fluffbruary days 21, 22, 23, & 24: from the mixed-up files of mrs. h

[Chapter 11: Seeing More] and [Chapter 12: The Letter] :: From the Mixed-Up Files of Mrs. Francis E. Hudson

Fluffbruary proper escaped before I could post the last 5 chapters of my fluffy fic, and, look! so did March! & April! Oh, well, I'll just aim for finishing up in time for some mid-May-fluffery :-) The pace was one-chapter-every-two-days, so here are Chapters 11 and 12, belatedly carrying me from Fluffbruary 21st through the 24th. With the arrival of the weekend, John and Sherlock contemplate the dilemmas of dirty laundry, lack of homesickness, snakebite remedies, the minimum and the maximum for hot dog consumption over the course of an afternoon, and the realization that, one way or another, their one-week disappearing act is rapidly moving toward its final curtain. On Monday they receive a message that lands them directly at a crossroads that only an angel can help them resolve.

A continuation of my contribution to @fluffbruary 2023, through the sherlockization of E.L. Konigsburg's children's literature classic, From the Mixed-Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler.

Fluffbruary Prompts: Day 21 -- marathon; young; journal || Day 22: bridge; throw; dawn || yup, I used all three for each of the days! :-) || Day 23: Bonus Word, Lick || Day 24: Art [prompt list]

A DELICIOUS FLUFFBRUARY COMING HOME AGAIN OH FRABJOUS DAY

fluffbruarying 2023: from the mixed-up files of mrs. francis e. hudson

[Chapter 1] After: Mrs. Hudson [ao3] :: From the Mixed-Up Files of Mrs. Francis E. Hudson . . . in which I presumptously hijack a classic of children's literature and pastiche it into an urban playground for Sherlock Holmes and John Watson, aged ten and three-quarters and eleven and one-third, respectively.

❤️ All I can offer in my defense is that love (of both sources) makes one do foolish (fluffy?) things ❤️

xoxoxo to the @fluffbruary honor guard for providing guidance and infectious enthusiasm in spreading fandom fluff to one and all: [prompt list]

Ch 1 made me fall wildly in love with Mrs Hudson. MADLY.

From Here to There and Back Again: a Fluffbruary love letter to my favorite characters and to my favorite fandom

Thanks so much to the @fluffbruary elves who put together the challenge and prompted fic lovers to fluff away 🐱 -- I'm a newbie at ficcing and managed to actually find my way through 28 chapters of making it up as I went along ("it" being From Here to There and Back Again ) -- which was more than a little surreal. I started by playing around with making Sherlock and John's first encounter come about because Mike Stamford and Mrs. Hudson scheme to have John flat-and-cat-sit, and for the two stubborn gits to meet that way. So it's a John-and-Sherlock-fall-for-each-other tale 💖, but it is also a love letter 💌 from me to the fandom: to all the people who have created such marvelous fan fic and fan art and meta that they've gifted 🎁 to the world, and to all of those who, by reading and commenting, help bring these things to life and to share them far and wide through their enthusiasm and support. That there were readers who materialized (!!!) and commenters who were so full of good cheer (!!!) made writing this first fic not as terrifying 😰 as I had feared. Cheers 🥂to all my fellow sherlockians!
