No, it's not like any other love. This one is different, because it's us - (2022)

And if the people stare Then the people stare Oh, I really don't know and I really don't care

I can't even get through The Empty Hearse ...

Sherlock deducing with Molly along, as he's constantly hearing John's (now derisive voice) in his head, talking at all the points John would normally have spoken ... 🥺 (knowing his timing and cadence like his own heartbeat).

How many times did he hear "brilliant"? And "amazing"? And "fantastic"? Whispered in breathless wonder ... while he was dismantling Moriarty's network for 2 whole years? How many times did John's voice save him and keep him going???

John was with him the whole time. Because John is always there.

(There's always the two of us).

And now ...

"Not really in the picture anymore"

Like he knows now what it's like to be half the person he once was ... and will never be again.

It’s been a whole year now since we first met Peter and he is still searching for his forever home. He is the sweetest guy, just looking for a permanent lap to sit in. 💔It blows my mind that a cat with a personality like his is taking so long to place. This cat is so friendly that I didn’t even have to trap him, he just walked into the house himself. Please share his poster, especially if you haven’t before. You never know who is on your friends list that might be looking for their purrfect companion! 😻 Located in Leesburg, FL. Willing to travel for the right forever home.

My Once Upon a Studio Ship

Hey.

I'm not gonna ask how you are, because I know how you are. At least, I think I do. I don't know if I want myself to be true.

When you...left...I'm not sure whether left is the right word, actually. The horror of what happened...the horror of what you did to me...is something that can't be described with words. My soul was ripped apart. My heart shattered into a million pieces. My soul was wounded. My life ended when you went away from me.

And...even after all of that...I hope you're okay, my love. I really do. You...I don't think you could help it. If only we talked to each other. If only we worked things out before IT happened...maybe this wouldn't've been such a bad thing.

At any rate, I want to tell you something. Something that I never told you before, and now definitely won't ever get the chance to.

I loved you. When you would smile the way you did in the sun and we would sneak off together to do things we should'nt've been doing, I loved you. When you would marvel at little things like flowers and hummingbirds and nightingales, I loved you. I've always loved you, from the moment I met you.

I love you. I love you, even now that you're gone, even now that I'm nothing but a pile of broken pieces and memories. I love you, even though they all dragged you away from me, so that I could never embrace you again, and never have the chance to call you mind. Even after all that, I still love you.

I will always love you. Even though I'll never see you again--not for a long while, at the least--I will always love you. There doesn't seem to be anybody else for me, because my heart was yours the moment I set eyes on you. It's always you, my love. Always you...

And lastly, I will miss you. I will miss the way you were a fucking diva all the time. I'll miss the way you were so rude to anyone who crossed you. I'll miss your smiles, the way you saw the world, the way...the way you looked when you were happy, or sad, or anything really. You're fucking beautiful, sweetheart.

This letter can be read from 3 perspectives:

Crowley to Aziraphale after Good Omens season 2.

John Watson to Sherlock Holmes after Sherlock season 2. 🧐

Blade Ranger to Nick Loopin' Lopez after the crash.

There are 3 more lines to add as well for each:

He let out a sigh laden with a thousand years' worth of exhaustion and

took a look around the bookshop--his bookshop now, that Aziraphale had found it in him to abandon it. He didn't know why he stayed, given the pain it caused him, but leaving would somehow make it worse. Sinking low into the cushions of the couch, he took a swig from his bottle.

sank back into the chair, facing the other one that should've been filled with a lanky man and his stupid curly hair and stupid angelic face. His vision blurred in and out of focus from the lack of sleep--he knew that if he gave in now he would only wake up to the words, "Goodbye, John" ringing in his ears.

sank low onto his landing gear, staring at the picture of his one-- and it seemed only--love. It didn't matter how many years it had been since the accident; a part Blade was and would always belong to Nick. Looking around at the scene of the base, he headed back to his cliff, parking a little ways from the edge to keep watch over the park for lightning storms. He fought fires now. He saved lives for real. After all, that's all he could do at this point, wasn't it?

So sorry if the ending seems rushed on any of them but constructive criticism would be appreciated! Thank you for reading this!

Both illustrations for chapter 2 of my Lake District fic Easy Scrambling. The chapter is finally, finally finished and with my beta now. I expect to post it later this week.

Since it has been ... uhm ... years since the first chapter was posted, it might be a good idea to reread it, and also the first two installments of the series, The Summer Boy and Underground Rescue.

Category 5 notalgia incident guys. Found my old phone from 8th-9th grade (2013-2014). Guys the fashion. My makeup was reminiscent of Bendon Urie in "I Write Sins Not Tragedies." Almost all my outfits feature a corset, knee high boots, or both. My old friends are usually with me. I have probably 200 random Vampire Knight screenshots(?) My childhood dog who was notoriously hard to photograph due to her constant hyperactivity is there. Beyond blurry, but there. Fall looked just like fall has always looked, but in lower resolution.

the broken chariot

Now, he knows why he was sent off with an errand to the village, for when he returns with package in hand, it is to find Sherlock Holmes not brooding upon the bed or by the window, but instead submerged fully clothed in the bath, a shivering dog sandwiched between his legs.

“The wells are to the right, my brothers,” said one, a hard-lipped, clean-shaven man with grizzly hair. “To the right of the Sierra Blanco—so we shall reach the Rio Grande,” said another. “Fear not for water,” cried a third. “He who could draw it from the rocks will not now abandon His own chosen people.”

Sure dude, you want that written on your gravestone? (if your body can be recovered at all)

The important thing abt detective characters is that they always need to be unusual and off-putting and kind of unprofessional and even a little bit perverted or weird or obsessive to an unhealthy degree. But by God they can NOT be just some polite guy.

I JUST HEARD THAT AO3 IS DOWN

AO3 IS INDEED DOWN

Lineart of one of two illustrations for chapter 2 of my Lake District fic Easy Scrambling. The second chapter is – finally – finished (still needs editing and betaing). My sincere apologies to all those who read chapter 1 when it was posted 2 1/2 years ago and have been waiting for an update ever since. It’s coming at last.

For those who haven’t read the first two stories in the series, The Summer Boy and Underground Rescue, now might be a good time.

Starshadow and Alastor try to wear the Deerstalker (SASTTR Chat Story)

Starshadow: Hey, Radio Demon Alastor: Yes, Starshadow? Starshadow: I have a joke for you... Alastor: What is it? Starshadow: (Tells a Joke) If my last name is Skystalker, you like deer and you hunt deer. What kind of word is it? Alastor: What, I can hear your voice saying... Starshadow: (He releases the joke device!)

Starshadow: A DEERSTALKER!!!!

Also Alastor:

[belethlegwen]

Does Henry have a voice claim?

Or Daniel?? Or Miller?? OR ANY OF YOUR BLORBOS?👀

I have never had a voice claim really for anyone, I know generally what their accents are and I can hear their voices in my head, if that makes sense? But I can't REALLY think of anyone's voice in particular that I would listen to and go "oh this is DEFINITELY them".

Their accents across the board, save for Melanie, are varieties of european and those general areas, mostly British/English with Irish mixing in from the more rustic/rural folks, Scottish is definitely in there. I don't know the regional accents of England/Wales/etc, I am sorry. I know I could be trying to narrow shit down York/Cockney/London/so on but I have no idea what any of those sound like specifically.

Members of the Royal family (the Duke included) have a strangely almost Spanish accent? Possibly Italian? But the accent itself has been warped to trend KIND OF more toward English, still keeping some of their speech patterns/accent of Spanish/Italian kind of deal just enough to really stand out from that crowd.

Lionus has a really unique accent that's a very strong and chipper mix of Irish/Scottish blended to SOUND like a British accent of some variety. When asked about it, he tends to just shrug it off as a product of being moved around a lot when he was younger and leaves it at that.

So yes! That's about all there is to the accents and voice claims. There definitely aren't some ideas I vaguely tossed around pre-coffee this morning that I got semi dragged for under the cut.

Thank you so much for the ask! <3

So like

I threw out these ideas to my future spouse, bless their fun-print-designed socks

and immediately got back the response of "love that I can tell exactly what kind of UK media you've consumed" so

Read me as you will I guess, just be kind to me.

DISCLAIMER: These are just vague ideas of people who sound similar/have played roles/delivered lines in a way I thought was close!!

Henry - Simon Pegg Miller - Nick Frost Peter - Martin Freeman (specifically from his portrayal as Bilbo) Daniel - Benedict Cumberbatch (a more flat, moping kind of Benedict??? Though for real now that I'm thinking about it, like a younger-sounding Alan Rickman?)

so yeah judge me as you will on this but it's the best I got, my ass doesn't watch anything and I don't know voice actors very well.
