How would The Moriarty Brothers Act As a Significant Other/Bf?
Tumblr media
Characters: Albert James Moriarty, William James Moriarty, Louis James Moriarty.
Format: Headcannons.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Albert J. Moriarty
Affluent, rich and successful in almost all aspects to live a luxuriously comfortable life. What else could one ask for?
His gaze follow you anytime you look at something that catches your eye. Perhaps you didn't tell him you wanted it because you felt shy or nervous? He'd keep it a secret - his awareness of you finding something you like.
The next day you'd find it on your bedside table when you wake up, all nicely wrapped.
I reckon he leaves love notes as well ranging from short 'Good morning'(s) to professing his love for you.
Very playful with you. Always, always joking around with you. He loves listening to the sound of your laughter.
Protective. I think he's a fairly jealous man. Definitely not the pouting, sulking type but more like the 'show-them-you're-his' kind of type.
What a gentleman. And I mean, WHAT A GENTLEMAN. Back of the hand kisses, kissing your face, tying your shoelace, opening the door for you..I could go on and on.
He loves to use his money on you.
He knows what he's doing. Although he probably hasn't been in a relationship before, his experience with noble ladies absolutely fangirling over him has probably made him an expert in that field already.
If something gets overwhelming for you, for example a function, he'll shift the spotlight away from you to him so you can have a break. Just like how he does the same thing with William and Louis. Only further proves his protective tendencies.
Tumblr media
William J. Moriarty
To be able to get into a relationship with him in the first place implies that you would need to have to break down through several walls that he built to shield himself and go through several obstacles (probably orchestrated by himself☠️).
But once you do, there's a certain comfortness he'll find in your presence. He'll be very vulnerable and turn emotional with you. Shocker. He's also really attentive.
Gets you out of predicaments with ease and can put up with your stubbornness.
He's very sweet and knows how to take care of you. Like, stroking a thumb over your lips if there's milk or something else that you didn't know was there when you just finished eating/drinking something.
Subtle, cute acts that make you swoon.
I'm so, so vey sure he writes love letters.
He's posessive, I'm sure. Contrary to the gentle exterior he has and even though he's quite soft with you, he's posessive. Proof is him going on and on about how Moran was his like a weirdo. Who says he can't do the same with you?
Not very experienced in the field of romance, but he would love to try out new things for you. There's also his intellect. This man probably does research on everything and anything relationship related to please you.
Your personal encyclopedia on all subjects. Don't know about a particular topic? There's nothing to worry about. William, of all people is your boyfriend after all.
Neck kisses. There's something he loves bout intimacy. Like, not just cheek kisses, though they are fine too but I think he loves to explore crevices of your body no one has explored before. Once again, makes him feel like you're his and only his.
Tumblr media
Louis J. Moriarty
He likes to bake and cook for you. Anything you want to eat or drink at like, 3 in the morning? He'll trudge out of bed and go make it for you.
He's the more snuggly type. He likes to get warm and cozy with you, especially if it's cold outside.
He's protective like Albert but unlike Albert's more discreet way of acting protective, he's more direct. More agressive with his ways. Just as he is with Sherlock whenever he gets close to William.
NOT EXPERIENCED AT ALL !! He's very clumsy. He probably hasn't even interacted much with ladies before but he tries so, so very hard for you. That's so endearing.
Lots and lots of forehead and nose kisses for sure.
He's not one to talk unless it requires for him to speak so he's pretty satisfied just hearing your voice and nodding his head. A wonderful combination if you like to go on and on about all kinds of random topics.
The type to get easily jealous. He, most likely, has not had alot of meaningful relationships in his life except the Moriarty group, so when he's in a relationship - he's very territorial and gets jealous even though he seems like a sweetheart. Which he is, ofcourse - but just for a selected few.
He gets bashful in the early stages of his relationship or if the two of you are trying out something new. He also likes to bury his face in your chest and neck.
A sucker for intimacy like his older brother.

Would it be too much to ask for a William James Moriarty x Holmes sister reader? Like she's a travelling archaeologist/anthropologist who's a genius in the field and has found many artifacts and lost cities and can be a bit of an eccentric looney like her older brother Sherly but she's also incredibly kind to those in need and often donates her treasures to the less fortunate and even helps Sherly from time to time which is how he meets her and is impressed by her smarts and sarcastic wits. Also, a bit of a parkour junky likes to wear mens clothes tailored for her measurements and often wears her hair in loose buns or ponytails and loves riding horseback much to Mycroft's displeasure🤭
A BUSINESS PROPOSAL

Reblogs and Comments are greatly appreciated!!

Fandom(s): Moriarty the Patriot
Pairing(s): William James Moriarty x Reader
Word Count: 3k
Genre(s)/Tag(s): Female!Reader, Holmes!Reader, Mildly sexist behavior from Mycroft? It is the 1800s after all.
Notes: So this was super fun to write! 
Fun fact! I took an archaeology class for my associate’s degree in criminal justice and highly recommend taking one to anyone in college! 
I actually took several anthropology classes (intro to anthro, bio anthro, and archaeology). I even considered switching my major to anthropology at some point! (I switched it to English lol)
PART TWO HERE
__________________________________________________________________________
Otis whinnies, and you reach forward from your place in the saddle to pat his neck.
“Easy, Otie, almost there.” You whisper to him and gently nudge him to turn down the familiar road of Baker Street. You could spot your brother’s flat from where you were at, an unfamiliar carriage parked in front. You frown briefly and then shrug. Sherlock could have whoever he liked over. 
But… he did promise to take you out on the town in celebration of your latest discovery. Did he forget?
No… He wasn’t the type to forget something like that. You had been exchanging letters for weeks about your coming home. 
A tall man was at the front of the carriage, tending to the horses. He had spiked black hair and a glove on one hand. He looks at you with skeptical eyes as you draw near and dismount your horse. The Cleveland Bay snorts, ruffling your hair as you smooth your hand up his snout and between his eyes. Then, you promptly tied his reins to the post outside 221B Baker Street and went up to the front door. 
The door knocker was more worn than you last remembered, with the shiny brass turning a glimmering gold color from all the hands touching it. You rap the door once, twice, then a third time, and wait, stuffing your hands in your trouser pockets. 
A young man opens the door, sandy blond hair combed neatly and brown eyes alight with curiosity. A grin breaks your face, and you step forward into his arms as he realizes just who is at the door.
“My dear John!” You shriek, and he chuckles, lifting you off your feet and spinning once in a circle before setting you down. 
“I thought you weren’t due back for another two weeks!” He replies excitedly, and you laugh gleefully. 
“We finished early! Anyhow, how’s Mary? Sherlock said you two were expecting!” You say and slap his shoulder good-naturedly. He ducks his head, a pink flush on his cheeks as he nods.
“She’s home at the mo. But yes, we’re expecting. The midwife thinks it’ll be a girl based on how she’s carrying.” He said, and before you could say any more, there was a noise at the top of the stairs. 
You turn, and your grin widens even more until your cheeks hurt. 
“Sherly!” You crow, and he bounds down the stairs to sweep you up in a bear hug. His boisterous laugh made your heart sing, and you buried your nose in his hair. He smelled like cigarette smoke and whiskey. He must have been on a case. He squeezes you tight and sets you down. 
“I thought you were coming back in two weeks!” He exclaims, and you roll your eyes,
“So John said, I told you we finished early!” You tease, and it is then that you notice that there is someone else in the flat. 
He was tall, probably around your brother’s height. He had blond hair and deep scarlet eyes that studied you with interest. He was dressed in a brown suit with a crimson tie. A lord. That much is obvious.
Sherlock notices that you notice his friend and gestures to the man at the top of the stairs. 
“This is Liam! A mathematics professor at Durham University and a friend of mine who helps me on my cases.” He says proudly as “Liam” descends the stairs and approaches you. 
You stick out a hand and introduce yourself. His hand is smooth like you expected, as opposed to your calloused one. You had bandages littering your fingertips from blisters from shovels and tools. 
“William James Moriarty. I’ve heard stories about you.” His British lilt is proper and endearing. You feel your heart flutter and your ears burn. But you smile warmly nonetheless and give his hand a firm shake.
“As much as I’d like to say the same, Sherly has yet to tell me about you in his letters.” You direct the last sentence to your older brother in the same teasing tone as before. 
Sherlock rolls his eyes and punches your shoulder lightly while William watches on in amusement. 
“I got distracted!” Sherlock complains, and you break out into giggles. 
“I would love to hear some stories if you’re up to it.” William cut in gently before you, and Sherlock could start bickering. You brighten. A chance to tell stories of your work and not have someone get bored? It sounded like heaven!
Tumblr media
That was how you got to where you were at the current moment. 
You were seated next to Sherlock at the Moriarty dining table, regaling them with a story of the most current dig you had been on.
“—and Egypt was absolutely smashing! It was so beautiful!” You say, waving your hands excitedly as you describe the tomb that had been uncovered. It had taken weeks to uncover everything, almost months. But oh so worth it. 
“Might I ask what you did with all the artifacts you found?” William inquires, and you hum as you sip at your wine. 
“Donated it all back to the locals. It’s the least I can do. Plenty of archaeologists steal their finds and bring them back to England to show in museums. I try and do the opposite.” You say and were pleased to see William nod in approval. 
At least someone shared your sentiment. 
Tumblr media
You got a letter to your very old and very dusty flat a week after your return to England, summoning you to your eldest brother’s estate. You had been dusting and cleaning your furniture when the postman knocked on your door. You frown, brushing your pants on the seat of your trousers, and answer the door. 
The letter was short. 
Dearest sister, 
I have received news of your return to Egypt. I would like to have your company at the family estate for dinner to discuss business and your adventures. 
With best regards, 
Mycroft Holmes
A summons to the Holmes family estate that your oldest brother had inherited after your parents retired to the country. You look at the ceiling and groan, eliciting a funny look from the postman. 
This was going to be fun.
Tumblr media
As soon as Otis realizes where you are, he tosses his head and tries to turn around. You tug the reins so he faces the right direction and nudge him into a walk down the road.
“Otie, I don’t want to do this either. But I’d rather not have Mikey send special forces after us or something.” You say to Otis, and when you reach the stables, Mycroft’s hired stable hand takes your beloved horse’s reins. “Take good care of him!” You nearly reprimand the stable hand who agrees and welcomes you back with ease. 
The maids welcome you in excitedly when you rap on the massive double doors, and you are ushered upstairs into the dining room. 
Mycroft was seated at the head of the table, where your father would be if he were here, and he stood to greet you. He offers a handshake, but you simply smile warmly and hug him tightly. He may have grated on your nerves, but he was still your brother. Mycroft stiffens and pats your shoulders awkwardly when you step back.
“As awkward as always, I see Mikey.” You said and took a seat at the table next to him like you did when you were kids. He clears his throat and calls for the kitchen staff to bring in the food. 
It wasn’t much, considering there were only two of you. But it was as extravagant as Mycroft always demanded it to be. 
“Would you like to change into dinner attire before we eat, sister dearest?” Mycroft says suddenly, just as you are about to dig into the delicious roast prepared by the staff of the household. You put your fork down and scowl.
“Don’t start with this, Mikey. You know I hate dresses.” You snap, and he raises an eyebrow but doesn’t push the issue. 
At least… he doesn’t until you are done with your meal and in his study, talking about your travels to Egypt. 
You down the rest of your whiskey and set the glass whiskey tumbler on the table between you two. 
“More whiskey?” He offers, and you shake your head.
“I want to be able to ride home after this.” You say and hold in a yawn. The excellent food combined with the fireplace blazing with a crackling fire is lulling you to sleep. 
Suddenly, Mycroft stands and walks in front of the fire, setting his own glass down on the mantle and turning to face you. 
“Might we talk some business?” He inquires, and immediately, your mood sours. 
So this was his end goal? Get you sleepy and drunk so you couldn’t ride home and were subject to his pleadings?
“I don’t want to hear it, Mikey.” You say and stand, holding onto the back of the wingback chair for a moment as the dizziness sets in. 
He scowls, 
“You are of perfect age. The season is just starting. You could still join in and find a potential suitor!” He tries, and you scrub at your face.
“I already told you I wasn’t interested in courting! I’m interested in—”
“Your work, I know. But what happens when the digs dry up and there’s nothing else for you to do? What will you do when you get too old for this?!” He snaps, and you whirl, steadying yourself with the chair as your anger flares. 
“It won’t dry up! There are thousands of years of history still to be discovered! Hundreds of thousands of cities and archaeological finds!” Your voice rises to a shout, and you hear distant footsteps as maids scurry away from you and your brother’s anger. 
This goes on for several minutes until Mycroft a bomb on you. 
“Mother and Father have decided. If you don’t find someone to court, they will no longer fund your excavations, and you’ll be stuck here with me.” 
You freeze, hands wound tightly in your hair, and argument dying on your tongue. 
“B—But that would mean—” Mycroft cuts you off gently and approaches, putting his hands on your shoulders. 
“You’d be stuck here until you find a husband—no more digs. No more artifacts. Not until you do as they and I ask.” Tears well up in your eyes, and you shrug off his hands violently and flee. 
Your boots pound against the hardwood floors, and you run outside where it has started pouring rain. Instantly, your clothes are soaked as you make it to the stables, dress Otis in his saddle and bridle, and swiftly mount his back. He tears out of the stables at a thundering gallop, and the stable hand barely dives out of the way to save himself from being trampled. 
Otis’s hooves dash against the cobblestone roads. You cling to his reins and hunch over his back as tears stream down your face and sobs wrack your body. 
Stupid, stupid, stupid!
Taking away your funding? 
No one wanted to fund a woman on an archaeological dig! 
Much less one as young as yourself! 
You were screwed! Doomed to live as a housewife because that was society’s and your parent’s expectations of you!
Otis eventually comes to a halt, and you dismount, collapsing onto a bench, breathing hard as rain pours down your body. Your shirt sticks to your skin, and your trousers swim in water as you sit in a puddle on the bench. But you can’t bring it in you to care. 
A carriage rumbles to a stop before you, and you look up as the door opens. 
“Might I interest you in some shelter?” Comes a proper and endearing accent that you recognize. 
“William?” You sniffle, and he smiles, extending a hand. 
“If you’ll let him, Fred will handle your horse. How about you step inside the carriage, and we’ll take you back to the Moriarty estate.” He says over the rain. A young man with a blue scarf wrapped around his head gets off the front of the carriage and approaches. You hiccup and nod, handing Otis’s reins to the young man and accepting William’s hand into the carriage. He sheds his overcoat and offers it. 
It’s warm and heavy as you wrap it around your shoulders and sit down. Your boots squelch against the floor, and William knocks twice against the carriage's wall, and it starts moving once again. 
The Morairty estate is even grander than you remember, looming over you as the carriage stops by the front doors. You nearly slip in your haste to get inside and are taken up the stairs to one of the many bedrooms. 
“Draw a bath and get warm. I’ll have some clothes brought by. We can have a talk after you’ve collected yourself.” William says gently, and you nod, taking off his overcoat so he can have it back. He excuses himself, and you are left alone in the suite. 
The bath is nice and hot, and you let out a sigh as you shed your clothes into a pile on the floor and sink into the warm water. Your tears are drying, but your emotions are still raging like a rabid dog inside you.
How could they? 
Didn’t your family know archaeology was your passion? Your dream?! Of course, they did! You never shut up about it when you were but a little girl learning to play the piano! You babbled on and on about fossils and artifacts in between lessons until you were blue in the face!
It wasn’t long until you were done in the bath and dried off. As William had promised, some clothes were left on the bed. A button-down that looked like it might fit you, a pair of trousers that might be a bit too long, and a pair of undergarments. You tugged on the underwear and then the trousers, having to cuff them at the bottom so you didn’t trip. The shirt fit better than you thought so you pinned your hair out of your face and left the bedroom and down the hall. Hadn’t there been a sitting room just down the stairs? 
William was inside, stoking a fire with a poker, his back to you. He stood and turned when you rapped lightly on the entryway. His lips curled in a welcoming smile, and he gestured for you to take a seat. 
“Would you like some tea? I had Louis put the kettle on.” He said, and you nodded, sitting on the couch beside the fire.
“Thank you. For the clothes and… everything else.” You mumble, and he shakes his head,
“Don’t mention it. Sherlock mentioned you hated dresses.” He says and pours you a cup of tea.
It’s delicious. It warms you from the tips of your ears to the ends of your bare toes. You scuff them on the plush carpet as William sits across from you. His scarlet eyes are illuminated like glittering rubies in the oranges and yellows of the fire. They’re alive like a torch resides inside. 
“Now, might I ask why you were out in the rain?” William asks as soon as you’ve settled into your spot. You bite your lip and wonder if you can trust him with your problems. 
Sherlock trusted him well enough… 
Perhaps…
“I got into an argument with Mycroft. He said my parents will cut off my funding for excavations if I don’t find a proper husband.” You blurt, and he hums as he takes a sip from his cup. 
“I assume they’ve been funding your past archaeological escapades?” He says, and you nod.
“Correct. But that is going to change unless I get married.” You grumble, and he cocks his head to the side, setting his cup down on the tea table next to him and seemingly mulling something over. 
“This may be a bit forward, but I have a proposal. A business proposal, if you will.” He starts, and you narrow your eyes. A business proposal? You set your own cup down and cross one leg over the other. 
“Go on…” You say hesitantly, and he clasps his hands together as if working out a problem in his head. Sherlock did say he was a mathematics professor.
“I could marry you.” You inhale sharply and proceed to choke on your saliva. William half gets out of his chair to come to your aid when you finally get your coughing under control. 
“Why?!” You demand, and he shrugs, 
“I’ve done some research into you. You are spearheading the way in new archaeological techniques. You donate your finds back to the locals in need. And frankly, I find you fascinating. If we go ahead with this, you’ll have access to my brother Albert’s influence as well as the Moriarty name and fortune.” He says, and you sit back, stunned. 
“I could continue my work?” You say skeptically, and he nods. 
“Indeed. There’s no reason to stop you. I might ask for a lecture or two from you at Durham University. But that’s it. So…” He extends a hand for you to shake. “Have we reached an accord?”
You are speechless as possibilities run rampant through your brain. You’d be free from your parent’s influence as well as pleasing them. Though pleasing them was the last thing on your mind. Yes, you’d be married. But like William said… it was more of a business proposal…
You reach forward and shake his hand. His smile widens marginally as you speak,
“I accept your proposal.”

You Dangle The Mistletoe
summary: how some mtp men react when you dangle the mistletoe above you ;)
warnings: slightly suggestive in all except louis n herder (??)
WILLIAM JAMES MORIARTY
Tumblr media
William had spent the entire day locked in his study
He didn’t mind as the hours flew by but you begged to differ
All was quiet while he continued to read his book until he heard a rather loud knock at the door.
He wonders who it is (not)
He expected you to simply walk in and yet when he didn’t hear your footsteps or was only then did he turn around.
You stood there with the mistletoe laying on top of your head
Like a statue waiting for his reaction first
He attempted to hide his smirk but of course you saw right through
“Take that off your head, y/n” He sighs, his eyes still stuck to the page.
You don’t even think he was actually reading at this point, surely it doesn’t take that long to read one page
“I will if only you-
“If only I what ?”
“Take off your clothes first”
William could no longer hide his smirk
ALBERT JAMES MORIARTY
Tumblr media
It was late eventing and Albert had finally returned from his military duties
But what you didn’t expect was to find Albert still in his uniform.
But it was a good surprise
You always thought he looked good in any colour but he something about him in red had you hot and bothered-i always get carried away when writing about Albert plss
Anyways he’s standing there looking proud and you’re dangling that mistletoe with your shaking hands and all is well
He then joins you by your side and does not hesitate in kissing you
You both enjoy yourself as you spend hours minutes kissing
When I say enjoy I mean like really enjoy
But next thing you know he’s groping your chest :0
“Albert !” You gasp at the sudden pleasurable sensations
He apologizes but he doesn’t mean it
He looks down at you with this mesmising emerald eyes that are glazed over with lust as he chuckles at the sight of your face becoming hot-
“You were holding it rather low, y/n”
LOUIS JAMES MORIARTY
Tumblr media
Louis stood rather anxiously in the kitchen as he listed to himself the ingredients he needed to gather to prepare supper
As always you were prepared to lighten the mood
Of course it never made him feel better you just got a laugh out of it most of the time
With his back facing you, you did spend quite some time simply watching him as he worked.
You were about to make him stress even more
“I think you’re missing something.”
He acts like he knew you were there but he didn’t (at least the whole time you were there)
“What is it ?” He rather blunt while you giggle showing off the mistletoe
He just stands there looking at you and you’re starting to get freaked out by his judgemental stare
He can’t help it though he struggles with expressing himself :(
He quickly catches on and trust me he wants to give you a little kiss but what if moran walks in ???!
Nobody is ever in the mood to deal with that man
Eventually he does come to your side and gently presses a kiss to your cheek
He does look behind your back to make sure no one is there
“Here” You hand him a napkin from the kitchen counter only for him to raise a brow in confusion at you
“You have a squished berry on your cheek”
SHERLOCK HOLMES
Tumblr media
Sherlock had mentioned to you earlier in the day that his day would be filled with jobs so he of course told you not to wait up for him
Of course you never listen to him
To be far as it was already late you didn’t think you’d have to wait long for his return.
You were so wrong
You decided to wait up holding the mistletoe above your head waiting
Sherlock was gone so long you literally fell asleep
Some time went by Sherlock was busy :(
Your eyes flutter open to see the room in complete darkness except for a candle keeping the room in a dimly light
“What’s this ?”
You jump up in shock to see the sight of Sherlock standing over you holding the mistletoe as if to inspect it
“Nothing !” You laugh, without hesitation you grab it right from the detective
But still Sherlock observed it, noticing immediately how hot your face became as you twiddled with it nervously
“Perhaps it should be lower.”
Next thing you know the mistletoe is laying on your stomach ;)
Let’s just say…Sherly knows where to place his kisses <3
VON HERDER
Tumblr media
You didn’t have to search far when it came to looking for Herder
“Herder !!!” You called, of course not surprised to see the man hunched over working on something you could only guess was an invention or so
With his back facing you as he was sat in his chair you didn’t hesitate to make your presence more known
“Oh hello” He smirks at slight ticklish sensation of the mistletoe touching the tip of his nose
Still sitting, he looked straight up tilting his head back already anticipating exactly what you came for
He couldn’t help but chuckle as you rather hastily pressed a quick kiss against his lips
“Well thank you for my present, y/n” He stands up from his seat.
He could tell you were blushing
With his figure now standing in front of the table tho truly did begin to wonder what exactly he was working on
But with Herder you were never left wondering long
“Here’s your present !”
Your jaw dropped as soon as you saw what was laid out on the table
“My very own gun !!!!”

Tumblr media
49. “I told you this is how it ends.”
You looked with visible regret at the figure sitting across from you, on an uncomfortable chair in a cramped room lit by dim white light. Next to you stood your friend and co-worker, who is a five years older than you, and opposite your person, with a calm expression on his face, sat William, who just a few days ago was drinking tea with lemon with you, and today he was accused of murder. And with particular cruelty.
The young man, however, didn’t reveal anything; no sadness, no bitterness, his eyes showed no positive or negative emotion. Just plain emptiness, interspersed with the flash of a lamp above the three of you.
“What made you kill Sandy Moriarty, née Lonewood?” Asked a young policeman, also a profiler by profession. “She was your sister-in-law after all.” Your eyelid twitched with slight sadness. Sandy was Louis’ partner; they had been together for over two years. You even had the opportunity to meet her – she had foxy hair and calm eyes, and she was a talented painter. “Moriarty answer to me.” The uniformed man’s voice was low and firm. Unlike your expression: soft, full of despair.
“… Well. I had my own reasons, sir.”
“What reasons?”
“It’s all my business, sir.” Your co-worker just sighed, looking at the accused with a disbelieving expression. His nose wrinkled and the whiskers beneath it twitched slightly.
“Y/N, I’ll be right back. I’ll go get some papers and things. Keep an eye on him.” You only nodded at his words, never taking William out of your sight. His long blond hair fell unruly over his forehead and his chest slowly moved back and forth.
As soon as Alois left the small room, devoid of furniture and color, your hands trembled slightly and your eyes turned to the right wall.
“Who are you protecting, William? Tell me.”
“… For your safety, let it go. It’s not a matter of solving the mystery of who stole the little child’s candy and why. Just accept it all that it just had to be like that and let it go.”
“Why?” You repeated in a slightly more confident voice, and your eyes met the ruby ones.
“I told you this is how it ends.” He whispered. “I’m not from your world, Y/N. And I never will be. You wanted to protect me, I appreciate that, but it won’t always go your way. We’re too different.” He added, and after a while the door to the room let in a bit more cold and light. Your work partner stopped next to you again and threw a few photos and descriptions from the scene on the gray table, pursing his lips at the same time.
The photographs showed the silhouette of a woman in a beautiful yellow dress, with a large smear of scarlet blood and several bullets around her.
Whatever your intentions were, you certainly wouldn’t be able to help William anymore, who in your eyes at that moment was just a murderer hiding behind a mask of a calm smile and pale skin. Although your heart was obviously burning like a hot coal, you couldn’t do anything more than look at the photos and move one of them closer to the blonde male.

in another life. - w. j. moriarty
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
just a lil something that's been in the drafts for a while now.... 😇
warnings : mtp anime end + manga spoilers, cussing, stabbing & other mentions of killing/violence, sherlock is called a bastard twice (2 times), reader is called "beautiful" once (1) but no pronouns otherwise, ignore the "- divider -" it wont let me add the pic for some reason
w/c : 1671
Tumblr media
maybe it was the way he carried himself, or maybe it was his selfless nature; you never knew the exact reason why you fell for the crime lord in disguise. it just.. happened.
you wouldn’t call it effortless, but you can’t call it hard either. loving william might have always been easy, but loving him never was.
loving william in a physical way was horribly hard. he was always overworked and tired– or working– and most importantly, on his merry way to rid england of the corrupt nobles. he was doing a great thing, you told yourself (the ‘but the wrong way’ remained unsaid, as always), and you couldn’t wait to see the nation become one he’s always dreamt of. a place where people feel safe, and, most importantly, equal.
only, you wanted to see it with him by your side.
yet as your eyes follow his figure and that of the accursed detective he’s grown so fond of– sherlock holmes, the bastard, that should be you– falling into the thames river, you realize that maybe, maybe he hasn’t told you the extent to how far he’s willing to go for this nation. maybe you were too naive, maybe you missed the signs, or maybe he simply didn’t trust you enough to tell you about his plans. now you’ll never know.
you remember one time you overheard the brothers arguing, liam saying “you don’t know what it’s like walking alone every step of the way” then apologizing right after, only to be met with silence. a few moments passed and you heard louis reply “you don’t know what it’s like either, brother. we started this journey together and have walked the path together, as a team. it’s only the destination you insist on reaching alone,” and now you realize, maybe you should’ve inquired about the meaning behind his words.
except, you didn’t. you thought if it’s something important, liam will tell you sooner or later. spoiler alert, he didn’t.
now all you feel is the betrayal settling in your heart because while everyone else knew, they never thought about telling you. no “oh hey, by the way, your boyfriend is going to sacrifice himself soon, but no worries we got sherlock on the job”– a plan which backfired since both of them jumped– nothing. what hurt the most was not even liam thought to tell you.
and here comes the guilt baring its teeth, biting into your heart and lungs and suddenly you can no longer breathe or hear anything other than the ringing in your ears– you never even got to say goodbye. he was just going to die without saying anything. he just.. left you there.
when you saw their bodies splash into the river you felt like a part of yourself drowned with them. with him.
Tumblr media
the days after the incident were a blur. you don't quite remember anything through a whole month after they jumped. everyone around you slowly realized you knew nothing of the plan. albert couldn't talk to you about it very long as he got locked up. moran disappeared off the face of the earth soon after. all you had were fred, james and louis, and perhaps they were all you needed. every step of the way, they stood by your side.
you were a team after all. since your younger days. there were more of you back then, but, maybe the 4 of you could go on until you reunite with albert– and hopefully moran– somewhere down the path.
3 months. 3 months have passed.
days turned into weeks, weeks into months.
you missed william dearly each day, but you are not as depressed as you were anymore. louis has been made leader of m16, albert was still sitting in his cell, moran was still missing and fred was tending to his flowers. some things just don't change, you chuckled.
thanks to louis' new position you had responsibilities and jobs to carry out again. you'd say it's with less people but that would be a lie. herder has finally wormed his way into the actual missions– technically. 
things start getting crazy from there. 1st a mission regarding moran, next a briefing with the older holmes, next the younger one– the absolute bastard– shows up. without william.
you take a step back– maybe you weren't over it after all, but if you stabbed him right now mycroft would kill you. louis verbalized the thoughts you all had, ".. that day, you fell down the river thames with brother william.. and now, you're the only one standing in front of us like this. can you.. please explain?"
sherlock goes to tell the story of how he awakened on a boat heading for america with bandages all over him and william both. met a guy called henry (also known as billy the kid, apparently), who was the one to patch them up and watch over them and blah blah blah– you stopped paying attention halfway. you only zoned in when he mentioned the blond.
".. i got a telegram from liam; 'help m16 for me' he said. and that's how i ended up back in london, in secret." 
when you opened your mouth to speak, fred stole the words right out of your mouth, "mr. william is .."
it hit you then. not like a punch in the face, more like a direct run in with a truck. he didn't die. he's.. he's not dead. he's alive. for the love of god, he's alive.
uncontrollable tears were streaming down your cheeks. it wasn't just a dream, wasn't just something you made yourself believe to cope with his 'betrayal'. it's real. he's alive.
the room broke out in chaos once the news registered in herder's brain. he reminded fred of his new roses, and you of your one wish coming true– it didn't last long however, as louis got right back to the point of the briefing.
Tumblr media
"you really are just like liam."
"mr. holmes, may i have a moment?"
you couldn't help yourself, you rushed to the door after it closed behind the 2 men.
".. thank you. for that time.. and all the way until now, for not forsaking my brother.. for saving his life.. from the bottom of my heart, thank you."
william and albert went around greeting everyone in order. you stepped away and chose to gaze out the huge window while you waited. eventually, you were the only one left.
you smiled softly then; you can imagine how much those words meant to louis. they were true, though.
- divider -
yet another mission is over, and now moran is back among your little no-longer-criminal-organization group. it took fred almost being shot, a poker card from william, and a lot of convincing, but he's home. you're back to bickering and teasing each other, just like old times.
barely 2 days later, william and albert showed up, sending the tea cup fred was holding shattering. the idea of letting the 3 brothers have their reunion first was a collective agreement so you pushed louis into the hallway and shut the door softly. 
with a soft sigh, you avoided listening in on their conversation this time (much unlike the other occupants of the room; specifically herder, who went tumbling the moment the door opened).
taking the cue, the others slowly filed out of the room, leaving only you and william, who was staring at your back intently.
"you have an eyepatch now i see," you said, turning to face him.
the sun behind you illuminated your figure just right. you looked exactly like an angel would. maybe this a sign, he thinks.
"i do indeed. you've grown even more beautiful than i remember."
"flattery will get you nowhere, pretty boy," you sighed, "why didn't you tell me?"
"i couldn't, i'm sorry. you looked so happy. i couldn't bring myself to ruin it for you. for us. i thought, in the end, if i shouldered the responsibility myself, maybe you'd realize i was a monster all along. tainted, with hands covered in blood. i didn't deserve to hold you, love you, the way i was."
"you're very wrong about that. you were, are, and will always be the most beautiful and selfless soul i know– even if that whole bridge jump scene was very selfish, if i do say so myself," you move closer to him to cup his cheeks (still as soft as you remember, though slightly more bony) and caress them softly, "you deserve everything and more, liam. if the stars would make you happy i'd go and pick some for you. you should've talked to me, relied on me a little more. i thought we were a team, an unstoppable duo, you know? i can't be a duo on my own; neither can you."
"i know now. i'm sorry. are you still mad?"
you looked at him as if he hung the sun and stars himself and he believes he has an answer to that question, "i'm not mad at you. i can't be. i love you too much for that."
the love in your eyes is mirrored in his vermillion one, the burning intensity of it almost swallowing you up like the flames in a burning building, yet the warmth is friendlier– gentler – the last rays of a summer sunset by the ocean.
"never do anything like that ever again, alright blondie? promise me."
"i promise."
you remove your hand from his cheek, placing it in the small space between you and raise an eyebrow in amusement, "do you pinky promise?"
he can only chuckle and hook his pinky with yours, "i pinky promise."
the deal is sealed with a kiss filled with 3 years worth of words and emotions left unsaid.
perhaps it was meant to be like this. is this what "in another life" means? most likely not, yet still. he's a new person and so are you. your lives are not what they used to be.
maybe this is your "another life".

William James Moriarty React with a S/O Who's weak at self Defense
Tumblr media
Warning: Fluff
William x reader
The first time you see him in action made your eyes sparkle by how cool he was. Taking all the bad guys by himself.
The next day, he was working in his office but soon you entered and dash towards him with excitement in your eyes and William is just like: 🙂 ???
"Do you need something, darling?"
The moment when you tell him that you wanted him to teach you self defense had him surprised a little and will ask by your sudden request.
"Well after watching you yesterday, I felt a little attracted to that so called 'self defense' as long as you're the one who teach me. If you have free time... That is."
William just chuckle by your answer to find it so adorable. He himself had never seen you in action made him think twice about letting him mentor you but of course he knew that your body is fragile and gently refused your request
You were pouting and try various attempts to make him mentor you but he saw where you're going and still refuse.
You gave up and began to leave his office with a down look on your face but William quickly pulled you and sighed.
"I'll teach you but promise me that this should only be done as protecting yourself not for selfish reasons."
Your face started to lighten up again and nod.
After you successfully made William agree, you were so happy to watch your lover teach you but at the same time you yourself knew your body can't take too much damage or energy but you didn't pay much attention and continue to let William teach you.
Even if William lets him teach you, he himself is protective over you. He himself is scared that you'll hurt yourself.
"firstly we will be doing the basics. There are many tricks for example Groin kick, Elbow strike, Heel palm strike, and Hammer strike. But before we get there try punching me."
"P-punch you? In the face?-"
"-No" William smile as he facepalm "in the chest, my love " He exclaime
You were nervous first and tell him that you're afraid of hurting him and William shoke his head to tell you it's alright. His body can take it, he just wants to know how much energy you have with 1 punch before moving to the next round. You began to position yourself as you try to punch his chest with all your might but as you punch him it felt nothing but a pillow hitting him. He laughed by how quick you give up but he soon walk towards you and pat your head.
"Now, now, princess there's no need to be embarrassed. Surely you won't give up just because of a small punch now. You know... There is a reward for you if you keep on going. "

All is Fair in Law and Murder
I know this blog is dedicated to Levi but I couldn’t help myself.
William James Moriarty x Reader 
Summary: The reader is on the scales between justice and revenge after receiving a strange letter and mid party rendezvous with a long time crush. To what end is the reader willing to go and how will they tip the scales. (Implied female reader, however gender is never mentioned)
Warning mentions of violence and self-mutilation
Tumblr media
Pleading self defence was a part of your agenda.
Lets Rewind.
9 hours prior. 
You stepped out into the hallway that lead to the courtyard. The cool summer wind blew through the greenery and brushed your skin gently. You weren’t one for extravagant events especially those hosted in your favour. 
Your thoughts linger on the letter you received yesterday. The implied accusations seemed far-fetched and irrational and more like a plot to get you to retaliate. However, the voice in the back of your mind whispered horrible things to make it seem as if the letter was genuine. It wasn’t long until someone rescued you from yourself.
“Do I dare say what a coincidence?” You spoke but didn’t turn to face the newly arrived company.
“Indeed I am here of my own volition.” 
“So why is William James Moriarty at my suitor party? You didn't come to ask for my hand did you?” You made it seems like a joke but in truth, William was a fine man and if he had come for that reason you wouldn’t decline. You knew this wasn’t the case. Your feelings for the man went largely unnoticed at least that was what you were under the impression of.
He lightly chuckled at your attempt to amuse him. The reality was that he knew that after you were set to marry, the two of you would no longer share mundane moments like these and if he were in honesty, he would deeply miss you. In another life, he would’ve asked you to marry him to share your life with him and him alone. That would be selfish right? To drag you into his world, surely you would resent him.
He’d rather keep you at a distance, for you to keep your light naïve demeanour. The world could use more noblemen like you.
You leaned on the concrete railing. “ Don’t you find it odd?” you spoke up “ How a perfectly healthy woman woke up dead from an unexplainable illness?” You hardly spoke of your mother and he never pressed you. He tried not to get too involved in your life choosing to ignore the things he picked up through his keen observation skills. 
“Pay no mind to my words, perhaps I am just reminiscing since I'm due to be married” Your words stung a little as if your acknowledgement of the situation made it seem more real. William gently takes your hand and places a penny in your palm, You look at him confused. “ A penny for your last thoughts” He whispered.
You held the penny up to your heart. “We can no longer meet like this.” you remind him you can’t be his. You turn to leave and he allows you to walk away.
You enter the large ballroom, “ Cheers to my child’s engagement, Italy is a fine place indeed.” So he had decided to ship you off to Italy, Father of the year alright.
You didn’t return to the party instead you returned to your quarters and waited for all the guests to empty out of the manor. You then approached your father's study.
“It’s late, you have an awful amount of packing tomorrow before you leave for Italy, I suggest some rest is in order” Your father was strict almost like he had no care for you. A mindless pawn for his disposal but not anymore.
“ I received a strange letter...” Intrigued he looked up at you and you passed the letter to him. “ It isn’t true right?’ 
“ Of course not, don't be naïve!” 
“Right of course father, it seemed quite ridiculous”
“Have you shown this letter to anyone?”
Bingo!
“ How could I, that letter is extremely incriminating to our family name” you place a glass of wine on his desk. He gets up and picks up the glass, swirling the liquid inside. before abruptly throwing the glass against the wall behind you.
“How foolish of you to think I would fall the same trick I used against your mother.” He pushed you against the wall aiming a shard from the broken glass at your throat. 
“ Now I will kill you just like I did your mother and everyone will think you were so in love that you rushed to Italy to be with your dear beloved. I’ll be free of burdens, Oh how long I waited for...” You pulled the letter opener out from his chest.
“ The wine was never poisoned” you grabbed his hand making a slight incision on your neck with the glass shard. He fell to his knees and you placed your foot on his shoulder pushing him onto the wooden floor of the study to simulate a struggle.
“Now, I’ll kill you and plead self-defence!”
You watched as the light slowly left his eyes before dropping the letter opener and running off frantically begging for help to sell your act.
You walked out of the station that morning cleared of charges and framed as the victim, it turns out your father committed many crimes over the last decade which came to light upon his death.
When you stepped into the street you were faced with none other than William. He was about to open his mouth to say something but instead, you spoke up first.
“Wait one moment...” you rummaged through your pockets before stepping closer to him. You whispered in his ear. “ A penny for your thoughts?” you leaned back slightly placing the penny in his jacket pocket near his chest.
He gently placed his hands on either side of your face stepping closer. “ Marry me,” he whispered on your lips before kissing you softly.
Perhaps you’d have a place in his world after all.

Inspired by „I wanna be yours” by Arctic Monkeys
I wanna be yours…
It’s a heavy, spring rain. You two are in your bed, cuddling together. You’re holding your hand with his. That’s only one thing you need to be happy.
I wanna be yours…
It’s a nice, warm day, and you two are in the middle of the forest, holding your hands together and enjoying the sound of silence and nature.
I wanna be yours…
It’s the evening. You two are in your bed. You feel safe in his arms. So calm in his arms. So important in his arms.
I wanna be yours…
You’ve already ended your lessons in school. The sun is setting. People are quickly going home, the sound of people’s laughs and talks is more quiet with every second. He comes to you starts holding your hand. His other hand is on your cheek, caressing it gently.
”I wanna be yours…
I just wanna be yours”
Ranpo, Fyodor, Chuuya, Dazai, Sigma, Oda(bsd)
William James Moriarty, Luis James Moriarty, Sherlock (moriarty the patriot)

✦ A LOVE THAT MELTS ALL
✧ william james moriarty x fem!reader
✧ summary: he's insecure of his scar but he has you. short fluff.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
IT WAS THE NIGHT AFTER HIS RETURN; exactly three years later. the lit candle was dim, barely illuminating the bedroom that you and william shared and overall casted a hue of dull orange throughout the room.
you're situated on your heels between his legs on the bed, palms flat against the matress beneath and in the slight gap between your body and his own. william's back, which was already resting against the headboard of the bed, pushes itself even further back against it when you push your face upwards to him.
you're close. too close. he swallows hard, and you watch the prominent adam's apple on his neck bob.
“..darling? is something the matter?” he looks down at you. his voice is soft, confused and uncertain all at the same time. you're staring too hard at him to merely brush it off as 'observing'. applying that word here would be too much of an understatement.
“may i ask what you're wearing the eyepatch for?” your head tilts by the slightest degree, curious.
right.
right. william lets out a breathy exhale.
he hadn't told you about that part yet. with all the emotions and feelings upon his return, he really hadn't found the time to tell you. and quite frankly—he really didn't want to tell you. but he does anyway.
“i.. obtained a scar during my fall.” he clears his throat. “from the westminster bridge.” he watches as your expression turns into one of sincere sympathy. he hadn't even realised he was nuzzling his cheek against your outstretched palm, holding his face.
until you say the words: “can i see it?”
william freezes. you can only watch as his face dissolves into one of panic, widened eyes and a dry throat that he tries to rid of by gulping thickly. “i.. i think it would be in our best interests if i don't show you, and that you don't see it either.”
“but why?”
“why..?” he repeats weakly. why, you ask? it is because you're going to find me hideous. it is because i have done all that i possibly can for as long as i have known you so that you may see me as my best self and that revealing this ugly, disgusting mark on my face now would ruin it all.
“i'm afraid cannot show it to you. it is not a pretty sight.” he scrunches his face slightly and turns his face away from you, as if unsettled by the very idea.
“you must think of me a fool if you think that i care about aesthetics over my lover, liam.” you tell him, sighing with the back of your fingers caressing his cheek. he flinches. “if it's made you what you are right now, then isn't that more beautiful than anything else? you don't have to be perfect to be beautiful, you know.”
“i...” but he cannot seem to refute. nor find any reason to. your words would have made him cry, had he not felt so uncomfortable. “(name)..”
you smile subtly. “but at the end of the day, it depends on you whether you want to show it to me. i won't force you, nor will i let anybody else force you either.” you make an effort to pull back but the blond suddenly pulls you back right in.
a yelp from you in surprise at the sudden tug from him and you're crashing against his chest. both of his hands wrap around your wrists gently. “no, no. you're right, i.. it would be better if i show you it now than procastinate any further. i most likely would not be able to gather the courage if i'm any later.”
his hands fall to his sides, allowing you to do as you please. allowing you to lift off his eyepatch. your eyes crease at the corners while your lips form into a smile. “yeah.” you say. “thank you for being brave.”
your fingers are cautious and gentle on him as one hand rests on his cheek while the other goes behind of his head to unlace the string holding it together.
his breath hitches. a pull from your finger at the string and the eyepatch flutters down onto his lap.
on his left eye is a healed scar. scar tissue, to be exact. the eye colour, which previously used to be a vibrant and a lovely shade of red seems to have lost it's colour as well. the silence lingers in the air. william's fidgeting now, but trying to make an effort not to show it. his face has, once again, dipped away from you. he's embarrassed, face tinged with a light pink. he's biting the inside of his cheek, anxious.
“liam..” you breathe out after a long while. “you're beautiful.” he shakes his head, unconvinced.
william turns to peek at you. “lying to me now would be cruel. i can understand if you find me disgusti—”
then why the long pause? he thinks to himself but does not say it. my love, are you grossed out by me?
but the truth was far, far from his thoughts.
you palms press against his chest as you push yourself up and in an instant, your lips are pressed softly, gently over his eyelid. he flinches sharply.
“(name)—?” he's surprised. baffled.
“i will say it to as many times as you need to hear it, william. you're beautiful. you're beautiful. you're beautiful. you're beautiful.” you pull back, smile at him, give his cheek a slight squeeze and watch as his face—no, his entire being almost melt into a puddle.
his hands, those warm hands and his slender fingers wrap around your waist, tread upwards by the slightest until they find place over your ribcage with the uttermost softness. and he pulls you in.
“i love you.” you mumble silently against him. he doesn't do much but press his lips against yours, gentle and warm against your own. eyes closed, foreheads and the tips of your noses touching.
your eyelids flutter open to a william, flushed and eyes shimmering, looking at you with the most happiest of grins—as if you plucked the stars from the night sky for him. “i love you too. most ardently.”

Notes: We’re pretending courthouse weddings were a thing back in this time period
PART ONE LINKED HERE
__________________________________________________________________________
Your marriage to William James Moriarty was a secret well-kept until a snowy winter day in December. 
It had been a simple courthouse wedding. His family had been there. Albert and Louis as witnesses. But the rest of his little ‘entourage’ had shown up in celebration as well. James Bonde and Sebastian Moran had shown up with bottles of wine to celebrate what they said was “a day that they thought would never come.”
Fred Porlock had been sweet and gifted you a bouquet of daffodils. He had told you later that they represent new beginnings, and he wanted to welcome you to their little family.
It took all your strength not to burst into tears right at that moment.
You hadn’t even worn a wedding dress, for heaven's sake! Instead, you wore a simple white blouse with beige trousers because you didn’t want to purchase much less tailor white ones. William had worn his regular brown suit and red tie.
Oh, how your mother would’ve had your head had she found out. How improper you were!
You didn’t even take a proper honeymoon persay. William had instead surprised you with a trip back to Egypt to visit the locals of your latest dig. You hadn’t been on an excavation in ages, and they were more than happy to welcome you and your new husband with open arms.
Husband…
You were officially married. No longer a Holmes and no longer tied to your family.
You were free.
Well… as free as a woman could be, that is.
All that was left was to tell your parents and brothers.
The aforementioned secret marriage was kept a secret for approximately thirteen months before it got out. In fact, you managed to keep it a secret up until William asked if he could break the news to your family over Christmas dinner. 
He asked you over breakfast around a week before Christmas Day. You had moved into his estate soon after the marriage was finalized. 
“Might I ask you a question?” He asked politely, and you looked up from your ham and eggs, raising an eyebrow as you did so. 
“Sure.” You said as you swallowed your mouthful and cleared your throat. 
“How do you feel about telling your parents about our marriage?” At this, you choke on your inhale and proceed to cough until you almost feel lightheaded. 
William—used to your dramatic reactions by now—sits patiently as you try to gain some semblance of control over your body. 
“What brought this up?” You demand, and he shrugs, taking a sip of his tea. 
“It’s been over a year now. Don’t you think it’s time to tell them?” You look down at your hands, fisted in your shirt, and grit your teeth, mulling it over. 
He was right… it had been over a year since you went no contact with your family save for Sherlock. Of course, he relayed messages from them to you. But you never responded besides telling them to sod off. 
At least Sherlock understood where you were coming from and didn’t push the issue too much. Perhaps then he would know why you had kept your marriage a secret until now? 
So… with that in mind… you agree, and William sends out invites to Sherlock, Mycroft, and your parents that day. You also send out an invitation to John and Mary and their new baby girl as moral support. 
Sherlock responds almost immediately by phoning William and enthusiastically saying he’d be delighted to come to the Moriarty estate for dinner. Mycroft responds via phone the next day, confirming his and your parents' attendance at this growing Christmas party. 
The day of the surprise comes all too quickly. 
You dress that day in a white blouse, a bold, crimson suit coat, and matching trousers. Just as you’re buttoning your blouse, you hear a knock on your bedroom door. 
“Come in!” You call as you finish the last button and turn to see William closing the door behind him. 
“Are you ready?” He asks, and you shake your head almost immediately. 
“I never am when it comes to my parents.” You say honestly, and he offers a smile that you like to think is reserved just for you. It crinkles the corners of his eyes and curls his lips rather attractively. You smile back and then head to the bathroom connected to your bed chambers for your jewelry box. 
It was William’s wedding present to you. A beautiful cherry wood box that contained jewelry you had collected over the years. Most of it was gifts from the locals you had gone on expeditions to. 
But…
There was one piece of jewelry that was not a gift to them. 
And that was your wedding band. 
It was a plain gold band, nothing too extravagant. Just the way you wanted it. And while it was simple and nondescript, you only wore it if you were going to events with William as his wife. He wore a matching one for the same reasons. And he slid his onto his ring finger just as you did the same for yours. Then, your husband extends a hand.
“Shall we go downstairs to greet your family? Sherlock is already in the parlor, and we are expecting everyone else soon enough.”
Your parents arrive just as it’s beginning to snow outside. 
Mycroft is watching disapprovingly as you coo over baby Clara, John, and Mary’s baby girl. She’s almost a year old and already starting to crawl and toddle about. You could practically smell his disapproval of your outfit, but you paid him no mind. Once this announcement is done with, you never have to speak to him again.
Your parents burst into the parlor, spooking you and Clara. The baby girl starts to whimper, so you hand her back to Mary and go to greet your parents. 
“Oh, dearest, couldn’t you wear the Christmas dress we purchased for you this year?” Your mother says immediately as you approach, and your face sours. 
“Well, hello to you too, Mother.” You grumble but give her a hug nonetheless. Your father extends his hand, and you shake it. Luckily, it was your right hand, so you simply kept your left with the ring in your trouser pocket. 
“If I might interrupt,” Comes William’s smooth voice, and you jump. You hadn't heard him come up behind you. “Dinner is served.” He finishes and ushers everyone to the dining room. He offers a comforting smile, and you reach out boldly to squeeze his hand. 
He doesn’t pull away. At least not until you reach the dining room and have to separate to sit with your respective families. 
Dinner was brought out, and just before everyone dug in, William stood and tapped his spoon against his wine glass. 
“Before everyone tucks in, we have an announcement to make.” He says, making eye contact with you, and you realize very quickly what he is doing. 
It’s time. 
Your heart starts thundering like horses in your veins, and you hear blood roaring in your ears. But you get up and make your way around the table to his side and take his hand just as he says,
“I suppose I should say my wife and I have an announcement to make.” 
It’s silent for a beat. Then two. 
Then noise. 
Your mother promptly bursts into tears. Whether out of happiness or disappointment, you have no idea. Your father grew red in the face and nearly started shouting before he remembered his manners. Mycroft simply sits back in his seat, stunned into silence. Sherlock’s face broke into a brilliant grin.
“I knew it!” He crowed and slammed his hand down on the table happily. 
You stand awkwardly as you wait for the noise to die down. William doesn’t let go of your hand the entire time. But… eventually… your parents get their emotions under control.
“Absolutely not! I will not have you associating with someone as stained a reputation as the Moriartys!” Your father bellows, and you hold back a flinch. It wasn’t often he got this angry.  And, of course, you knew what “stained reputation” your father was talking about. The burning of the Moriarty estate back when they were mere children had been quite the scandal. You remembered hearing about it when you were but a tiny tot. 
“You asked that I marry. I did. So now you have no right to judge whom I court, much less marry. I expect my dowry is still in your hands? And that you’ll keep your promise?” You say quickly, curtly, emotionlessly. You didn’t have the patience for his antics right now. He wanted you to marry in order to fund your excavations but didn’t want you to marry certain people? Where was the logic in that? And your family was all about logic.
“Please, dearest, think about what you’ve done! To marry into the Moriarty family is to stain our family name!” Your mother pleads, but you just roll your eyes. 
“I don’t see you chastising Sherlock about his choice of friends.” You snap back and very nearly leave right then and there. 
William is the only thing keeping you here. You can feel the tears burning as they threaten to fall. You just wanted your family to be happy for you. Was that too much to ask?
“That’s different!” Your father all but shouts, and you watch your husband raise an eyebrow. 
“Pray tell me how it is any different?” He says, and you shiver at his frosty tone of voice. 
“She’s a woman! That’s reason enough!” Your mother blubbers, dabbing at her falling tears with a handkerchief. Now, it’s William’s turn to roll his eyes. He takes a moment, entwining your fingers together as he looks at the ceiling. 
“Your daughter is perfectly capable of marrying whom she wishes. This is precisely why we didn’t say anything when we married nearly thirteen months ago.” 
That sentence sends your father into another shouting fit. 
“Thirteen months?!” He roars, and William smirks, letting go of your hand in order to lean both palms on the table. 
“Yes, quite right. And you will listen closely to my next words.” He said smoothly, and your parents both went silent. Mycroft still has yet to say anything, and Sherlock is simply sitting back in his chair with a shit-eating grin on his face. 
William leans back once again to take your hand. 
“You will fulfill your promise to your daughter. And hand over her dowry. Though we have little need for the money. But imagine the scandal that would erupt if you didn’t?” Your mother swallows audibly, and your father glares at your husband. He looks back cooly, not backing down. 
In the end, William wins the little starring contest, and your father averts his eyes. 
“Fine.” He growls, and William smiles,
“I’m glad we could come to an understanding. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I am going to go comfort my wife.” He says and gently turns you around to head for the dining room doors. 
“Wait, Liam.” Sherlock’s voice breaks through your raging emotions, and you stop, turning to face the middle child of the Holmes family. Your husband turns and looks at him,
“Yes?” Sherlock stands, that same smile on his face as he studies the two of you. “Was your marriage the only announcement you had to make?” He asks innocently, and you glare at him. 
Of course, he knew already.
William hums briefly before his lips curled in a devious grin,
“Oh yes, I almost forgot.” He says and puts a hand on the small of your back.
“We are expecting.” He says and leaves your brothers to deal with your dramatic parents once again.

Delightful | William James Moriarty x Reader
Chapter 10
Tumblr media
Question after question after question.
Yet you wouldn’t receive any answers.
Perhaps it was due to the fact that you could only have the courage to think about them and not even consider whispering them let alone saying them aloud for others to hear.
You definitely won’t find answers here that’s for certain. So far you hadn’t been successful but then again up till now u weren’t actively searching for the truth due to shock. You’re still in shock of course but it is evident that it’s beginning to numbing. There’s no one to confide in. Even if there was you weren’t sure of who or even where to find them.
Either way you knew it wasn’t a pub or a market.
There’s nothing here in the manor that will solve it. That was proven rather quicker when you first met William rather upbrutly. You’re just glad the situation hasn’t been brought up since. Come to think of it you were also glad you hadn’t seen Albert of late since you did in fact finish his bottle of wine that night. You didn’t even consider how expensive it was.
But you were desperate and where can desperate people find answers when they no longer have access to a phone ?
Books. “I know !” You practically jump up from the small bed.
“I’ll pay William a visit !”
From what you understood, William is a mathematician. Of course maths couldn’t help you get anywhere but a university must have books in other fields of subjects. Maybe just maybe you’d find something small to help guide you on your way. But as you managed to find yourself there you couldn’t help but look all around you to stare on in awe.
It was so different compared to your own personal experience in education.
Well obviously, it wasn’t like you ever attended the university of Durham but still.
People were walking around rather cheerfully in groups chatting loud as the rarely bright sun shined down on all. An atmosphere you’ve never really experienced before. The architecture also slightly threw you off. From what you remembered from your time buildings like this were extremely old and new buildings were plain and simple, practically dull compared to the old ones.
But how were you suppose to find the library if you couldn’t run into every single room of the building ? It would only take a matter of time before you’d be recognised as a trespasser. “Come on lads !” You hear from near you in the courtyard.
You were quick to run around a corner, making sure to not be noticed.
Hiding behind a wall, you peek around to only spot a young student walking towards two other students, looking rather eager.
“We have professor Moriarty’s class soon !”
Your eyes widen at their words. You were quick to follow them from a distance. You watched on as the students walked into you assumed a classroom.
But just as they walked in they were quick to leave again. You assume maybe they had time until class started so they simply left they’re belonging in the room so they could go continue freely about for however long. You took slow steps into the empty classroom, simply blown away at the sight. You weren’t sure what you were expecting but definitely not this.
The room was too enormous to process, you struggled to believe this was a genuine classroom.
Even when you timidly walked upon the high steps onto the balcony, you couldn’t believe the quality of the room.
Your fingers run against the wooden bannister. Of course as you sat down there was now only one thing to do.
Sleep.
As some time passed your eyes begin to flutter and your senses heighten at the sound of chatter. You nearly gasped when you realised. The class was currently taking place. When you looked down you could only stare on at the sight of William teaching seemingly a dozen students.
Maybe it was near the end of the class ? You hoped it was. You did contemplate just simply walking out but you were quick to realise the room was filled with just young men and you would stick out like a sore thumb if you left now.
But you couldn’t help but wonder how did no one notice you at all ? You were sat at the very back off on the side where you’d actually stand out more so were no students bored of this class ?
You were and you’re not even a student.
There was no way that William was teaching that good that no student of his was bored ? Was he ?
Even when you squint your eyes to no avail, you still couldn’t make out what was on the board. He looked so…confident. In himself. He didn’t speak quietly and his voice wasn’t demanding yet it was clear and from what you could tell just by peering at the students even though some seemed tired they all listened and watched William like a hawk.
For a moment you could only lay your head in your arms in defeat as you realised that you were stuck here.
You didn’t really think about him having that effect on others. William had his back turned to the students as he wrote an equation on the board.
“And perhaps even then-
William for once mistakenly looked up to his right just at the exact moment you raised your head from your strained arms. It was as if time has frozen as you both locked eyes with one another. His eyes squinting up at you while your eyes widened like a deer caught in headlights.
Just like that William finished the class and as students began to pack up to leave you were rather quick to look away and avoid those unreal eyes staring you down.
William acknowledged all students before they left the room and you hoped that he would soon follow. He did not.
“So you really are a professor ?” You ask, gripping onto your long skirt hoping William didn’t notice the slight trip in your step as you carefully made your way down. He did. “Did you assume I was being dishonest about my occupation ?”
He asked, placing his hands behind his back as if he were still teaching like the professional that he is.
“I though you were just covering up for another job, I don’t know.” You simply shrug, briefly turning back to look around the huge room.
Of course, you missed the slight smirk evident on Williams face that was wiped away as soon as you faced him again. “I thought Louis had you doing chores this morning ?” Williams ask, gathering the dozen sheets of paper left on his desk. “He did ! He even wrote me a list but I left before I even started.” You smirk proudly. You weren’t even going to deny it.
Instead of walking by William’s side you opted for just simply following behind him like a lost puppy. Although you managed to get to the university with no problems, as the evening grew late and the sky began to darken you weren’t completely sure how to find your way back.
Minutes go by walking in silence with no conversation taking place between the two of you. You partly did want to indulge yourself in small talk but yet the words simply didn’t come out of your mouth. But even peeking a glance at William’s face he didn’t seem that keen on the idea either. Maybe he had a rough day ? Were his lessons really that short or was it cut short because of you ?
Yeah, silence was the better option.
But silence didn’t last long as you heard William greeting someone, you looked up to the sight of William speaking happily to Louis. You wonder if maybe they always met up on the way home.
You look around from behind William giving Louis a little wave all the while he simply returns a raised brow along with a scoff. There was a part of you that thought if the others had noticed you had left, in particular you were curious about Louis. But by a simple glance at the annoyance that shined through his glasses you guessed he somehow anticipated you once again leaving.
Although maybe he wasn’t anticipating your return ? It was evident now.
Maybe you shouldn’t sneak out anymore.

author’s note: hello, anonnie! i am really fine, thanks! i am just very happy to reopen the requests from you. currently, i’m drinking tea with lemon! hope you are feel good as well. thank you for your message and have a nice day/night!
Tumblr media
For almost twenty minutes you’ve been jumping from foot to foot, wondering how you should start a conversation with your partner on a shameful (for you) topic. You were really stressed out and afraid that your boyfriend would laugh at you for your problem; of course, this was absolutely not true and it didn’t even have the right to exist, because your lover was one of the most understanding and sincere people you knew, and he was always willing to help and give the other person good advice. Nevertheless, your fingers tightened more and more on the two enormous dark-green books, one gray notebook and a black pen; you held it all tightly to your breast.
At the same time, William was sitting in a comfortable red armchair in the huge living, bright room; his hands are holding the fresh morning newspaper. Every now and then his dominant hand reached for a porcelain cup of hot tea and also pleasant music played from an old gramophone in the background. It was a perfect Saturday morning for a young man.
At one point, however, hearing a slight noise to his own right side, William smiled under his breath and set the white cup back down on the small saucer.
“Y/N, come here. Why don’t you have a lemon tea with me?” He asked in a harmonious tone and you jumped up (you really hoped he wouldn’t hear you, but well...). You have fulfilled his request, your cheeks turned even redder, and so did your nose and ear tips. “Did something happen...?” He asked a bit worried, but after a second he noticed the titles in your both arms. “What’s wrong, my love?”
“I... Well ... I have a problem with math recently and... I just wanted to ask, could you please explain one thing to me?” You asked a bit awkwardly, and the blonde one immediately grabbed your smooth hand, asking you to sit on the chair on his left side. “Before that, I had no problem with math, I got the lowest grade, but I didn’t have to write something a second time. Now I feel like I may not pass the test I have next Friday.”
Your partner looked at a few pages in one of the books fairly quickly, then looked at you with a slight, gentle glance.
“Of course I will help you. It’s kinda weird that you didn’t come to me sooner. Then you would have passed the previous tests with a much better grade, dear.” He stroked your cheek. “Nothing is lost yet. What do you want to learn today?”
“... Integrals.” You sighed deeply. “As I understand the previous subjects, here my head is empty, totally blank. I don’t understand what is happening in class and in addition, the lecturer quickly explains everything and I don’t have time to focus on listening and writing notes at the same time.” Your expression was a bit sad, but luckily the blonde gave you some hope in your heart.
“Then I will explain the definition of the integral from the beginning, give you some examples based on the formulas given in the book, and finally we will solve some math problems. Subsequently, we’re gonna take a lunch break and study for a while again, okay?”
You nodded immediately, thanking him sincerely for his willingness to help.
Over the next few minutes, William was very careful and unhurried in explaining the definitions and functions of the integrals one by one. He told you when to use a specific formula, and showed you some easier and more difficult examples, as well as simple ways to deal with them. Meanwhile, he was answering your every question, and you listened carefully to his answers. After that, you moved on to solving the problems from your huge book and the tasks that your incredibly intelligent boyfriend had come up with.
“... Finally, I also add ‘+C’ because it is a real number. Any real number! Integrals are the inverse of the derivatives of functions.” You said in a confident voice and your boyfriend nodded.
“Exactly. It should be remembered that an integer can be any number, therefore, to simplify the notation, we use the letter ‘C’ for this purpose. Additionally, have in mind the formulas from the textbook as the whole theory of integration is based on them. And remember that the integral of the sine changes the sign to the opposite one and the sine itself changes to the cosine.”
This time you looked at your boyfriend, nodding. The man smirked, then took the black pen from your hands.
“Okay, my lady. Let’s take a short break and be back here in two hours to repeat the material.”
You were about to get up from your chair to prepare the meal for the two of you, in the same time thanking him again for his help with the math material, but the young male grabbed your precious hand between his long fingers and pulled your body closer to him. Thanks to this, he could easily give you a light kiss in the middle of your mouth and then a tender kiss on the forehead.
You felt a tremendous surge of energy and confidence as you laughed under your breath. Your boyfriend was really the best and he looked really good explaining all the tasks for you. You will definitely ask him for help one more time.

how do you feel about mtp cast (of your choice) would react to a child (reader) whom is very very smart. like, prodigy kind, is in uni at 14 kind of kid. but despite having brains, they absolutely cannot comprehend social interaction.
i hope this isn't complicated 🙏 thank you

WILLIAM
Honestly, he's impressed by you.
I mean I guess it's not everyday when you happen to stumble upon an intelligent human being, especially a kid.
you would join him with the others to destroy nobility, however you weren't to sure of joining just yet.
of course, like the genius he is, he would've had known about your problems.
just when he thought he knew all about you, you backfire him with the 'I see through you' card.
he, of course, was suprised by how much you knew at your age, especially for stuff that isn't even taught for the young people like you.
guess there wouldn't be a need for sugarcoating words I guess.
ALBERT
Of course, like his brother, he would be impressed.
he would treat you like a sister figure though, regardless of what you were.
he would notice your silence every time he introduces you to other nobles, but he pretends he doesn't notice.
at some point, he would ask you about it. While being careful not to push your buttons.
he does understand about it.
but he wouldn't want the tension to be.. intense, so he'll change the topic immediately after asking.
since of your intelligence, you have been fawned by lots of people
he will would distract them so you wouldn't feel too pressured.
SHERLOCK
Interesting.
he would believe that someone taught you such things, but wouldn't say anything about it.
he would probably try to test your brain skills, asking you to solve a few riddles/puzzles.
each correct answer you give him only leads him to be a tad bit annoyed.
he will tag you along in ugly situations along with John
he would know about your problems with socializing from the day you two met.
he's not much of a help, honestly
but it doesn't mean he'll tease you for that.
JAMES
uh-huh.
kind off intimidated by you when you two met.
I mean, I would say he's good with kids like the time he saved one when he was Irene Adler.
but you were kind of different? in some way.
not in a bad way.
impressed by your smartness.
he wouldn't noticed your problems at comprehending socialization immediately.
but if he did, he wouldn't judge.
he would, of course, respect you and your boundaries.
he thinks your opinions are well-thought.
