#conductor of light

[consult-sherlockholmes]

Maybe it is time to say something after yesterday evening, @consultjohnwatson. As you all know I am not a man of many words when it concerns sentiment. I despise having to voice anything of such nature, I rather show my appreciation for someone through my actions. I thought my previous actions had clearly represented what I feel, already years ago. But maybe it wasn't clear enough. So expressing any of the following goes against my usual modus operandi, but maybe it is necessary, so I am going to attempt something I never did before. I assumed I had taught you enough about the science of deduction to see and observe. To see what the true meanings behind people’s actions are, what their motivations and intentions are. You are the one of us who is better at such things, better at recognising other people’s emotions, better at interpreting sentiment and determining whether people partake in flirting. So I had believed you would understand my endeavours, sooner or later. But maybe you are not as observant about sentiment when it concerns myself, after all I am not the most emotive and transparent person. Perhaps I will have to be more verbal and clear instead of relying on subtext or your deductions to convey the message. 

I struggle to comprehend and categorise emotional experiences, especially when I don’t have any other data to compare it to. I have never experienced anything akin to ‘love’ before, thus I can not determine whether any new experience would be regarded as such an emotion. I am uncomprehending in the face of the loving, I don’t know how to assess any of such feelings. So I can not say that I am in love, simply because I do not know love. And I think you know that it’s already something special that I am willing to admit that I do not know something.  All I know is that you are the most important person in my life, John. That I appreciate you more than anyone else, I never cared about a fellow human as much as I care about you. That you made me experience a range of emotions that I have never felt before, and you probably made me a better human. You helped me understand things that I would have otherwise never understood, I do value your input, John. I don’t want to contemplate where I would be without you if I had never met you, I probably wouldn’t be here at all anymore. 

What I am trying to say is, be patient with me. Even if I am unable to properly comprehend sentiment, would you be willing to help me understand and find out? Would you be willing to figure it out together? To be my conductor of light?

When I said I identified a lot with Buck, I didn’t ever think it would include being hit by lightning, but here we are 😳😬🤷🏻‍♀️

Unfortunately I don’t seem to have gained mathematical superpowers though!!!

Legacies: Part 9 of Conductor of Light

A continuation of the Conductor of Light Series. 1895. Sherlock has been back from exile for several months. Old hurts are healing.

Our reunion was fraught with more emotion than usually passed between us, and though apologies had been made and accepted, he still sometimes looked at me with a wounded, worried expression, as if I were preparing to disappear again. This reminded me that I’d disappointed him. It was not my intent to give him new reasons to doubt me. Far from it; I was relieved to find the two of us finally settled. I solved small household mysteries and he wrote them up, embellishing them for readers of the Strand, who had never lost their taste for his dramatic, romantic stories.

It's been a while since I visited this version of Holmes/Watson, and I'm not sure who to tag. I have a couple more stories to add to this series, so if you'd like to be tagged, let me know. Thank you for reading 💕

A Bright Resemblance and Chapel Of The Snows by Light Conductor from the album Sequence One

[consult-sherlockholmes]

Your eyes are like a thousand stars glittering like diamonds in the midnight sky.

How poetic. But diamonds need a light source to reflect to be glittering. So what is the light source then?

[sadlynotthevoid]

I had once this weird dream (but that I really liked tbh) where TBOAH world was going to end but, like, not for the White Star nor anything.

It was just going to die spontaneously and everyone there was going there was just going to join the flow of souls (think of it like the rukh in Magi, because my unconscious likes to add Magi hints to everything. Love that anime tho).

But due bad timing synchronization, the flow was already too filled and if it happened, souls would collide against each others and the sequels would cause massive amounts of chaos and stuff in the other worlds from the sane section.

Which was obviously bad.

So the gods in charge of that section decide that the best action course (and the only plausible one) is getting a conductor to direct the energy and souls of this world smoothly into the flow. Of course, the conductor has to be a living being with a strong will to be able to drive a whole ass world's living essence into a single path.

Ideally, the conductor also had to have a connection with Time. After all, time and space were linked and redirecting life into the flow was separating it from a time-space and releasing it into a river where time and space worked different (if it did. Work, that is.)

A regressor, they decided. The conductor has to be a regressor.

Then, the God of Death— because of it was him— nominated a human child. A god from a different section, but who also was responsible for a world in this one, seconded it.

After inspecting said human, the gods agreed he would be a good choice.

So, Eruhaben went on a trip— his last one in this life— to Rain City, because the world tree requested him to find a person.

A child that was supposed to bring an end and a new start to this world and its people.

Well, the world tree had said that this human was technically an adult. But for Eruhaben who had lived for thousands of years, a human who wasn't even on his second decade was practically a little kid.

Cale Henituse.

What was special about him, that the gods believed him capable of accomplish such a task?

——————————

It went longer but I'm stoping there now. It was a Naruto crossover btw. And that Cale is Og!Cale. He did succeeded leading the world into the cycle, then everyone got reincarnated in Naruto.

Cale was born as his mom's son again and they were both Uzumakis because my brain said that it fits them (my brain it's not wrong, tho). Eruhaben was his dad this time and Karin was his little sister. I don't know if biologic or if she was Cale's relative that they adopted.

I'm pretty sure that the Soo's appeared and CJS was a Hyuuha or an Uchiha (but that could be because I would like him and Shisui to be friends and my brain went with it), KRS was a Nara (no surprises there), I don't remember what about LSH antecedents, and I think they were planning on opening a store together.

[modmad]

so I just found your cosplay of Mary Poppins and died on impact. amazing! if you could do any cosplay, no matter how ridiculous or complicated in concept, what would you do? good luck with the book btw I bought all three :D

oh gosh, thank you and thank you! what a fun question hmmm

I would. love. to do an Engineer/Conductor cosplay but like with a full animatronic fursuit. You know? that shit. Movable tail, claws, mouth, ears, facial muscles the whole thing. Like a fuckin exoskeleton mechsuit (partly to support my weakass joints) and also made to look like the big soft toy he is? That would rule so much. Also I could get a voice modder in the helmet/head to drop my voice lower than usual ehehehe ohhh no anon this is too much fun to imagineghhfdhjs

A Guide to my Fiction

I've written a lot of short stories, which you can find here.

That's a lot to wade through, though, so I've organized many of them into series. If you're looking for a particular type of story, I hope this helps.

I rarely write sad endings, and I do leave warnings about things that you might want to avoid. If a story is tagged Author Chose Not To Warn, please read the tags, the notes, the warnings.

BBC:

Just Johnlock / 26 standalone stories: These are all stories that take place in BBC world. Some are alternate first meetings, canon fixits, and missing scenes. Many are fluffy, and some are angsty. Basic Johnlock stories.

Speculative Shorts / 22 standalone stories: These stories involve a degree of magic, fantasy, or science fiction. What-ifs and Twilight Zone moments. Again: fluff, angst, and Johnlock.

Those are my two main series, and most of my stories belong to one or the other. No story belongs to both of these series, so these are the two main places to find my short fiction. Neither series is complete, so you will see additions.

I do have some other series that overlap with Just Johnlock and Speculative Shorts. Some of these are one story arc told in multiple parts.

Many Happy Returns / 12 standalone stories: These are all variations of Sherlock's return from Reichenbach, each of them a fix-it with a happy ending. I will be adding to this series.

Random Strangers / One story told in 5 parts: John is a former POW who only knows Sherlock from the letter he was forced to write to a serviceman while in rehab. Their relationship begins in wariness, progresses through sympathy and understanding, eventually to love. Covers events of the series from a different first meeting through The Great Game, Reichenbach, and finally retirement. This series is complete.

May 4 / 2 parts: An amnesia story. Memento Mori: John has undetected brain damage (caused from the fall he took when the cyclist hit him) and can't remember what happened to Sherlock. In Absolution, Sherlock deals with John's amnesia and tries to atone for leaving him. This series is complete.

Author / 5 standalone stories: Writing and writers (usually John). I may add to this series.

Happiness: 2 parts, so far; two related stories that can be read independently. In Happy, John reflects on his long estrangement from Sherlock and reaches out to him; in Knight Errant, Sherlock explores his understanding of love, and explains why he waited so long for John. No more parts are planned for this, but you never know.

Seasons: 2 parts, so far; related stories that can be read independently. In Solstice, Sherlock determines that the way to win John back is the same way he lost him: so gradual that it's almost imperceptible. In Equinox, they're together and learning that, thanks to real life, the course of true love isn't always smooth. Each story takes place over one year. I have one more part planned for this series.

ACD:

Conductor of Light: 8 parts (with two more parts planned). Best described as a non-canonical, not-quite-an-AU retelling of ACD's detective and his doctor. The stories assume that Watson was an unreliable narrator attempting to make his telling of their cases acceptable for publication. As a narrator, Holmes is more reliable, but justifies many things to himself as he struggles to understand and express his feelings for Watson. Parts can be read independently, but are part of a long arc stretching from first meeting to Reichenbach and beyond.

Fin de Siecle: 20 parts, complete. Each part can be read on its own, but there is an overall arc to the stories that will make more sense if read in order. Only one part of this is somewhat explicit. The story assumes that Holmes and Watson are lovers in Victorian England who must hide their relationship. At Reichenbach, Holmes loses the battle with Moriarty and must go into hiding, faking his death for seven years; while Watson is put on trial for gross indecency and sent to prison. Reuniting after Holmes's secret return, they join the battle against Sebastian Moran, who has used his influence to corrupt the government.

Longer Fiction:

The Last Envoy: My longest work to date, 127k words. This is science fiction, but not hard SF. Sherlock is a very human alien who comes to Earth with a mission he doesn't completely understand and quickly falls in love-- with the planet, the people, and a certain army doctor. There is angst: war begins and he is caught up in events he cannot control, while still trying to fulfill his purpose in being here.

Do No Harm: 2 parts in this series, more planned. Novel-length. This is not strictly ACD; it's set in the interwar period (1920s-1930s). In Part 1, Do No Harm, Watson stands trial in 1923 for the murder of his mistress, the mystery novelist Mary Morstan. If convicted, he will hang. Sherlock Holmes sets out to prove his innocence. Part 2, Where I Cannot Follow, takes place ten years later, after Holmes has faked his death and returned from a three-year mission.

Off-Axis: These are not short stories, but a novel-length story and two novellas. Their connecting theme is parallel realities.

Synchronicity: John and Sherlock meet again, years after they were school boys together. John hasn't forgotten why he still hates Sherlock Holmes. Enemies to lovers.

The Short Tragic Death of John Watson: Thirteen years ago, Sherlock starred in a television series about an alien boy stranded on Earth. Now Molly has written a reunion episode and he's expected to join his old costars and recreate the role of Alex Tribble, now an adult returning to rescue his old friends from an alien threat. Having had some success since playing a teenage alien, Sherlock is reluctant to reprise the role. And there's another problem no one wants to discuss: John Watson, who played his best friend, is dead. NO MCD.

Blank Slate: Sherlock has been dead four years when John receives the shocking news that he's actually alive, that he's been held in captivity for the last two years. When he returns to John, he seems like a different person. Is the man John loves somewhere inside that amazing brain?

Starting Over: A disappointing blind date set up by well-meaning friends brings together John Watson, invalided army doctor, and Sherlock Holmes, asocial, "married to my work" consulting detective.

Accidental Magic: Soon after his return (TEH), Sherlock takes the case of a woman seeking stolen books hidden in her late husband’s library. He invites John to come with him. Working together after so much time apart, they begin to discover more than stolen books. This isn’t really a story about magic, except for the ordinary kind of magic that happens when people realise they’re in love and it’s time to do something about it. That kind of magic is the best kind.
