You Aren't Haunted By The War, Dr. Watson...

"Here dwell together still two men of note..."

"Easy on the plumage, Sherlock."

1. For every dick on tumblr, there's a zillion nice folks, it seems, and those nice folks were kind enough to remind me that if I enjoy it, I should do it. So I shall do it so long as I enjoy it!

2. For those far more tumblr-savvy than I am, can anyone explain why half the art I've done and tagged #lionlock does not show up in the #lionlock tag? I know nothing about anything, halp!

John knows what Sherlock needs, even when Sherlock doesn't.

Alright, so folks have been asking what my headcanon is for Lionlock-- here you go. Your mileage may vary! Lions:

Mycroft  - The king, of course. Not just of his own pride, but some sort of liege-lord to several other prides in the area.

Sherlock - The king's younger wayward brother, prone to roaming and ignoring territory borders and experimenting on dead antelopes rather than eating them.

Anthea - The king's ever-present majordomo; she has a bird companion named Blackberry (a lilac-breasted roller) with an eidetic memory to help keep the king's appointments.

Lestrade - The king of a small pride on the outskirts of Mycroft's territory. Mycroft is trying to sweet-talk him into bending the proverbial knee; Lestrade is not so easily swayed.

John - A lone wandering rogue-- an outcast from a distant pride war who's looking for a new start.

The rest of the cast:

Moriarty - Spotted hyena

Moran - Barbary Lion (?)

Anderson - Black-backed Jackal

Mrs. Hudson - Secretary Bird

Irene - Leopardess

Donovan - Honey badger!
