CHARLES AUGUSTUS MILVERTON part 4 - death of a blackmailer

(part 1) (part 2) (part 3)

content warnings for: guns, blood, death. which you are *probably* expecting if you know how this story goes in canon, although this version is...not exactly how Watson told it to the Strand.

(This is part of the Watsons sketchbook series)

#hot watson gospel truth (@blaetter)

I always find it hilarious when more recent adaptations of Sherlock Holmes makes Holmes the dreamy heartthrob/attractive one (not that he’s not a total catch) because my dudes, Watson is right there. He is literally like a Victorian wet dream, he is everything that classic Victorian period would find appealing- adventurous, fought for his country, learned, has groomed facial hair (legit that was like the equivalent of being 6’ tall today), polite. He’s got just enough “melancholy” (depression) and rakishness (gambling) to still be a gentleman but like a bad boy gentleman. A real Romantic (both romance how we think of it today and like Romanticism) archetype. If anyone is the heartthrob here, it is Watson.

the most fucked up fictional universe is all those mouse movies where mice have a secret society underneath human society where they’re fighting mouse versions of the same wars and have the same religious oppression and each have a human version of themselves

I’m Sherlock Holmes and this is my friend, colleague, personal physician, roommate, fishing buddy, loving husband of 15 years, amateur sexologist, boxing referee, mortgage co-signer, partner in crime, partner in solving crime, enforcer, bodyguard, pallbearer, bedwarmer and co-parent to our dog, Dr. Watson.

#same with irene adler but in reverse @holmesoverture

Acd watson: [spends his evenings happily scribbling about his adventures with his best friend. Gives up stable job to be Professional Boy Best Friend and write for a living. Constantly says taking care and helping Holmes is a privilege for him. Actually likes listening to him go onto random adhd rambles. Publishes about his love for him for all of London to find out.]

Male white writers: idk :/// just seems like the most regular every day white het man to me.

my favorite part about elementary is when sherlock starts to get out of control and joan just throws her hands up and just yells, “that’s it, go to the car!” or gives him money to the vending machine. and then you expect him to just brush it off and keep yelling, but then the scene cuts to him sulking by the car moodily or munching on a bag of cookies in the hallway dejectedly.

My take on the Sherlock Holmes books

#basically canon #it is both or none #queue

[teaformrholmes]

The Unpublished Cases

If you are ever looking for plot ideas… take a look at the list of cases mentioned in Arthur Conan Doyle’s stories which are mentioned but not explained. I have italicised the cases that make a reappearance in some form or another in BBC Sherlock.

The Abernetty family (depth which the parsley had sunk into the butter)

The mortal terror of old Abrahams

The singular affair of the aluminum crutch

The Amateur Mendicant Society

The ancient British barrow (the Addleton tragedy)

The tragedy of the Atkinson brothers at Trincomalee

The colossal schemes of Baron Maupertuis (Netherland-Sumatra Company)

Bert Stevens, the mild-mannered murderer

The Bishopgate jewel case

Blackmailing one of the most revered names in England

The bogus laundry affair

The Camberwell poisoning case (Holmes winding a dead man’s watch)

The sudden death of Cardinal Tosca

Colonel Warburton’s madness

The Conk-Singleton forgery case

The two Coptic Patriarchs

Saving of Count Von und Zu Grafenstein

The cutter Alicia (never emerged from a small patch of mist)

The Darlington substitution scandal

The dramatic introduction of Dr. Moore Agar

The Dundas separation case (hurling false teeth at wife)

The Dutch steamship Friesland

The papers of Ex-President Murillo

The French Government matter of supreme importance

The giant rat of Sumatra (Matilda Briggs)

The Grice Patersons in the island of Uffa

The Grosvenor Square furniture van

Huret, the Boulevard assassin

The madness of Isadora Persano (remarkable worm unknown to science)

The disappearance of Mr. James Phillimore (umbrella)

The peculiar persecution of John Vincent Harden

The King of Scandinavia (“My last client of the sort was a king.”)

The loss of the British bark Sophy Anderson

The Manor House case (Adams)

The woman at Margate with no powder on her nose

Merridew of abominable memory

The unfortunate Mme. Montpensier

Morgan the poisoner

The most repellent man of my acquaintance is a philanthropist

The most winning woman (poisoned three little children)

The Nonpareil Club card scandal (Colonel Upwood)

The Paradol Chamber

The politician, the lighthouse, and the trained cormorant

The repulsive story of the red leech (death of Crosby the banker)

The reigning family of Holland

Ricoletti of the club foot and his abominable wife

The old Russian woman

The Second Stain and Monsieur Dubuque

Services to the Crown for which Holmes refused a knighthood

The Smith-Mortimer succession case

The Sultan of Turkey

The Tankerville Club scandal

The Tired Captain

The Trepoff murder in Odessa

Vamberry, the wine merchant

Vanderbilt and the Yeggman

The Vatican cameos

Venomous lizard or gila

Vigor, the Hammersmith wonder

Vittoria, the circus belle

Wilson, the notorious canary-trainer

I have used several of these in my own stories, including Wilson, the notorious canary-trainer and the Bishopsgate Jewellery case.  Case fic lies at the heart of every Sherlock Holmes story, so you might want to think about how to work these ACD stories into your own. 

#canon holmes #acd canon

[teaformrholmes]

Sometimes I remember a ACD holmes x watson fanfic where they get stay inside a molly house/gay bar while waiting to catch a blackmailer. And a big handsome guy comes up to flirt with john but is forgotten about because holmes puts his arm anround watson and says he's "my partner"

They do catch the black mail thing and go back to being all fluffy and stuff

I can't find it anymore where is it???☹☹

#signal boost #sherlock holmes fandom #i (oldshrewsburyian) am sure i have also read this but am failing to find it on ao3 at the moment

[teaformrholmes]

Sherlock Holmes to Watson, taken out of context: "I can READ YOUR MIND because I'm in RAPPORT with you, I LOOK YOU IN THE EYES and I know what you're thinking, do you want me to prove it to you?"

Not out of context, in fact

(From The Adventure of the Cardboard Box, January 1893 issue of The Strand)
