Me, with me best and oldest Con buddy, @thescienceofobsession.  I ran down to have lunch with her at @221bcon, and now I’m happy.

I love when I introduce friends and they become friends! Meghan and Erin are going out to dinner and I’m at home like a cool mom™️ and waiting to ask if they had fun.

Loving @thescienceofobsession‘s theory in the TPP TLD reaction episode that Eurus hired Moriarty! It rooted instantly for me.

So...if Moriarty took the case because it intrigued him and he thought Sherlock could come play with him, but he ended up foiled by Sherlock’s love for John -- Moriarty’s inability to get Sherlock to see John as a “thing,” an “ordinary one” or a “pet” instead of a person -- then Moriarty saw the loneliness of his own life and resolved the final problem by choosing death.

Sherlock’s friendship with John defeated Moriarty.

Eurus animated the image of the dead Moriarty to announce that she was coming for Sherlock and Mycroft herself.

Hmm.

Made it to my Airbnb for my last couple nights in Atlanta after 221bcon. I had a fantastic time and met some great people! See you next year! Thanks to @redmageshabet and @impossiblemonsieur for being the first ones to invite me to their table for lunch before con even started! I really appreciated being welcomed into the con community immediately after arriving! Thanks to @threepatchpodcast for an amazing time and being so friendly! @thescienceofobsession @smirkdoctor @headcumbernerd @unknownsister @emmagrant01 @avawatson @fffinnagain

Time for some fic recs! Because I don't want today to be ALL about complaining ;)

Last week I saw @alexxphoenix42's list of lyrical Johnlock fics and was mightily inspired (thanks!), but I had to wait awhile before I could comb through my bookmarks and put together a list of my own. Herewith:

Lyrical & Lovely Johnlock Fics

If Metal Had a Choice, by anarmydoctor, 2k, mature

"Sherlock has his heart in the throat when he says Take my hand, and the metal of their handcuffs shines proud and thankful, because that’s the instant, that’s the second, that’s the reason why if metal had a choice, its choice would be now and here."

The Overflow, by anarmydoctor, 2k, explicit

“And sex, our sex, you and I having sex, is just the dirty negotiation between your pace and mine, between your flow and mine sharing the same track, and when that happens, when we converge, then we are stronger, mightier than ever, we are a torrent, and that’s the point of no return, the overflow.”

The First Time...The Boys Were Well-Seasoned, by @atlinmerrick, 2k, explicit

"There's a first time for every thing, for every little thing." (This is one chapter of a longer work made up of stand-alone chapters.)

the thunder underneath his ribs, darcylindbergh (@watsonshoneybee), 6k, explicit

"Six or seven, maybe eight months later, there's a thunderstorm in London. Sometimes things have to fall apart before they fall together."

Rain-Bringer, by Moorishflower, 1k, explicit

"John is the oasis to Sherlock's desert."

it's always ourselves we find in the sea, by professorfangirl (lizeckhart), 3k, explicit

"Sherlock’s surprisingly strong, for all he’s so willowy. But John has a lower center of gravity, so the tussle hovers halfway to the bedroom door. John shakes his head, laughing. 'Dammit, Sherlock. Grow up.' (But he really doesn’t mean it. He doesn’t mean it at all.)"

Everything We Know of Love, by professorfangirl (lizeckhart), 3k, explicit

“Sherlock will keep watching him. John will keep catching him watching. And when at last Sherlock fixes his gaze as if he’d make John come on to him by the sheer force of his hazel-eyed will, John will be absolutely, sweetly, lovingly impervious. The knowledge that they’ll fuck is the one thing he can hide behind his eyes with perfect impunity and dole out on a need-to-know basis. And Sherlock desperately needs to know.”

Architectonics, by @thescienceofobsession, 1k, gen

"My sutures tell a story, if you read them correctly. It’s a bit like a palm, I suppose, or wrinkles in papery skin. Come close, and I’ll whisper it to you."

Fever of the Bone, by theumbrellaseller, 2k, explicit

"There are two-hundred-and-six bones in the human body. Sherlock can name them all."

Still I Shiver, by tweedisgood, 1k, explicit

"This is deadly danger. For him, as he casts off normality, respectability, a lifetime’s love of women: as he risks the wrath of God and the law. For me, as I let someone in at last. Reason, judgement, the balance of a fine mental instrument: all shot to pieces as I knew they would be."

Fic Prompt

Write a story in which your character was always female (if they’re male in canon), and are suddenly turned male.

I love the idea of this.  

There are so many positives:

Suddenly being able to go places alone without worry.

Suddenly being taller and stronger and more muscled.

No PMS.

No sexism.  (The sudden freedom would kind of go to your head.)

Not having to wear shirts!

Freedom from make-up and judgement based on appearance.

Peeing while standing up!!!

And negatives:

Your support group is awkward around you now, and other men don’t talk about feelings or bolster each other in the same way.

It is suddenly publicly (humiliatingly) obvious if you’re sitting around indulging in sexual fantasies.

The guy you were crushing on (OTP) has never shown signs of being GAY.

Suddenly the relationship you’ve been striving for has a huge and very negative social stigma.

Penetrative sex is suddenly much more labor-intensive and messy (not to mention the whole ‘what about shit’ thing).

People have expectations that you’ll be brave and stoic.  You get judged for expressing emotions.

I’m intrigued by the idea of merging a canon-gender character with someone who USED to be female and exploring it from the other-way-round.

What other issues do you think would come up?

Impetus 12000 words | explicit Sherlock Holmes/John Watson

“We going to do this properly, then?” “Properly?” Sherlock parrots, a coy little smile touching his mouth. John aims for aloof, licks his lips and poses, “Date, I mean. We’ve got a candle, wine…” “If that’s all that’s required for a date, I’d say we had our first at Angelo’s years ago.”

utter and heartfelt thanks to:

@lediona25, @thescienceofobsession, @appliedcontext and @victuuriplease for putting up with this utter DISASTER of words.

How Many Blogs Do You Follow?

I am just curious to know:

How many blogs do you follow?

How long have you been on Tumblr?

Do you follow blogs in just a few genres, or a wide variety?

I follow 662 blogs (whew!  no wonder I never get anything done).  

I've been on Tumblr for 20 months.

These blogs are primarily focused in a couple genres (Sherlock & related; a few that are Star Trek or Teen Wolf; a few that are straight-up gay porn)

[I want answers from EVERYONE!  Your fandom doesn't matter.  So:  answer and reblog, so I can get more data.]
