Jon of Cordona

Hello, as promised, here is the trope bingo! Every writer can just pick a trope from the bingo card and write a fanfic using it. Of course, multiple people can pick the same trope, the more the better!

There would be no deadlines or limits, we'd all just collectively try to fill out the whole bingo card by making sure that every trope has at least one fanfic that focusses on it. I will later list the fics for every trope inder this post!

AO3 collection: https://archiveofourown.org/collections/Jonlock_Trope_Bingo

Bonus: Artists are very welcome to join in and create a piece of fanart for the tropes as well.

Tropes and fics:

💚 Hello, froggies! 💚

Here goes the poll for the main theme and the alternative theme for the upcoming FW Sherlock Holmes Fanweekend, which will take place on the weekend of Nov 20 - Nov 22.

Again, I picked an external poll generator to allow voting for two themes at once. The main theme will be the one with the most votes, the alternative theme - the one with the second most.

Please, feel free to vote for the themes you would enjoy creating for most! The poll will run until July 28.

I'm the person who ran the zine's Tumblr blog (shco-shta-fanzine), and I need to let you know that today Tumblr deactivated it without any warning or explanation.

At the moment, I'm waiting for a response from Tumblr Support. You can still view the zine release post through this reblog. We also have a public Discord server.

If Tumblr Support doesn't restore the blog or at least respond within a week, I'll create a new blog and move all the important information there. Until then, please help spread this post among the fandom, as people may be wondering what happened and where they can view the zine.

I love it

You play as a 21-year old Sherlock returning to the island town he grew up on to visit his mother's grave. This trip down memory lane turns into an investigation when he learns there may be more to her death than he remembers. You are joined by imaginary-friend-slash-tulpa Jon who fills the role that Watson normally would. Interesting implications, there.

Hello, froggies!

I will now begin taking suggestions for the themes of the next FW Sherlock Holmes Fanweekend (Nov 20 - Nov 22)!

The themes that didn't make the cut last time but still got at least one vote will automatically carry over to the next round. The updated list of themes we got so far:

Weather

Clue Board

Mystery

Play

Chess

Hope

Grief

Pets

Day Off

Mind Palace

Journey

Letters

It would be nice if we got more themes to pick from. This is where you come in!

Please, send in your theme suggestions in whichever way is most comfortable to you - as an ask, an IM, or as a comment under this post!

I will be accepting them until July 21.

"I love you."

"So this is it? It's over?"

"Because you are breaking my heart!"

"I try not to think about you."

"When you were alone, I held you."

I'm not saying they are intended to be read this way, but to me personally, these are romantic coded lines.

I will say it how I see it:

The way they part ways sounds like a breakup to me, and the way Sherlock handles it afterwards seems like a breakup to me.

And then, in "The Awakened" there is suddenly a painting of Jon you can get as a meta-reward, and it simply has the label "Forever." And I live for this!

And do you know what I think is tragic?

I think if Sherlock actually had any romantic feelings for Jon, he would not have realized this until Jon was gone. Of course, he has always cared for Jon, but he did not actually believe he could lose him until he lost him, and it broke his heart more than he'd anticipated.

And this, my friends, is the beauty of Jonlock to me. It's tragic and sweet and beautiful... and impossible.

In the trailer and in the loading screen, their room is shown to have one double bed instead of having two single beds.

In the game, refurbishing the manor is optional. However, there is already one bed in their bedroom for obvious reasons - because where would Sherlock sleep if you don’t refurbish the manor? The question is, why is Jon‘s bed optional and where would he sleep if you don’t refurbish the manor and buy his bed back? Right.

The whole „we have booked only one room in the hotel and we only need one key, because we will be together all the time“ conversation BEFORE Jon is revealed to be imaginary. Plus Jon smiling at Sherlock as he says that. Of course they share a room, it’s questionable if Jon can exist in a separate room at all, but… the fact that it was explicitly addressed is just… hmm let’s say the first reaction of everyone I know when I show them the scene without context is „oh are they a couple?“

Jon lying around in seductive poses in the most inappropriate of moments and making comments a la „I would look so good in this uniform“ or „I look so good in this room“ (these are no direct quotes ofc but depending on the translation, that’s what he is saying basically). If we see Jon as a product of Sherlock‘s unconscious, these lines are ultimately Sherlock seeing a room with a nice satin doble bed and immediately going „Oh Jon would look so great on this bed if he lay around like one of Jack's French girls“ sorry not sorry.

Sherlock imagining Jon‘s shirt being open and also a little too tight. Because Jon looking Like That is Sherlock's imagination.

Sherlock and Jon carving their initials everywhere like most teenagers do when they have a crush, lol

Jon basically being Sherlock's biggest fanboy, who cannot stop showering him in praise and who keeps writing in his diary how important it is to him to be close to Sherlock.

Sherlock calling Jon his anima.

Sherlock saying how only music can move him, and Jon being able to play every single music instrument in the world, and always doing so whenever he sees one, because obviously, Sherlock loves listening.

And since I'm listing things, I will continue the list with things, which I love about these two, no matter if they can be seen as romantic or not!

Sherlock considering Jon's feelings in every situation. Even after the biggest fight they have in the game (the M for Mystery case), Sherlock cannot let Jon misunderstand his words and feel hurt or unwanted.

Sherlock telling a police officer that "he is not alone, but with his friend", even though it's obvious that there is nobody else there. Because to Sherlock, acknowledging Jon has higher priority than what people think of him.

Sherlock crying for Jon during the Hamlet play.

Sherlock making Mycroft buy Jon a bed.

Jon lying to Sherlock, that a random skull belongs to Siger, only so Sherlock can have closure.

In the "Jon did it" ending - Jon taking the hit for Sherlock, whenever Violet becomes violent.

In the "Jon did it" ending - even though Sherlock is convinced Jon has killed his mother, he still embraces Jon before he shoots him, because he sees that Jon is scared. And yes, Jon wanting to embrace Sherlock, while being fully aware he is going to die by his hand.

Sherlock narrating 3 of the endings, and in 2 of them, he is talking to Jon.

Sherlock crying when he meets Watson, because he reminds him of Jon

Sherlock's pain when Mycroft mentions Jon in The Awakened. Sherlock immediately picking the violin, because it's the only way he can cope with emotions.

Sherlock struggling to say Jon's name during the "The Dreams of Children", because it hurts too much.

Sherlock not giving up on the idea, that Jon might come back, calling out for Jon every time when he is in distress even 2,5 years after Jon's "death".

Thanks to @milkofbeads or I forgot to post this for the @shco-shta-fanzine 😘😘😘

My piece from @shco-shta-fanzine !

I was not sure about my contribution when I first submitted it, but after letting it marinate, it was not that bad XD And of course I love how this fanzine has turned out! Everyone did such a great job 🤍
