So you told yourself a better story.

The more I reflect on it the more I believe this person knows me and knew this minimalist take would particularly piss me off. The fact this is on a throwaway account with this being their only post really enforces that. 

Process of Terrace (2018) ✍️✨ 

Rose says, "It is believed with alarming pervasiveness that autistic and other neurodivergent people 'don't understand social cues/social situations.' My question to neurotypicals is, do you?

“It seems to me that culturally we’re all so acclimated to being disingenuous and mildly manipulative in social settings and calling that normal and acceptable. As a result, many of you are severely disconnected from authentic connections with others.

“Afraid to say ‘this is how I really feel’ or ‘this is what I really think of this/you,’ instead you speak and act in a cryptic coded language under a veneer of straight up falsehood. Doesn’t that get exhausting? We are certainly exhausted by it.”

Sherlock x Reader

setting: between THOB and TRF

not excactly canon

summary:

A Trojan that drives Scotland Yard mad brings you after more than ten years unprepared back to Sherlock. The feelings that are triggered in him again and threaten to tear him apart cause Sherlock to escape into drugs again and vanish out of sight. Since Mycroft and MI-6 are unable to find him, you are forced to use your AI ARES for the first time, which has tracked his location in a very short time. Despite all the memories of you and all the feelings that Sherlock just won’t let go, he decides to cut you out of his life. Until one day you are kidnapped and the trojan is only the beginning of something bigger.

A game in which there can only be one winner.

YES

Starts the season off by going after Otis and Maeve to nip the 2 obvious trouble makers before moving on to focus on the black, queer and neurodivergent students, and there’s a clear intent in how she talks to the 3.

She does not respect Cal as a non binary person and sees them as a women, which makes the continuous assaults clearly misogynoir on top of transphobia and erasure.

She dismisses and then initially sees Jackson as useful particularly for image purposes before dumping him because of Jackson’s own sense of justice getting in her way.

Viv is the most useful for a lot of the season because as a neurodivergent coded character Viv is vulnerable to authority due to how isolating it can be, as well as her desire for structure and good prospects. Hopes treatment of Viv gets so comfortable that she finally says some gross stuff right before the open day. This ultimately destroys her plan cause us neurodivergent folk have a strong sense of justice when rattled, when something is wrong we hate it.

Then there’s the sign hanging scene. Truly monstrous attempt to tamp down on the school, force every student to follow the rules by directly separating the black (cal) queer (cal, lily, Adam) and nuerodivergent (it’s coding but lily and Adam have a lot of coding) students and labelling them as outcasts and freaks.

This all doesn’t work mainly because the students destroy hopes power the only way you can: make clear that you embrace being a loud proud deviant and are not going to be silenced

And right at the end when Hope is attempting to tut tut Otis with her ‘I’m older and wiser and everyone from back when agrees with me’ Otis destroys her logic calmly by saying ‘no, they just weren’t allowed to speak up back then’.

Pro tip: a useful trick to destroying a fascist is to make it clear they’re views are not popular and they are in the minority.

Hi Lovely!!

Ahhh, I don’t really have any that I know of where Sherlock is primarily a violinist instead of a detective; The closest I have is this one, but it’s for-a-case:

No Good Without You by textsandscones (T, 4,021 w. || Case Fic, Sherlock’s Violin, Dancing / Busking, Soppy Fluff) – A diverting new case surrounding musicians and stolen instruments captures Sherlock’s attention, the consequences of which lead both detective and doctor to see one another in a different light. Part 1 of Prompt Fills

I have to add (so maybe we’re a bliss of another kind) by paperclipbitch, a rock band AU that has Sherlock as the songwriting genius, John as the bassist, Molly as the drummer and Jim as the not-entirely-sane lead singer. It’s more gen than Johnlock, but it’s written in a beautifully dreamy, surreal style and every time I read it I wish there were more to this universe.

There’s @sherlockedcarmilla ’s current WIP Dissonance

Last Call at the Homesick Pub by Chryse (T, 3,203 w., 1 Ch. || Post-TRF/Pre-TEH, Pining, St. Patrick’s Day) – "You may have heard of the remarkable explorations of a Norwegian named Sigerson.“

Steam and Strings by billiethepoet (E, 4,336 w., 1 Ch. || Orchestra AU) – Sherlock uses a gay bathhouse to relax from the tediousness of playing in Lestrade’s terrible orchestra. But sometimes you meet the most interesting people in the strangest places.

(so maybe we’re a bliss of another kind) by paperclipbitch (T, 12,975 w., 1 Ch. || Rock Band AU) – “You don’t write love songs,” John says. “You write about other things and people misinterpret them because in the right lighting they look like love songs. But they’re not.”

While the Music Lasts by gunandviolin (E, 44,645+ w., 6/? Ch. || WiP || Orchestra AU || Slow Burn, Jealous John, Angst with Happy Ending, Classical Music, Sexual Tension) – John Watson, a weary veteran of the professional orchestra circuit, settles into his new position as principal clarinetist for the London Symphony, hoping that he’s left his worries behind in the States. However, his sudden acquaintance with the brilliant solo violinist Sherlock Holmes and the suspicious circumstances surrounding the death of his predecessor prove that John’s troubles are far from over.

Dissonance by CarmillaCarmine (E, 66,150+ w., 12/? Ch. || WIP || Punk Band AU || Pining, Bi/Gay Panic, Best Friends to Lovers, First Kiss, Swimming, Music, Doctor Watson, Drug References, First Time, Blow/Hand Jobs) – Straight from military service, living a life devoid of purpose, John meets a man who reawakens his passion for music.

Mine is The Bang and the Clatter. I’ve read it more times than I can count, and I revisit it every single year when spring training starts. I love Sherlock and baseball and this fic is romantic and funny and exciting and it always puts me in the best of moods.

@lediona25 says: I have a weakness for sports AUs - A Study in Winning is also a fave.

@anotherwellkeptsecret says: To Light Another’s Path <333

@imnovampire says: The Starving Faithful by orphan_account.

@sussexbeeinchelsea says: Never Turn Your Back to the Sea (yours!)  and The Ground Beneath Your Feet (Chryse)

@sarahthecoat says: The Quiet Man, and The Progress of Sherlock Holmes, both by ivyblossom. I think The Men Who Talk Between the Words is going to be also.

@thetimemoves says: I’m a big rereader, so it’s hard to pick just one but what stands out right now is The Love Song of Dr. John H. Watson by Kate_Lear written way back during the S1 hiatus. John taking an unsuspecting Sherlock out for a perfectly-tailored Valentine’s Day adventure? Yes please! There’s murder and snark and touching and sweetness. They explore London, and later each other, and I will never ever tire of it.

@cumberfoil says: I love A Study in Winning and Performance in a Leading Role. I reread them once a year.

@mercurialkitty says: Two Coffees One Black One with Sugar Please series – essentially, To Sleep, Perchance to Smother Your Flatmate with a Pillow and the two sequels  and Earlgreytea’s Nature and Nurture series. I love Oliver.

@rsfcommonplace says: The Affair of the Asphyxiated Acafan by AJ Hall comes to mind. Or Rigging Screws by the same author.

@peageetibbs says: I am relatively new to the fandom, and though there are already quite a few fics in my “Favourites” folder, I rarely found time to reread them, especially the long ones, because there are so many more awesome fics still to discover. But I have read “If You Can´t Move Heaven, Raise Hell”  and “Staricase Wit”  by splix and “Ridiculous”  by KateAtTheClose a few times

@13monkton says: Anything by madlori, ivyblossom and caitlinfairchild. Showing my age, I know.

@cyn2k says: Anything by BeautifulFiction, though Electric Pink Hand Grenade is dear to me because migraines are a bane. The Art of Seduction series by flawedamythyst. This Doesn’t Feel Like Falling by Dark3Star.

@idkmanshrug says: Honestly, any of your fics, but especially Inscrutable to the Last  :) but anything Sherlock from JenTheSweetie is really good, I highly recommend it!!!
