#Cucumber BBC

[tisforpterodactyl]

today i’m thinking about john telling mary about his days with sherlock, about bart’s the day they met, about running through the streets of london handcuffed to one another, about the baskerville case and about that night at the pool, about dinner at angelo’s in the middle of their first case together. i’m thinking about mary laughing with him and saying, “you know, i’m starting to think you were in love with him before i came along” and john just goes very, very quiet.

Have been (un)shockingly bad at these lately...

So here's a reasonable Ben Addict Cucumber Patch for now 👇

Sherlock Christmas Card Exchange - 2024 Edition

Dear all,

it's that time of the year again! You know the drill by now. Join us for some lovely holiday fun amid the most hectic time of the year. Not fandom-exclusive, read more below.

❤️

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

This is the “official” copy-cat post of this year’s exchange. It’s heavily inspired by the original blog and doesn’t intend to take over or imitate it in any disrespectful way. Rather, it’s a homage to the wonderful exchanges of the past years.

WHAT

Originally it started as a Christmas card exchange in the Sherlock fandom some years ago. Lovely people sent seasonal greetings to other lovely people all over the world cheering up their often stressful and exhausting pre-Christmas period. As time has gone by, I know the Sherlock fandom has been put into a sort of coma and people found other fandoms. That’s why this isn’t an exclusive Sherlock event, but an overall-lovely-people-providing-Christmas-spirit-and-we’re-just-keeping-the-name-for-traditional-reasons-exchange. You want to send and receive Christmas post? You’re in! 💌

WHEN

Register until Wednesday, 4th December 2024.

Exchange begins at Fridays, 6th December 2024.

HOW

Send me your name, postal address and any internet handle you want to add (tumblr, twitter, Instagram, etc.) to sherlock-xmas-exchange at outlook.com.

After I’ve received all your information I’ll create a PDF file and send it to all participants. Then you can immediately start writing, creating and sending Christmas mail to your heart’s content.

RULES

1. All information on the list you’ll receive is confidential and not to be sent or shown to anyone else.

2. Send at least one card to the person below you on the list.

3. Be friendly, cheery and nice to each other. :)

Disclaimer: If you register, you agree to be willing to share some of your personal data (name, address, email and/or social media handles) with other people taking part in this Christmas cards exchange. All data will be treated confidential by me and not be made public. I am, however, not responsible, nor am I capable of checking what any third parties (other participants) do with the data.

I’m tagging everyone who was interested and/or has participated in last year’s exchange. If you want to be removed just drop me a line.

Hey, hey, pssssst. Ever wanted to see the Con O’Neill looser lawyer boy be in love with the slutty suave Con O’Neill lawyer boy? Wait no longer!

A big thank you to @feelmyskin for sparking this lil idea in my brain🖤

You just need a hot guy with big tits to fuck the worries out of you (3131 words) by Potato69 Chapters: 1/1 Fandom: Cucumber | Banana | Tofu (TV), Criminal Justice (2008), Other Con O'Neill media

Rating: Mature Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationships: Ralph Stone/Cliff Costello Characters: Ralph Stone, Cliff Costello, Jim Caxton Additional Tags: Alcohol, Alcohol Abuse/Alcoholism, but only as a one of incident and not by Cliff, Panic Attacks, Self Confidence Issues, self conscious Ralph Stone, Coming Out, coming out later in life, Gay Bar, Supportive Cliff, Flirting, age gap flirting, you know how it is all the pretty young guys want to fuck Cliff Costello, Miscommunication, Emotional Hurt/Comfort, like the hurt isn’t that bad Ralph is just very insecure, First Dates, Happy Ending, Mentions of Sex, Non-Explicit Sex, Fade to Black, mention of our beloved cheese boy Jim Caxton, Aged-Up Character(s), Ralph is 59 in this, (I’m old-manifying the old men he he)

Summary: Ralph Stone is retiring, which forces him to confront not only the lack of purpose in his life now that he’s not working but also his insecurities and his sexuality. How fortunate that he kept the phone number of all of our favourite charming slutty legal solicitor Cliff Costello, that he worked with a few years ago. Who better to help him get laid by some hot guy? If only there wasn’t one problem: Ralph is in love with Cliff!

Just have found this old one in my files, i like that smile🙃

[carrymelikeimcute]

Suggest me shows to watch for con o'neill cuz im sad

Oh BOY have you come to the right place! Currently on a real Con safari over here.

I recommend Uncle first and foremost, because it's a comedy. Con plays Val, who's quite similar to Izzy in some ways (fiercely protective, insightful, funny, occasionally aggressive), but in drag/genderqueer with a more nurturing presence. Which is wonderful.

On a more drama-y note. Happy Valley is an intense northern noir crime show where Con appears regularly in season 2-3 as Neil - very babygirl, very cute.

More niche, but he's in season 2 of 'Ordinary Lies' a slice of life drama set in a warehouse. Each episode focuses on one character that works there and he appears in most episodes - his focal episode is the first one in the series and it is heart breaking but has some lighter moments.

Cucumber (and I believe one episode of companion series Banana) is an LGBT drama, again with comedy moments. Con plays a lawyer and best friend of the main character. Very funny but also really dark in places (explicit in places, so be warned). I saw this when it came out in like 2015 and it was really solid.

The most niche example I've come across so far is a podcast called 'Kisses in the Dark' about a supernatural sort of vampiric killer (Con). Have only listened to episode one so far but it's very dark and creepy. It's on youtube, audible, lots of places.

There are random episodes of UK shows too, like Midsomer Murders, Wild Bill etc. Which you'd have to look up on his imdb, but these are the big ones I've seen right now.

STOP LOOKING AT ME LIKE THAT

Jealousy

Description: You don’t want to get caught up in a friends with benefits situation with Sherlock so you attempt to go on a date. Key word attempt.

Word count: 2.4k

Warnings: 18+ p in v sex, oral (male recevng) kinda shaming but not too bad.

——————————————————————————

Your intentions were never to get caught up in a friends with benefits situation with anyone, especially not with someone as peculiar as Sherlock Holmes, but that was before the worst and probably most stressful days of your lives. He had to admit he couldn’t solve a case and you barely got through the day while managing to keep your job after the mess up with authors and the books they had written, honestly there needs to be less people with the surname smith in the world. You had both found yourself collapsed and slightly drunk on the sofa of 221B, you’re not denying it wasn’t good sex. Because in all honesty it was probably the best sex you’d ever had and he clearly enjoyed it because he kept coming back for more, to be specific exactly twenty three times in the space of three and a half weeks. It was becoming clear he never really was stressed every time, but how can you reject an offer from a man so good looking. You’d always been fond of his dark curls, baby blue eyes and especially the way he sirts clung around his biceps. But you hadn’t looked at him that much? Well that was a lie you found yourself staring at him whenever you could, and he enjoyed it, especially when he mentioned it during the deed. But now it has to stop, you have a date and you’re walking down the stairs in the nicest dress you could find, because you like this guy, and that's when he saw you.

“Can we have a moment?” He stood up eyes already scanning your body

“I told you last time was the last time.” You sigh picking up your keys 

“Why?” He moans almost like a child

“Because it's not good for roommates to be in a friends with benefits situation. It causes problems.” You weren’t exactly lying, every American rom-com had explained that.

“Fine then, what if we weren’t friends? I never liked you much anyways, there's more to life than books you know. One has to open their eyes to broader horizons” he sighed moving in front of the doorway

“Good to know, now one has to go, I have a date.” You mock him as you push past. You feel his hand on your wrist stopping you in your tracks, his touch burned your skin, your body craves him.

“A date why would you do that to yourself?” He asks

“What do you mean?” You say pulling your wrist away subtly checking it to see if he really did burn you, of course he didn’t.

“Why would you want to go to a semi decent restaurant and conversate with a person you barely know and hope that they’re not just looking for a one night stand?” 

“Because I barely know him and he’s a sweet guy who can pick out a good restaurant. How would you know anyways, you’re afraid of commitment.” You snap back but he pulls you again, you can tell by the look in his eyes, somehow you were going to pay for that.

“Don’t make me order you.” His tone depended and his eyes were filled with lust. You rolled your lips together before you said your reply

“I’d like to see you try.” You gulped, never letting go of your eye contact. He let go biting the side of his cheek as he watched you leave the building, he was angry but he felt the need to ruin that confidence. He knew by the end of the night he’d have you on your knees one way or another begging for him.

———————————-

Somehow despite the slight detour of that conversation you had managed to make it to the restaurant on time. Jamie was already there dressed in a smart shirt, fitting for the restaurant you were at. His eyes lit up when he saw you.

“Hey i’m so glad we can finally do this” he stood up and made his way to your side of the table and pulled out your chair.

“Such a gentleman” you laughed as he tucked you into the table. You open the menu and he surprises you with ordering a bottle of wine for the table.

“So how is work?” He asks 

“Oh you know same old same old” you sigh

“Yeah but did you close the Anderson deal?” He pressed on

“Unfortunately not yet, but let's leave work at the door.” You ask

“For now sure.” He smiles, the rest of the date was fairly normal with all the usual things being asked. Your gaze switches from picking at your sub average food towards the man entering the building. Oh god, you could recognize those curls from a mile away. For fuck sake Sherlock. The waiter smiles warmly at him as she leads him to the table exactly next to yours.

“I think- is that, Sherlock Holmes?” Jamie exclaims

“Yup” you sigh “unfortunately so” you head falls into your palms

“Oh I didn’t expect to see you here!” He wears a fake smile as he sits down at his table shuffling his seat.

“You two know each other?” Jamie asks excitedly 

“Yes we do.” Sherlock replies looking at the menu

“Remember that weird roommate I was telling you about?” You glare at him, ensuring he knows what you’re suggesting 

“That's him, no way!” 

“This is Thai food, I thought you hated Thai food.” Sherlock looks at you “and have you not noticed the sub standard way he’s dressed along with the notebook he has to take notes to improve his publishing skills. What was it? Uhh, Jason, are you sure this is a date?” He smirks

“It's Jamie, and uh I- well maybe I was” Jamie stutters and looks over to you.

“Why are you here sherlock? And if you wanted help you could’ve just asked. Don’t lead me on for three months then take me on a crappy date.” You begin to pack up your stuff.

“Wait, please I- uh i’m sorry.” Jamie does move from his seat

“Uh huh sure looks like it, hope you enjoyed your free lesson because my meal was crap.” You look over to the manager of the restaurant who looks somewhat hurt by your words. Feeling bad you slam a £10 note on the table before storming off.

“What can I get you?” The waitress asks Sherlock.

“Sorry but change of plan.” Sherlock folds the menu up and places it on the table and hands a tip to the waitress “sorry for the trouble” he smiles and follows you out of the restaurant.

———————————

You stood outside the door to baker street red with anger, not only did he push his way into the date, but he also ruined it. Yeah maybe it was a bad way but it was supposed to be a way to get over his stupid dick, not that he needed to know that.

“I’m sorry, my intentions weren’t-

“Don’t start that Sherlock, you’re a good detective but a shit liar.” You huff pushing through the door.

“Well i was unsure given how you left” he followed you up the stairs, you stopped in your tracks. Oh he’s really done it now.

“How i left?” You sighed, Sherlock stood back slightly he’d never seen you like this before “you mean me telling you didn’t wanna be your stress relief anymore and actually trying to be an adult. What were you so unsure about? Please enlighten me.”

“How about the past three weeks of practically begging on your knees for me?” He snapped back

“Oh yeah sure because it only takes one person to fuck, how about last week or about two hours ago if I remember correctly, do you want me to go on. I told you we can’t do it anymore! Why do you think I was on this date?!” You paused knowing you’d said too much

“What are you talking about?” He tilts his head

“I may have only gone on this date because I didn’t want to think what we had was becoming something else, you don’t do all these normal people things.” You laugh to yourself “I was trying to get over your dick.” 

“Why should you?” He stepped closer, you took a stepback back until you hit the wall.

“What do you mean?” You ask, he answered swiftly by latching his lips to yours, pining you between him and the wall, your lips part as he pushes his tongue through causing you to send a whimper into his mouth

“Just admit it, you need me. I know I need you.” He picked you up and you wrapped your legs around his waist, he carried you into the apartment and dropped you against the door where he began to take off your clothes. You reached to undo the buttons of his shirt and he smacked your desperate hands away.

“Why?” You whimpered 

“Because you wanted someone else, you denied me of what i wanted. Now you have to wait for what you want, until I decide you’re forgiven.” His eyes were dark with lust as he pawed your body removing your layers. He turned you around and spread your legs apart. You heard the familiar sound of his belt unbuckling and then the tingling sensation of him rubbing his cock up and down your slick folds. He entered you with one hard thrust causing your face to press into the hard wood of the door as he fucked you.

“Fuck-sherlock plea-“ he cut you off covering your mouth with his hand.

“Wouldn’t want Mrs Hudson to hear now do we?” He continued his movement causing the door to rattle, he rubbed against the soft spot inside, his thickness and curve entered you perfectly. His cock rubbed your insides just right, tightening the coil inside you.

“F-fuck Sherlock. Gonna cum.” You whimper as he grunts, pushing you closer to your release. 

“Fuck- so tight.” He moaned. Your body’s heat began to rise as you grew ever closer to you release, he let it build up gripping harder and pushing deeper waiting, until he stopped. He pulled himself out, wiping the sweat from his brow and straightening his collar. 

“What the hell?” You turned around watching as he sat in his chair tucking his hardness away.

“I’m stopping you from getting what you wanted.” He said holding his hands together in his usual pose

“Why would you do that?” You ask slightly irritated at the mess he left you in

“You did it to me, I thought it was only fair.” He tilts his head pulling a sarcastic smirk.

“You’re a drama queen.” You walk over to him “and an ass” you kneel between his legs “and you’re-“ 

“Choose your next words wisely.” His hand gripped your chin pushing your lips together. You gripped his wrists and pulled them away, snaking your hands down his thighs, back to his hardness.

“And you’re incredibly jealous.” You say with a smile, his thighs clenched as your hands run over his crotch and unbuckling his belt. He let out a long sigh as you took his cock into your hands. You pumped him for a moment, allowing his body to relax into the chair before circling your tongue around his tip, your saliva mixing with the salty taste of precum dripping from him. You licked a stripe up his shaft eventually sinking your mouth down, swallowing as much as you could.

“That's it, take it all for me, good girl.” He hissed, tucking a loose strand of hair behind your ear. You bobbed up and down moaning onto him, sending vibrations down his shaft.  You pulled back up, sucking on his tip and pumping him with your hand. His thighs clenched as he pushed you away. “Not yet, can’t cum too soon.”

“Why? can't go again?” You smile

“Don’t ask stupid questions love.” He sniped back as you straddled his waist “you gonna cum around my cock” he watched as you placed your entrance above his hardness.

“You going to let me this time? Or are you- shit!” You yelped out as he thrusted up into you. You panted over him as you sunk down pushing him deeper

“What's wrong? Cat got your tongue?” He smirked and began pushing back up into you as you grinded along with the pace. Your hands gripped his shoulders to steady yourself as the motion rocked his chair. His lips traced your jawline down to your neck, he sucked leaving red marks along your neckline. His arm wrapped around your waist allowing him to hold you up as he thrusted hard into you.

“Fuck sherlock , j-just like that.” You whispered as he cock pushed deeper rubbing perfectly on that sweet spot inside. He groaned at the sensation of your walls tightening around him.

“Fuck, you gonna cum on my cock, soak it, just the way i like it.” He moaned moving his thumb to your swollen clit adding to the sensation. The chair began to rock and creak with the motion of your bodies colliding.

“Oh god Sh-Sherlock gonna cum.” You squealed as your body clenched around him, his touch burned your skin. You needed him, the way he made you feel didn’t even come close to the way anyone else could.

“I bet Jamie couldn’t make you look like this, paralysed over my cock.” He let out a groan as his pace stuttered. “You want me to cum pretty girl?”  

“Yes, please, I want it.” You begged rocking on his lap.

“Where do you want it pretty girl?” He grunted

“In me, please, I want you to fill me up. Sherlock please, I need it. All yours, only you.” 

“I’ll give it to you- fuck. Gonna paint your insides white.” He bit down on your shoulder, lavishing you neck with kisses as he came, the squelching sound of him pushing his thick white ropes further into you filled the room. You stopped rocking, resting your brow on his with a smile, his eyes locked on yours before he leaned in for an exhausted sloppy kiss. He pulled away admiring the marks he left on your neck.

“What?” You asked as he traced his fingers around them.

“Now when you or anyone else looks at these, they’ll know you’re mine.” He smirked as you sighed 

“Your arrogance will be the death of me”

“As long as its only because i fucked you to your grave, thats fine. But don’t go too soon.” He pulled you in for a tired hug, you hummed happily, savouring the moment. It wasn’t often Sherlock Holmes showed you affection.

John rolled his lower lip between his teeth, gazing out the large window at the view of London at night. He wanted to tell himself that of course, other people cared about Sherlock this much, that it was a normal reaction to the man's invigorating presence. John was not alone in his affections, and therefore they meant nothing. 

    But John knew that wasn't true. 

    John knew that his dream this morning wasn't borne out of senselessness, wasn't random. Because John had wanted to kiss Sherlock that day, hadn't he? In the dim light of their flat, in the quiet that nothing could touch, when it truly was just the two of them against the rest of the world, John had felt overcome by the feeling he kept tightly locked away — that bright, hopeful feeling that he used to get when he would look into Sherlock's eyes. The feeling that this could be real, that it could be just the two of them, forever. 

    What changed? a tiny part of him wondered. But he knew. He bloody died, that's what. He died, and that part of me died with him. 

    Then Sherlock came back.  

“Just the two of us against the rest of the world.” That was what Sherlock had offered John the day he had come back from the dead. John had punched his lights out because he was right pissed at Sherlock for leaving him, for making John have to learn how to face the rest of the world without the only person who made John feel that he had a place in it.

    Two years passed. Civilian life got easier, but something was still missing. It wasn't until he met Mary that things began to be clear.

    Mary was bright, really bright, and she had a sense of humour that cracked like a whip. She saw right through John's bullshit, and she made him feel alive in a way he hadn't in far too long. She began to fill the gaping hole that Sherlock's loss had left in his heart. That Sherlock left.

    And then he came back. He came back, and he asked John to jump right back into the fray, to the blood pumping in his veins, feet pounding on cobblestones and walking canes long forgotten. He asked that it be just the two of them against the rest of the world again.

    And John had punched him. Not because he didn't want it. Not at all. It was because John had wanted that exact thing, so badly, every day for two years. John had wanted nothing more than for them to just be... them. For as long as Sherlock would let him, John wanted to stay. 

    So what changed? Bloody fucking everything. And now it's too late.

In which John Watson grapples with the reality of a wedding ring and a bullet hole.

This is the first part of a 3-part series that is in the making :)

This is a very random brain ramble BUT

In the bbc Sherlock series there’s an ongoing joke that people expected Sherlock (played by Benedict Cumberbatch) to be taller, so I just googled how tall Benadryl Cucumber actually is and he’s 183 cm??

Like??

I DID expect Benefit Cosmetics to be taller??

I’m weirdly disappointed now??

Doctor Love Meets His Nemesis

John thought he knew what he was doing, When treating the nurses to wooing. Mary M had his number. "You've quite a cucumber!" Doc should've known who he was screwing.

Whoops! He fell into an assassin. Could happen to anyone. (Well, any friend of Sherlock's.)

pairing: sherlock holmes x reader

summary: After a particularly frustrating case, all the consulting detective needs, is closeness.

warnings: just pure teeth rotting fluff

wordcount: 904 words

a/n: just a cute little one shot with my favourite detective. the name is inspired by the song “let the light in” by Lana Del Rey, cuz I feel like it fits the vibe I was going for in the end. and now enjoy <3

His last case was one of the hardest he ever had the solve. Even though Sherlock Holmes loves the thrill of a case that really challenges him, it also frustrates him to no end if he can’t find the culprit the moment, he has all the evidence.

This case had involved multiple chases with no success, countless sleepless nights, and even more nights that he didn’t get to spend with you.

Countless nights sitting in his chair thinking, while he could hear your soft snores from down the hall.

He missed you even though he saw you every day. He saw you when you told him to eat something, when you told him to take a break, when you told him to go to sleep. But it wasn’t the same when he couldn’t really spend some quality time with you. When he couldn’t have deep conversations with you, when he couldn’t look at you, when he couldn’t hold you and really feel you.

To say he ached for you was putting it lightly.

The start of your relationship was not easy. Suddenly Sherlock had someone he really trusted. Someone who always listened to him and always cared about him. Someone who would wait and be there for him when he came home at night. Those were not things that were easy for him to get used to, especially since he had never really loved someone.

But for you he tried, and, in the end, it worked out. Still sometimes your relationship has to come second. He doesn’t like that, but he has to get his cases done, especially since he doesn’t take on that many cases anymore. He found a new thrill.

You.

When Sherlock finally entered your shared flat in the middle of the night, he didn’t expect you to be up.

But here you were, sitting in his chair, wearing on of his robes and reading what seems to be one of your way too cheesy romcoms. In the background a jazz record could be heard, one of your favourites. He couldn’t even begin to explain how relieved he was to see you.

But unfortunately, the one he thing Sherlock Holmes was horrible at asking for was the one thing he now desperately needed most.

All he wanted to do right now was hold you close and hear your voice. He wanted to really feel you with his whole being and not just feel your hand grazing his when handing him a cuppa.

He lightly knocked on the door, not wanting to startle you. You looked up from your book and immediately saw your boyfriend looking back at you. A smile now adorned your face, which caused a warm feeling to spread through the detective.

“Case solved?”, was the first question you could voice, even though a hundred more were currently going through your mind. You really hoped it was solved, because that would mean you could finally spend some time with your boyfriend again.

“Finally!”, he answered, a smile now starting to appear on his face too.

At hearing his answer, you immediately got up and hugged him for what felt like the first time in weeks, even though it could have been only a week at most.

You nuzzled into his chest while he tucked his face into the crook of your neck, inhaling the smell of your body wash. 

“Why are you still up, my love?” It was not a question of importance but more one to break the silence and to finally hear more of your voice.

“Well, I couldn’t sleep and thought I would wait up for you. I’ve missed you.” Your words made Sherlock think. These days he often considered your feelings, especially when he’s doing something that could make you mad. But he never considered that not only did he miss you, but you also missed him the same. He was not the only one deprived of your touch, you couldn’t touch him either.

He unconsciously pulled you closer while he got lost in his thoughts.

“How about we go to bed, huh?” Your voice immediately put him back to reality.

“Theres nothing, I want more right now.”, he answered truthfully. You pulled away from him and took his hand in yours, already on the way to your shared bedroom.

You were already wearing your pyjamas, only wearing one of Sherlocks dressing gowns on top of them.

While you got under the covers Sherlock took off his suit before carefully placing it on a nearby chair. He also got into his pyjamas before joining you under the covers.

He immediately took a hold of your waist before pulling you into him. You were now both laying on your sides, legs intertwined, facing each other. You had one of your hands on his chest, feeling his steady and now relaxed heartbeat, while your other hand slowly drew shapes on his back.

All the while Sherlock just held you close, happy to have you close to him again.

While holding you, he wondered how he went on with life before he met you. Before you were there for him, held him close and showed him what love felt like, or that love could feel so incredibly good. But when he kissed you now, just before you fell asleep in his arms, he knew that he doesn’t need to worry about having to live without you ever again.
