of a chihuahua, Craig the Dragon. 

“Good morning, Betty!” Logan called quickly, stepping to obscure her view of Virgil’s face. “You’ve met my brother Jake, have you not?”

“Yes, yes, of course…” she agreed, voice fading. She was already three doors down. “Nice to see you, Jake!” Betty called one more time before Craig spotted a lizard in another yard and dashed after it.

“That was close,” Virgil muttered, peering around Logan’s shoulder to watch Betty stamp her foot and shout, Leave it!

“Indeed,” Logan agreed, scanning the newspaper. “Is this the only outdoor clue?”

Virgil nodded, eyes fixed on the race between the lizard and the chihuaha. “Yeah.” The chihuaha won.

“Well, then…” Logan adjusted his deerstalker. “Shall we?”

Another neighbor ran out to help pry the lizard from Craig’s maw and Logan and Virgil used the distraction to swing around to the other side of Thomas’ house. Logan began counting the meters. The final meter in the row showed was lettered LUC.

“Is that meant to be ‘look?’” Logan asked, eyebrow raised.

“What do you want? I was outside and in a rush,” Virgil shrugged, keeping watch around the corner. “L, hurry up, she’s on her way back and I look nothing like Jake.”

Nodding brusquely, Logan examined every inch of the glass casing. Finally, he found a series of tiny scratches. Running his fingers over the markings, he grinned. “Morse code? T-h-e—space—n-e-x-t—space—g-l—Wait—” He rubbed his fingertip over another section. “Ha! You thought you could catch me with pre-1874 Morse code!”

He fell quiet, studying the scratches. “C’mon, L, we gotta get back inside now.”

“Ha!” Logan crowed, triumphantly. He grabbed Virgil’s hand and dashed around the back of the building. “Let’s go through the patio. ‘The next clue is in the kitchen.’”

Virgil was the first to smell smoke. The pair exchanged one last quick look and raced to the door.

Before either could reach it, the patio door slid open with a crash and Patton stumbled out. “They’re moving! The chicken fingers are moving!” he screeched, smacking at his own shoulders. Embers sparked in his hair and on the sleeves of his catigan. A wall of acrid smoke soon followed and they all stepped back.

“Come back, Daddy!” Remus called, his voice and the tromp of boots growing louder. The Creative Side emerged from he smoke, arms full of wriggling—and burnt—breaded somethings. “I think I got ‘em all this time!”

“Remus!” Roman shouted from inside. “They got in my crown!”

“Oops. Almost all of ‘em,” Remus winked and ran back inside. "Keep your pants on, Ro Bro! Believe me—you don't want those little stinkers getting in there!"

The trio shared a moment of confused silence before Janus sauntered out, an uncorked bottle in one hand and a tray of four glasses in the other. “Wine, anyone?”

[tulipanthousa]

after I rewatched the holiday asides, please consider with me, if you like:

prinxiety is a recent thing and unbelievably sappy, dukeceit is a long term married couple. the twins are still brothers and the in laws are SALTY towards each other. Logan is a collective mutual friend.

Virgil, Janus, and Remus are all crushing HARD and trying (with varying degrees of success/skill) to seduce Logan into their respective relationships. Virgil wants to extend the sap to Logan and stare into his eyes as they make love. Remus and Janus want to eat that nerd alive (or have him eat them 👀).

(Roman's just along for the ride lol)

some of the phrasing on this makes it sound like this is a fucking. gay hallmark christmas porn plot as opposed to canonvers, which to me is even funnier because it begs the question of why patton and logan are even there. did logan get two separate invites to this family event for the express purpose of seducing him and blowing his back out in their cousin pattons guest room.

also i am LIVING for virgil being such a dweeb that he's like "how can i seduce logan so we can make sweet passionate love under the moonlight? i know! i will cosplay james moriarty and send him on a scavenger hunt. scavenger hunts are sexy right?"

Hellsite Nostalgia Tour 2023 Day 57

The Great Game

It was a wretched day, but I have Oreos, a weighted triceratops stuffed animal, and the promise of Jim Moriarty to combat it before manga leaks come out tonight.

“The Great Game”

Ten years ago I definitely was the kind of grammar stickler Sherlock is in the opening scene, but luckily I’ve grown and find that at best tiresome.

Poor John has to put up with Sherlock shooting the wall and severed heads in the fridge

Hey. So why does he not know that the earth goes around the sun but knew about some supernova in the 1500s or whatever the fuck it is in the last game

I almost forgot about the explosion at 221b

It would be so infuriating knowing the Holmes brothers…I couldn’t do it. They’re so petulant and annoying they it’s only fun from this side of the screen

I feel for these people Jim holds hostage, I really do. But……..I wouldn’t be me if I didn’t also love him a little through it anyway

JIM!!! 🥰🥰🥰

I hate how season four erases the shared starting place Sherlock and Jim had with Carl Powers

Why does Mycroft sign his texts?? I try not to cringe at things (doing this, I have little room to), but come on, man

The part I remember the most about this second puzzle is the fact that the car company is called Janus Cars but someone once pointed out that the font kinda makes it look like anus ars(e) with a fancy design next to it.

Oh oh oh!! The…the husband faked his death and the wife is supposed to join him later, I think…oh, sorry. She’s just collecting the insurance money from his “death.”

Might I spend most of this remembering the outcomes of all the puzzles? Ok. Connie Prince…I can’t remember if it’s JUST Raoul or him AND the brother. No no no…it was just Raoul but in defense of her brother and how she treated him on the show.

I love John thinking it was the cat, though. Just adorable. He’s so proud. SO PROUD. And SO wrong.

Oh this poor, poor woman…

Mmmm, yes, the art museum security guard with an astronomy hobby who could first tell that the missing Vermeer was a fake

Stargazing in the middle of London???

The brother killed the guy Mycroft wanted Sherlock to investigate!! (I did watch his QUITE a few times back in the day.) He stole the top secret plans and then threw the body onto the train afterward, thinking it would go much further before falling off

Back on my “why the hell would they film it this way??” The scene in the planetarium this time. 1) good luck if you have any light sensitivity, especially flashing lights. 2) you can barely tell what’s happening

Man were my dates off for the vanburen supernova…1500s…1858, same difference, right??? 😬

Do you wanna get kidnapped John? Because this is how you get kidnapped.

Also?? That first time you watch and for a split second you think the person behind it all WAS John for a second before you realize he’s being controlled like all the other people?

💖💖💖💖💖

GUYSSSSSSSS, THE AMOUNT OF JIM’S DIALOGUE I WAS STILL ABLE TO SAY RIGHT ALONG WITH HIM??? A would be embarrassing amount. It was nearly all of it, but like…of COURSE I knew it. The NUMBER of times I used to watch that scene. JUST that scene? Obscene.

Jim’s just so silly and yet…manages to be a true threat at the same time. I fucking love him. His facial expressions, his Irish accent and the way he practically sings so many of the lines. He was the best part of the show

(I’m rewinding it to watch again as I type this. Who knows how many times I will watch it??)

If you ever need to know my type:

[loganslowdown4]

Janus: You know, light travels faster than sound, which is why you seemed bright until you spoke.

Logan: If you just came to insult me, then leave.

Janus: Oh, but I’m so good at it.

Logan: Hmm, one of the only things you are good at. If you’re going to be two-faced, at least make one of them pretty.

Janus: I— huh, that one was actually clever.

Logan: Do you want another? Fine. Somewhere out there is a tree tirelessly producing oxygen for you. You owe it an apology.

Janus: {quietly} I’ve never been so turned on in my life.

Logan: And another thing— wait what?

Janus: WHAT?

[emepe13]

I just realized that most of my favorite characters are always smug bastards (with punchable faces) and I don't know what to do with that information.

[trickster-tabby]

Sides Parents

Father: unknown

Mother: Kira Schrader (deceased)

Raised by grandmother, Linda Schrader

Janus unfortunately was conceived via rape. His mother was too poor to care for him, and gave custody to his grandmother (who he calls "Gran") when he was only a year old. He never saw her again.

Father: Frank Liddell

Mother: Tonya Liddell (deceased)

Stepfather: Drew Liddell

Patton's mother, while very loving, was mentally unstable. She committed suicide when Patton was a child. Patton was confused when his father started seeing Drew, but he grew to love him.

Father: King Terry Mixon

Mother: Queen Gina Mixon

Terry tries his best to be "hip with the kids". He fails miserably. Gina actually does understand gen z culture, and tries to teach him, which makes it a little more bearable.

Father: Reginald "Ren" Redd (unknown for Xyler)

Mother: Ashley Redd

Thankfully, Logan's parents are divorced. Logan's father is a horrible person. He's queerphobic and abusive. He intentionally misgenders and deadnames Logan. Logan's mother is a loving and wonderful person. She always accepted that Logan is not Lauren.

Father: King Kai Moriarty

Mother: Queen Karen Moriarty

Older sister: Princess Veronica Moriarty

Virgil's parents, while very loving and very much loved, don't understand that Virgil is no longer a child. They try to protect him from things like swearing, sex, and even things that used to scare him that he now loves. For example, heavy music bands such as Avenged Sevenfold used to scare Virgil because they were loud, but now A7X is one of his favorite bands. Virgil also dislikes being treated like royalty, despite being a prince. Veronica, while liking more stereotypically "white girl" things, understands Virgil and hangs out with him regularly. Veronica will inherit the throne.

[coconut-cluster]

I’ve posted about it before but............ au (or them cosplaying like the nerds they are) with Logan/Patton as Sherlock/Watson and Deceit as Moriarty........thank you goodnight

[tulipanthousa]

you are right on the money, I DID in fact intend it to be a gay Hallmark Christmas porn plot and I'm pleased you agree

Patton is either blissfully unaware of everything or secretly helping everyone's efforts along.

Virgil puts himself in a Moriarty outfit in bed at the end of the scavenger hunt. it's sexy but also just adorably dorky. he is Extremely Nervous and nearly talks himself out of it on five separate occasions.

Janus keeps pulling Logan aside to snark about the rest of the guests while getting EXTREMELY handsy. feeling up his arms and chest while refilling the wine. talking about how he's so pleased Logan is here, finally some decent conversation besides his husband.

Remus ties mistletoe to the front of his belt.

(I meant the holiday asks just as a "imagine this spicy/funny scenario with me" type thing, btw!! not a prompt or request or anything with expectations. had a sudden attack of worry about how that would get taken after I sent it)

youre good im just prepping for my dogs first vet appointment and am nauseous with anxiety aksjdhj

im incredibly amused by the idea of slutty moriarty lingerie. what would such a garment even entail. ive never seen sherlock

[sarahthecoat]

Wow, lovely!

~Sherlock's Own Jerusalem~

..The Great Game, A Sonnet & Bus Number 14

In the story The Great Game, our two heroes are about to incur the wrath of moriarty-as-two-faced-god. He was in fact the ‘Janus Figure’ in Who’s Vermeer Is This? and has laid his plans to lure our men into a showdown.

Sherlock and John have a little domestic. It seems they weren’t seeing eye to eye on things. Sherlock felt very misunderstood by John, on his blog. It seems that Sherlock doesn’t give a flying fig about the Solar System. Go figure.

“Ordinary people fill their heads with all kinds of rubbish, and that makes it hard to get at the stuff that matters. Do you see?”

Which John just finds totally weird.

Queue Sherlock sulking and John 'getting some air’. But throughout the various cases, during this time, John shows how invaluable he is, following up leads, laid out by Janus, gathering important evidence; even enduring a painful interview with Mycroft. He had indeed become Sherlock’s second sight; his other half.

Following some long, arduous hours of investigating, after pushing John in all different directions, Sherlock spies a bus with the number 14, out of the taxi window, and remembers his Shakespeare; something that was quite fitting for this particular moment.

  And Sherlock attempts to tell John how important he is to him.                                                                                                                      “Beautiful, isn’t it?” John: I thought you didn’t care about things like that. SHERLOCK: “Doesn’t mean I can’t appreciate it. (They walk into the Arches.)                                                                       Sonnet 14…a paraphrase.                                                           

 "I do not receive my knowledge or make my decisions by the stars; Though I have enough training in astrology to do so                                       I cannot predict good luck or bad, Or plagues, or famine, or the weather; Nor can I say what will happen at any given moment in our daily lives,

Alloting to each man his thunder, rain, and wind [i.e., he cannot foretell our personal troubles], Or even tell princes if things will go well for them, By frequent omens that I see in the heavens: 

   But from your eyes alone do I derive my knowledge, And they are my constant stars, in which I read such art (gain such knowledge)                                                                                                          That I see truth and beauty will live together in harmony, If you would only turn your focus from yourself to creating a child; Or else this is my prophecy:                                                                             That truth and beauty will all end when you die.”

Because for Sherlock, #Johnwatsonlives means #Sherlocklives

 And as Sherlock and John pass through several open gateways, moving deeper into the dark temple of Janus, not heeding the sign on the wall, saying the WAY OUT was backwards, they have already made up their minds that they are, in fact a team…

 …As Sherlock begins his battle with Janus, for John, and for himself.

 When Christ Came To England

Fun Fact: In the Bus #14 pic above, there is a large shot of a Michael Jackson sign, with the word Thriller. Also, a popular play, Jerusalem by Jez Butterworth. The play makes frequent allusions to William Blake’s lyrics to the song “Jerusalem”, from which its title is derived. The poem was inspired by the apocryphal story that a young Jesus, accompanied by Joseph of Arimathea, a tin merchant, travelled to what is now England and visited Glastonbury during his unknown years.The Christian church in general, and the English Church in particular, has long used. Jerusalem as a metaphor for Heaven, a place of universal love and peace.

In the most common interpretation of the poem, Blake implies that a visit by Jesus would briefly create heaven in England, in contrast to the “dark Satanic Mills” of the Industrial Revolution.

 …Jerusalem…

And did those feet in ancient time, Walk upon England’s mountains green: And was the holy Lamb of God, On England’s pleasant pastures seen! And did the Countenance Divine, Shine forth upon our clouded hills? And was Jerusalem builded here, Among these dark Satanic Mills? Bring me my Bow of burning gold; Bring me my Arrows of desire: Bring me my Spear: O clouds unfold! Bring me my Chariot of fire! I will not cease from Mental Fight, Nor shall my Sword sleep in my hand: Till we have built Jerusalem, In England’s green & pleasant Land.

Beneath the poem Blake inscribed a quotation from the Bible:                        “Would to God that all the Lords people were Prophets” Numbers XI.ch 29.v.

The original text is found in the preface Blake wrote for inclusion with Milton, a Poem, following the lines beginning “The Stolen and Perverted Writings of Homer & Ovid: of Plato & Cicero. Blake lived in London for most of his life, but wrote much of Milton while living in the village of Felpham in Sussex!                                                    *An extract of the hymn was heard in the 2013 Doctor Who episode ”The Crimson Horror“ although that story was set in 1893, i.e., before Parry’s arrangement.

"signs point to it having been John with Mycroft’s help" Screaming, crying, throwing up, laughing, Janus the god with two faces, soldier and a doctor, gay and straight, judas the betryer and christ the redeemer, alcoholic and a crack shot, the M flipped upside down is a W, WatchMojo top ten anime betrayals and confessions 😱

These sure are a lot of words shdkjdjdjdkdsjjdksk

I’m not implying John is evil for the record, I think he staged Moriarty’s return to save Sherlock and it went disastrously wrong.
