#why does herlock do that? in my mind there are two reasons

[the-great-rat-attorney]

one thing i really like about herlock (as a proper sherlock holmes adaptation) is that he chessmasters so much of what happens - he clearly manipulates ryuu into doing this, and ryuu goes from "i don't care much about the tour for myself but it's too sad that susato can't go" to "i will become a lawyer. i have to" within like three minutes.

it just happens that he is manipulating people with the absolute best and kindest intentions and that he personally likes outcomes that benefit everyone, but as the original holmes says, it is fortunate for the community that he's not a criminal.

Confessing to fem. Herlock sholmes

A/n:One of the first characters I wanted to do a genderbent post about without being requested to was herlock sholmes cause he's one of my favorite characters ever. Credit to mi_zu_no on Twitter for the art, and sorry if it's cropped weird since originally it was of all of the main cast genderbent

I'll change herlock's name to Harley

Being the great detective's partner was....an experience, while you certainly didn't expect her to be so...eccentric to say the least, you couldn't deny that those quirks of her didn't make her fun to be around. you also noticed that you two made a pretty great team when it came to solving cases. Overall living with her was a great experience, and maybe you had started seeing her in a way different than just a friend.

Little did you know that Harley had started seeing you in that way too but too scared to confess never acted out on her feelings, something that iris didn't fail to notice

"Harley, we need to talk"

"What is it, dear iris?"

"Do you like y/n....romantically?"

The detective fell down in surprise before quickly getting up

"Whatever makes you say that?"

"I mean, it's pretty obvious. You're always ranting about how amazing he is and how handsome he looks, to be honest I'm surprised he didn't notice"

"I see my detective skills must have rubbed off on you, my dear girl. You are indeed correct. He has taken my heart"

"Then why don't you just tell him?"

"And there lies the issue! you see telling him would be very risky, what If he doesn't feel the same, I couldn't look at him again if he rejected me"

"I'm sure he does too. Have you seen how he looks at you when you're together?"

"I actually didn't pay particular attention to where his eyes looked, probably because I was too lost in them ahahaha"

"......You're hopeless sometimes Harley"

"Why yes, hopelessly in love"

"Hey girls, what are you talking about?"

"Oh hi n/n, Harley here was saying-"

"Nothing you should take note of, my dear fellow. More importantly, I could sense my great detective's instinct tingle when you walked in here do you have something to tell me perhaps?"

"I see you're as observant as ever, indeed I came here to tell you-"

"Hush! I thought you'd learned by now, my good friend, that once the train of reasoning has started, it cannot be stopped. Now sit back for you will have the pleasure to witness Harley sholmes logic and reasoning spectacular"

".....really?"

"Don't we usually do this together?"

"Indeed but today you will be the victim of the great detective's deduction, so shall we start?"

Harley started to dance around you as usual

"First of all, we must notice you have quite the red complexion on your face, and I don't think it's something coincidental either. It's clearly something coming from deep in your body"

"W-well-"

"Secondly, I see that on your face. Not only is a red hue but also some water dripping down your forehead, do you mind explaining why you're sweating on a London winter evening, my dear fellow?"

"Alright I guess I should tell you i-"

"There is no need for words, for I have already deduced everything...... you have come here to tell me you were sick and had a fever"

"............"

"............"

"I see you two are too stunned to speak"

"That's....one way to put it"

"*sighs* You're just as great as always, Harley, but you're wrong. I'm fine but I did want to tell you something"

"Go ahead then, I trust no one else but my great partner to correct me"

"Well, the reason why I was so red and sweaty was because I was very nervous it's not the first time I feel like this around you, but today especially I really needed to tell you why: .......Harley I think I love you

"Ah I see, that was my second id-.....WAIT WHAT DID YOU SAY?"

The blonde woman fell in a comical way much like before, but got up quickly and looked at you with her usual smile and a slight blush on her face

"Pardon my yelling but that was a very surprising revelation you had there"

"Yeah, sorry if you don't feel the same but you're just so beautiful and smart not to meet incredibly fun to be around, you always put a smile on my face. I just needed to get that off my chest sorry"

"No need to apologize y/n for I think.....I may feel the same"

"Really?"

"Why yes, you're handsome, kind and can match my intelligence and.... admittedly hard to deal with personality, I would be a fool not to accept your confession"

"Oh, thanks so much, I suppose now I'm the great detective's partner in more ways than one"

"I couldn't have said better myself my dear now how about making our relationship official with a kiss"

She wrapped her arms around you and pulled you into a deep and passionate kiss

"That was great"

"I couldn't agree more"

"Oh, that was wonderful. I'm so happy for you two. I must start writing the manuscript for next month's issue, the readers are gonna love a romance plot"

"And this calls for celebration, I'll get my violin and play a sweet melody for our love"

"I'm sure it will be great I love you Harley"

"I love you too my dearest"

IDK IF I COUNT AS A MUTUAL BUT PLEASE INFORM ME ABT THE AU YOU SPEAK OF,,,,, I’m running out of writing ideas (lie)

basically it's a teen-sitcom-style modern au. title is a work in progress but i've been thinking of writing out myself bc i just think it would be really funny

tankoubon kinda thing with a backing plot [when will the gays get together] but it's mostly just banter: the novel

ages are. idk yet but susato is probably early to mid teens and kazuma/ryuunosuke are late teens [they're deaged bc the 7 year age difference would mean either susato is super young or asoryuus are too old for funnie teen shit]

protag/pov chara is susato bc i think it would be funny. the story starts at some sorta out-of-context asoryuu bit and the whole "freeze. let's rewind to the ACTUAL beginning" thing happens

[exposition below]

a few weeks ago kazuma came back from school after the speech competition he was preparing for for a while. he is absolutely livid. sorta at everything, mostly himself bc he flubbered up the last bit and "Will Forever Bear The Shame On His Shoulders" [basically normal canon]

he starts ranting about how his "guaranteed win" is now no longer guaranteed ["oh that's a shame you're very clear and reasonable about your opinions" "ik susato but let me finish"] and that instead of him some... guy ended up getting the lead instead

this. didn't make him mad actually. he just felt really intense during the whole thing

like yeah he had a good speech and the way he spoke was pleasing to listen to. he has a smooth way of speaking that goes really nicely over the ear. but seriously? he would've totally done better if he didn't fuck up

so then he's like "there is something about him that's sticking out to me and it bothers me because he is [quite literally] SO boring. he bothers me so much and every time i pass by him i have this urge"

"to what?"

"to... i don't know. i think i hate him"

cue susato internal facepalm. "maybe talk to him about it"

"yeah i'll give him a piece of my mind"

and cue next day after school where he does the stupid "why do you speak like that" and ryuu even stupider goes "it's a hobby. speaking fast" and they instantly gel and kazuma never brings ryuunosuke up to susato again until he suddenly comes to their house

to kazuma it's cool bc ryuunosuke wants to see his sword or w/e hey look susato SOMEONE thinks i'm not clinging onto old hopes

but susato is like. "isn't this the guy you wanted to maim and kill two weeks ago"

back to the present. that's all i have down that's clear

i imagine that susato and rei would have regular talks about random things. school, home, other friends, kazuma. eventually this distant fruitiness will ping into susato's head and she'll bring it up to rei

this starts a tumbling snowball where as asoryuus develop more and susahaos keep chitter chattering kazuma and susato realise they gave the gay to each other

they always had suspicions about the other but never themselves

kazuma probably figures it out first though and after that susato is like "shit maybe i do like rei" and then is like "but i'm not a pretty bishounen charmer! how will we ever be more than friends" and pov Susato Goes Masc [ryuutarou]

i literally have no idea what to do with ryuutarou but i'll figure it out

other funny things to include:

ryuunosuke has archery club outside of school on weekends and falls asleep with the guard on hence why he wears it all the time

karuma still exists and is old as balls. idk if kazuma still carries her around all the time bc i don't think you can wave big swords around school hallways [regardless on its family heirloom status] so it's probably in his room somewhere perfectly cared for and regularly used for training

this is 70% of the reason why he has no friends [he is feared or made fun of this is a 50/50 divide]

susato is still a devout fan of herlock sholmes, legendary british detective who is still alive bc yuujin is. there'll probably be a chapter where he comes to [country] and she's super excited and gets her books signed while ryuunosuke casually goes "oh yeah we're good friends he stumbled upon us when asougi passed out" and yuujin is super super casual with sholmes and yeah her dad fucked herlock sholmes

"were all those business trips to the UK because you were fornicating with mr. sholmes answer me honestly"

lastly i imagine asoryuus and susahaos share the same link about super Super gay best friends [ryuu and rei] and their oblivious partners [kazuma and susato]

that's all i have planned. susato would be a wingwoman but honestly kazuma seems fiery enough to stumble into this whole thing by accident and make a whole plan on how to maximise ryuunosuke time bc "the intense feeling hasn't gone away and i need to look through things further" and oh. ohhhhh it's because- pov relationship blossoms.

susahaos are a little more blurry but i want to make them important too it is GUARANTEED [literally susato is the protagonist]

yeah

Ok, so: for munday, and because we a) talk about it a lot, and b) are way too fucking many in here, have a more or less comprehensive list of the people sharing Fae’s mindspace.

We’ll focus on the most active ones, and give a brief explanation of their personalities and/or behavior, so you guys can identify them easily (or at least so you’ll have less trouble knowing who’s who).

If you have any questions whatsoever regarding any of us, or how we work as multiples, feel free to ask today.  Now, without further ado, the list:

1- Amanda: yes, the one from Saw. -1000/10 DO NOT ENGAGE when in a bad mood (if she’s out she’s probably in a bad mood). Very useful for critical situations, but has gotten us in trouble repeatedly. Will argue with anyone, regardless of how close they are to Fae. Otherwise nice, can be cool if she’s calm and somehow out. 2- Claire: an “OC”, so to speak. Fun, but loud and outspoken. Gay as hell, has two wives and three kids.Sometimes age-slides to her 16 and 6 year old self, is still very funny and very, very gay. Liverpool accent she WILL try to hide. Loves football (soccer), punk music, and messing around with the occult. Not human, even though she looks it. Last name Constantine. Has a twin. Said twin is evil.

3- Mara: aforementioned twin. The Devil herself. Also age-slides, isn’t as funny as her sister. Former ballerina, broke her leg in three places, cannot dance anymore, and is very bitter about it. Seems to lose everyone she cares for. Also not human, a little more evident in her than in Claire. One of the most sexual peps in here, we also recommend not engaging.

4- Alyssa: Sweet angel, too pure for this world, too good. We don’t know what she’s doing here. Mara’s best friend, also a ballerina, but she still can dance. Also not human, also doesn’t really look it. Beautiful, though. Again, too pure to even exist.

5- Becky: dear Miss Albright. Voice of reason, will go down with this ship if needed. Only other latina in this head, aside from Fae. Nicknamed “Freckles” and “Miss Morbid”. Ask about her Quince Años, we beg you. Can be easily confused with Fae and doesn’t mind. Too outspoken and too damn angry all the time. Will debate with you. Will also smack you with her cane, if she brought it. 10/10 would be lost without her.

6- Eddie: Rarely comes out unless needed (or to do Fae’s makeup because apparently he likes that?) He/him -they/them. Only male presenting person in this body with 0 issues with periods (bless him). Will make people around Fae feel stupid and enjoy it. Calls Fae “my/our girl” or “the kid” all the damn time and can get away with it.

7-Harley: yes, THAT Harley. Built-in mom who sucks at it but still does a better job than the actual mother. Impulse control on negative numbers. Makes friends easy, and normally is the first to make contact with new people. Gives us a hangover if she’s out for more than 3 hours at the time. TOO MUCH ENERGY HOW DOES SHE EVEN DO IT?! 

8- Nidia: we call her Di. Also age slides (4, 9, 16 and 25). Is a jedi somehow. Alice, Tári and Robin’s mom, Claire’s daughter. Super chill, super funny. Loves dancing and making people laugh. Fae’s ADHD personified, apparently...

9- Alice: Claire’s granddaughter. Also changes age. Adult Alice is a psychiatrist. Little Alice wants to take over the world and speaks in a very squeaky voice. Openly tells Fae’s mother she hates her. Basically the kid doesn’t give a damn about anything ever. Adorable, though.

10- Robin: Alice and Tàri’s baby sister. Turned 6 last December. Very affectionate and caring. Will ask for hugs and share her toys with anyone. The only one who likes Fae’s mom. Has known she’s gay since she was 4, is very open about it. Wants to be prince charming when she grows up, so she can get to kiss a pretty princess.

11- Tàri: if Di’s Fae’s ADHD, Tàri is her autism. Smart, focused, loves Lego, Star Trek, S/herlock H/olmes in any format, reading, and is very interested in forensics. Shares a passion of taxidermy with Becky. Goes from age 13 to age 26. Was born here on the creepiest day of our lives, loves to tell the story. Spends a lot of time with Ed.

12- Sally: Lisbeth, nicknamed Sally because we have 0 sense of self preservation. Also would not engage unless she speaks first. Actually very nice, will probably kill us for typing that on here. Dry, somewhat cold. Very direct. If she’s out, you’ll know. Trust us.

13- Evey: anyone here plays O/v/erwatch? Ok, good. Take Tr/acer’s punk skin, and give her J/unk/rat’s personality. That’s Evey. Rarely ever comes out, but she’s actually amazing. Like Harl, has lots of energy and is very extroverted. We don’t know how.

14- Hellena: Evey’s sister. Veeeery complicated story. Evil Snow White, basically. Mara’s daughter.

15- Christine: Hell’s non identical twin. Like Alyssa, too damn pure for this system (and this world). AHS’ M/isty Day, but even nicer.

16- Cassandra: also DC’s. Cain. Age slides as well (5, 9, 16, 20 ish). The youngest ones can’t speak well, and often make up words. Freaking loves the color yellow. Plays a game in which she punches you at the sight of a yellow car. Any yellow car. Really likes the color yellow, guys.

18- Frances: she’s Harley’s. also the first sub-system we’ve ever had here. Don’t know her exact age, but it’s somewhere between 17-21. Generally very sweet.

19- MJ- Has been here as long as Harley has. We could argue she’s Built-In Mom #2. Rarely out, but a lot of fun when she is. Very noticeable personality.

20- Ascella: Precious baby, has done nothing wrong in her life. Witch. Very stereotypical witch, at that. Very artsy and stylish. Has a twin brother (we have a lot of those here, it seems). Gay as fuck. Looks like Poe wrote her. Also rarely out.

21- Orion: Ascella’s twin brother. Also very stylish and artsy, but much more social than his sister. Also very very gay. Barely ever out.

22- Bella: DO NOT ENGAGE. EVIL AND WILL HURT YOU. Followed Claire here. Constantly abuses her, along with her husband and friends (not in this system, bless). We’ve tried getting rid of her, but to no avail.

23- Jamie: Also evil and will also hurt you, but only if she deems it necessary/doesn’t like you/has something to gain from it. Otherwise very nice, and very charming. Also spends a lot of time with Eddie. We fear the day she gets to Lindsay (Becky, in particular).

24- S/herlock: the elementary iteration of the character. We don’t know how or why he got here, but we’re glad he did.

25- Sophie: Eddie’s and Tári’s. Very carefully planned. Ed’s logic was that two very smart people were bound to have a very smart child. We don’t know if it’s nature or nurture, but it’s working so far.

26- Vlad: they/them. Very reserved and quiet, often bonds with people over music. Really digs fantasy literature and some videogames. Valentina’s child. Loves kiwi birds (raises kiwi birds. Has one called Mango)

27- Lindsay: ok, you probably know her by now. More talkative than you’d expect. Morbid sense of humor. Loves horror films (films in general, please talk to her about films) and photography. Has scheduled the last 2 tattoos. Impulse control only in check due to her anxiety. Petty and jealous as hell. Very active lately because she’s getting used to being here.

28- Fae: Owner of the place (or at least we let her think so). Our baby, our child. Hates it when we call her “our child”, or “the kid”. Most of us call her “the kid”. Not as calm and quiet as she seems, but not as outspoken and wild, either. Oddly enough, is very rarely out on her own, and very few people really know her. Still thinks she’s 17/18. Slowly getting better.
