Now I know how the Who fans feel.

GODDAMMIT MOFFAT!!!!!!

( one-line major spoiler, just in case someone hasn't figured it out )

aka THE JOHN WATSON ADVENTURE

with a brief detour for HELLO THERE SUPER HOT ASIAN CORPORAL, and perhaps because Mark Gatiss was writing it he was way more obviously hot than obviously Asian. Still though. WOOF.

*is killed for pun*

But OMG this episode. I guess the fandom can pretty much run to Godtiss for the wonderful delightful lakjfn;wejfn;jnf;dksbjf fan-pandering, eh? Phew. Also, just like in Being Human, I pretty much want to hug Russell Tovey non-stop. I CUDDLE J00 BB, it'll be ok.

Last few seconds of episode: FUCKING CHRIST NO *CLAWS FACE*

psst come see what I'm working on

( apparently I am not the only one into sick white Oprahs )

Had a great time over at lyrakristine's house; she's in town with her whole family, whom I'm quite close to. So nice to spend time with all of them again. It really only needed angelthorn to make things perfect; in fact if A had been there I think we might actually have got round to Ly teaching me how to sew. Next time, I swear.

Got back home and am having a lazy day reading instead of painting or anything productive. Picked up Volume 1 of the Complete Novels and Stories of Sherlock Holmes at Fully Booked some days ago and just finished The Sign of Four.

( thoughts on ACD, gender and race, historical notes, and tragic conclusions )

The really sad bit is the last line of the story. Watson says, 'You have done all the work in the business. I get a wife out of it, Jones gets the credit, pray what remains for you?'

I was expecting Holmes to say something pithy about the work being its own reward, but I got this:

'For me,' said Sherlock Holmes, 'there still remains the cocaine-bottle.' And he stretched his long white hand up for it.

No wonder all the ACD canon fic is choked with angst. Damn.

Title: Catch as Catch Can
Chapter: 1/7
Summary: Sherlock is bored. John devises a game of hide and seek, with a twist.
Warnings: slash (John/Sherlock), abuse of italics and parentheses, and a large amount of geekitude.
Rating: R
Notes: Written to fill this prompt on the sherlockbbc kinkmeme. Beta'd by the wonderful elethe and polkadotsquared.

This fic comes in two flavours: text-only, and extra spicy, with illustrations, maps by polkadotsquared (beta, Britpicker and cartographer!), and links at relevant bits. This is the text-only version; click here for the illustrated chapter.

( Feel, Sherlock. It won't kill you. )

Because she is epic.

Really, this comic was the only thing that kept this whole week from being in the toilet. Kept me creating this week, too.

So I made a tribute.

( with extra Lestrade )

Title: Sleep Till Morning
Characters/Pairing: Sherlock/John
Rating: PG

Someone on the kinkmeme mentioned that Sherlock slept with a T-shirt on, and I couldn't find the prompt again but that didn't stop me from drawing Sherlock and John cuddlenapping.

( smoosh )

--why, WHY are you so hard to draw???




Is it:
A) your nose
B) your mouth
C) your eyes
D) your curls
or E) all of the above, plus you are simply unfathomable and also I get so distracted looking at you that I can't draw you?

Hmmmmmmm. Ah the questions, they answer themselves.

Looks like I need a lot of practice before I can get that look right. Thank goodness for Tumblr.

Title: Catch as Catch Can, part 7/7 (Part 1) (Part 2) (Part 3) (Part 4) (Part 5) (Part 6)
Summary: Sherlock is bored. John devises a game of hide and seek, with a twist: all the clues are pop culture references, comics and film and TV &c. Sherlock needs to make space on his hard drive in a hurry.
Warnings: slash (John/Sherlock), NC-17 (it belatedly occurs that I should have put this in the beginning of every chapter as an indication of the whole fic), and long, long, LONG sex scenes. Seriously guys, this chapter is like FIVE THOUSAND++ WORDS.
Notes: Uh, I will post real notes on this whole fic soon, with links &c, but my brain is blown for now. I'm also intending to do illustrations; sketches in next post.

( Only the anorak with the semtex vest had ever been ripped off so quickly... )

The world is coming apart, and I'm drowning my sorrows in fic.

Title: Catch as Catch Can, part 6 (Part 1) (Part 2) (Part 3) (Part 4) (Part 5)
Summary: Sherlock is bored. John devises a game of hide and seek, with a twist: all the clues are pop culture references, comics and film and TV &c. Sherlock needs to make space on his hard drive in a hurry.
Warnings: slash (John/Sherlock), NC-17 (it belatedly occurs that I should have put this in the beginning of every chapter as an indication of the whole fic), mild bondage.
Notes: Oh my God, this isn't the last chapter. The next chapter is the last chapter, and it's even longer.

( We're not done. )
