They’re a family, your honor

London is a Series of Tubes

By @daemonbreath and @silvascribble

The evening had started off normal enough. 

Sherlock and John had just closed a tricky but very lucrative case, and John had insisted on a company outing to celebrate. Mariana had found a local theatre company that was doing Shakespeare’s 12th Night and managed to get them all tickets. Sherlock was surprisingly interested in Shakespeare and seemed very excited to see the play. 

If they wanted to make it to the theatre in time for curtain call, they had to do a bit of scrambling to get ready. Right as John and Mariana were about to leave 221, Sherlock had remembered a sensitive experiment that needed tending to. He had told John and Mariana to go on without him, and that he’d meet them in the lobby. Not wanting to be late, Mariana had agreed and she and John caught a cab to the theatre.

That had been over an hour ago.

Mariana and John had arrived in time to get snacks and drinks, then waited in the lobby for Sherlock. No sign of him. Then the show started, and they found their seats. Still no detective. John tried to focus on the show, but his mind wandered. Did the experiment really take that long to attend to? Did Sherlock decide to walk to the theatre? Or… Or did he lie when he said he was interested in the show? Part of John’s brain latched onto that idea, but if John had learned anything from working with Sherlock, it was that he shouldn’t guess or jump to conclusions. 

“I’m gonna text him,” John whispered to Mariana, who nodded, and he quietly got up and left the theatre. Once in the hall, John took his phone out and called Sherlock’s.

Ring…

Ring…

Ring…

Ring…

“Sherlock Holmes. I’m not available right now. If you have a case, tell me everything important. If you don’t have a case, I probably don’t care.”

John sighed and ended the call. He tried a couple more times, but Sherlock still didn’t answer. John was starting to get worried— even if he was up to his eyeballs in a project, Sherlock would have answered his phone, even if it was just to make it stop ringing. He went to put his phone away, but it buzzed with a text. 

[UNKNOWN] Come and find him.

The pictures almost made John drop his phone. The first one was of Sherlock, bloodied and bruised, knocked out and tied to a chair. It seemed to have been taken in an tube station, but John couldn’t tell which one. There were no visible signs, and the tiles were caked with dirt and grime. The second picture was more confusing. It was a top-down view of two train cars connected by dark purple yarn, with the latter end of the yarn angled down. That was not good.

John hurried back into the theatre, and leaned down to whisper, “we need to leave.” into Mariana’s ear.

“What? Why?” Mariana asked.

“Now, Mariana,” John begged. “Please.”

Mariana sighed but relented, gathering her coat and purse before following John out of the theatre. John handed his phone to Mariana so she could see the messages, and she gasped.

“Oh my God,” she breathed, eyes wide. “How did this happen? He’s usually so careful…”

“No idea,” John said, taking his phone back. He dialed 999 and tapped his foot as he waited for someone to pick up.

“999, how can I h—”

“Hi, yeah, could you put me through to Detective Inspector Lestrade?” John asked. “It’s about Sherlock Holmes.”

The 999 operator sighed but agreed, and John was put on hold for a moment. 

“DI Lestrade, ‘ow can I ‘elp?” Lestrade said after the call connected, her Yorkshire accent thick as ever.

“It’s Dr. Watson,” John replied. “Sherlock’s been kidnapped.”

A police car arrived not long after John hung up, Lestrade herself stepping out. John stepped forwards with his hand out, and she shook it.

“Good to meet you, Lestrade,” John said. “Sherlock’s had good things to say about you.”

“Same to you, Dr. Watson,” Lestrade said.

“Call me John, please.”

“Georgia, then,” she said, smiling tightly.  “So, show me these texts you got.”

John took out his phone then unlocked it and passed it over to Georgia. She looked at both pictures, then handed it back.

“Any ideas?”

“W-what?” John stared at Georgia. “You’re asking me what to do?”

“Well, yeah.” Georgia shrugged. “Ye work with Holmes a lot, yeah? Y’must have learned some stuff from watchin’ him run around and solve crimes.”

Fuck. Okay. John took a deep breath and closed his eyes, trying to stay calm. What would Sherlock do if he were here? First thing’s first— consider everything that might be a clue. Sherlock said he’d be taking the tube to the theatre, so it’s likely he was picked up from Baker Street station. Whoever kidnapped him was ready with a clue and a picture of Sherlock, which meant the kidnapper didn’t plan on just killing Sherlock outright— they wanted something. 

The picture he’d been sent definitely showed Sherlock in a tube station, just one that looked old and disused. Most likely an abandoned one. If John could figure out which station it was, they could rescue Sherlock.

“Okay,” John said, sounding a lot more calm than he felt, “I’m gonna need a map of the London Underground, including stations that aren’t in service anymore. Sherlock’s being held in a tube station, so he was probably taken from one.”

“Any thoughts as to which station?” Georgia asked, jotting down everything John said.

“Baker Street,” John replied. “He was gonna come here from that station.”

“Right. I’ll see if I can pull any CCTV footage to try an’ fin ‘im. D'you two need a right to yer flat?”

“No, but thank you for the offer,” Mariana said, smiling at Georgia. She nodded back at them, then got in her car and drove off. John took a deep breath, turning to Mariana.

“Right then. Let’s save Sherlock Holmes.”

I kinda feel bad abt the fact that I keep getting shoutouts in the featured actor stuff tbs is doing?? like I deeply appreciate it, don’t get me wrong!! I just also feel like there are a lot of amazing artists in the fandom who I want to get some recognition too, not just me

so!! here’s a list of some of my favorites; it’s not an exhaustive list by any means, there are so many artists in this fandom and I wish I could list all of them honestly and if you’re an artist who isn’t on this list then please know I’ve probably seen your art and loved it

Anyway it’s shoutout time

@squigg-les: hasn’t drawn very much for the fandom but this art is super cute and I just love how expressive it is and the shapes and also the height difference and how big Caleb’s hand is compared to Adam’s and just everything about it. it’s good character design guys

@thejoviantraveler: I love this tarot card set they did for TIN!! and it’s nice seeing some traditional art in the fandom, too; a lot of it is digital (not a bad thing— I obviously do a lot of digital too but it’s just nice to see a variety of styles and techniques, y’know? plus I feel like fandoms have an unfortunate tendency to value digital over traditional which just sucks)

@moylis3: speaking of traditional, this artist has so much amazing watercolor tbs art; I love all her Damien art and I also love this piece in particular cause I’m always up for seeing Caitlin get more love

@collaredsweaters: this is her most recent piece cause I didn’t wanna pull up older art just in case she had that artist-y “oh no old art” moment lol, but honestly I love her older art so much too? I remember seeing a few of her pieces when I was just starting to get into tbs. and also this particular drawing of Joan is just so great and pretty and the colors and the textures are all so good

@silvascribble: this artist is kinda new in the fandom and I can’t wait to see what else they draw; I love this Caleb/Adam art cause they just looks so in love and so at peace with everything, plus the watercolor-style background is v pretty

@drinking-tea-at-parties/ @maikamaika-art: Maika is a fandom friend of mine and she deserves all of the love honestly like just. look at this adam. look at him.

@hopestardust: I would literally die for how small Joan is in this drawing compared to Caleb, that is all

@spidgey: this art is pretty spoiler-heavy for the am archives but goddamn the colors are good, they’re just so vibrant and they give off the right amount of Something’s Wrong

@corvidcleric: I just,, i love this chloe so much, she’s so cute and the word cloud of thoughts in the background is such a nice touch too

@godogsword: just. I feel like this art speaks for itself honestly but yeah just Caleb flinging Adam around like a football is. hilarious

@peanutdoodler: her Caleb/Adam art is just so goddamn cute I swear to god, honestly everything about her art style is adorable but I regularly think about her entry for the TIN fanart contest cause it’s just. it’s so good, guys

I might make another shoutout post eventually as I find more artists; these really are just like, top-of-my-head things that I remember seeing recently and I just want all the artists to get all the love

Hey Miles! Just a heads up, on that picture of Jon from tma by silvascribbles, your reblog has kept their original tags on it, so it's currently in your "my art" tag. I've noticed on mobile that reblogs have been hanging onto the previous persons tags sometimes lately, good old tumblr weirdness ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ thought you might wanna know!

ugh yeah, does anyone know why thats been happening?

Sherlock is insane for pulling out opiates five minutes after meeting his new flatmate, but John is insane for staying
