"Rosamund, dear. It's storming out. We can't go to the park."

[ponkydraws]

Parentlock headcanons.

- Rosie grows up to have surprisingly curly hair. John has no clue how to deal with it. During a particularly frustrating hair day Sherlock just stepped in and fixed it with ease, John being in awe at his skills only for Sherlock to point out that he, in fact, ALSO has curly hair. Also because of that fact sometimes people assume she’s his instead of John’s

- Rosie makes up crime cases in her play pretend and Sherlock gets genuinely invested in her storylines. On occasion he gets annoyed by the inconsistencies of the criminal since obviously Ken was nowhere near the deceased Barbie at the time of her disappearance but he’ll let her have her fun

- Sherlock does not stoop so low as to sing lullabies…but he might play a few on his violin to soothe Rosie to sleep

- Sherlock refuses to talk to Rosie like a child and uses his regular advanced vocabulary, resulting in Rosie using impressively big words and expressions before she’s even started school

- Rosie kept insisting on calling both of them dad, despite their combined efforts to get her to stop. Eventually it just became a habit for both of them to turn around when she called for her dad. The first time resulted in an awkward silence

- Rosie makes “deductions” about her classmates in primary school (ie pointing out their flaws to their faces) and John gets called in for a meeting with her teachers. John’s embarrassed but Sherlock’s not.

- generally John picks Rosie up from daycare & school, but on rare occasions Sherlock is given the mission to pick her up. This usually results in John receiving a concerned phone call from one of the unaware teachers if Sherlock is actually allowed to take the child with him

- as a teenager, Sherlock knows when Rosie’s breaking the rules. He waits in her bedroom with a cup of tea as she climbs back in through her window in the middle of the night. However, she’s usually got dirt on him too, storing body parts in the fridge next to the takeaway and whatnot, so they end up making a “I won’t tell John if you don’t” kinda deal

- At one point Sherlock is questioned on why he refers to Rosie as his daughter when he’s her godfather, he casually explains that God is a ludicrous invention of mankind in an attempt to explain the existence of life so if the word “God” in “goddaughter” doesn’t mean anything to him, why should he include it?

- Sherlock still experiments around the flat despite the toddler running around but he watches her like a hawk and she doesn’t ingest anything toxic under his supervision ever

I am a complicated girl. I like Sherlock raising Rosie together with John but then that means he was hurt at the wedding and just the whole thing surrounding Mary. How do I get parentlock without Johnlock never having separated…

Day 11 : Ribbons 🎀

----------------------------------------------------------

The Secret Ribbon Code

Finding oddities at 221B, Baker Street wasn't something new - Sherlock's bizarre scientific apparatus and horrifying specimens, John's scattered medical journals, Mrs Hudson's occasional baked delights left on the table, or even the toys Rosie sometimes left in the fridge.

"The dinosaurs will vanish again if they don't find a good home", Rosie had once protested when John insisted on keeping them back in her toy box.

Today, as the duo returned to the flat after a long and tiring case, Sherlock found something new.

A red ribbon tied neatly to the doorknob of his bedroom.

Pausing, Sherlock tilted his head, examining the knot. Simple yet clean, practical and perfect. Rosie's work, undoubtedly. He untied it carefully, carrying the ribbon into the living room.

Rosie was sitting cross legged on the floor with a box of ribbons in every colour imaginable. Upon sensing Sherlock coming, she turned to look, her face lighting up.

"You found the first one!"

"First one of what exactly?", Sherlock inquired, holding the ribbon high up in the air.

Rosie grinned, "Oh! That's my secret ribbon code! Red means that you have to come and talk to me."

Sherlock raised an eyebrow, intrigued.

"And what about the other colours?"

Rosie scratched her chin. "I haven't really decided but wait. Blue means you're very busy with your work and I shouldn't bother you. Yellow means it's snack time and green means it's time to play deductions!"

"Hmm, interesting", Sherlock mumbled, sitting down beside her. "But, do tell me, what happens if I forget them?"

"Sherlock, you better store this in your hard drive", John stated softly without taking his eyes off the telly.

Rosie giggled. The idea of him forgetting such a simple code seemed preposterous. "You're the smartest person in this world, Sherlock".

Sherlock allowed himself a smile, a rare one.

"Flattery will get you anywhere, my dear Watson".

From that day onwards, the ribbon code became their private language. Sherlock would find green ribbons tied to his violin or the Cluedo Board, yellow ribbons around his mugs, and even a blue ribbon tied neatly around his microscope when he was deeply absorbed in one of his experiments.

But his favourite moment came on one evening when Mrs. Hudson invited everyone to dinner.

Rosie, with her tiny legs sprinted across the room to tie pink ribbons on everyone's wrists.

"Uncle Greg, here's one for you! Aunt Molly, you should get one!", she squealed as she went on with her mission.

"Oh thanks sweetie!", Molly watched Rosie knit her eyebrows as she secured the knot into place.

"What does this mean?", John asked.

"Pink means that I love Uncle Greg and Aunt Molly. Mrs Hudson too, but she won't let me tie one now. She says the flour will make it dirty. I have one for Uncle Mycroft, but he isn't here today", she pouted.

Rosie ran to her box and fished out two gold ribbons. She tied one around John and hopped towards Sherlock's chair, who extended his wrist at once.

John couldn't help but smile at the sight infront of him. Rosie stuck out her tongue in utmost concentration while finishing off her knot neatly.

"That's something new", Sherlock asked softly.

Rosie beamed up at him. "Yes, gold also means that I love you, but it's different from the others. You and Daddy are my best friends. We're best friends forever, aren't we?"

For a moment, Sherlock was silent. John could feel himself tear up. Then, with a rare gentleness, he picked Rosie up and made her sit on his lap. Rosie wrapped her arms around his neck.

"Thank you, little lady. I'll make sure to remember that one", he smiled and planted a kiss on her cheek.

Writing a story after a long, long, long time.

@helloliriels @hesagoodone @a-victorian-girl @aziraphalianfangirl @holmesianlove @totallysilvergirl @ghostofnuggetspast please give me your feedback 🤗

Thanks to @notjustamumj for the prompts 🩷

[buckingham-ashtray]

someday rosamund would ask sherlock why does he never call her by her first name and he would not be able to answer.

[charlie-novakk]

hullo!

so, i'm translating another one of my old fics. in this one, John's a doctor and Sherlock is (mostly) a stay-at-home parent. i would be honoured if you checked it out! <3

John's POV.

summary:

The future awaiting John and Sherlock turns out not quite as Mary Watson had foretold, because raising a growing child in a cramped flat while pursuing a job that’s both unstable and high-risk is difficult indeed.

They still live together – but both must make compromises.

[tjlc-hellven]

Johnny! There is no baby!

[pigeon-tracks]

We had mollusks

Now I raise you

Nudibranches

[ceo-of-raccoon-toby]

Also pray for my art style, yall. Nothing's wrong with it, it's just inconsistent lmao.

Vocês já leram 'YOLO - Só se vive uma vez'? Minha mais recente fanfic de Sherlock está concluída e disponível gratuitamente no Wattpad! Uma história com mistério, drama e momentos cotidianos do 221B na Baker Street.

Acessem:

Sinopse: Dr. Watson disse certa vez que normal e bem são termos relativos quando se trata dos Holmes, e o mesmo parece valer para quem frequenta o 221B da Rua Baker. Rosie iniciou a vida escolar, ainda contando com sua babá, Audrey, que conseguiu um lugar permanente para viver além de amizades incondicionais e Molly está se divertindo com o comportamento atípico de seu amigo, estranhamente obcecado em estudá-la. Apesar das aparências, o cotidiano de quem convive com um detetive consultor, o único do mundo, está longe de ser trivial, pois o perigo está sempre à espreita. Se estiver procurando mistério, drama e algumas doses de romance, acabou de encontrar. De caça ao tesouro a um encontro de casais numa casa noturna com direito àquela primeira vez inesquecível, essa história traz o melhor e o mais intenso que se pode experimentar na companhia de Sherlock Holmes e John Watson.

[fluffishere]

she doesn't know about the twin towers

[sillygirlsmindpalace]

I imagine little Rosie going, "I want princess hairstyles too!" because all her friends wear them at school so Sherlock immediately goes on YouTube for hairstyle tutorials and tries them out on her.

[charlie-novakk]

I'm struggling to name a third thing, but YAY! to parentlock and John's hair!

One of the best things about season 4 (aside from John's hair): PARENTLOCK ❤️

[tjlc-hellven]

How do you guys deal with real life people denying the romance, or being convinced that the baby exists?
