I love the utter camp of the one (1) singular time they pulled some sort of Sherlock jumbo jumbo special effects to illustrate how Spencer thinks.

4 | the Woman
Tumblr media
Summary: There are times when cases need a woman's touch. This is where you finally introduce yourself to your brother-in-law. This is set at the end of S2 E1 A Scandal in Belgravia.
Pairing: Mycroft Holmes x Female Reader
<< PREV | NEXT >>
—————————— 🔎——————————
“There are people we can get into this,” Mycroft said,
“I tested that theory for you. I let Sherlock Holmes try for six months,” she bragged, “Sherlock, dear, tell him what you uncovered through that x-ray of my phone,”
Irene Adler, professionally known as the Woman, a dominatrix of significant influence was obvious. Her only advantage was the fact she was playing against men.
Half a year, the Holmes men stumped at what to do. What a sight, however, it’s best to end their misery.
The Woman hands over her list of requests. However, that’s not going to happen, not on your watch.
“Oh, that’s a shame. Can’t I join in the fun?” you said.
Their eyes shifted as you entered the study in your battledress. Her exchange pauses as you stand behind Mycroft. Your brother-in-law quietly observes and thinks by the fireplace. His head towards the three of you.
“I did hope Sherlock would get this one,” you sighed, as you stretched your hand out to Irene, “May I?”
“Be my guest,” she offered.
“You’re rather transparent,” you twirl the mobile in your hands, “You don’t need a genius to unlock this. Just a woman that understands her kind,”
“Oh, do go on,” she stands, to sit on the edge of the table.
“There are times when women are affected by their interests. Others would say this is a disadvantage. Yours are the Holmes men, specifically, Sherlock. There was no other way to get to Sherlock without committing a crime except in your profession, you could pursue a different avenue,” Your eyes rest on Mycroft as they start to figure it out, “Two birds in one stone. Agitate the older brother, you get the younger. Women play a different kind of dirty and you played a game against men that was your advantage. God, did you pull their strings well but that ends tonight. The psychology of women, gentlemen, is that the most obvious is sometimes the most overlooked,”
“Craving the distraction of the game I sympathize entirely but sentiment?” Sherlock stands, walks over, and reaches out to you for the phone which you finally hand over, “Sentiment is a chemical element found on the losing side,”
Oh, Sherlock how wrong you are on that. Love and sentiment can be an advantage.
“When we first met, you told me that disguise is always a self-portrait,” Sherlock mused, facing the Woman, “How true of you. The combination to your safe, your measurements, but this is far more intimate. This is your heart, and you should never let it rule your head.”
“You just couldn’t resist, could you?” you interjected.
“Everything I said, it wasn’t real,” she whispered, silently pleading to Sherlock, “I was just playing the game,”
“This is just losing,”
I AM SHER LOCKED
“Thank you for the additional information,” he addressed you, “It was enlightening,”
“There you are, brother,” he passes the device to Mycroft, “I hope the contents may make up for any inconvenience I may have caused you tonight,”
“I’m certain they will,” Mycroft assured. His brother started to stare out the window, “If you’re feeling kind, lock her up otherwise let her go,”
Willaim Sherlock Scott Holmes was nearly outsmarted by a woman. What a brilliant turn of events.
It wasn’t long until someone escorted the woman away leaving you to the Holmes men.
“I thought he wouldn’t get it,” you address Mycroft, sitting on the chair he previously occupied to observe Sherlock, “Then again if he knew where to look for the safe code, he would get it eventually,”
“Why are you here?” Mycroft said. You give a look and say, “You know why I’m here,”
“Who are you?” Sherlock asks.
“Do make a deduction, Mr. Holmes,” you challenged, standing up for a better view, “What can you say about me? Oh, I heard you’re quite good at this,”
His eyes quickly take a once over you. To the way you did your hair, makeup, and casual clothes. His brother, your husband, hovered on the other side of the table.
What will Sherlock say about you?
“On your dominant hand, your middle finger is calloused from how you hold your pen, suggesting office worker. In a high position, by the value of your shoes. Your makeup suggests you like to be presentable but not elaborate or gaudy. Your clothes are clean except for a few loose strands of hair. No pets. Your engagement and wedding rings, shiny and clean, happily married then. Your husband is successful in his career by the size of that diamond and…”
His ramble paused. His eyes meeting yours, you give a casual curious gaze. His senses were on overdrive, recognizing the particular scent of leather of a car that often escorted him to his brother.
“No, that’s not possible,” Sherlock withdrew, “Has my brother found himself a goldfish?”
“No, not a goldfish, brother mine,” Mycroft defends. His ring, matching yours, shines in the firelight, “No, she’s out of their league,”
“How long has that taken him?” you asked Mycroft, in front of you as Sherlock remained speechless, “A minute,”
“A good minute, yes,” he confirms, as he goes to stand by your side, “I do wonder why you decided to reveal yourself, my dear,”
“I was fed up. You two dancing in her tune for half the year,” you complained, “You ditched Christmas Morning traditions,”
“I promised to make it up to you, my dear,” Mycroft reminded, however, unable to act on his plans yet, “And I did return earlier than expected,”
“Six years, Myc! We never shirk on trad —”
Before you can finish your ramble, Mycroft leans in and presses his lips against yours in a tender kiss. It was a pleasant interruption.
One Sherlock didn’t appreciate.
Your eyes widen for a moment before you melt against him. Your arms wrap around his waist, returning the sentiment. Sherlock clears his throat, breaking the moment between you and Mycroft.
“Years?” he remarked, “I never knew the Iceman could melt,”
“No, just thaws from time to time,” you cheekily smile at Mycroft who rolled his eyes, “Are you two finished? I’d like to turn in before the sun comes out, ensures at least one of us gets sleep,”
“We are finished,” Mycroft affirmed, walking toward the door, “Do us a reprieve, brother mine, don’t take cases on the weekend. You don’t know what it does to our schedule,”
“It was nice meeting you, brother-in-law,” you teased, your smile caught him off guard, as you walked to Mycroft’s side. He didn’t remember the last time someone was pleased to meet him. They were often annoyed or irritated. “Have a good evening,”
His brother has been married for years, and he didn’t know. How could he not know?
“Shame I’d wanted to see the Woman in cuffs,” you comment, as you walk side by side through the halls, “It would have made for an interesting night,”
“Would you like that, my dear?” Mycroft asks.
“If you’re open to it,”

S2 E1 1:21:38 - Playing the game
Tumblr media Tumblr media
So imagine this: the only woman to outsmart Sherlock in the canon lost the Game. Now even she coud win the game.
Holmesian Speculation (also known as The Sherlockian game, the Holmesian game, the Great Game or simply the Game) is the practice of expanding upon the original Sherlock Holmes stories by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle by imagining a backstory, history, family or other information for Holmes and Watson, often attempting to resolve anomalies and clarify implied details about Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson. (x)

I need to admit something. I like the ending of A Scandal In Belgravia (Sherlock S2 E1), for one simple reason.
Irene Adler is a Machiavellian genius and master planner, who manipulates Sherlock Holmes, humiliating him in front of his brother and potentially the entire country.
And then, everything she worked for is undone in one countermove from Sherlock, for the pure and simple reason that she absolutely, could not quite restrain herself from making a pun.

What are some of your favorite specific moments in a tv show or movie that you can watch over and over again?
Like mine are the Jonsa reunion at the wall, the Ted lasso dart scene and the quiet love confession scene from Sleeping with Other People.
Hi lovely!
What a fun question, I do love that Ted Lasso darts scene. I had to give it some thought 🤔
The best TV kiss in history - Nick and Jess on New Girl (x) 🫠
The Kanthony “bane of my existence” scene it’s just off the charts sexy and charged 🥵
Taskmaster Joe and the potato throw - just classic Taskmkaster 🤣
Sherlock has some awesome moments in it. I think my fave is when he defeats Irene in s2 e1. That love is a dangerous game scene was crackling with tension.
Movies is tougher. The fucking montage in Up kills me every time 🥹
The sex scene in Team America World Police I wouldn’t say I can watch it over and over but everytime it’s fucking hilarious 😂
Ok there must be others im forgetting and I’m annoyed at myself for doing so. @hspgirl help me out here!
Thanks for this fun ask 🧡🧡

Yellowjackets S2 e1
I see they're leaning into the cult thing
Will they explain the origin of those symbols?
So Lottie definitely survived?!
Poor Lottie
Oh she became an actual cult leader. Like as an adult. Wow.
She has some sort of accent as an adult. She looks very similar to her teen self, but that accent kind of ruins it.
God I love Misty 😅
For a second I convinced myself that Jackie was alive 😭😭😭
Van and Taissa are so fucking cute 😭😭
I thought this was gonna be an idealised version of Jackie that Shauna was seeing but no, she's imagining the real thing. Just straight up torturing herself with her.
I'm assuming they're still eating the bear but they're running out.
Wait, they didn't find Javi? I thought I saw him in that scene where they found Jackie. Jarvis definitely dead then. Shit, I guess Shauna is responsible for two deaths then. Wait, three, there's also her boytoy.
I just wish Shauna would address her obvious lesbian feelings for Jackie and find some closure. Even though she's dead and can't possibly reject her, she's still pussyfooting around them.
I freaking love Misty
GARBAGE'S #1 CRUSH?! They really have too notch music.
Not gonna lie, I wasn't paying attention I was just vibing to the song.
Aaaaand they're still being shitty to Misty.
Of all the places to do it, your dead lover's studio has to be one of the worst.
I wonder if they tried fishing
At least this new character we never heard of before is nice to Misty. How many unnamed yellowjackets were they cause I noticed like three this time. I thought there was only like two whose names I didn't memorise.
Poor Misty 😭
Sherlock has nothing on Misty
I can't believe they set the tree on fire trying to burn evidence. These people are the dumbest criminals.
If Taissa is sleepwalking again well..get the handcuffs, Van.
The kid's been missing for two months? Jackie didn't last one night. He's definitely dead.
Nat was not fucking around during that escape attempt
They cut the randomest scenes between moments of action
That one between taissa and Van was freaking adorable though. 🥹
Trevor feels less like a romantic interest and more like a let or a mascot
Shauna took "I want you inside me" way too literally.
All in all a good start to the season. Still a lot of questions though.

Ok so John hates his middle name. Why? It was his father's.
John had an abusive Father, & the fact that his middle name was his dads name, makes him despise it.
He didn't want Sherlock to even know it- Sherlock found out by stealing John's birth certificate.
When he said "John Hamish Watson" to Irene Adler & Sherlock, he was kind of passive aggressive. He didn't like the flirting going on, so he recommended a name he hated.
Idk I'm just speculating.

Headcanon: this was Molly's Christmas gift in ASiB. She used acetone to remove the original paint, then added some red to the bottom and wrapped it with a photo of the original. Later, when Sherlock opens it, he laughs and promptly adds it to the tree.

Remember when an American agent hurt Mrs Hudson ever so Sherlock analysed him. Not his usual analysis, no he wanted to be sure of where his weak spots were, such as “ artery” “skull” “lungs” ribs” “carotid artery” and so on, so he could work out how to proberlh best the asshome to s pulp. Which he did. And when John walked in to see this man completely beaten up Sherlock’s response was “Mrs Hudson’s been attacked by an American, I’m restoring balance to the universe” while pointing a gun at saud American.
And then when Sherlock called the police he stated the American’s injuries which were “punctured lung, broken ribs and cracked skull” and he explained “he fell out of a window” except he hadn’t. But he did...about 3 seconds after Sherlock hung up. Which is how he did end up with said injuries. Pure genius.
Sherlock loves his mom (Mrs Hudson) so much, and it’s one of the things that keeps my heart beating.

S2 E1 42:02
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The counter on John's blog: The counter of John's blog is currently stuck at "1895" despite John trying to reset it. Sherlock thought this meant the blog had been locked like this in order to give him the password to Irene Adler's phone. The password was not accepted and it currently is unknown what happened to the counter. It was hinted in the director commentary for "A Scandal in Belgravia" that the hit counter was merely a joke, as 1895 was the year in which Sherlock Holmes was at his prime, according to the original stories by Conan Doyle. (x)
It is also a reference to the Holmesian catch-phrase "It's always 1895." It was first used by Vincent Starrett in the following poem:
221B
Here dwell together still two men of note Who never lived and so can never die: How very near they seem, yet how remote That age before the world went all awry. But still the game's afoot for those with ears Attuned to catch the distant view-halloo: England is England yet, for all our fears— Only those things the heart believes are true. A yellow fog swirls past the window-pane As night descends upon this fabled street: A lonely hansom splashes through the rain, The ghostly gas lamps fail at twenty feet. Here, though the world explode, these two survive, And it is always eighteen ninety-five. (x)
It can also reference the fact that they are still stuck in 1895, back when gay people had to hide their "indecency", their love from the world.
