#post-reichenbach

The cold bit - his scarf he pulled tight;

Wand'ring London alone,

By the glow of his phone ...

'Til he wound up 'neath Baker Streets light.

Emergency Fluff by helloliriels 🩺♥️📩 for @fluffbruary 2026

It hurts me, to see Dr Watson like this. Oh there are no unwarranted scenes in public, he does not break down and keen as he stands beside me at the graveside. But his stiffness, shoulders back head stiff on his neck, tucked in. His soldier days bracing him against the world. Against this loss tearing at him from the inside out.

Dear reader, this is a new FaerieCat Mormor fic. Yet it’s not a FaerieCat Mormor fic as you have got to know and love them.

Unfortunately, sometimes life is a fucking bitch, even to cats and faeries, which is very unjust of her.

Half of FaerieCat lost her life partner after a brutal and harrowing few months of illness, both much too long and much too short, leaving her adrift in numb consternation in a world irrevocably changed.

Art can be a healing process to the artist as well as to the observer. This is our reflection of the pain and horror life can bring, through the eyes of our beloved boys. It will have a FaerieCat happy ending, because they always do. But the road there may be personal, and painful, and triggering, and not always pleasant to read or beautifully worded.

Jim is lying low in Tuscany after his faked death. Sebastian is a shell of a man, trying to keep Jim’s Empire together in his memory. Then a bullet pierces his brain.

Officially deceased for eighteen months and still looking for the last remainders of Moriarty’s criminal empire, an exhausted Sherlock boards a night train in Germany to bring him to his next hunting ground. Due to a mishap with the sleeper cars, he is forced to share a compartment with a stranger – who turns out to be not quite as strange as Sherlock thought. The universe isn’t lazy, after all ...

Rec: This is such a unique and fun idea! It’s sort of a variation on the locked room trope with the bonus of a virtual first-hand experience of European railway travel. As a post-Reichenbach fixit, it has the advantage of there being neither any pesky interference from Mary as well nor any imminent danger looming to distract from the business at hand, which is of course the reuniting of Sherlock and John.

The unique setting creates an intimate space which is safe both metaphorically and concretely, a place where emotional confessions and physical encounters can be indulged without internal or external pressures -- and indulge they definitely do!

it’s not a vigil. it’s not. still, you stand silent and watch traffic lights swim across the city streets until morning. something in you screams; it’s over, it’s over, it’s over.

a beloved friend of mine, @irregolar-mente (also known as @bashingboundaries), passed away very suddenly over a month ago now. they were an incredible writer and person, and an absolute beacon of love in the mormor community. considering that seb practically lived in her head, i felt the need to make something like this, immediately post-reichenbach. sort of a cathartic goodbye from the both of us.

The first time it happened was completely by accident.

From @johnlocky​ : This is a heartbreaking + heartwarming, touching and angsty reunion story. It gets pretty emotional in places, so if you are into angst and feels, this is probably for you! It was such an honor and joy to narrate.  

Post-Reichenbach, Jim has left little signs around saying that he's alive, that he has a plan and will be back. But, obviously, no matter how much Sebastian and Richard want to believe he's still alive, those little signs had been planted there before he killed himself. There's no way he survived, right?
