I love it when people say “they” were flirting. No: Irene was flirting.

Sherlock doesn’t leave the flat for anything less than a seven, and he doesn’t get off John for anything less than a nine
Make that 200. Aka, he doesn’t get off John for cases. :)

Wow! My story Scars just went over 10,000 hits today, becoming the 26th of my 50 stories to reach that milestone! I also think this may be a record, for a story of mine to exceed 10K hits in five weeks of having been posted. And the fact that it’s this particular story is very special to me, too - I thought that no one would read it because of the abuse/dub & non-con content, and yet apparently people did. I’m enormously grateful!!!!! Thank you!

“Stop smiling.”
Playing around with gifs because procrastination. But really do stop smiling, Mary.
Ugh, Mary is just so damned happy about how unhappy Sherlock is

i honestly can’t believe any of these things are still up for debate after 8 months but:
mary didn’t just omit parts of her past that she thought weren’t relevant to john; she lied about her entire history, presented him with a false name and persona, and actively held back major information that would influence his decision to commit to her and which could (and did) impact his safety
mary didn’tjust kill as part of her government job; she herself admits there is enough in her past to put her away for life, and magnussen tells us she went “freelance” and repeatedly mentions how bad she is
mary didn’t act to protect john; she acted to protect herself from the consequences that would follow if her deception and true identity were made known, and she was willing to shoot an unarmed man who was offering to help her (not to mention, a man who was a friend of hers, and the best friend of her husband) in order to accomplish that aim
mary didn’tsave sherlock’s life; she said “i will kill you” and then fired and he flatlined, and then she bullied him in his hospital bed, and then she hunted him down at the empty house and threatened him
there’s enough reason to doubt sherlock’s statemet that mary called the ambulance; sherlock didn’t see her do it because he was already unconscious when it happened, and we are given shots in the episode of magnussen reaching for his phone while mary is busy facing off with sherlockmary is a horribly bad person
she is not a protagonist in the story and to try to make her seem like one you have to completely ignore things that actually happened in HLV
Not only that: you have to ignore every single canon fact about Mary. You have to invent a character that wasn’t written. She wasn’t scared. It wasn’t an accident. Her entire life story is not an accident or a single error. She has not repented. She has not apologised. She has not changed. To suggest that she has done any of the above imposes a narrative on her that has no basis in canon, no support in the script, and makes no logical sense. You aren’t defending a female character; you’re overwriting her to make her into something you prefer. That’s not feminism, for the record. Mary is an unremittingly awful person. There is no debate here.

I’m a hot air balloon pilot! Not as a job, just for fun, and its been ages and I miss it so much. But it will always be part of my self-identity. And I love how content you sound in this <3
You nice thing! :) The truth is that I’m very content with my life these days! I’ve lived through some bad shit and things are just really good all around right now and I appreciate it regularly. :) And holy crap, you’re a hot air balloon pilot??? You just became the coolest person I know! How does that even happen??? How do you become a hot air balloon pilot? I always say that hopeful suitors should probably propose to me in a hot air balloon. I’ve never been in one and always wanted to go!

I’m the one who has to read your stuff very slowly just to make it last as long as possible but I did get the urge to just go scream excitedly in the comments before even reading it.
As always, thank you for writing and sharing your talent.
You sweet thing! Are you raspberry swirl on ao3? This is so nice! Thank YOU for reading! <3333

I was tagged by violyntfemme. :) Thanks!
Rule 1: Always post the rules. Rule 2: Answer the questions that the person who tagged you wrote then write 11 new ones (unless you don’t want to.) Rule 3: Tag 11 people. Rule 4: Tell them you tagged them. Rule 5: Tag “#tag"
1. What is your name? (tumblr name is perf, no need to tell our real ones.)
Well, I think you know that already. :P
2. What is your favorite color?
Favourite colour, you mean? :) Black. Don’t tell me it’s not a colour. It is.
3. What is the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow?
An African swallow or a European swallow - ahhhhh!
4. What fandom do you wish you could go back and do all over again?
I wish I’d discovered the Song of Ice & Fire books and fandom way earlier, but then I also would have had that agonising wait between A Feast for Crows and A Dance with Dragons, so… :P No, the only other fandom I’ve done at all is Harry Potter, which I don’t miss in the slightest. JKR’s post-canon additions and that godawful epilogue really killed it for me, sadly.
5. What was your first fandom?
See above.
6. Who is your fave OTP, NOTP, and BroTP?
To me, “favourite OTP” can’t be a thing - there are ships that you ship, but your ONE true pairing? There can only be one, at least per fandom/universe. Mine is clearly Johnlock.
NOTP: Whereas you can say no to lots of things, and I do. I’m particularly allergic to John/Mary, Sherlock/Molly, Sherlock/Irene, in fact Sherlock/anyone other than John.
BroTP: Hmm. Like my favourite platonic friendship? I don’t know if I believe in “bros”. My favourite friendship in this universe is also my favourite romantic relationship, so… yeah, no. I’m just not that interested in anyone besides these two. No, ok: I like Sherlock and Lestrade working together, in a very much absolutely platonic sort of way. That’s as close as it gets, though. :P
7. If you could have any job, what would it be?
Hot air balloon pilot. OR! (Arthur Shappey voice) PEGAGUS!
8. What is the thing you are proudest of?
It sounds pretty bad to say that I’m pretty proud of a lot of things in my life so far, but I am… I’ve placed in the finals in international opera competitions, I’ve written (combined between fandoms + original stuff) nearly 3 million words of mostly fiction, I rebuilt myself and my entire life after someone horrible neary destroyed me. I’ve moved to brand new cities alone and built myself community. When I changed careers three years ago, I changed cities again, started completely from scratch and now have a fairly enviable life. There’s not much money in it, but I’m doing things that I LOVE doing and have time to write again (didn’t while I was singing!), love the city I’m in, have friends, opportunities, etc. I wouldn’t say that I’m arrogant, but yeah - I’ve accomplished a lot and I’m proud of it. I’ve pushed myself to my limits and achieved some fairly special things. :)
9. Last movie you saw and LOVED?
Hahahahahahaha, Jurassic World! For real, though!
10. Last book you read and LOVED?
Read for the first time? That’s hard, I’m a big re-reader! In that case… possibly Hard-Boiled Wonderland and the End of the World by Haruki Murakami.
11. In all seriousness though… Hartwin or Johnlock?
I’m not into the Kingsman fandom at all, so clearly Johnlock.
Okay, I’m tagging these people for the these questions:
People: metal-dog5, johnlocktext, watsonsanatomy, bicrim, shana-movershaker, happierstill, thewhippedcreamhand, loozislooz, subtextme, jezebelgoldstone, and notidiotproofed.
Questions:
Snow or rain?Pedicure or haircut?
The smell of bread baking or the smell of coffee brewing?
Swans or flamingos?
Shopping alone or shopping with friends, etc?
Washing the dishes or washing the clothes? (If you do neither of these, use your imagination…)
Porn with two men or porn with two women? (Hehe! Optional question!)
Sunrise or sunset?
Jon Stewart or Jimmy Fallon?
Benedict as Khan or Benedict as Alan?
Hot air balloon or para-sailing?
Ha. You have to choose one or the other!!
So after my little queeble about worrying about lack of comments on Collateral Damage, I just have...
So after my little queeble about worrying about lack of comments on Collateral Damage, I just have to say: writers in this fandom are damned lucky, because we are blessed with some seriously high quality readers. I love you people.
First 24 hours for Collateral Damage: 2,200+ hits, 98 comments (half of which are my responses, of course), 234 kudos, 62 bookmarks. Really, really nice comments, too. I adore you all. And I’m not even drunk. :)))))
