It’s intoxicating, and John has been studiously avoiding it, but he can’t shift away now it’s so near. Now Sherlock’s so near.

[aziraphales-library]

Hi Can I ask do you have any fics about Eden like Crowley and aziraphale in Eden thanks for help ❤️

Hello! We have a #garden of eden tag, and I’ve got some more fics for you now...

Standard Procedure by jenna221b (G)

“Lost another sword, have you?”

The angel huffed. “No.” He cleared his throat. “But I did forget something.”

“Oh?”

“My name.”

“Well, I can’t help you there, angel.”

Another huff. “No. I meant… I haven’t given you my name.”

Where All Your Dreams Turned Bittersweet by Run Im A Natural Disaster (T)

Crawly's first temptation was an accident.

Someone New by wyrmy (T)

Aziraphale has always thought of himself as not being good with people, as someone who didn't fit in. But when a serpent talks to him on the wall, he starts to wonder if that's necessarily true

The Sky and the Dawn and the Sun by AnonymousDandelion (G)

“Have you ever seen the dawn?” Aziraphale asked.

“Dawn?” Crawly repeated, blankly.

Judging from Crawly’s confused expression, the answer to Aziraphale’s question was a definite no; Crawly had not been in Eden for long enough to have witnessed daybreak.

“Well then,” Aziraphale said, “I simply must show you.”

Turn Your Face Toward the Sun, and the Shadows Fall Behind You by AkuChibi (G)

Get up there and make some trouble, Beezlebub said.

And that's just what Crawly does.

Touch by Thyra279 (G)

"Shall we sit down?"

"Huh?"

"Shall we, uhm, sit?" He mimes taking a seat to the best of his abilities on the now mostly-dry wall. The demon looks incredulous.

"What are you doing?"

"Really, Crawly, this was item iiv of chapter 1 of the memos. There were diagrams and everything." He plonks himself down, crosses his legs, and pats the wall by Crawly demonstratively with an outstretched arm. "You ought to try it, it relieves some pressure from your feet."

Eventually, the demon relents, folding in the many limbs of his body until one foot rests precariously on the edge of the wall, knee towards the sky, the other knee on the edge to allow his foot to dangle freely. The rest of his lanky body declines against his elbows, leaving his head to carry the heavy responsibility of looking utterly bewildered and his striking black wings to flap haphazardly behind them. "Like this?"

"Close enough," Aziraphale offers, politely. --- An angel and a demon carry on their conversation on a certain wall and get drenched. Aziraphale teaches Crawly how to sit. Sort of. Both are gagging... for some good conversation. Part 1 of my own headcanon of them getting to terms with Earth.

Hi, hope you’re doing well! I needed to jump in here cause I’m watching strictly rn and actor Caroline Quentin just did her little intro bit... at the globe!! Made me smile so much lmao #truly prophetic fic

somehow we have tapped into the greatest minds at the Beeb and predicted everything. either that, or they’re copying us?

i hope all Loosely Ballroom readers watching Strictly this year are having a grand old time, and all feel very generously about how fucking much we have fudged the format of the show so it makes for interesting reading. the imagined cries of “FRAUDS, FRAUDS!” genuinely keep me up at night sometimes. 

thank you for asking after us! we are doing very well, but one of our chapters has been ticking for a while now and we’ve become quite concerned about it. it’s a very spooky sort of tick........... though we have it on good authority the GO fandom, at large, are big spooky fans 🎃👀

[devoursjohnlock]

TFP - EURUS Holms is not real!

There is a woman pretending to be Sherlock’s sister, but how can he forget a sibling?

We don’t know, if there is a real sister of Sherlock and Mycroft, the explanation in TFP is not satisfying. If Mycroft was able to re-write Sherlock’s memories, what else did he manipulate? This would also imply, that he has more power over Sherlock, as we want to imagine.

Sherlock knows her as a blond women, that came to his flat a few weeks ago, pretending to be ‘Faith Smith’ and when he ‘picked up’ John at his therapist (without recognizing that it was the same person) – as EURUS she looks again different, acts different.

Is EURUS real and a missing Holms sibling or maybe one of Moriarty’s or Mycroft’s agents or even sent from Sherrinford, the real secret sibling?

We have seen her in 3 disguises before (Faith Smith, ‘E’xx the woman in the Bus, John’s new therapist) so we don’t know, how she really looks like.

As John points out in therapy, that she barely news Sherlock, she explains ‘Oh no, we met before, we spent a whole night together, it was lovely, we had chips…!

John’s jealous look – let me instantly think about Moriarty’s plan to ‘burn out Sherlock’s heart!

During her introduction to John, EURUS locks the door to the garden to ensure, that he can’t escape, but what is her motive to hurt or kill John?

‘Culverton gave me Faith original note, a mutual friend put us in touch…”

(Who was this mutual friend – was it MORIARTY???) Consulting criminal - it is his style to use others to separate John and Sherlock, like he used Irene Adler before.

At the same time, we get a proper connection to Moriarty, when Sherlock finds the ‘big one’, the real message that links to Moriarty, hidden on Faith original note!

What do we expect Sherlock to do, when he realizes, that Moriarty is behind it? – He knows that John is in danger and that he needs to protect John.

John is the only person, that knows the name ‘EURUS’ and about her disguises. Sherlock is still finding out about it, when he finds the hidden note.

We know, that she has a real gun – no tranquilizer – and that she really shoots at John.

If we look at the position she is holding the gun, I assume that she hits John somewhere in the shoulder or chest, so he might be heavily injured. (Please not one of his beautiful eyes…!!!)

We hear the shot and see the move of the firing pin, see gun smoke, so the creators want to make sure that we believe that it was a real shot!

I’m convinced that Sherlock found John badly injured, after he got shot. John needs to tell Sherlock before he is fainting, that it was Sherlock’s sister ‘EURUS’ who shot him and about her disguise, because John is the only person, that knows her name at the end of TLD.

John getting shot and survives is cannon in ‘The adventure of the three Garridebs’ Sherlock is panicking and takes care of him ‘It was worth a wound, it was worth many wounds, to know the depth of loyalty and love which lay behind that cold mask." This is what John writes in ‘The Strand’ after he got shot in the leg in the original ACD story.

I don’t think that the writers will miss the opportunity to show us Sherlock suffering about John’s life!!!

Sherlock needs to find a way to save John, therefore he uses his mind palace, to find the answer. (I already did a post about that, TFP – is Mind Palace, Sherlock’s coming out’.)

TFP is completely mind palace. Sherlock uses EURUS as his mirror, putting him to all the tests, He needs to find out more about himself and to confront himself with all necessary questions. Look at her, she is the female Sherlock!

She has the same brown curled hair, blue eyes and is playing violin.

Villains are always introduced from there backside in Sherlock, like EURUS in her cell.

So just start to think about EURUS as a tool Sherlock needs to discover his own being in his mind palace, she represents his cold, calculating, reflected and violent side.

Just listen to the taped EURUS information’s: ‘Why am I here? No one ever tells me. Am I being punished?’

‘There is no such thing as bad. Good and bad are fairy tales (? It always comes back to this when Moriarty is involved!) we have evolved, we touch emotional significance of which it is nothing more than a survival strategy of the pack animal. We have the condition to invest stability and utility (‘utility was used by Mycroft in HLV to describe Sherlock). Good isn’t really good, evil isn’t really wrong, blossoms aren’t really pretty - you are a prisoner of your own meat!’ - ‘Why aren’t you?’

– ‘I’m too clever’ that is definitely Sherlock speaking of himself – pure mind!

Remember: ‘Sentiment is a chemical defect, found on the losing side’ – Sherlock to Irene.

This is Sherlock’s moral code, how he had always seen the world, that he is too clever to be a prisoner of his own meat (heart). 100% brain without a heart, he is too clever to allow that emotions cloud his judgement- it is pure self-control and his protection.

We can see him struggle with himself about this many times, e.g. at the fire place in the THoB ‘I need to distract myself from feelings.. it is the fly in the ointment. the crack in the lens.’ In the green house scene in TAB, he repeats that, etc. 

Now he has his doubts, if this is the right strategy for live and for a good reason: He is in love with John and does not know how to express emotions, because he has never allowed himself to live through them before. So he needs to understand, needs to learn quickly.

So how can Sherlock who repressed his feelings his entire life learn to open up to John to let him see his warm heart behind his cold mask???

‘I am trying to help you. Helping someone is the best way you can help yourself.’  - EURUS in the taped information.

Sherlock solves cases - helping others is his strategy to help himself not to use drugs to cope with his isolation. But he hardly can accept to be surrounded by people, because he does not understand their feelings and is always insecure when they mention his lack of emotions. So he separated himself from his family, does not allow himself to have friends and is arrogant to all people around him to keep the distance, but this was going to change since John is in his life, he changed him, made it possible to open up a little bit.

Mycroft is the only family member that has regular contact with him. But Sherlock does not like his attention and surveillance, feels always in competition with his older brother. Mycroft pretended to worry about him constantly, but is cold, not a really loving brother figure. He monitors his mental state and Sherlock is somehow aware of that. He taught him this moral code once to protect Sherlock, but also protect his political career. Therefore he is reassuring, that Sherlock is observed, all the time.

But why? What is his motive? Maybe that Mycroft was remarkable, but if EURUS = Sherlock, he is incandescent, an era defining genius beyond Newton (?!?), clinically unique, was able to manipulate people since (S)he was 5 and is an adult now, so has now reached perfection in this. 

Is Mycroft jealous or afraid? Is this the reason he needs to control his younger brother?

John is different, he is the only person that accepts Sherlock for who he is, who knows him for real, who completely cares. This is why Sherlock deeply cares about him -  why he fell in love with him. John is selfless, does not judge, helps Sherlock to understand others around him and gives friendly advice when he was rude to someone without knowing. He saves him whenever necessary in every possible way, does not need to compete with him, kills a bad guy to protect him and is offering to die for Sherlock to protect him. John became Sherlock’s world, his new home – This for me represents pure love… (Without any sexual intention for now, only the longing, the fantasizing …)

So here we are again. Sherlock is at the fork of his path, he needs to find out, whom to follow in future, Mycroft (brain, calculating machine) or John (heart).

Stepping closer to the glass, EURUS tells him, that after REDBEARD (s)he could no longer feel the difference between laughing and crying. – So what happened, that was so life changing? – It must have been a real trauma, that changes a little kid like that…

Sherlock askes EURUS ‘Tell me what I don’t know.’ - ‘Touch the glass’

‘You are not used to being unsure… look at you, the man who sees trough everything is exactly the man that doesn’t notice, when there is nothing to see trough.’

There is no glass, there are no 2 different people… it is just Sherlock, he is in his mind prison, unable to escape. As the hands of Sherlock and EURUS touch, you can see, that he realizes that he is not confronted with his sister - he is confronted with himself.

EURUS is another part of his subconscious mind that knows everything, the hard drive is big enough to remember it all. It hits him and he is afraid because his subconscious mind is violent and attacks him, knocks him out – ‘Stop me killing him’.

EURUS = little girl on the plain = SHERLOCK

(Did some other posts on TFP before if you are interested, e.g. the little girl on the plain…)

Some things support this theory, e.g. there is no photo showing little EURUS in his mind palest after he is informed that she existed, no sign of her in Mycroft’s family movie…) She is not real!!! (Everything else is transport…)

When Sherlock got knocked down by EURUS, in parallel the complete prison is under alert (so clearly mind palace) – and the devil, the virus in the data (Moriarty) resurface, but most of the time as an image. Sherlock was always afraid of Moriarty, that’s why he did not allow himself to have feelings for John. When dream John realizes the voice, he is knocked out, too in parallel.

yeah thinking about it, I see where you’re coming from— rn it feels like anything that has a “mainstream” feel still ends up only being appreciated/seen by an already inclusive audience. Tho I’m interested in what you say about the timing thing— do you think any attempt to break through rn will be dismissed??

@jenna221b I had a strong feeling watching Star Wars the other night that had they gone through with Finn/Poe (which they were clearly back-peddling from, but also would never have gone through with in the first place) the general audience reaction wouldn’t have been that positive. I think there would have been wild backlash. Not even necessarily homophobic people, but from anyone who doesn’t live in ‘our’ world. On a mainstream level it would have been met with the opinion that it’s pandering to a small percentage of their audience. And that would have overshadowed any positive outcomes.

And I think this all stems from the extreme black-white way of thinking we’ve got going on at the moment, which doesn’t seem to be doing anyone any favours. We haven’t got room for nuanced discussion about anything, and that’s troubling and tbh totally useless. How are we going to progress if we can’t talk things through with people we disagree with? 

Anyway, my feeling is it’s not the right time because if they DID do it now I don’t think it would be helpful or progressive in the long run, because of the backlash it would be met with. And to me it doesn’t feel like it would sit comfortably. I think in general we have so far to go until we can get to a point where two men or two women being physically intimate in a hollywood film franchise such as Marvel or Star Wars would feel anywhere near close to normal. Picturing it now, if I was sat in a cinema watching Finn and Poe kiss, it a) feels wildly unrealistic and b) I would just be uncomfortable because I’d know that a large percentage of the people watching around me would be uncomfortable.. Does that make sense?

And it’s not just Hollywood. Looking back at TJLC with hindsight (which is always a wonderful thing) there’s no way we (general public) were ready for that. They never would have made Sherlock and John canon at that time, or even at this time, because we’re not ready for it. In theory I can picture it and it looks rosy, but in reality? I don’t see it at all. How do we GET there..? tbh I don’t know. I don’t know what the best approach is, softly softly or rip off the bandaid? Why don’t I feel like we’re anywhere close to being there? is it in my head or is it a justified feeling?!

“I don’t think the world is ready for the mainstream gay in...”

Not bad points, but I suppose my knee-jerk reaction is that we can’t sit on our arses waiting for things to just *organically* happen without intervention. There’s got to be at least some “throwing people in at the deep end” style representation, even if it can’t all be like that. (Does that make sense? I’m being slightly rambly)

@captainclickycat​ I agree, there has to be a break-through moment. It’s just a matter of when and how. If we do it now is it the right time, will it actually make a difference? Or will it cause more division? Is it helpful for queer people to see themselves on screen in a massive franchise film if the other strong reaction is negativity? will that lead to a more progressive society or just make things worse in the meantime? do the majority of people actually care either way? I don’t know. 

I always think of film and media as being the tool to shape a better world, to change opinions and introduce people to new ideas in a way that’s accessible to them. And I still think that, but I’m realising more and more that it’s such a delicate thing to get right. I’d love to know the answer..

50? ✨

50. What do you wish for yourself?

All I want is to be content in my day to day! I am so lucky that I get to do amazing things on a fairly regular basis but I truly do live for those experiences and I want to be able to wake up in the mornings and be excited for each day, not wishing away the time until my next fun adventure.

Send me these end of year asks!

Little stars to wish you a hopefully better day tomorrow ✨❤️ can’t wait to see you!!
