Aw man! That Sherlock vs John in a tickle fight was so funny! Hahaha! Sorry for laughing, Sherlock, but ... nah, sorry I don't have an excuse. Good job, John!

Sherlock, just give up. John knows more ways to fight dirty than you know types of tobacco ash.

My apologies; this was in response to an Ask but I accidentally deleted the original draft because I wanted to replace the images after fixing a stray blob of pixels, not realizing that I was deleting the Ask at the same time.

The request was for John to be patching Sherlock up, and for a “kiss to make it better” to lead to a proper kiss.

Getting to know Johnlock writers

Every day I stumble on a Johnlock writer who’s been writing for years, or one who just started. Most of my fics beg readers to give recs in the comments box, and they’ve given me dozens of wonderful fics.

I started an AO3 collection (open, unmoderated) to introduce readers to authors new to them. https://archiveofourown.org/collections/Johnlock_ficlets

Author’s choice: for each writer, ONE one-shot ficlet under 1500 words in your catalogue that serves as your calling-card. Short fics are easier to start off with than a magnum opus, but often lead readers to multi-chapter fics.

Choose your fic, open it to edit, go down to “post to collections,” type in Johnlock_ficlets, accept the Getting to know Johnlock writers       (Johnlock_ficlets) tag, and hit “post.”

Tagging writers new and er not new. DO PLEASE REBLOG! and TAG YOUR JOHNLOCK WRITERS

Sherlock Holmes has a successful YouTube baking channel, but what he really wants is his own bakery. When an old friend sends him a call for the very first Great British Bake Off, he seizes the opportunity to finally win a sponsor for his bakery. Here’s the plan: Win Bake Off, get the bakery, don’t fall in love with the handsome Army doctor at the neighbouring station. Easy.

It’s finally time to post this monster, you guys. Thank you so much, @bookgirlwithlove for the beta, and thank you to my darling wife @nuttersinc for reading 81k in a fandom she’s not in.

So, last week was a Week.

This is going to be long and I'm sorry. No worries at all if you want to just start scrolling on by right now, lol.

So, I'm poor. I've always been poor. My parents have always been poor, and I didn't have any help with university. I went to school in Canada (aka my country), at least, so my tuition was much lower than in the US, say, but I was still all on my own for it, living expenses, all of it, so obviously I had to get student loans, along with work my butt off for bursuries, etc. I did my masters in opera, which is a HIGHLY competitive field, including at the grad school level, and the short version is, there's no money for sopranos - they give it all to men. So: limited financial aid, too. Aka: loans. One of the major reasons that I left the opera field was that I'm just too poor. You have to pay for everything yourself - every pianist for every audition, all of your performance clothes, audition clothes, recordings for demos, travel expenses, agent fees (if you get far enough to have one of those), new headshots every six months, etc. It only works for singers with rich parents or a partner who's earning a lot and supporting them. My parents are dirt poor and I'm single, so: screwed. Now, my museum job is full-time, but it pays only just above minimum wage. My city is one where people typically live at home until they're 35, then buy a house and get married. There are very few apartments compared to most cities I've lived in, so rents are high. My rent is easily a good 75-80% of my income, and whatever I have left is how I pay the bills. Every six months I have to reapply to defer student loan payments, with proof of my measly income, and every time, huge stress though it is, I get approved. Except last time. Last time, apparently I was approved, but only to pay a lower amount than what they would have charged, aka $450 or so/month, which I obviously don't have to spare. This time, they approved me for a LOWER amount, not nothing, which had been the case every other time. I didn't see it. I just saw that I was approved. So now, six months later, it's time to reapply but I couldn't, because I was six months late on all of these lower amounts, and had to pay it all at once. The next problem? The money I had to use for that is the money I was going to pay my income taxes with. That's a whole other nightmare - the CRA (Canada Revenue Agency, may their name and entire institution be cursed), somehow conflated my account with my mother's about a year ago when she applied for benefits due to being laid off because of the pandemic. She applied for and received benefits to the tune of $4,000. The T4E's for those benefits are somehow on my account. I spent over 10 hours on the phone with these jackasses last week and it's still not sorted out. I ended up filing without acknowledging my mother's benefits, with a lengthy explanatory note, and then had to borrow money from my (again, dirt poor) parents, and somehow also make May 1st rent for the next day. It's so gross. I made my rent, but I'm up the creek now, because I have nothing left over to pay my bills. As it is, I'm generally reliant on those you AMAZING human beings who support me on Patreon - I usually have to wait until that comes in before I can pay my bills. This time around, because of the rest of it, I don't have a way to make ends meet. I hate, hate, HATE asking, especially because I've asked before, but if there's any way at all that you think you can help, any amount would be seriously amazing. PLEASE don't if you already have before, if you already support me on Patreon, or if you don't have it to spare. I mean it. This is just a last little plea I'm putting out there into the universe, just on the off chance.

The best way would be via PayPal - I use my fandom account, [email protected]. If you're in any way ticked off by this post, I'm sorry, I really, really am. I find this massively embarrassing and this entire post comes with a heaping serving of cringe on my part.

That said, the best way I know of to repay the incredible kindness and generosity that this fandom has shown me over and over again, from reading my fics to liking my posts to supporting me financially and emotionally and in all the other ways, I'm going to put in a solid chunk of work on the current fic, starting right now. It's over 37,400 words in and the end is in sight!

Please help spread the word about Sherlock Challenge! Thank you :) Rules/FAQ can be found here.

New fic!

Excerpt:

Trying to change the subject, Mycroft asked, “Do you have a speech prepared?”

“Yes, a short one. It’s odd - fifty years is certainly a long time, to be sure, but I found there was only one thing I really wanted to say. I have loved your mother, I do love her, more deeply and utterly than I would have ever thought possible as a young man.” Mycroft found himself gaping, a little stunned at such a blunt and strong declaration of emotion. His father had always been the softer and more open of his parents, but this was still something… new. His father went on, “It’s one of the few things that did remain steady and reliable, through the years. So many things unspoken… not really fit for an anniversary speech, I think.” He glanced at Mycroft, something apologetic in his face, but both of them knew what… who, he was referring to. 

Eurus. Now that she was known to be alive, now that they had a fixed location for her, now that she had a past and a present and a future… it was like she haunted them far more than she had when they thought her dead. Aside from a few emotionally-loaded conversations between Mycroft and his mother when they had first found out, the verbal recriminations had stopped - but they were still there, in looks, gestures, in the spaces between the words...

Perhaps he shouldn’t have come here at all.

Light angst with a happy ending, Mystrade and Johnlock and feels galore, this is a gift for FTH2021. Enjoy!

I'm going to fucking

Thank you for the tag, @dearly-devoted-dawdler !

Three fun facts about me:

1. I started painting paint-by-numbers at the start of the pandemic to help my anxiety and I’ve done almost thirty since then and I’m obsessed! 🎨

2. If I even LOOK at a mushroom I gag. If I found out I accidentally ATE a mushroom, you won’t see me for the rest of the night 🤢

3. I started my fandom journey later than most. I’ve only been here since 2017 and the end of Sherlock S4. Now I can’t imagine not loving Johnlock!!! 💜

I tag @yorkiepug @obviouslysherlock @carmillacarmine and anyone else who wants to join!! ☺️

hi everyone ~

I’m super bad with names but I always want to try and call people by their first names if I can!! 

I thought I’d do a quick lil tag game to make sure I’m getting to know all the lovely people I interact with on here. so, if you’re comfortable, post your first name and three facts about yourself.

I’ll start - I’m Alex, and three fun facts about me are I love to collect pens/stationary, Dunkin’ iced coffee basically flows through my veins, and the musician I’ve recently become obsessed with is maggie miles.

tagging @leahclearwaterdefensesquad @ohyoudosmellgood @notquitetwilight @carllisle @jasperwhitcock @edworm-cullen @rosalielesbianhale and literally EVERYONE who wants to jump in because I want to meet you if I haven’t already!!!!

You know how adults & kids make game out of throwing the kids in the air & catching them? Or toss them on to something soft? What would happen if john tossed the baby in the air? Would it be like tossing pizza dough?

The vestibular system of a human baby needs to be calibrated by tossing the baby up into the air or down onto soft surfaces, but wee Ian needs to be regularly swirled around in smooth containers of varying shapes and sizes instead. They do get stretched and flapped, too, but that’s more for their propioceptive development.
