#sherrinford holmes

[randomnessoffiction]

For those wondering why I used a photo of Captain Hastings for Sherringford it's because Hugh Fraser played him in a Big Finish audio drama - and to my knowledge the only actor to actually play him.

[dearsholmes]

fun fact

Sherlock Holmes was originally "Sherrinford Holmes" with partner John Watson originally "Ormond Sacker"

since some cool facts got lost in the large block of text that was the original long post (<-link to the long post on here)

[buckingham-ashtray]

I swear I'm won’t even bat an eyelash if they don't canonlize johnlock in s5 cuz like yeah it’s “justice” but honestly who gives a toss if the show creators are such pussies they’re are too scared to show it on screen JOHNLOCK HAVE ALWAYS AND WILL ALWAYS BE TOGETHER but ISTG IF THEY JUST GIVE UP AND NOT EXPLAIN ALL THE S4 SKULLDUGGERY (pun intended, sue me) OR ONLY GIVE A SHIT ASS SIMPLE EXPLANATION I’M SERIOUSLY GOING TO - [redacted]

You are a time traveller.

After some terrible mishaps in the course of your wanderings through the past, you inadvertently change the flow of history. When you return to your original time, it's a different world from the one you left.

Politics, art, science, technology, each has deviated from the world you grew up in, often not for the better. You try time and time again to travel back in time and set things right, undo the damage you have caused.

After hundreds of attempts - victory! You end up returning to a present day that is almost exactly like the one you left.

Except the famous literary characters by Arthur Conan Doyle are called Sherrinford Hope and Dr Ormond Sacker. ** (This is really what Arthur Conan Doyle nearly called them, seriously.)

Chapter 1: Cloud of Fire

After the events at Sherrinford, Mycroft experiences intense scrutiny at work. As his position becomes increasingly precarious, he tries to investigate the source of the threat, but is thwarted at every turn. With his career and his mental health in shambles, can Mycroft open himself to a personal life he's been neglecting for decades?

I'm thrilled to finally be posting this, the longest thing I've ever written. It's been in the works for 2 years now and I'm delighted to put it out into the world. Thanks to @cumberbatchedandgatissmitten for the beta and cheerleading and to @keirgreeneyes for the stunning artwork.

I joined the @mystrade-reading-club when this was a short plot synopsis along the lines of "What if Mycroft got fired for what happened at Sherrinford?" and I couldn't be more grateful for the community of clever, kind, wonderful, generous people there. You are also funny AF and the reason my most used emoji is 😂.

Updates should be weekly on Fridays from here on out. If I tag you in the replies and you wish to be removed, let me know.

Headcanon time. I think Mycroft counts on that there is a possibility that he will end up in Sherrinford should his mind ever deteriorate in some way. His brain is too dangerous to unleash upon the world if he loses control of it.

I think he also fears that the drugs will ruin Sherlock's brain so he needs to be sent there. He knows that this would kill him, because he's like a wild animal that should not be caged.

Maybe Uncle Rudy had to go there before them. Maybe he is still there?

[luminoustico]

oooh, sherlolly soulmates au?

On his return from Sherrinford, Sherlock discovers Molly's name is on his wrist, and it is infuriating.

"I don't want a soulmate," he snarls, because he's petulant.

"Good, because I don't want you," she says while pulling her sleeve over the place where his name is on her wrist, because this time, she means it.

Give me a pairing, an AU setting, and I’ll write you a three-sentence fic!

Little artwork for in between before Undertale's Anniversary tomorrow requires specific themes.

Wanted to work on a proper own design for dear ol' Holmes for a while so here we finally go with that one x3

Honestly, apart from the hair and him being a bit more disheveled he's actually not that far away from the Sherlock Holmes we encounter in the books. I especially wanted to assure the eyes fit Doyles description. He talks about piercing eyes, later also grey eyes.

In the meantime in terms of the more sloppy hair and bad shaving I confess I got highly influenced by RDJ's depiction. While nobody in my eyes can stomp Ian Richardson from the throne of the most booktrue Holmes, I must say I really love RDJ's approach of a Holmes who doesn't give much of a shit about social rules while giving the character's obvious neurodiversity more room…..okay and the Boswell-fanservice….aaaalright the fact that I'm idolising RDJ himself a TINY bit might also be reason why I adore his Holmes XD

Although to be fair I think also some nuances of Henry Cavill slipped into my version I didn't quite intend I guess :P

Ah welp, in any case, I finally have my own design with which I am satisfied. Was a jaring way to here from that cringy bishi-version I did of the good man back in my teens XDDD

❧ RANDOM DIALOGUE (QUESTIONS) PROMPTS (2/?) ☙

➤ @curiosityshop asked: why do i have to apologize? - Mycroft!!!

  ❝Because, Mycroft, it's the right thing to do.❞ Molly spoke sternly, her hands on her hips. She was taking a huge risk talking to him like this, she knew it; but someone had to do it. And the last person he'd expect it from would be mousy Molly Hooper, the woman that was head over heels for his brother. He knew it, John knew it, Sherlock knew it—she didn't care WHO knew it any more, if she was honest. Her brows were arched in the middle, having none of it, ❝If you love those kids of yours, and you want to teach them something, it should be to apologize where appropriate. Especially when they know they've done wrong or in it.❞

[bardtiddies]

...Me. Me for real. This Jim/Sherr fic is going to be like, over 50k at this point.

❧ tloz: tears of the kingdom starters ☙

➤ @curiosityshop asked: ❝ sitting here feeling sorry for myself won’t solve anything. ❞ - Mycroft!!!

   ❝That's new,❞ Molly spoke aloud, pretty much blurted. Shite, that wasn't meant to come out of her mouth, that was just meant to be a thought! Clearing her throat, Molly attempted to correct herself, ❝I mean—you hardly let anyone know what you're feeling. You and Sherlock are very similar like that, you know. Sentiment and things like that aren't an area you two often get into.❞ A shrug of her shoulders, and she's walking to put the kettle on.

   ❝Those kids think the world of you, you know.❞ She idly spoke, preparing some cups of tea. An impromptu visit from Mycroft Holmes was terrifying in itself, and it didn't half shit her up when she walked into her flat to find him sat on her sofa. ❝I don't know if it's to do with them, but—I'm just saying.❞

[bardtiddies]

God let me add Sherr to this because I have IDEAS.

Sebastian and Jim end up with an understanding of dress code. Sometimes he sucks it up and wears them when he needs to.

But when they recruit Sherrinford? HOO BOY. He fights harder against wearing a suit than Sebastian did. He casually misplaced it, forgets to wear it, etc. Jim eventually tells him if he doesn't wear a suit when he asks, he will prance them up to the Holmes family and play a horrible game of 'meet the parents' that he says "would make Sherrinford regret his defiance".

Probably helps a little too that when he caves and wears them, Jim offers a lot of praise and gets very handsy with him.

Fanfics I Really Liked in July 2024

So. Since I keep a list of what I´ve read anyway (there´s always a list), I will rec all the fics I´ve wholly enjoyed on a monthly basis. Old and new, canon or AU, big or small authors, long or short but nearly always Johnlock (-ish).

+++++

People We Love by Calais_Reno @calaisreno

After the disaster at Sherrinford, the rebuilding begins.

As it says, a post-S4 fix-it. Several conversations between the main characters that have been well overdue.

The Rescuing by BakerTumblings @bakertumblings

Captain Watson to the rescue! Sherlock, off in Serbia, has been captured and severely injured. Mycroft recruits John to aid with freeing him and then overseeing his recovery. The story begins in London but will explode in Serbia, slide into a European hospital and then tiptoe through a safe-house before returning to Baker Street.

Medical realism. I love a caring doctor John!

Explicit by 7PercentSolution @7-percent

“Sex doesn’t alarm me.” Five times Sherlock tries but fails to avoid talking about sex, and one time when he succeeds but shouldn’t have. Each of the stories relates to one of the times in my universe when sex became a topic of conversation.

Lots of insights into this Sherlock's brain concerning his stance on sex. Locked to AO3.

Heart's Desire by 88thParallel (CanadaHolm) @88thparallel

Reeling after a tragic loss, John Watson is surprised when he finds love again. After a lifetime of illness, Sherlock Holmes finally feels his heart truly beat for another. But as they move toward something more serious, an unbelievable truth is revealed that threatens to break both their hearts for good.

Such a moving AU story! Medical realism and sort-of soulmates.

The Guarded Secret by mycapeisplaid @mycapeisplaid

After his war injury, John feels broken, small, and useless. On a whim, he takes a position as a security guard of sorts at the gorgeous Holmes Hall in Yorkshire. As it turns out, he is not as broken, small, or useless as he thinks. A story of beauty and blossom, murder and mystery, loss and love.

A great AU based on "The Secret Garden".
