it's been almost a year since i posted this link, which means i probably haven't updated any of the lists in the folder, and there may be some new meta writers that i haven't gotten around to including. But the idea is, here's a place to get started exploring series 4 meta (and yes, i still dream of doing earlier "semesters", but it gets harder when people leave fandom/tumblr).
My focus is more on reading the subtext, than trying to sort out "what really happened" in the surface story.
if i can figure out how to do it, i would love to make this a pinned post, since the clicky in my header stopped working last year.
ETA sept 2021, if google's new security measures interferes with the link, message me and i will see if i can get you in.

It is one of the curious ironies of existence that a man, believing himself content and secure, may find his fortunes undone by a cruel turn of fate; and yet, when all hope seems lost and he stands upon the very brink of ruin, some unforeseen caprice of providence may lift him once more from the abyss.

This story holds a very special place in my heart at is was written for the @very-sincerely-yours-zine, a Holmes/Watson anthology! It brought together some of the most talented fan artists and writers from this corner of the internet discussing the queering of the reading of Holmes’s and Watson’s relationship. The result was a stunningly beautiful book, reflecting on the idea of home and the premise “that Holmes and Watson love each other very much” (Foreword), and in so many different ways. It is a dream come true and a great honour to have contributed to this beautiful, moving, heartwarming project, and I consider it the pinnacle of my fanfiction career. Thank you to everyone who made this possible! <3
I especially thank dear @petitcroc for creating the stunning illustrations for this fic - I almost cried with happiness when I saw them. <3
I can only encourage you to look up the other contributions to the zine! You can find some of the other fanfics in the Fic Collection here on Ao3. There will be a leftover sale of physical copies and merch from 7 to 31 July 2026 here. PDFs will be on sale indefinietely. Look up the info post on Tumblr!

Here's an idea about why kids are so anxious and depressed all the time...the environments kids are in most of the time are very stressful and don't fulfill their needs for play, rest, proper variety of foods, positive social opportunities, and freedom from fear pain punishment etc
Like everyone with any basic understanding of animal welfare knows that if you put an animal in an enclosure that is too crowded, without hiding spots, with no freedom to move around, no ability to avoid harsh and stressful stimuli, and scare it by shouting at it and punishing it, the animal will become stressed and start chewing its own fur off or hurting itself or become sick or unable to eat...
But we expect human children to grow up in these conditions and literally blame them when they develop the exact type of problems that any creature under those conditions would

I'm obsessed with gardening systems that utilize rainwater without the use of barrels or cisterns. My ultimate fav is using bioswales to catch and filter stormwater on the street.
Fun addition: Dams that utilize trees to catch dirt/ stop erosion, and prevent disaster that can come from broken dams.
Also, using these to reduce stormwater loads in storm events, particularly in places with combined stormwater and sewage systems, could/would be helpful at reducing river discharges of raw sewage. (If climate change is factored in at system level cos more rain in less time needs to be accouted for at rhe large scale designs...)
Plus using constructed wetlands to retain these discharges and treat them before rivers too!
I do a simple version of this just for my yard, because we get heavy rain events approximately yearly that previously flooded the yard about 3 or 4 inches deep.
I've been thinking of doing another to better handle run off from the road, but it's fairly far down the projects list.

“Here’s a letter for you, old man,” I announced as I sifted through the morning post one grey day in October. “Not a lot else, I’m afraid.”
Holmes folded down the top of the newspaper he was reading so he could see me. “A letter from whom?”
“Not sure.” I turned it over to study it as best I could. The envelope was thick and expensive, postmarked from America. The ink was rich and black, and it smelled unexpectedly floral, with an odd sulphuric note underneath. “Looks to be a woman’s writing, I’d say.”
“If you would.” He held out a pale hand. I passed him the envelope and he neatly sliced it open with his pocket knife. A single page slipped out onto his breakfast plate. He unfolded it with a flick of his wrist, then smiled. “Ah! Morticia.”
“Morticia?”
“Addams. She is my second cousin.”
I was immediately intrigued, for Holmes so rarely talked about his relatives. It had taken several years after our meeting for him to bring up the subject of his elder brother, who lived and worked barely an hour’s walk away. I wasn’t surprised that a second cousin in America had gone unnoted until now.
“Unusual names run in the family, I see.”
Holmes smirked. “Her grandmother was my great-aunt Séraphine, who met and married a quite singular gentleman named Algernon Frump while travelling. They settled over in the States many years ago, and dear Morticia now resides there with her husband.”
“Why does she write you?”
“She is arranging a sort of family reunion on All Hallow’s Eve. Apparently it has been far too long since we have all seen each other.”
“How long is that?”
“Several years at least. It was certainly before you and I met.”
“And will you oblige her?”
“I suppose I will.” He folded the letter and placed it neatly back in its envelope, tucking it into his inside pocket. “You’ve been angling for a holiday, my boy. Would this satisfy you?”
“Wouldn’t it be terribly rude?” I asked, startled. “She has invited you, not me.”
He tutted. “Nonsense, Watson! Morticia knows we live together, of course.”
“How?”
“She will have read your book.”
“Oh! Well that is kind of her. But a family reunion, Holmes, I am not—”
“You are my partner and intimate friend. I assure you there are members of the Addams clan with far more tenuous connections, and many of them also of no blood relation. You will not be out of place, and they will be glad to meet you.”
