A Study in Shoelace: Johnlock (Soulmate AU) Chapter 1: The Louboutins of Homosexuality (Part 1/4)

Well well well

I forgot I had tumblr, so I’m crossposting one of my creations from my ao3 and wattpad. 

this is absolutely unserious in every sense

Summary: This is a universe where soulmates are connected by the Red Shoelace of Fate. This means that your shoelaces can only be tied by your soulmate, and vice versa. ------------- After nearly giving up on finding his soulmate, the kind and patient old Dr. John Watson was met with him: Sherlock Holmes. But what he didn't expect was that his partner would be completely incapable of one of the most basic human tasks: tying a shoelace.

John Watson, currently on his way to meet his new flatmate at St. Bart's with his pal Mike, had long given up on untangling his Red Shoelace of Fate. The brisk British wind nipped at his ears as the hospital came into view. Watson was especially anxious today, especially since he noticed a change in his red shoelace of fate: it was less tangly than usual. Velcro Sketchers tight, the Doctor braced himself for his meeting. 

The Red Shoelace of Fate, something as old as time itself, is magically attached to your pinky toe until you meet your cosmically prescribed soulmate. The Red Shoelace of Fate's conditions are that only your true soulmate can tie your shoes. You can't tie your own shoes, your mom can't tie them, no one can tie your shoes except for your soulmate. This meant that the act of tying each other's shoelaces was quite intimate. Most people still looking for their soulmate just wear slip-on or velcro... unless they don't care about publicly flaunting their horrible romantic loneliness by walking around with untied shoelaces. 

Watson limped into the hospital lab with Mike behind him, and saw that at the back of the lab stood a lanky, pointy man meticulously squeezing chemical drops from a pipette onto a Petri dish. The strange tall science man glanced at Watson only to return to ignoring him.

"Mike, can I borrow your cellphone?" stranger science man asked.

"Can't you use the landline?" said Mike

"I prefer texting," the stranger replied 

"sorry, I don't have it on me right now"

Kindly, Dr. Watson offered, "you can use mine-- here" as he handed his very own Nokia to the strange man. 

"Er, thank you," science man said.

Watson and Mike stood as Mystery Chemist pecked away at the keyboard.

"Watson," mike started, "this is an old friend of mine. Sherlock." 

Misguided Dr. Watson gave a friendly nod to Sherlock expecting the man to return the cordial gesture.

"Afghanistan or Iraq?" Sherlock asked John plainly. 

"Er... sorry?" John turned his head to look at Mike for guidance. But Mike just stood there with a smug grin on his face. John couldn't do anything except stand there with a confused look for a second. Who the hell was this guy?

"Which was it?" Sherlock asked again.

"Afghanistan, but how'd you guess?"

Just then, a Mystery Lab Coat Woman walked into the lab and toward Sherlock with a mug.

"Ah, thanks for the coffee, Molly," Sherlock said to her. Sherlock scrutinized her pale, thin face in a way that made it blatantly obvious to Dr. Watson that this strange man before him didn't welcome the embrace of women. Watson took this opportunity to study his new acquaintance, but when he glanced at his lower body he noticed that Sherlock was wearing vintage Louboutin loafers that were MESSILY UNTIED, and-

"CHRIST ON A STICK!" John shouted in surprise. Sherlock's Red Shoelace of Fate was connected straight to his own. "I didn't think I fancied men."

John watson was about to pass out from the realization of his previously unidentified homosexual inclinations. "Th- uh... I -- ah... .the red shoelaces...!" watson exclaimed

"Oh yes, the shoelaces. I always thought they were more of a scarlet than true red. Well, here's your phone-"

"Sorry, I'm just trying to process this." Watson croaked.

"Oh, I've known for a while, Doctor. A few years ago, I used the exact coordinates of various points of my Red Shoelace of Fate to determine the relative direction of my possible shoemates. From there, I narrowed it down using personal data gathered from Scotland Yard files and online files I could track down... you look even older in person, John. And there are quite a few confidential records on your achievements, too. Quite extraordinary." Sherlock said this with a straight face, and this made John Watson's blood pressure drop out of even more shock.

"Seeing as we're potential flatmates, I should ask how you feel about the violin" Sherlock said to John. But John didn't hear because he was busy trying not to pass out. It was all just too much- newfound gayness, the Red Shoelace of Fate being connected to a man who was some kind of stalker, how did this man even get to the topic of being flatmates? No one had mentioned it so far. Mike must've told Sherlock earlier.

Sherlock took pity on Watson and explained, "It's embarrassingly easy to read your face, Doctor. I deduced that you were a potential flatmate not because Mike told me, but because of a conversation we had at a Moroccan bar back in 2003. I remembered th..................." but John Watson's anxious blood pressure got the better of him as he crumpled onto the laboratory floor.

Depending on where you're located and how much time you have, take a trip to some thrift/vintage stores. There's a vintage store near my house that always has really nice brand name hiking boots and they're always way too small for me (I wear an 8.5,9 and usually they're like 7 or so.

I have a really nice pair of 3M steel toed waterproof boots that I love for fieldwork, highly recommend if they come in your size. I bought them used from a thrift store so idk what sizes they come in or anything like that, but it might be worth checking out 3M's website to look for your size. And that goes for any shoe manufacturer, they'll have a wider range of sizes online than in stores.

I also have a pair of women's sketchers hiking boots that have served me well in the field, but they're not steel toe. Since they're women's, they probably come in much smaller sizes.

I think someone else already replied to ask if it was a requirement for the school or not, and if it's not a requirement, these are sketchers equalizers and they have ankle support, deep treads (I'm currently wearing them for better traction on the Alaskan ice), and I pulled an inch-long cactus spine out of them that I didn't even notice or feel (probably not a problem you'll have in Italy but it speaks to their durability).

Hi, I'm going to be doing a dig school in Italy in a few months, and I've been trying to find a good pair of steel-toed boots. I'm transmasc, and my feet are really small (6.5), so I can't really wear men's shoes, and it's really hard finding quality women's work boots, ESPECIALLY with a steel toe. Do you have any recs?

My own boots are Timberlands, which are basically the same in women's as they are in men's, but they don't have steel toes. Is this a requirement for your field school, or can you get other boots? I know plenty of working archaeologists who don't wear steel toes.

But there is also absolutely a market for women's steel toed boots out there. If any of my followers want to chime in with their own boot recommendations, please do!

@archaeo-geek and @archaeologysucks as two working professionals I wonder if you have any advice?

if you had to rebuild your closet from scratch what would you pick ? aka what are your Clothing Essentials :0

I'd start with a pair of white tennis shoes and a pair of black ballet flats, that's all I need for shoes tbh. Keds and börns with a bow. I also love white sketcher d'lights with pink details

honestly these days theres nothing I love more than a pleated skirt, Id want a plaid one (ideally dark green mix) and a black one, high waisted with lots of volume, short but not micro. Also a tight little black athletic skort.

A pair of wide leg pants, canvas or denim. Probably one that's more work wear inspired, like the chef pants from meals, and another pair of seriously baggy blue jeans. Like the agolde 90s I currently love, with big holes in the knees.

A white pointelle Tshirt from Leset, and a shrunken white baby tshirt like the madewell Northside vintage.

An oversized baby pink alpaca sweater from Everlane. could also be beige, charcoal, lavender or grey. Also a fair aisle ski sweater for cold months.

A big tote bag, my favorite is the caraa fractus metallic in the icy silver/pink color way. I also love a mini backpack.

Multiple high quality cotton hoodies or crewnecks for lounging. also wide leg pajama pants.

that last post for Real there are so many toys I had growing up I know I couldnt have today bc of thrift shop scalpers. the majority of my things as a kid came from goodwill and I know that there was no other way I could've had the things that made me happy to be a child. lalaloopsy sets were 20 bucks a pop for like A doll and her pet but a lady sold me and my mom a gallon ziploc bag filled with the little dolls and several pets and accessories her kid didnt want anymore with chipped paint and broken arms for the same price. I bought a mary kate and ashley VHS for 50 cents at goodwill because I was obsessed with them but since they weren't popular anymore everything I could get of them came from the library or the thrift store unless my mom was willing to pay exuberant costs for decades old tapes and books. sketchers wholesale were nearly 60 bucks a pair for CHILDRENS decorative shoes (colorful, bright, you know like how a child likes) but goodwill had them for ten a pair bc a rhinestone fell off or simply some kid out grew them. if thrift shop scalpers were as prevalent as they are now when I was a child I would not have had a childhood. and now in the age of putting a tablet or phone in every toddler's hands, the lower class children are also robbed of toys. when you buy a model or a figure in a thrift shop to resell for at least thrice the price as vintage or oldschool or fucking y2k core to some grown adult or collector you are literally taking toys from a child's hands. you are stealing candy from a baby. you deserve prison time if you are a thrift store scalper and I do not mean that lightly.
