Here I am, drawing (and thinking about) Sherlock and John for the first time in seven (eight?) years ... God, I was so obsessed with that show, I got on everybody’s nerves. (Which I know because a former classmate told me years later just how annoying I had been lol.)
I’m not entirely happy with how this turned out, but at least it’s much better than the attempt I made in 2015.
(Also, I blame @newt-and-salamander – so this is for you.)

Watching people get into BBC Sherlock within the last year has been so interesting because I thought everyone just accidentally stumbled upon it in 2015 and were perpetually stuck inside of the torture labyrinth forever and that was the entire fanbase

Sherlock Fic Recs: Christmas Edition {2023}
Tumblr media
❄️ Gather ~ ☃️ ☃️ ☃️ ~ 'round and 🎉 make 🎷merry🍹, all ye fic-loving fandom elves -- 'tis the season to shine a spotlight🕯️on Sherlockian Christmas fics!!! Here are some of my favorites -- I tried to pick ones that I haven't seen mentioned in recent lists that have been in my tumblr stream. Whether they're new to you, or just a reminder to re-visit faves, enjoy!!! ❄️ [In order of the year they were published.] ........................................................... 1. I'm Not His Date [2014] by objetpetita [ 17,029 words / T ] :: It all starts in a Boston coffee shop, where English professor Sherlock Holmes upends a visiting John Watson in a clever and fun "meet cute" (or "meet irritating-pompous-insufferable") in a whirlwind of Sherlockian proportions, and we're off to the races. There is a snowfight on the Common, Death Driving Miss Daisy: Lacan and Popular Culture, a Harry & Clara Christmas Eve wedding, witches, and a very boozy department party. It's as adorable as my favorite Christmas rom-com film, The Holiday. And it starts off with a corker of a first sentence: "It was morning, it was zero bloody degrees, everything around him was unfamiliar and American and cold, and John Watson was right on that inhuman precipice between still drunk and terribly hung over."
2. 5,687 (Approximately) [2015] by prettysailorsoldier [ 6,771 words / T ] :: Just a few years post-uni, Sherlock is enduring the agonies of a long-distance relationship with his boyfriend, who is on deployment in Afghanistan. During those times when John's on leave, the last people Sherlock wants to see are the idiots at the Met, so they've never caught sight of John and think he is a figment of Sherlock's imagination -- especially since he can't get home that Christmas. The set-up is sketched out with delightful fic flair, and the ending is not only sweet, but satisfyingly punitive [ c/o a very bamf John ]. The text messaging is some of my favorite writing in the Sherlock fandom -- their relationship in all of its multi-dimensionality comes through beautifully.
3. The 12 Truths of Christmas [2016] by @breath4soul [ 3,321 words / T ] :: This is a fic that has at its core the surfacing of unspoken emotional attraction betweenJohn and Sherlock via a very fun concept: “In place of some appalling or imbecilic gift inflicted upon me in the name of tradition on Christmas day, I propose that you provide me with one previously unknown fact about you for each day leading up to Christmas. 12 in total, John.” #9 has all the feels, and is a tour de force -- every time I re-read it it makes me break out in a smile, even though I know what's coming. Sherlock breaks out somewhat more: "Sherlock feels a flood of heat in several places at once. He stands up quickly and walks to his violin. He plays wild, erratic snaps of quick-paced music." The author has a whimsical and entirely understandable note to add: "You may fall in love with John reading this - I did." 4. The Romance Was There [2017] by @apliddell [ 4,011 words / G ] :: The author deserves an award for this being one of the best uses of Harry Watson in a fic, and of HW by Sherlock in a fic :-) 221B has never been cozier, Sherlock has never been more winsome, and John is a species type model of John in all of his clueless Johnness. The narrative dances along and sparkles and shines as seduction evolves, and Sherlock's rogueish charm is on full display. There's a poignant and endearing confessional letter, plus there's a Sherlock/Jeremy Brett reference that is absolute perfection in serving its role in helping the narrative quickstep the night away. 5. The Man in Aisle Ten [2020] by @blogstandbygo [ 1395 words / G ] :: Sherlock has several mysteries to unravel in the midst of Harrod's on Christmas Eve: what is the perfect gift for John? why is he having so much trouble identifying the perfect gift for John? and, incidentally, along the way to solving those, a local one. Luckily, Sherlock has Moira, master department store sleuth, to lead him to the solution. This fic is a small, perfect gift -- rather like the story's denouement --and is as witty as all of SBG's fics are. This is a veritable Peppermint Schnapps Hot Chocolate of a fic, warm, rich, sweet, delicious, tingly, and you'll find you reach the last bit much too fast, immediately requiring a refill. [ And there's a splendid podfic by @podfixx ! ]
..........................
*fic repost recruits, perhaps??? ❤️ @totallysilvergirl, @7-percent, @discordantwords, @helloliriels, @elwinglyre, @mydogwatson

TOP 10 TV SHOW FANDOMS ON AO3 BASED ON NUMBER OF FANWORKS (2009-2022)
To make these bar chart race, all series titles in the TV Show Category on November 29 (or the closest date to it) of every year were copy-pasted from Wayback Machine to Google Sheets, rearranged according to number of fanworks, and then inputted to Flourish to turn into a bar chart race.
Locked fanworks aren't included in the count because Wayback Machine can’t view those, only Ao3 users can.
Unspecified means that it doesn’t say in its title whether it is an “All Media Type” type tag or not. There’s a possibility that this tag only shows up in the TV Show category, or maybe in multiple categories, like in Movies and Comics too.
It doesn’t appear in the bar chart race, but for some reason Original Work was in the TV Show category in November 2021, and then removed by 2022.
The Avengers (Marvel) - All Media Types was actually in the top 10 from 2012-2014, and was removed from the TV show category from 2015 onwards so I’ve excluded it from the bar chart.
The Avengers - Ambiguous Fandom was also in the top 10 from 2012-2020, but then was reduced to 5% of its 2020 total fanworks in 2021 onwards because The Avengers (Marvel) - All Media Types and The Avengers (Marvel Movies) was removed from its subtag list. I’m excluding it from the bar chart since it means it shouldn’t have been in the top 10 in the first place.
Jossverse was in the top 10 from 2010-2014 (Top 2 in 2010 and 2011). In 2018, it was removed from the TV Show fandom list and works tagged with it show up in Buffy the Vampire Slayer (TV) instead so I’ve excluded it from the bar chart.
89% of the Sherlock Holmes & Related Fandoms fanworks in 2022 are tagged with Sherlock (TV).
Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) is a subtag of Marvel and Marvel is a metatag for all Marvel works of various media, including comics and movies. Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. (TV) is the only TV show that appears in the top 10 fandoms listed in Marvel and MCU’s fandom filter in 2022, and it’s only 5% of the fanworks in the Marvel tag. Half of the Marvel tags’s top 10 fandom filter list are movies, and there are also 2 All Media Types tags.
As for DCU, 6 of the top 10 fandoms listed in DCU’s fandom filter in 2022 are specifically TV shows: 13% of its fanworks are from Supergirl (TV 2015), 9% are from The Flash (TV 2014),  8% are from Arrow (TV 2012), 5% are from DC's Legends of Tomorrow (TV), 4% are from Smallville and 4% are from Gotham (TV).
As for Batman - All Media Types, none of the top 10 fandoms listed in its fandom filter in 2022 are specifically TV shows: 5 of the fandoms listed were comics fandoms. 2 were all media types and 1 was the Nolan movies.
Maybe it would have been better to do a bar chart with fandoms that only appear in a single category (In this case, the TV Show category.). Some of the fandoms that ranked have popular other media outside of TV Shows that boosted their rankings. It would take more effort to filter out, but let me know if you’re interested in seeing a bar chart race like this. If there’s enough interest, I might get motivated enough to work on it, haha.
Thanks for understanding and hopefully I didn’t mess up anywhere! 🙏

actually no, i'm still not over my platform being ripped away and the creative community i spent years painstakingly forming dissolving in the span of months. i'm not just angry, either; there's grief in the loss of a livelihood, instability in a foundation just disappearing. as an author whose readership was almost entirely on twitter (but whose readership was never so large that people would follow me elsewhere), i've considered giving up at least once a week since X.
everyone scattered to the wind and I'm trying to resettle here, on this site that used to be a home, but it's like someone broke inside and rearranged all the furniture while I was asleep. i'm having a really hard time building a new space for myself here. most of my mutuals haven't been active since 2015, i don't know how anything works anymore, and i'm having a hard time adjusting. if anyone has tips for essentially starting from scratch on this hellsite, i'm desperate to hear them.
also if you love radical queer fantasy, ttrpgs, anarchic publishing structures, or sherlock holmes, let's chat and be friends, maybe?

So lately I've been going back and rewatching a bunch of crime procedurals I watched back when they were first airing between 2005 and 2015, and my most recent foray into this is the CBS series Elementary, which I very much enjoyed when it was originally airing, but binging it now, I'm discovering/rediscovering things that I love about the series.
Foremost among them is how the show handles the character of Joan Watson. Having Watson be a woman in this iteration is already an interesting choice, but at no point does she feel like she's there just to be a potential love interest for Sherlock Holmes (or any of the characters, at least not as of early season 2 where I am in my rewatch at the time of this post). She's a fully fleshed-out character first, and her excitement at working with Holmes and then learning how to deduce like he does is very interesting. And she's good at it, if not as seasoned as Holmes, but the writers allow her to contribute to the cases, occasionally picking up on details (usually something medical with her background as a doctor) that lead to a new suspect or lead in the case.
And Sherlock supports her in her efforts. He actively considers her an apprentice of his methods and if he does something to upset her he will, usually, attempt to make amends for it in his own way (the most recent example is an episode where he solves a small robbery case she'd been asked to consult on by herself, one she was actually looking forward to taking a look at in order to test her abilities, and in an effort to make amends, he offers her a trunk containing the files of cases he hasn't been able to solve and encourages her to take a look at them when she wants to get in some extra practice).
I also like how, even though Sherlock knows he's almost always the smartest person in the room, he doesn't rub that fact in the faces of Watson or the detectives he works with most often. He doesn't talk down to them when he's explaining his reasoning and observations, but relays the information in as concise a way as he can, talking to them as equals and not inferiors.
Anyway, just some things I wanted to get off my chest. You may now return to your regularly scheduled scrolling
