Hey Steph, it me, hi, I'm back for a brief stunt into Feels Central. I watched The Irregulars. If you haven't yet, and you didn't hear of it somehow, do yourself a favor and stay away from it. All the Sherlock characters are complete assholes, John asshole nr 1 among them, and he CANONLY IS DESPERATELY IN LOVE WITH SHERLOCK but Sherlock has a wife and dies with her so ,,,,,, jesus christ my heart hurts so much. This was so awful. Like an inverted negative of ACD's Canon. I need good Sherlock BBC fics asap, please, to cure my heart.

Hey Lovely!!

Ahhh, yeah I’ve heard mixed things about The Irregulars, and I don’t intend to ever watch it anyway (don’t have Netflix and it doesn’t interest me enough to find a pirate site to stream it). Eh, and we’ve enough one sided pining crap to last a lifetime, so not my thing, lol. Thanks for the heads up LOL.

And I’ve 3 whole pages of great Sherlock BBC fics! :)

For the writers behind the scene game: 9 and 19, please. 😊

Thank you so much! <3

9. Do you prefer to write AUs, canon divergence or canon-compliant fic?

Good question, I will go with canon-compliant, because I do enjoy writing "missing scenes" and such so much and it's probably what I write most often! I LOVE writing a nice Fix-it AU, too, though, but it also really depends on the ship and their story. I have to say, I rarely write the "classical" AUs though (meaning coffee shop AU and the like), but as I said it depends. Exploring some canon divergent aspects can be a blast as well!

19. Who is the easiest/hardest character for you to write about? Why?

Easiest is Albus Dumbledore, simply because I know him so well and I adore him so much and I relate to him so often. (Generally I cannot express how much this character means to me, he's been with me for more than half my life and yeah, I think anyone who follows me gets the general idea.)

Hardest, now that's a good question. I think I will go with Sherlock (BBC). It might be due to the fact that I wrote most of my Sherlock fanfic, when I was about 13 years old and all, but while I love him as a character I find it incredibly hard to get a real feeling for his POV. I find him to be quite unpredictable, which is fun, but also SO hard to write, so yeah... Haven't written him in years, though

Heyy, I want to leave a quick rec of one of the hugest stories I've ever read online here. The Man on the Wall by CaseyStar is a 400k beauty of a retelling of the book and movie The Martian. She fixed some of the math, there's loaaads of pining because Bucky is stuck on Mars and Steve and him already were sweet on each other before he got left behind. I spent a week reading this, laughed and cried, I loved it so much. The whole cast is there, in Space and on Earth, and then some. Brilliant.

Thank you for writing in!

The Man On The Wall by CaseyStar (complete | 474,747 | T)

Yesterday Bucky Barnes was a specialist member of Ares 3.Now he’s the lone man on Mars, with no food, no communication, and no way to get home.He’s a little fucked off about it.

For the kissing prompts: by the river, celebration. I love the ones you've written so far, my heart is thirsty for the good Grindeldore stuff. Thank you! 💖

Albus was sitting by the river, watching it flow as he waited for Gellert to arrive. He fiddled with pieces of grass before tugging them out and throwing them into the water where they quickly floated out of sight. He sighed. He had had another fight with Aberforth this morning. He had thought that things had been going well, but after Gellert had arrived a few weeks ago, Aberforth had grown irritable and confrontational, even more so than he had been before. Albus ripped another handful of grass off the ground and threw it in the river. Ariana was fine. She didn’t need Albus to watch over her constantly. So what if he had been spending a lot of time with Gellert? Wasn’t he allowed to have friends? Or was he supposed to give those up too? He picked up a rock and threw it, hard as he could into the water. The effect wasn’t very satisfying. All he achieved was a small plop. Sighing, he rested his head against his knees. He wondered where Gellert was.

As soon as the thought crossed his mind, however, there was rustling coming from the small field behind him, and turning, he saw Gellert approaching him, holding a small packet in his hands. Albus smiled, feeling instantly better at the sight of his friend. Gellert returned the smile, although Albus was sure his smile was far more brilliant than his.

Gellert flopped down next to him, dramatically throwing a hand over his eyes as he let out a loud sigh. “I apologise for my lateness. Tante made me clean up my room.”

Albus smiled and looked down on him. “I forgive you,” he told him, mock-serious.

Gellert smirked, peering up at him from behind his fingers. Seeming to remember something, he placed the small packet onto Albus’ hands. Raising a brow, Albus took it and rolled it curiously between his hands. It was rather small and soft, wrapped rather clumsily in newspaper and decorated with a red string.

“What is this?” he asked.

“Your birthday present, obviously,” Gellert muttered, his eyes now closed and his hands laying on his stomach.

Albus felt himself flush. “Ah, I didn’t expect- ”

Gellert waved his hand dismissively. “Nonsense. Open it.”

Albus did. Opening the paper carefully, he rolled out a pair of purple socks, decorated with twinkling golden stars. He traced the pattern with his finger, admiring the softness of the material.

“Is it alright?”

Albus looked at him questioningly. Gellert looked uncharacteristically apprehensive, his eyes dancing from Albus’ eyes to the river and back again. He was twisting a short hay straw between his fingertips. It made him look younger, not as sure of himself. It made Albus smile.

“I love them,” Albus assured him, smiling. Gellert’s eyes snapped back up, looking for a lie on Albus’ face. Albus smiled. “I do. You know, you are the first person who hasn’t given me books.”

Slowly, Gellert’s unsure expression turned into a smirk.

“Good,” he said, sounding very pleased with himself.

Albus slapped him on the nose with his gift.

Gellert sprung up suddenly, grabbing Albus and making him shriek in surprise as Gellert unceremoniously rolled them over, and they tumbled down the small slope. They ended just a few inches away from the water, Albus on his back, lying beneath a smirking Gellert and both of them laughing like children.

As their laughter faded, the look on Gellert’s face grew more thoughtful. He ran his eyes over Albus’ face, his gaze lingering on the bottom part of Albus’ face. Something in his eyes made Albus want to squirm. His weight was heavy on top of him, but he didn’t feel like pushing Gellert off. It was- almost reassuring. Albus felt himself blush again, and he heartily cursed his redhead complexion that would surely not conceal his flushed cheeks from the boy on top of him.

Albus stopped breathing as Gellert raised a hand and used it to brush a strand of Albus’ hair behind his ear. His heart started to pound furiously in his chest. Gellert’s face was very close.

“You know, I had another gift for you,” Gellert whispered.

Albus let out a shaky breath, “What is it?”

“This,” Gellert said and bent down and kissed him.

Albus froze, and before he could react, Gellert withdrew and smiling, said, “Happy Birthday.”

Albus was sure his face must have looked on fire by now. His fears were confirmed as Gellert laughed at him, so he smacked him again with his socks before pulling him back into another kiss.

Send me a location and reason, and I’ll make them kiss!

New fic - ‘Strictly Speaking!

I’ve finally started my Strictly Come Dancing AU! In which Gellert is a young dancer from Germany, forced to leave his home where he befriends fellow dancer Sirius Black and, in his first year on the hit show Strictly Come Dancing, is paired off with brilliant politician Albus Dumbledore. As their routines take the dance floor by storm, sparks fly behind the scenes!

It’s Grindeldore - of course - and also Wolfstar! And much more than dancing!

Here’s the first chapter!

@dreamingbrownie - I promised I’d let you know when I started posting!

[inevitably-johnlocked]

JFC Fic Recs

Woohoo!  Time to share the first round of fic recs from our JFC members - we hope these fics bring as much joy to new readers as they have to the members who recommended them. Get reading! 

Lucid by dr_girlfriend recommended by @twelvebrightducks

“I read once that the gift of fanfiction is that it counts the beats between the dialogue and I think Lucid is such an exquisite example of this. There’s an excruciatingly honest pain in dr_girlfriend’s Sherlock and John that we always knew deep in our hearts existed behind the facades they presented. And with this writing we get to experience it, in all it’s nuanced complexity. There is kindness and caring, compassion and the terror of loss in the words that transcends simply a friendship, a relationship. And above all, for me, it is their equality that sets them apart and together; here we have two equally flawed, broken individuals who are able to once again find their strength in themselves and each other, and not at the expense of either one’s dignity or honor. I love this fic and return to it whenever I need the world to make a little more sense. Thank you dr_girlfriend so much for this work.”

The Boy Who Drank Stars by kinklock recommended by @zigster-ao3

“It's so heartwarming and endearing. I love the source material, both Holmes/Watson of course, but the fact that it's a Howl's Moving Castle redo is genius. They fit perfectly in their roles and it's such a wonderful love story and a growth story about learning to love yourself no matter what and I couldn't put it down. It was just charming beyond words and had a happy ending. I'm a sucker for happy endings. There's a lot of intense Sherlock fic out there, which is brilliant and thrilling and throws your hair back, but it's also really nice to have an escape every once in a while. This is a gorgeous escape.”

The Heart in the Whole by verityburns recommended by @mysteriouslysilver

“It is such a classic. Hurt/comfort, slow build, and one I always find myself going back to.  The character development and progression of the story reads lyrically. Plus, snuggly BAMF!John Watson.” October to Hogmanay by snorklepie recommended by @dreamingbrownie

“Writing style, plot, the own characters are amazingly well written and depicted, Shotland sparked a deep longing for distance within me, John's panic attack in the first chapter is 1:1 accurate to what I know from my own panic attacks and the sex is steamy hot, very well written, absolutely beautiful.”

if nobody speaks of remarkable things by darcylindbergh recommended by @shipper-of-things

“It’s the only piece of fiction to ever make me cry. It’s so emotional and beautifully written.”

Here are some prompts to help you get started:

Text Prompt

BILLY: What with the monster and that ruddy prison, I don’t know how we sleep nights. Do you, Gary? (Gary stops and puts a hand on his shoulder and looks at him affectionately.) GARY: Like a baby. BILLY: That’s not true. (He looks at John.) He’s a snorer. GARY (embarrassed, trying to shut him up): Hey, wheesht! BILLY (to John): Is yours a snorer? JOHN: ... Got any crisps?

Taken from the transcripts of the amazing @callie-ariane

Visual Prompt

Setting Prompts

Sherlock and John could share a bed because:

An experiment went wrong in the living room at 221B and they both have to sleep upstairs in John’s room. *wink wink*

Sherlock suffers from nightmares after he returns from his time being ‘dead’ and can only sleep properly if John sleeps with him.

Sherlock and John need to lay low after a case and end up staying with Sherlock’s parents/hotel/safe house which only has one bed... or one single bed (so they have to get squishy to both fit!)

Sherlock and John are forced to share a singles room in first year due to a residence assignment error! Oh no!

John and Sherlock share the only bed on a planet where no one sleeps!

A spell goes wrong and now John can only be a few feet away from Sherlock, which forces them to sleep in the same bed. 

Good luck, everyone!

Heya Anna, Brownie here with a question born out of a certain amount of desperation by this point: Merlin's soggy balls, I need a proof reader for my Grindeldore dragonrider stuff. Do you happen to know any native speakers of English in the fandom who beta for writers? I lack the mutuals on tumblr and you're sort of more connected within the fandom than me. Help a gal out if you can, please >.

I use my friend as my beta so I don’t really know, sorry. But please, people who follow me, chime in if you or anyone you know matches the description and is interested in betaing!

[fandom-glazed]

finally remembered to do some of those... sorry it took me so long, but I appreciate you tagging me for this very much @inessencedevided!
