I do not have to reinvent the wheel every time I write fanfiction

I do not have to make every chapter's word count above 1,000 in order for it to be good

It is okay if some things don't make sense

I can write whatever I want

I am writing this shit for free

If people don't like my stuff, they can block me. If they're being mean about it, I can block them.

The most important part of writing fanfiction is having fun

Writing fanfiction is supposed to be fun

I do not have to appeal to people

This shit is fun

And, do you know what Holmes leaves behind for Watson at the Reichenbachfall?

Coincidence?

The Resident Doctor by Calais Reno

Chapter 4: The Soldier

John is a soldier, following Mycroft’s orders. He knows how to separate his feelings from his work. It’s convenient he’s a doctor too, but that isn’t why he was hired. He has an assignment: find the mole. When that’s done, he’ll move out. Staying was never a possibility. Never trust your heart to a soldier.

Thank you for reading / reblogging! 💕💕💕

Sherlock with a sheet.

Part 3 of my Sherlock life drawing series:

3. Inkpen brush: Ink-1 Precision 3px

I abandoned the idea of drawing him without the pants due to the damn hassle with tumblr's mature algorithm.

Guess this therefore also doesn't really work as an entry for @sherlockchallenge for February 2026: 'zero'

Here is part 1 of this series.

Life's been a bit rough lately. Uni is really out for my neck. Naturally, I had to rewatch five romcoms in a row!

So, I came here to ask if there's any johnlock fic out there that is inspired by already exising romcom movies? e.g. 10 Things I Hate About You, How To Lose A Guy In Ten Days, The Proposal, etc, etc.

Or maybe just a romcom-y type of johnlock fic! Any will do. Thank you! :D Have a good one!

Hi Nonny!!!

Awww, I hope uni finished well for you and I am sorry for taking so long to answer this. Big HUGS!!

POV will alternate between Sherlock and John; cwb writes Sherlock, Ellipsical writes John.

I loved working with that teacher too. He was the kind of crunchy art nerd whose own kid didn’t know what candy was, who loved bird watching and wearing tweed. We’d chat while they worked and it was just a three hour pleasure rather than work.

When the class switched from charcoal to gouache a devil medium, the evilest watercolor, the students struggled. We’d have in class painting where they’d spend the whole time trying to mix one color instead of just accepting something as good enough and trying to practice other skills.

So one day I showed up to my shift and announced, “I have stickers. If you get color down for the whole composition, you get a sticker.”

They wanted. The stickers. So bad. Students who had agonized before about keeping lines neat and perfect plowed ahead. The first student to call me over I tsked at. “Putting grey on everything doesn’t count,” I chided, “I asked for colors on each object.”

The classroom worked in furious joy, young adults who had seen my bird and cactus stickers and gone feral. The teacher was flabbergasted. “Why do they want stickers? They could just buy stickers…”

I held up my water bottle and showed him a tiny 3D bubble sticker the program director had brought to my game teams space last week. “You never grow out of wanting to earn a sticker.”

1)Don't take zoom shots (actors won't be able to hide it )

2)Ask Sherlock not to act like he is meeting John for a date(the shoulder tilt,that smile)

3) Change episode filter to something that dosent resemble Twilight movie theme.

4) Make the handshake look more firm.

The Case of the Deadly Celebrant by 221b_hound (T) "You’d better not have proposed to me and brought me to Ireland to get us married by a serial killer for a case and not because you actually want to marry me.”

Unerringly, Always, Forever by nondeducible (G) It's the day of their wedding and things get overwhelming for Sherlock.

For This by A_Candle_For_Sherlock (G) For John, for this, he needs to get it right.

Last Name by gaylock (G) Sherlock and John argue about who is going to change their last name in the wedding.

not gay by simplyclockwork (M) John's not gay. Sherlock knows. It doesn't matter.

'Tis a Gift by ChrisCalledMeSweetie (T) Can you deduce which gift was given by each guest at the Johnlock wedding?

FILM & TV YESTERDAY, TODAY, TOMORROW: Day 3 – Characters

The Resident Doctor by Calais Reno

Chapter 3: The Boyfriend ❤️

"Where are you taking her?” “The Landmark.” A nice restaurant, which explains the jacket and tie. A pricey place for a locum doctor to take his date.  He’s started over again on the tie. I bat his hands away, undo it and retie.  “Thank you.” He smiles up at me. “I’ll have my phone on vibrate if you need me. Don’t wait up.”  Another wink. (Honestly, the only people who actually wink are elderly, flirtatious ladies or dirty old men.) With a final glance at the mirror, he puts on his jacket and heads down the stairs.  ...She’s going to ask him to move in with her.  While that might solve my flatmate problem, it creates another. How will I know what John Watson is up to, if he’s not here to deduce?  ...I’m… well, not fond of him. Nothing like that. I’m used to him now. And I’m curious. If he moves out, I’ll never suss out exactly what he’s doing for Mycroft.  Almost at once, a plan comes into my mind. 

Thank you for reading / reblogging! 💕💕💕

I may be away, but the fic recs never stop! Here's this week's collection of Sherlock fics! Enjoy!

RECENT MFLs

No Regrets by lem0nf0x (G, 774 w., 1 Ch. || Asexual Sherlock, Idiots in Love, Fluff, Coming Out, Getting Together, Friends to Lovers) – Sherlock comes out to John as asexual

Okay by downrighteffervescent (T, 2,752 w., 1 Ch. || Post-TRF, Reunions, Allusions to Starter for Ten, Jumper Theft) – John couldn’t help but feel resentment towards this celestial being of a man who had pulled him right back into his orbit once again, regardless of whether he wanted to be there or not (he did, unquestionably, and *that* pissed him off even more).

Are You Breathing Better, My Love? by Lock_John_Silver (T, 5,647 w., 1 Ch. || Post-TRF, POV First Person Sherlock, Pining Sherlock, Sherlock's Backstory, Past Torture, Hospitalization, Aftermath of Serbia, Sherlock's Scars, Physiotherapy, Sherlock's Mind Palace, Mind Palace John, Texting, BAMF Anthea, Disguised Sherlock, Assassin Mary, Protective John, Oblivious Sherlock, Idiots in Love, Minor Character Death, Hurt/Comfort, Cuddling/Snuggling, First Kiss, Love Confessions) – Sherlock is in no state to seek John out after his return from Serbia. His body is broken and he spends weeks in hospital. To his disappointment, John is not the first person to visit him when visitors are allowed, and when he finally appears, he's got his fiancée with him. A woman who has liar written all over her face. It's all rather hateful.

SHERSTRADE

Pieces of You by uCharlie (E, 16,881 w., 19 Ch. || Sherstade & Johnlock || 10 Years Post S4, Established Relationship, Friendship / Love, Bisexuality, Parenting, Life Partners) – It's been 10 years since the Final Problem.
