Domestic life at 221b.

Apparently, there’s a new inhabitant in 221 ... a cat.

one of holmes and watson's love languages is lighting each other's cigarettes. our victorian husbands will use any excuse to touch each other's hands inside or outside 221b 😌

"'l'homme c'est rien. l'oeuvre c'est tout" translated to english is "the man is nothing. the work is everything." this is so true for holmes in many aspects of his life, but there is and always will be one man who is everything to him

John, I might be home a bit later than planned. Minor delay—nothing worth worrying about. Entirely unremarkable.

What happened?!

There is nothing like returning to the warmth of home after an extremely exhausting case. Home, sweet home.

This is my gift to the sweet @221beloved and her lovely ficlet 'Favourite Scent', for @flufftober 2024 that you can find here 🩷

23rd April 2025

Today, we celebrated John's 54th birthday. We invited Molly, Lestrade, and Stamford to join our celebrations. Mrs. Hudson baked a chocolate cake, John's favourite. It also happens to be my favourite. John received many gifts, including a hand-painted cup from Rosie and a crocheted jumper from Mrs. Hudson. Together with Lestrade and Molly, we created a scrapbook of the cases I solved with John as our gift. John was overjoyed, which pleased me. A successful birthday party.

“The word you’re looking for is ‘transitioned’,” Sherlock snapped at the new crime scene tech, who was clearly as opinionated as he was ignorant.

“Huh?” challenged the moron. Moronically.

“‘Transgender’ is an adjective,” John chipped in. “Like ‘gay’ or ‘black’. You wouldn’t describe Elton John as ‘gayed’, would you? Or Idris Elba as ‘blacked’?”

“He might,” muttered Sherlock, squinting at the piece of debris she’d retrieved from the victim’s pocket.

“If someone moves from living as one gender to living as another, they are said to have ‘transitioned’,” John persevered, with the air of one who is more than happy to escalate should a verbal defence of his flatmate prove ineffective. “‘Transgendered’ is not a word. Any more than ‘gayed’ is. Got it?”

The moron opened his mouth.

John looked at him.

The mouth closed.

“Good,” said John.

“How is it so simple for you, to accept me as a girl?” Sherlock demanded moodily, as the cab took them home. “I’m not exactly a model of femininity.”

John shrugged. “Well, my default is to respect people, so that’s a good start,” he dissembled, turning to the window.

But the moment was there in front of him… Did he dare?

He swallowed, heart beating in his throat, but courage had never been John Watson’s weakness.

“And I’ve never been attracted to boys.”

So, there's a book... I wrote a series of three 221Bs for this book. This is the first.

The two sequels, together with several other stories investigating What would the Great Detective be like if Sherlock Holmes was a woman?, you can find here:

or at any online dealer.
