My father finds gay men uncomfortable.

He's told me before that it's like a knee-jerk for him. Something he doesn't consciously control. He sees two men behaving romantically, and his body reacts with mild discomfort.

In the 1960s, when he was in high school, most of the boys in his form thought he was gay on the simple fact that he wasn't homophobic. He wouldn't participate in insulting queer people, he didn't care if someone was gay, he wouldn't have a problem hanging out with gay people. So people thought he was gay. That's how prevalent homophobia was in his formative years.

When I was 10, my dad told me very seriously that Holmes and Watson were gay. That it was obvious from the literature and the time period that they were meant to be a gay couple. When I was 14 and I came out to my parents as bi, when my mum was upset my dad ripped into her for it. Told her that she was being stupid, that it was my life to live how I wanted to and that she needed to get over herself.

My dad formed my views on censorship: that being that it was completely ridiculous and thoroughly evil. He didn't believe in censorship of any kind. If I asked him a question about sex, he answered it honestly. When I was 12 and I asked him about homosexuality, still young and uncertain, he told me that there was nothing wrong with it. That it was just how some people were. That there was likely an evolutionary reason for it. And that for some people it was uncomfortable on an instinctual level.

He taught me that just because you're uncomfortable with something, doesn't make it wrong. He also taught me that most people don't understand this.

I see a lot of this on the internet as of the last few years. The anti shipping movement, the terf movement, the anti ace movement. It all stems from discomfort that people have crossed wires into believing means wrong. Really every -ism and -phobia out there stems from this same fundamental aspect of humanity.

[adding to this whenever I update, last: June 2026]

Unless otherwise indicated, usually it goes like this, though not always explicitly: my h/w is romantic, my Sherlock acespec, my Watson bi. Everything else varies.

The Time-Sensitive Incident. Mature. Established Relationship. Oneshot. 1.7k.

In which Watson makes an advance, is rebuffed, and still gets what he wants. In which Sherlock pursues various studies.

Memorable Occasions. Domestic. Developing/vague Relationship. Oneshot. 2.9k.

Sherlock does not sleep for three days straight, collapses, stubbornly refuses to rest, and Watson needs to literally cuddle him to sleep. They each have nerves of steel in their own way.

Unnecessary Embellishments. Domestic. Oneshot. 1.7k.

When Watson assists Holmes in the search for a reference, he stumbles upon a file not intended for his eyes. He discovers a tender secret, confirms a tender heart. And is a little bit smug about it.

A Kiss in Three Acts. (First) Kiss 2+1 fic. 3/3. 6.2k.

Two times they almost kissed and one time they did it right.

A Delicate Question. Intimate. Coming Out. 2/2. 6.6k.

Watson is hurt, which leads to a tender moment of intimacy between him and Holmes that gets him thinking.... and posing a delicate question about his proclivities. Sherlock does not lie. Will this revelation change things between them?

Your Declaration Returned. Love Declaration. Established Relationship. 3.2k.

Sherlock Holmes has been a dire critic of the romantic for as long as I have known him. On the matter I might declare: Sherlock Holmes claims he is no romantic. Evidence points to the contrary.

Sherlock Holmes and the Beheaded Bicycleman. Case fic. 1/3. 3.5k. wip. (Sleepy Hollow pastiche)

“You don’t think a headless apparition is at fault, do you?”

In which a distraught client worries for his disappeared friend and recounts a ghastly tale of a beheaded cyclist. Can Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson crack the case?

The Early Bird.... Crack/Comedy. Oneshot. 400.

Holmes wakes up Watson to ask him a question of utmost importance. No, no, really.

A Mortifying Ordeal. Explicit. Porn with feelings. 6/6. 21k.

Sherlock Holmes learns to have sex and feelings.

His Consolation Prize. Explicit. PWP. Oneshot. 3.5k.

Holmes is downbeat after a fruitless day on a case. He requires not so tender care, and Watson is happy to provide it.

Pleasure Device. Explicit. PWP. 2/3. 3.4k. wip.

It is a regular occurrence that Sherlock Holmes pleasures himself in the privacy of his bedroom. It is a much rarer - exceedingly rare - perhaps singular - occurrence that John Watson walks in on him. And then is on him. And in him. And after that? Leave it to Holmes.

Cockfighting. Explicit. PWP. 2/3. 4.5k. wip.

Many things are forbidden by law. Cockfighting, for example. As in... the confrontation of two cocks where one triumphs over the other. You know, in a sort of arena. Wanna wager a bet?

(Takes That line from PRIO and runs wild with it.)

Unhand Me Not. Gen. Handholding in cabs. 1/2. 1k. wip.
