On another totally superficial note, I’m thinking of editing up a vid of all of Martin’s scenes from StartUp put together into one ginormous vid of visual freeporn (I can totally appreciate that not everyone’s into/cares about the plot of the show itself or the other characters

With all the 1984...
With all the 1984 / nurse posts today: there is a nurse passing through Sherlock’s room in the hospital scene in TAB.
Even if you accept the other plane scenes in TAB to be real, this scene can’t be because Sherlock suddenly isn’t on the plane anymore (where we see him afterwards as well). And it transitions into the totally impossible graveyard scene where Sherlock not only digs up a body but is also attacked by a zombie skeleton.
In the scene the nurse just walks by while John is doing the examination.
If this is just a drug induced dream of Sherlock, why would he add a nurse? He doesn’t need her for the Ricoletti case. She’s not there for medical purposes either. To add some colour to the scene, like the police officers at the graveyard?
Or is this scene something else? Is this somehow reality bleeding into his Victorian dream?
Remember where we left them…
@ebaeschnbliah @gosherlocked @monikakrasnorada @tjlcisthenewsexy @longsnowsmoon5
Good question @isitandwonder . What is real and what is not? Maybe the picture with a blury Mycroft and a nurse in the background is the only scene which is real. Or maybe TAB is real and Sherlock imagines a time in the future. Another thought: if Sherlock is figuring out something - a puzzle, a mystery - in his head - would it be unreal just because it is in his head? For example … the hiker and boomerang deduction. Sherlock played out the whole thing in his head. Is it unreal because we see it happening in his head? It happend for real too. There’s a dead body to prove it and a real boomerang floating down the stream.
If Sherlock deduces in his head that he is in love with John, if he finds a way to overcome his doubts and his fear of emotions - in his head. If he finds the courage to fight and defeat the demons of his past in his head ….. would that make the whole thing unreal … just because it’s in his head? Would it be of less value … just because it’s in his head? Before he comes out and confronts John and everyone else …. Before he solves the case.
We have seen Sherlock doing this from the very start of this story: collecting evidence, playing with puzzle pieces in his head until they fall into the right place, coming forth with the solution seemingly out of nowhere. The people around him seeing only ever the start and the end of his ‘work’. Never the string of thoughts that lies inbetween ….
Wow, thanks for that comment @ebaeschnbliah! And you know what, call me daft but I just now fully realised that Irene never ‘for real’ figured out what happened to the hiker. All her being that clever is just in Sherlock’s head while he lies drugged on her bedroom floor (or maybe already in his bed in 221b). But reality and dream blur into one another so that in retrospect it’s hard to distinguish…
Is the conversation Sherlock has with Irene in the sitting room, prior to the smoke alarm going off, even happening, or is it only in his head as well?
This is a fascinating convo, @isitandwonder and @ebaeschnbliah. I think merely bringing up the idea-
Another thought: if Sherlock is figuring out something - a puzzle, a mystery - in his head - would it be unreal just because it is in his head?
-goes a long way in proving that EMP theory isn’t so far-fetched, right? Just because it’s happening inside Sherlock’s mind doesn’t negate the reality of what he is figuring out, imo.
The hiker deduction all played out in Sherlock’s head. And we never questioned the ‘reality’ of what he figured out there. And, I think another key to the ‘difference’ in how submersed and real his mind palace can appear is- all together now- DRUGS.

ok Benedict wearing a gun holster is ridiculously hot, yes, but imagine Martin wearing a gun holster while in a tightly fitted button down too
Now imagine them both in the same room wearing that and doing the whole good cop/bad cop routine.

MAKE NO MISTAKE, THIS IS WAR
Remember remember, or….. do not forget me?What does it take to affect a change? To challenge the ingrained heteronormative version of the Holmes and Watson relationship? It takes an equal and opposing force. Revolution, war.
But this is a fairytale where love defeats evil.
Which is why fire = love in Sherlock, as it means that love itself IS that equal and opposing force against the establishment.
This is so poignant and absolutely perfect that you posted it on November 5, @tjlcisthenewsexy. I could honestly cry because it’s just been such a longtime coming. It’s needed and essential. It’s hope in this terrifying, uncertain age.
Love conquers all.
I’ve been meaning to write this for forever so when I noticed it was Nov 5th I just went for it. Love conquers all.

35 TOP-RATED
JOHNLOCK FICS
When I
started posting Sherlock fanfics with over 5,000 kudos on AO3, I came up with
19 fics. Since then, we’ve moved up to 35!
I get soooo excited to see new additions. (However, I am STILL not gonna read
“Alone on the Water” and you can’t make me ;) Nov. 2016.
++++++
The Progress of Sherlock Holmes byivyblossom, 62 K words, explicit. “I had,”
he said, “come to an entirely erroneous conclusion, my dear Watson, how
dangerous it always is to reason from insufficient data.”
Saving Sherlock Holmes by earlgreytea68, 139 k words, mature.
Sherlock Holmes, schoolboy. Yeah, that basically sums it up.
The Great Sex Olympics of 221 by
XistentialAngst, 58 k words, explicit. John Watson thinks Sherlock Holmes
should admit that he, Watson, is more of an expert on sex than Sherlock is. But
Sherlock refuses to concede the point. He comes up with an experiment plan that
will resolve the issue. The results will determine who wins the prize. But
sometimes even the best thought-out scientific study has unexpected
consequences.
The Quiet Man by
ivyblossom, 157 k words, explicit . “Do you just carry on talking when I’m
away?“ John has endured Sherlock’s supposed death, and finally settled down
with a girlfriend, Mary Morstan, when Sherlock swans back into his life.
Shadows on the Wall by AraSigym,
18 k words, teen. John came back from Afghanistan psychic. This is a
fascinating look at series one John and Sherlock from John’s POV – really
rather meta. John’s ESP supplies endless possibilities of what might happen at
each key point in his life, and it’s his choice to make – which way to send the
future spiraling. Fascinating stuff!!
Off on the Wrong Foot by Unloyal_Olio, 31 k words, explicit. John and Sherlock
aren’t flatmates. Instead, John gets a job in Bart’s morgue, and Sherlock
attempts to abscond with body parts … which is just not on.
Performance In a Leading Role by Mad_Lori, 156 k words, explicit . Sherlock
Holmes is an Oscar winner in the midst of a career slump. John Watson is an
Everyman actor trapped in the rom-com ghetto. When they are cast as a gay
couple in a new independent drama, will they surprise each other? Will their
on-screen romance make its way into the real world?
26 Pieces by Lanning,
28 k words, explicit . Mycroft gives Sherlock the apparently simple task of
solving a puzzle box containing a stolen microchip. It isn’t simple. This fic
has some torture scenes, but some adorable stuck in a car boot together, and
some of the sweetest Sherlock thinking “I didn’t know sex could be this nice”
Johnlock moments EVER! Three-continents Watson bowls Sherlock over like a
tank.
Alone On the Water by Mad_Lori,
7 k words, gen. Sherlock Holmes never expected to live a long life, but he
never imagined that it would end like this. Sherlock is ill. He asks John to
help. John has to live with the consequences.
The Real Meaning of Idioms by feverishsea, 21 k words, teen. After two
weeks away, John finally texts Sherlock. He doesn’t expect Sherlock to respond.
He doesn’t expect Sherlock to keep texting him. And he really doesn’t expect
things to spiral out of control so rapidly.
Once More, With Feeling bycellard00rs, 21 k words, teen. To put off his
meddlesome, matchmaking mother, John convinces Sherlock to play the role of his
significant other. Unparalleled awkwardness ensues.
A Study in Intimacy by doodle,
5 k words, teen. People don’t touch Sherlock Holmes, not like they touch other
people. Then he meets John Watson.
and stand there at the edge of my
affection by coloredink, 2 k words, gen. “You’ve written love
letters,” Sherlock asserted. Sherlock asks John advice on how to write a love
letter. John tries to puzzle out who it is FOR.
What Meets the Eye by worldaccordingtofangirls, 8 k words, mature. Amnesia
is just another case to solve. Piece together unfamiliar faces, reconstruct the
old identity, the lost reality. A challenge that Sherlock could even enjoy. He
can read people like books. The man with the silver hair is his boss. The
tottering old woman, his landlady. The girl with the worried look in her
eyes…infatuated. And as for John Watson? His husband. Obviously.
The Gilded Cage by BeautifulFiction, 326 k words, explicit. In
a world where Omegas are the property of the elite Alphas, locked away and
treasured by those wealthy enough to buy them, John never questioned his
flatmate’s secondary gender. Sherlock Holmes was an Alpha through-and through.
Wasn’t he? A chance discovery turns the world on its head, and John is left
grappling to come to terms with Sherlock’s past as events conspire to threaten
their future.
Hitting the Water at Sixty Miles
an Hour by what_alchemy, 30 k words, explicit. John agrees to pose as Sherlock’s date on a
week-long birthday trip for Mummy Holmes with Mycroft in tow for comic relief.
They explore the Hebrides islands of Scotland, touring ruins and bird-watching.
Amid the beautiful, haunting scenery, John finally admits how he feels about
Sherlock.
The Internet Is Not Just For Porn by cyerus, 2
k words, gen. John is Sherlock’s internet boyfriend - from CANADA. No one
thinks he’s real.
Nature and Nurture by
earlgreytea68, 203 k words, mature. The British Government accidentally clones
Sherlock Holmes. Which brings a baby to 221B Baker Street.
A Cure For Boredom by emmagrant01, 81 k words, explicit . They’d
never talked about sex in the year they’d known each other. Well, that wasn’t
quite correct: Sherlock had never said a word about sex; John had bemoaned his
personal dearth of it on many occasions. This is the John and Sherlock visit a
sex club fic!
Dilaudid by Lintilla, 62 k, explicit . In a world where
omegas are coveted by the most exclusive alphas, John Watson chooses to live
undercover. With the help of medication, John lives as a beta letting no one
know his true nature. After moving in with Sherlock Holmes, the most amazing
alpha he’s ever met, he wonders how long he can keep his secret.
The Whore of Babylon Was a Perfectly
Nice Girl by out_there, 32 k words explicit Sherlock
walks into a room and takes all the space right out of it. He does the same
inside John’s head
State of Flux by Atiki, 24 k words, explicit. John’s
marriage is over and he is finally back home (i.e. at Baker Street, where he
belongs). Sherlock is awfully insecure and John is awfully hesitant, and
they’re both awkward idiots, of course, but they figure it out. Many First
Times happen.
Dear John by wendymarlowe, 23 k words, explicit . With
Sherlock dead, John eventually (under duress) makes a profile on an online
dating site. And falls into a long-distance relationship with an enigmatic
partner named William who reminds him of Sherlock in all the right ways. (Hint:
it turns out to be Sherlock.)
The Detective and the Demon by
oreganotea, 2 k words, gen. Sherlock, dabbling in magic, working on his own,
manages to summon a demon. He’s never seen one that likes to wear ugly jumpers
before. Somehow, it just fits.
The Loss of Flesh and Soul by
deuxexmycroft, 69 k words, mature. Five years after John Watson puts the
murderous Sherlock Holmes behind bars, a vicious copycat killer emerges. A
reluctant John is pulled out of retirement to seek the expertise of the only
man who can help, a man who has developed an unsettling obsession with John
himself. Crossover with Red Dragon/Silence of the Lambs
I’m Not Actually A Pervert by
dorothydonne, 7 k words, explicit. John
is between relationships. He stops in at a porn shop video booth for a quick
wank, and is surprised by an offer from long fingers through a hole in the
wall. A one-time thing becomes an odd, very hot, anonymous weekly meetup with
the stranger with the deep voice, and glorious lush lips
The heart on your sleeve by flawedamythyst, 5 k words, teen. Sherlock
stared at the imperfect circle on his left wrist in horror, then sat down on
his bed with a bit of a thump. After over thirty years, his heartmark was
finally showing activity. This was not good.
Two Two One Bravo Baker by abundantlyqueer, 114 k words, explicit . Captain
John Watson of 40 Commando, the Royal Marines, is assigned to protect and
assist Sherlock Holmes as he investigates what appears to be a simple war
atrocity in Afghanistan. An intense attraction ignites between the two men as
they uncover a conspiracy that threatens everything they’ve ever known, but
Sherlock is as much hunted as hunter, and everyone close to him is in deadly
danger. Can he solve the case in time to save himself and John?
A Quiet Murmuration by cathedral_carver, 4 k words, teen. Just pay me back with one thousand
kisses.
Electric Pink Hand Grenade by BeautifulFiction, 67 k words, explicit.
“If Sherlock’s brain is a hard drive, then these attacks are an
electro-magnetic pulse.” Sherlock Holmes does not do anything by half, not
even a migraine. It falls to John to witness one of the greatest minds he has
ever known tear itself apart, and he must do his best to help Sherlock pick up
the pieces.
echoes through time by chellefic, 21 k words, explicit. Mummy
sends a trunk from the Holmes cottage in Sussex to 221B. Its contents alter the
way John and Sherlock see themselves and one another.
The Sum of Us (Mostly Calculated by Everybody
Else) by Linpatootie, 9 k words, teen.
John decides to come out. More or less. Not that he’s gay or anything. He’s
just bumming his flatmate.
All The Best and Brightest
Creatures by wordstrings, 188 k, explicit. Sherlock sent Jim Moriarty
to prison for killing Carl Powers at age ten. This is the story of the
consequences.
Curious Case by
Cleo2010, 44 k, explicit. After burning his hands, Sherlock’s unable to release
his ‘tension’ in the usual manner. Who should he turn to? His totally,
completely straight friend and flatmate who’s totally not into Sherlock or his
boy parts at all. Definitely.
Left by lifeonmars, 45
k, mature. Magical AU. John Watson is left-handed. He’s tried not to let it
affect his life, but as any Lefty knows, that’s almost impossible.
I love all of these! I’m honored to be on this list.
