Johnlock in :

the case of Charles Augustus Malvetron

indeed , it was a date , it is intresting to note ACD's choice of words ( apart from the unrequired descriptions of physical touch ) when he said "appear to be two theater-goers" , this phrase might sound innocent from a modern perspective , but we shall always put things in their cultural and historical context

back in the 19th century England , homosexuals were oppressed and marginalized by the society and harshly judged by the victorians strict moral codes and rigid view on masculinity , they had to come up with their own dressing codes , their own code words, their own sense of dressing and other cultural markers that emerged

commun places they meet in private , ect which made it like a sort of underground subculture

their favorite places to meet are , theaters and musical halls , and turkish baths ( we'll talk about Sherlock's fondness for turkish baths with Watson another time )

-we record that our two love birds had many , many "theater-dates" so to speak ,

~here's an exemple from: "the adventure of the red circle"

~another exemple from: "The Adventure of the Retired Colourman"

~and another one , from: "The Adventure of the Red Headed League"

back to the case of charles augustus malvetron , i had to take this detour in order to point at ACD's precise choice of words , he never says anything without meaning it , for the sake of whats following

the sexual innuendo is strongly present in the last paragraph ^^

so see ya for the next subtext analysis :D

HELP STEPH!!

I’M STARTING TO DOUBT TJLC??!?! (is that even possible?? Shame on me my parents are starting to contaminate me with their heteronormativity)

Anyway,

I KNOW that you can put faith in me again and remind me that it’s there so idk could you pls pls, anything, something… I need some good proof of Johnlock that would even make the straightest most boring person ever believe in it.

<3

Hey Lovely!

OH GOSH, I'm probably the worst to restore faith since I have maintained some skepticism since S4 aired myself, HAHAH. A lot of people have left me because of it, sadly misunderstanding that my skepticism comes from other external factors rather than JUST the show. Because I do genuinely believe that it WAS supposed to be a Johnlock ending but then ~~THINGS~~ happened, lies were told, and shit was stirred behind the scenes. Just various happenings OUTSIDE of JUST the show made me skeptical, is all. If you're only looking at JUST the show, I can see how one remains hopeful (minus S4, but that's a personal opinion, LOL)

I do, though, have some posts made after S4 that I have either written or compiled here:

S4 Meta Masterpost (Aug. 3, 2018)

Ppl who have been in an abusive relationship shouldn’t watch bbc sherlock. The show is written by two admitted gaslighters. I realize now I only had the patience to watch this show and play “the game” of deciphering show bc I was used to being in a situation where someone else held all of the cards and dictated reality to me.

He’s been walking this route for many years now.

[thepoetthatwenttothelakes]

i think we can all agree Sherlock is suicidal. His response to Sholto’s “one should embrace it [death] when it comes” being “we would never do that to John, not in John’s wedding” shows Sherlock’s death wish.

Which means that he could have simply die at Barts back then, but he didn’t, because of John. He didn’t die because he couldn’t leave John believing he was a fraud, that Sherlock (and by extension, his relationship with John) was fake. So he fakes his death for two fucking years in the hope to return to John.

But when he does, when he finally returns to John, he’s irremediable broken, he’s mad, he’s hurt, and most importantly, he moved on (or so it seems). He gets married with Mary even after Sherlock’s return. He doesn’t move back to Baker St. What Sherlock learns is that keeping himself alive wasn’t all that worth it after all, because he lost John anyways.

So when Moriarty (Sherlock) says “Die already, why can’t you?” and he (almost) does, is Sherlock finally letting himself wish for death again.

John once stopped him wishing death. And now that he’s gone, Sherlock wishes death again.

He doesn’t die, of course, because one variable has changed and it’s that John is in danger. So he keeps himself alive yet again because of John.

the end :)

EVEN MORE OF AMY'S DAILY FIC RECS

A too long list for the avid BBC Sherlock fic reader

*Friday - oohmo

12k, 5/5, Johnlock, Rosamund Mary Watson, Parentlock

On a beautiful Friday morning, Sherlock takes Rosamund Watson to school. However, young Rosie has been keeping a secret from him and John. The secret is soon discovered by a phone call, which requires Sherlock and John to come to the rescue for their little girl.

*Take Me Dancing (Again) - aquileaofthelonelymountain

11k, 1/1, Johnlock, Rosamund Mary Watson, Parentlock, Angst, H/C

“Sherlock”, Greg began. The grin faded from the detective’s face from one moment to the next; he was at once aware that something was wrong. “I’m here because … I have to tell you something.” Sherlock turned to face Greg. His posture was bolt upright, his hands were balled into fists at his side. He looked like he expected to be punched, and Greg wondered how much he had already deduced from the little he had said. “There has been a robbery”, Greg began as gently as he could. “John was injured. He’s in hospital.”

*Sex Ed on the Fly - ShirleyCarton

2k, 1/1, Johnlock, Parentlock, Not inapropiate

When John’s five-year-old daughter walks in on them and asks them what they’re doing, John is mortified to the depth of his bones. Sherlock, however, calmly decides to answer her honestly – to John’s absolute astonishment. But within ten minutes, his lover has enlightened Chloe more than could be said about any sex ed he’d ever had, in a way that puts her mind at ease and gives her a basic but important understanding of what love is all about.

*A Waste of Breath - Chryse

Reread, 95k, 25/25, DubCon, Angst, Johnlock, Sebastian Moran, Hurt/Comfort, TW APPLY

John had always assumed Sherlock was uninterested, untouchable, married to his work. He was wrong on all counts. But when Sherlock embarks on a relationship, John worries that he is in over his head...and this time he might be right.

*Longing - belovedmuerto

3k, 1/1, Sherlock Holmes & John Watson, Pinning

Reread, 9k, 1/1, Abusive John, Unhealthy Relationship, ANGST, Consent Issues, Miscommunication

“I’m not gay,” John said into the darkness.    Sherlock rolled over, facing away from him. The skin of his cleft slid uncomfortably against itself as he moved, the lubricant becoming tacky as it began to dry. He re-adjusted the pillow under his head. “I know.” 

*I meant to say always - OnceSherlock

8k, 1/1, Johnlock, Fake Marriage, Rosamund Mary Watson, Fluff, First Kiss, Friends to Lovers, Parentlock

“It means that you can make a wish,” he said to Rosie. She looked at him with wide eyes. “And what can I wish for?” “Anything you want. And if you truly believe in it, it will come true.” “Then I know how to use my wish,” Rosie said, looking from John to Sherlock and back with a grin. Sherlock’s brows furrowed and for a moment John felt like he was missing something of importance. Rosie closed her eyes, her lips moving slightly as she uttered her wish. She opened them again as John leaned closer to her. “What did you wish for, love?” Rosie made sure that Sherlock was listening before whispering into John’s ear. “I wished for you and Papa to be married.”

*Spectral Evidence - earlgreytea68

Sherlock Holmes walks back into Dr. John Watson's life two years after his 'death' wearing a tuxedo and a smile and missing half of his left hand.

*Climbing into Chairs - paceprompting

10k, 6/6, Johnlock, Rosamund Mary Watson, Parentlock, PTSD, Domestic Fluff

When John returned to Baker Street, this time with his daughter, he didn't expect Sherlock to fall so easily into the role of co-parent.

2k, 1/1, Humor, Crack, Zombies, Mycroft Holmes, Sherlock Holmes, John Watson, Greg Lestrade, Epistolary

"In your household, you are a source of worry. You are Too Much To Handle. You are not actually on drugs (yet), merely somewhat sleepless, and as a result alternatively hyperactive and dazed. But one side effect of not being able to sleep is that the hours in a day will double. And these hours must be filled. Last night, you studied anatomy, and you thought briefly that you could be a surgeon. The human body, you thought, is marvelous-- all that fine tuned machinery, and yet that relative sturdiness, that resilience. You learned the bones of your hands and feet yesterday, and they were so beautifully assembled, scaphoid-lunate-pisiform--"

if John had reacted normally to the reichenbach fall, i would have been okay, but the fact that he was trying to get to Sherlock's body just to feel his pulse because he couldn't believe he was dead is devastating
