The Holly and the Ivy, 24: To hear the

angels sing. December Drabbles

Ch. 24: To Hear the Angels Sing. Prompt courtesy of my own inner adolescent male

From the outset, I said that soldier fellow would either be the making of my brother, or make him worse than ever.

I never predicted it would be both.

Sherlock is steadier now, stronger, less self-destructive, which makes my life calmer.

But he also appears to be discovering that adolescent male humour which his solitude made him skip the first time round.

When I asked John if he liked Sherlock’s carols, which Mummy used to call angelic, the wretch interjected, “Oh, I didn’t wait for Christmas to make John hear the angels sing!”

I winced, and John blushed and guffawed.

In December I’ll be posting Johnlock drabbles daily, here and on AO3 (The Holly and the Ivy: December Drabbles) Mine are comfort snacks, not a proper storyline, just practicing here!

Nudge me if you want to be added or untagged. I'm pretty random about tagging, but will remove your name right away if you tell me to.

And thanks for reblogging!

Christmas ficlet ... with  gorgeous art by Dangeles

I commissioned a painting from the amazing @dangeles for my Christmas ficlet Something red, something green, something sparkly (1100 words) and I’m over the MOON!

I mean honestly, look at that sly cheeky grin, that languid available pose. If that doesn’t whisper “Santa Baby” I don’t know what does. Thank you, Dangeles! Commissions are open, right?

AND THERE’S A PODFIC! [Podfic] Something red, something green, something sparkly by Podfixx

If There Were Any Time For A Miracle - Season’s Greetings from the Holmes Family Christmas. There’s snow and mistletoe, misunderstandings and music.

Tomorrow - At Baker Street Mrs Hudson has her work cut out for her - making idiots admit to being in love. The only problem is that one of them is going back to his dreadful wife tomorrow. Luckily Hudders knows a trick or two.

A Little Christmas Spirit - In which a Christmas cocktail must be decided upon which leads to unforeseen circumstances.

This Time - Not exactly jolly, but not hopeless. Sherlock is breaking his unspoken rules by meeting up with John but somehow he cannot stay away.

A Smart Arse Consulting Detective Is For Life, Not Just For Christmas  - This is not the Christmas Eve John had planned but it turns out for the best despite being locked in a freezing farm building for the night.

Please watch out for the ratings and read the tags and warnings.

Wishing you all a peaceful and safe season.

Eye Fucking 101 with Professor S. Holmes and Dr. J. Watson

How did I never see this adorable blog until now?

Go visit and behold the wonderful crochet johnlockery!

Sherlock stares at the page in front of him. The clean, cool white of the paper. The thin, crisp blue lines. The shallow indentations that echo the writing on the previous page. The tiny splotch of ink where it had bled through from his notes on yesterday’s case. The words Christmas list scrawled in the spidery, black strokes of his own hand.

John has requested a list, so Sherlock is determined to give him one. What he’s going to put on that list, however, is a mystery he’s not sure even he can solve. When John had first asked what he wanted for Christmas, Sherlock had merely shrugged because the lie was preferable to the truth. He knows exactly what he wants, but he also knows that he can’t have it. And now somehow he is expected to come up with not just one gift idea but a multitude of them, an entire army of lies, a giant swarm of little half-truths and kind-ofs and not-quites that buzz around the edges of the things he really wants.

Which are:

John’s hand in his, their palms warm against each other, their fingers twined together until they can’t tell whose are whose, as they run through the streets of London chasing murderers and thieves, chasing terror and thrills, chasing adventure, chasing fun, chasing life.

John’s scent permanently woven into the very fabric of their flat, soaked into the wallpaper and the sofa and the towels and sheets, seeped into every soft surface until John’s presence in their home is as indelible as ink so that ages and ages hence, residents of this flat will know that John Watson was once a part of Sherlock Holmes’ life.

John’s lips, against his own as they kiss each other breathless, along his jaw right after he shaves, down his neck when their adrenaline is high. Telling him he’s clever at a crime scene, crying out in pleasure in his bed, whispering sweet words in the darkness. John’s strong arms wrapped around him as they sleep. John’s hair tickling his nose when he wakes in the morning. John’s feet stepping on his toes as they dance in the sitting room. John’s knees astride his hips. John’s eyes only on him. John’s chest. John’s belly. John’s thighs and back and ears and throat.

John’s smiles. His laughter. His joy. His sorrow. His anger. His fear. His respect. His trust. His friendship. His love.

John.

Sherlock looks down, surprised to find that he’s actually written this list out. It’s there on paper for the world to see, black swirls of ink revealing the innermost desire of Sherlock’s heart, unveiling the carefully-kept secret that he really does have one after all. He puts down his pen and scrubs his hands through his hair in frustration. John is all he wants, and no amount of new books or socks or scarves or test tubes will ever make up for the fact that Sherlock can’t have him, can’t even ask.

So he tears out the page and crumples it up, a fresh page staring back at him as he tries to come up with something else. John wants a list, so Sherlock is going to give him one. Even if he can’t have John for himself, he can at least do things that make John happy. Picking up the pen again, he touches it to the page, unsure of what to write, but determined to make his hand move until it spells out something acceptable. Thinking and thinking and thinking, he eventually manages to bend his fingers to his will, making a short list of things he can pretend to enjoy, things he’ll like not even half as much as what he really wants but that will make John happy to give him.

It will have to do.

His second list complete, he crosses the room and throws the first one in the bin. He never sees where it lands, never knows that it comes to rest atop another ball of crinkled paper, a crumpled page covered in John’s untidy scrawl, a discarded list of his own that simply says:

You

Nature and Nurture by earlgreytea68 / @earlgreytea68

(M, 203k words, 57 chapters. Tags: Babylock, Parentlock, Kidlock, cloning)

The British Government accidentally clones Sherlock Holmes. Which brings a baby to 221B Baker Street.

--

There are still too many fandom classics that I haven't read despite reading johnlock fics on any given day for years now. N&N was one of them and I'm so glad I finally read it. I enjoy parentlock fics in general but the clone baby idea made this story even better. Just like Sherlock and John, I fell in love with Oliver instantly. I loved how expressive Ollie was even when he couldn't speak and reading his interactions with his fathers was delightful. I already miss this little lovely family. Also, I loved how Sherlock and John were basically in a relationship without realising it from the start (or rather without John realising it) (and I just love this trope because it's just so... accurate) and then acknowledged their feelings when Oliver came into their lives, the part where John asks "Are we dating now?" and Sherlock answers "How could you ask if we're dating? We're married." was one of my favourites. The characterisation in this fic is perfect and I absolutely adored the dialogues. I was smiling during most of the fic but I have to admit that I couldn't stop my tears reading the last chapters. I could never imagine getting emotional over 'Baa Baa Black Sheep' was possible before reading this fic but here we are now. For the last thing I want to say that the name of the fic fits perfectly with the story.

--

Snippet from chapter 6:

John sat with his blog open and stared at it.

“You’ve got nothing to say,” Sherlock remarked, from where he was sitting on the floor teaching Oliver chemical equations with the visual aids of the big, bright blocks Mrs. Hudson had bought for the baby.

“Well, I don’t want to talk about Oliver. I don’t want to make him…blog fodder.”

“Why don’t you put on your blog that he has no idea the sun goes ‘round the moon?”

“Sherlock, he doesn’t know what the sun and moon are.”

“You could put that on your blog. ‘Oliver is clever when it comes to rolling over but he is spectacularly ignorant about some things, like what the sun and the moon are.’”

“Are you ever going to get over that?” John asked.

“No,” Sherlock responded, simply, and then, “Oliver, take that blue block out of your mouth, we need it to represent carbon.”

OMG LOOK AT THIS I LOVE THIS THANK YOU!!!!!! <3 <3 <3

Without Nature and Nurture by @earlgreytea68​ there would never have been And Like The Cycle of the Year We Begin Again.  This epic-length Johnlock story with all its fluff and romance and slow burn pining and finally true love between Sherlock and John was definitely one of the motivations to write the crazily long story I wrote.  

If you’ve ever seen Sherlock even once, or have even the smallest idea about Sherlock, then go read this story.  I know some people don’t like kids in stories, but believe me that reading about Sherlock and John raising a Sherlock clone and then oops discovering that they’re kindof marriedwithout even doing the dating thing -- it’s perfect.  Totally worth the read.  I actually called in sick to finish it after I started. 

These are such amazingly kind words, thank you so much for them.

I'm kind of delighted I pushed work away :)

If you’ve been following on my Twitter, I just bought a house (and a lot of its problems) and I’ve been spending the last two months moving and downsizing. I had thrown out a lot of stuff that’s accumulated in 9 years and one of the things I threw out is the original Ask Me About My Ship silk screen that I hand made and used to print the first 35 Johnlock shirts I created. At the time i thought it was just a fun shirt for a small group of friends. Now 5 years later, I have an entire t-shirt line with 15 ships. But I never used this screen after the initial batch and honestly it wasn’t a well made screen. So after photographing it, I threw it into the dumpster. Then I posted about it on Twitter. That’s when I realized that so many people would have loved a chance at owning what they’re calling “fandom history.” So I decided to try to rescue it. On Monday, when the building office reopened, I went to talk to maintenance and they opened the dumpster for me. I brought a ladder and a wood stick and together the janitor and myself sifted through an ENTIRE nasty, gross, smelly, drippy dumpster of trash. It was at the bottom. When I saw it after nearly giving up, I climbed in and retrieved it. I thanked the janitor with a gift bag full of chocolates. And now I have this thing again. My ship is literally trash. . . . #askmeaboutmyship #art #silkscreen #fandom #johnlock https://www.instagram.com/p/B7RhN1XF-3Y/?igshid=uu075pzgu52l

MY SHIP IS LITERALLY TRASH

Bound: Nature and Nurture by @earlgreytea68

What an utterly fantastic fic! I'm happy with how the bind came out, but I have a few things I'd change if I did it again:

Also to note about this bind:

But all in all, I'm happy with it. It's just for me, after all, so it's okay if it's not perfect. That said, if I do this one again, I'd make a different cover that's more consistent with the chapter headers. (Like, if the author wants a copy?)

Bookcloth: Allure Bookcloth Indigo Body Text: Corundum Text Light Chapter Headings: MrKeningbeck Pro Drop Caps: FLOWER Inside title: FLOWER and MrKeningbeck Pro and Filson Pro Cover: Filson Pro All icons from The Noun Project

This came out amazing!!!! I love especially the chapter design scrollwork!

Oenology

Drunk discussion, a Mitch Hedberg joke, and the Science of Seduction.

When Sherlock solves the case of the winery, the owner, as promised, sends them a case of very nice wine. Naturally, they have to open a bottle and try it. And another to compare. And a third to consolidate their findings.

“Is this cooking wine?” John takes another swallow and squints into his glass. “For dinner I was going to make that thing.”

Sherlock opens his eyes. “The thing with the peas?”

“No. It has chicken and… you know… things. Parsnips. Or carrots. Vegetable things. And you cook it in wine.”

“Red or white?”

“I dunno. White, I guess. Isn’t chicken white?”

“This is pink,” says Sherlock, clinking his glass against John’s. “Cheers. I don’t gen-er-ally like rosé, but this is… quite de-lect-able.” He’s pronouncing words carefully, he notices, because his lips are not fully cooperating. Speech is such a complicated thing.

“Green,” says John. “Those green grapes. Why isn’t there green wine?”

Ado-ra-ble 🥰🍷

Adro- babble. Adobr-ador-rable. Adorable. There, like this. 🥴🤭

God, I love it when they are drunk. 🥰

The Holly and the Ivy, 14: Happy Tonight

December Drabbles

14 Dec.: Happy tonight. today's prompt: a beautiful sight

Back at Baker Street, Sherlock’s melancholy has disappeared. Maybe the Holmes family dynamic, which at its most relaxed is like a high-stakes high-speed quiz show, was enough to restore his fizz.

Whatever it was, John’s glad of the magic. He knows that looking back at sad times in happy ones is as bad as the reverse. And he wants Sherlock in the here and now, where he can spoil him.

And be spoiled, if he’s honest. Sherlock’s sprawled out boneless in their bed, a beautiful sight, but he’s not fooling John.

Sherlock’s planning something, and it’s going to be memorable.

This is the best. If you haven’t seen it yet run HERE and watch.

somachiou 's illustration for The Heart In The Whole by @verity-burns [original description below, neither art nor fic are mine]

Well, finally, I've finished an illustration for "The heart in the whole".(c) verityburns [link]

I think that is a key scene. In Chapter 7,[link] John and Sherlock laid in the bed, a 'Great Wall of Cushions' divided the bed right down the middle.

It is so sad when John said "I'm afraid that ship has sailed," (I'm dying.)

So I did a little change: John and Sherlock were face to face, with their hands on the cushions. I think if they thought the other had been asleep, perhaps they might raise their hands across the cushions to feel each other and pray dreams come true.

The Holly and the Ivy, 12: Sleigh Ride, 2

December Drabbles

12 Dec.: Sleigh ride, 2. prompt: winter wonderland

I’ve seen John in a state of wonderment before, of course.

That first night in the cab when I explained what I’d deduced, how I deduced it.

The night I came back after leaving him so brutally, in such grief, for so long.

Our first night together and it was transcendent, that joining, we disappeared into each other.

But last night—when I took him for a ride in my parents’ old sleigh, with faithful old Bess—I saw the wonderment of the child John, whom I never knew.

Mummy must’ve known I would, to have insisted so. Bless her.
