Both illustrations for my post-Reichenbach sleeper train fic Nightjet, which is now complete on AO3. Since the story got such a warm, enthusiastic reception and there have been calls for a sequel, I shall oblige. There will, in fact, be two sequels (both set on trains): Orient Express and Eurostar, following John and Sherlock as they take down what remains of Moriarty’s empire and finally return to London.

thinking about the time I went on a sleeper train and we got a sheet of paper with a list of breakfast options and I ordered a sausage roll and I got a bread roll filled with what looked like actual shit and had the texture & taste of a stale wholemeal cracker

‘Murder on the Christmas Express’ by Alexandra Benedict
Genre: Adult Fiction – Crime/Mystery
Published: 2022
Format: eBook
Rating: ★★★
I was intrigued by the premise of this book – passengers stranded on a derailed train and being picked off one after another. The passengers also had more connections to each other than you might necessarily think. It tries to be reminiscent of ‘Murder on the Orient Express’ by Agatha Christie but falls…

No ok I've had this rattling in my brain for fucking years now and I think it's high time I say something. I find it soooo absolutely delectable that dreams and sleeping are, accidentally, such prominent parts of hlvrai. Like, yeah, we all know "There's a world in your dreams Dr. Freeman, and I need you to take me there," but that's just the tip of the iceberg for me. Coomer realizes that everything around him is fake and that Gordon, the player, is the only actually real thing. When Gordon sleeps in the game, in actuality, he's taking off the headset and going about his day in the real world with real people. From Coomer's perspective, Gordon's reality is a dream, but from Gordon's pov, the modded game Half Life vr is a type of dream.
The way I see it is like if Alice in Wonderland took place where Alice knows she's dreaming and that everything is fake, but to the citizens of wonderland, it's all real, because that is the only thing they have ever known since they first began living (aka when Alice closed her eyes and began dreaming). Once Alice wakes up, the dream world ceases to be, but Alice continues on like nothing happened because that's what it was to her. Nothing.
What got me thinking about this is the it's all a dream trope, more specifically, Overly Sarcastic Production's video on it. Tldr, there are multiple avenues through which an author can do an it's all a dream plot, ranging from inconsequential one-off to the dream world may exist in its own way, but doesn't exist within reality. To Gordon, his adventures with the Science Team are the equivalent of a normal dream that turns sour once you and the people in your dream realize what's going on.

even though there's a pattern of episodes not picking up from where the last one left off i really really hope the next one does
in this version annabeth and grover are convinced percy is dead. from their perspective he had no way of surviving the chimera or the poison. he sacrificed himself for them. i want to see him surface i want to see him finding them i want to see their utter shock and relief that he's actually ALIVE. like if you're gonna make it so that he sacrifices himself at the arch i want to see the direct fallout of that drama too. please
