ace Sherlock ^^
I know people really want Johnlock in the Sherlock and co podcast to happen and I would be happy too. But I also wouldn’t mind if they just stayed really good friends…

In honour of you and the international asexuality day I have hacked every screen to show the asexual flag.
Tumblr media
Though any suspiciously old computers must be... Celebrated! Bring one home! It's safe... :)
-JM
Excuse my delayed answer, seems that the day of asexuality has been yesterday. Sadly I have missed your kind gesture, as I have been outside yesterday, stalking studying bees. As you can see, I have been successful. Apis mellifera mellifera, the european dark bee. I have spent a nice day of asexuality with the bees, and I do hope everyone else has spent a nice day of asexuality as well. But why limit yourself to a day when you can have the whole year?

And I won't even start deducing that picture, that house is a mess.

Family
John slowly opens his eyes. The room is quiet. The lights are dim, and the television over his bed is showing cartoons on mute. The blanket is uncomfortable and it smells of antiseptics and human misery.
He hates hospitals. Well, on this side of the bed at least. 
There’s something heavy and warm lying on one half of his body. He looks down and sees Rosie, fast asleep, her head on John’s shoulder. Apparently, she took a bit of a break from colouring on his leg cast and fell asleep.
It’s impossible to tell what time it is, but he guesses it must be rather late.
The door opens and a nurse comes in. She smiles when she sees him awake. He nods at Rosie and motions her to be quiet and she nods.
“Everything all right?” the nurse asks quietly. 
John nods. “So far so good.”
“With a bit of luck, you'll be out of here by the end of the week,” she says, adjusting his pillow. “Your husband should be back in a second, he just stepped out to take a phone call.” She smiles at Rosie’s sleeping form. “Couldn’t get either of them to leave. You have a lovely family.”
“Thank you,” John says, returning her smile, not bothering to correct her about the assumption she made about Sherlock. It’s easier this way, no arguments about visiting hours. Also, he’s used to it. So many people think they’re lovers, and he’s long since stopped even trying to explain that they’re not, because honestly, it doesn’t make any difference. 
“Looks like the little one might be out for the night. I’ll bring in a cot for her later, we can settle you both more comfortably.”
“Thank you,” John repeats.
The door opens again, and Sherlock walks in. 
“Hey,” John greets him with a weak smile. 
Sherlock looks tired, but he returns John’s smile. “Hey yourself.”
The nurse excuses herself, muttering about seeing to the cot.
Sherlock sits down next to John’s bed and scrutinises him with narrowed eyes and what John calls his ‘deduction face’. “You still feel like shit, don’t you?”
“I was hit by a car not 48 hours ago, what do you think?” John asks, but he keeps his tone gentle because Sherlock looks exhausted and worried. “It’s not that bad, though. Could have been worse.”
“Three broken ribs, a broken leg and a light concussion, that’s not trivial, John.”
John holds out his hand and Sherlock takes it, clasps John’s fingers between both of his hands, moving closer to the bed. 
“I’m sorry I scared you,” John says, gently, quietly, careful not to wake Rosie. 
“Hardly your fault,” Sherlock mutters, looking down at their joined hands with a murderous expression. “That stupid driver. He’s lucky you weren’t hurt any worse, or I would have murdered him with my bare hands. Or maybe I would have just broken all his bones but let him live a life of misery and-”
“Calm down, love, you’re going to wake the Gremlin,” John soothes, squeezing Sherlock’s hand tightly. 
Sherlock grumbles something inaudible, but he subsides with the threats. 
Silence falls, and John watches Sherlock watch him. There’s obviously something on Sherlock’s mind, but John knows from experience that it’s better to let Sherlock work things out in his own time. 
“They didn’t let me see you,” Sherlock finally says, quietly. His eyes drop to John’s hand still entwined with his. “I had to tell them we’re married, otherwise they would’ve made me leave.”
“But you’re next of kin on all of my records,” John answers, frowning in confusion.
“There was a problem with the Internet, they couldn’t access your records.”
“I’m sorry, that must have been stressful,” John says, squeezing Sherlock’s hand. “I remember when they wouldn’t let me see you after you were shot.” He shudders a bit at the memory. “It was horrible. I didn’t know whether you were dead or alive for hours. I had to wait for Mycroft before they’d tell me anything.”
Sherlock looks down at their joined hands again, obviously lost in thought. “I was so scared,” he mutters, almost inaudibly. 
“You held it together like a hero for Rosie, though,” John says with a fond smile, remembering Sherlock and Rosie just before he was wheeled into surgery, Rosie holding on to Sherlock’s hand in a death grip, Sherlock white as a sheet but outwardly composed, explaining calmly to Rosie that John would be just fine.
“I was sick in the bathroom when Mrs Hudson came to take her home,” Sherlock mutters, still addressing their entwined hands. 
John smiles fondly. “I won’t tell her if you don’t.”
“John-” Sherlock looks up from their joined hands. “This is going to sound incredibly stupid-”
“We should get married,” John says, interrupting Sherlock.
Sherlock looks gobsmacked, and John congratulates himself silently for managing to surprise Sherlock Holmes. 
Sherlock blinks a few times in the way he has when his mind palace crashes, so John decides to take over the talking out loud part of the conversation. “I’ve thought about it before, but it never seemed urgent. But you know what I thought yesterday, when I saw you standing there? If anything happens to me, they’ll send Rosie to live with my sister, and we can’t let that happen.”
“But-” Sherlock blinks again. “But we’re not-”
“Sleeping together?”
Sherlock nods and actually blushes a bit. “I don’t-”
“You don’t want that, and I understand. I don’t, either. I know you don’t like sex, and I’m not interested in a sexual relationship with you,” John says gently. “But you’re everything else to me. You’re my friend, my confidante, my rock, my partner, my co-parent. My family. We live together, we work together, we’re raising a child together. You know how often I get asked if I have a partner? I never hesitate to say yes because that’s what you are.”
“You said romantic entanglements would complete me,” Sherlock says, his voice hoarse with emotions, his eyes wide and uncertain.
“That was six years ago, and I’ve learned a lot since then. You taught me a lot. Love is complicated, I get that now. And I love you. Not conventionally, but since when do we do anything the conventional way?”
Sherlock smiles slightly, but says nothing, so John continues,  “I was always looking for someone who’d stick with me, someone to spend my life with. Well, you’re it for me, Sherlock, and if that’s a problem for you, you’d better tell me right now, because otherwise, you’re stuck with me for good.”
“Not a problem,” Sherlock says, and there’s an expression on his face John has never seen before. Soft and gentle and hopeful. “You’re it for me as well.” He pauses. “And - I love you too. In case that was in any way unclear.”
John smiles, overcome with relief. “So that’s a yes, then? To the whole marriage, adopt the Gremlin, stay with me forever thing?”
“Yes,” Sherlock says, brushing a soft kiss over their joined hands. “That’s a yes.”
I think I never wrote Ace Sherlock/heterosexual John before, but there's a first time for everything. Fluff of the tooth-rotting variety here, sorry for the sappiness two days in a row.
Thanks for keeping us going with the challenges, @calaisreno!
Tagging a few people again: @keirgreeneyes @helloliriels @jrow @meetinginsamarra @catlock-holmes @khorazir @lisbeth-kk @thetimemoves @topsyturvy-turtely @fluffbyday-smutbynight @7-percent @the-reading-lemon and anyone else who wants to play!

Steven Moffat take over a show where the main character is canonically ace and NOT give them a love interest that comes in the form of a capable powerful dominant woman that somehow gets "put in her place" by said main character and write their relationship as sexual and make things weird challenge impossible

Headcanon:
After Sherlock and John got home from the Chinese restaurant in the aftermath of A Study In Pink, they both went their separate ways to their bedrooms, but not before bidding each other goodnight.
John fell asleep within minutes of his head hitting the pillow, Sherlock within seconds. Neither of them had gotten a proper sleep in days. John had been kept up by nightmares and Sherlock had just been being Sherlock, and hadn't slept in literal days.
John slept peacefully for seven hours. As he had predicted, he had no trouble sleeping after shooting the not very nice cabbie. Sherlock was still asleep when he woke up. John went to the kitchen for breakfast, only to find that the fridge was of course empty. He decided to be nice and go to Tesco just this once, so that they didn't have to spend their first week living off of nothing but takeout.
When he returned, Sherlock was still asleep. He ended up sleeping for a full fourteen hours, before getting up and silently occupying space in the living room.
Sherlock of course noticed that John had done the shopping. Sherlock has never been the best at reading social cues, and assumed incorrectly that this was John agreeing to always do their grocery shopping every time (much like when he thought allowing John to take his card would mean that John would allow him to use his laptop). This was good for Sherlock, who had anxiety about going to shops. It was always an overwhelming experience which left him feeling drained. So he was happy to let John do it instead.
Unfortunately this was not what John meant and John quickly got fed up with always being the one to have to go to Tesco. Every time he suggested that Sherlock go, Sherlock would childishly refuse.
There was a time (which I am kinda stealing from @bbcsherlockheadcanon, I just love it so much) when their disagreements over who should go to the supermarket led to a two week period where they lived off of nothing but takeout, tea and coffee. This ended when they received a week’s worth of shopping delivered to their door, with an angry message from “MH”.
Sherlock only ever goes to Tesco himself when he messes up, as a way of apologizing. John eventually comes to accept this form of apology.
Of course many years later, when the duo are raising Rosie together, Sherlock actually takes responsibility and goes to the supermarket unprompted, because he understands that sometimes John is just too exhausted. He also goes whenever Rosie is tagging along, to help make things slightly less chaotic.
He finds that his anxiety is eased when Rosie is there. She is his sunshine. His little bee, his dearest Watson. When she's there he is able to forget all of his problems.

What happens with aroace coded characters in fandoms that really annoys me:
Frodo Baggins: never involved in a relationship, loves his friends — fandom: he’s so in love with Sam, he even lets him and his family live with him
Bilbo Baggins: never married, dedicates his life to writing, adopts Frodo and loves him like a son — fandom: I ship him with Thorin so much
Sherlock Holmes: dedicated his life to his work, very loyal to his friends, never married or had a real relationship — fandom: he’s in love with Irene! He’s in love with John!
Aziraphale & Crowley: canonically ace according to the book, poster characters for a qpr — fandom: why don’t they just f**k? Why don’t they just k**s? This is queerbaiting!
There are probably more examples because it’s definitely a pattern.

Welcome One & All
I am new to the BBC Sherlock fandom, having only been a fan for a little over a month now. And I love it!
On this blog, I want to fill in some gaps in the market, so to speak in the Sherlock fandom. Examples of what I plan to provide are aro-spec/a-spec Sherlock headcanons, lots of Johnlock and Parentlock.
Aro/Ace Sherlock & Johnlock...
Naturally, of course I love Johnlock. It took me a little longer than it probably should have to see how perfect they were for each other, because one of the first video edits I ever watched was Sherlock Being AroAce for 12.5 Minutes. Being that I am somewhat aroace myself, I was excited to find that I related to Sherlock and that was part of what drew me into the fandom.
But at first I didn't want to ship John and Sherlock, because it kinda conflicted with my headcanon that Sherlock is aroace. If I were to put an aromantic character into a romantic relationship, that would be a bit arophobic would it not? It would make it seem like I believe romantic relationships to be superior to platonic relationships.
But then I remembered that aromanticism and asexuality have spectrums. I am on said spectrum. My personal headcanon for Sherlock Holmes is now that he is grey-homoromantic asexual. Basically, he's never been in love until he met John.
That sounds pretty cliche, but that's how being greyromantic works for some people. People who identify that way, may only ever fall in love with one person romantically. Or they may experience romantic attraction for multiple people in their lives. All being greyromantic means is that you rarely experience romantic attraction, but sometimes you do.
Still unsure of whether I want to headcanon Johnlock to be a queer platonic relationship or full blown romance.
I want to add my aro-spec and a-spec Sherlock headcanons, because I don't feel that there are enough out there. Which is sad because just as representation is important for other identities to feel seen and valid, it seems as though aro-spec and a-spec people get next to no positive, respectful, accurate representation.
This can lead to people who are aro/ace feeling like there's something wrong with them. They may have a hard time finding an identity that fits them, and may lead to them having misconceptions about said identity which lead to them feeling invalid in their own identity. It took me three years to feel valid in being aroace, but also romance-positive and desiring a romantic relationship.
But now that I have educated myself on the matter, I want to spread the information to anyone who feels they are struggling with their potential aro-spec/a-spec identity. To people who are struggling with misconceptions which make them feel invalid.
Parentlock...
Rosie is the most adorable thing to happen to these characters and it's a shame that we didn't get to see more of her on the show. It's just as much of a shame that there are next to no headcanons, fanfic, fanart, anything of her. I plan to fix that.
I have no guarantees on the fanfiction, but I do plan to write a massive AU which is mostly canon-compliant, except I rewrite the episodes and change canon to be the way I personally would have liked it to be.
In my fanfiction series, I will write the infamous duo's adventures in raising Rosie. If I ever make it that far, that is. I will be starting my series in season one, and making my way slowly to a potential full rewrite of season four. Then after I've written every era of BBC Sherlock into my story, I will write Rosie's story. From being an infant, to an adult. I am a sucker for a good Parentlock adventure, and will be writing ALL of the Parentlock adventures.
But once again, zero guarantees. I have never written a full fanfiction in my life. I've never been motivated enough, no matter how many ideas I have. Every time I sit down to write down my ideas, they just escape and my brain goes blank.
To End Things Off...
I just wanted to end this by saying that I am excited to be a part of this fandom. I am excited to hopefully become as good as everyone else at analyzing every single scene for every little detail. I hope to one day be writing the analyses that I love to read so much.
I'm probably not going to mention this again on here, but I was on Tumblr a couple years ago. I didn't have the best experience with the fandom I was in, and it took a toll on my mental health. I have been debating coming back on Tumblr, but decided that it was important to share my headcanons. I can't think of a better place to share them than here.
I won't be reblogging anything that's unrelated to Sherlock, unless it's really funny and positive and something that I need as a part of my life on this blog. On my old account, I would feel immense guilt if I didn't reblog every single serious non-fandom post. While those posts were important, I found that it wasn't very healthy for me to constantly expose myself to them.
I want this to be as mentally healthy an experience for me as possible :)
Thank you for visiting ace-sher-bi-john please enjoy your stay!

I saw him sitting in piles of books in that dark, dingy room.
Finished oh hoho! I’m still in this chapter but time to pause and make some fan art (literally gasped when I moved my cam and saw Herlock sitting in Natsume’s book hills…
(Hope people follow my twitter too I got almost no traffic on twitter 😭👉Twitter
