it's second nature to love you, it's first to die | cold love - rainbow kitten surprise
sometimes i just think about how proud ACD would be of all of his fanfic authors yknow? Like, he wrote all his life without the freedom to express the truth of the story and he would be so happy to know that people still heard him, and that we can finally take Holmes and Watson into the light where they belong even if he couldn't/// it's got me tearing up shawty
LOL hahaha! Well, as far as I know, ACD didn’t like his character Sherlock Holmes (hence the famous “do whatever you want” quote about him), given the annoyance at having to bring the character back, but I don’t know much about ACD outside of what I read from other people’s meta and thoughts, LOL. But yes, given that I do think he intended on implying Holmes/Watson, I think today he’d be pleased people do love his creation and I don’t think he would be upset about Johnlock hahah. But we will never know. Can only hope and speculate :)
I missed a ton of recs from lovely stories I read at the tail end of 2020 - so here they are my friends! (some of these were recced in my top fics of 2020 but most I haven’t mentioned before)

Just a random thought...
In Season 5 of Sherlock,
The first scene will be of a sunny morning in London, busy streets, people moving in and out of Speedy's, Mrs. Hudson making her morning cuppa while feeding Rosie who is sitting on her high chair.
Then it'll be Sherlock who wakes up first, he walks out of his room in a sheet, yawning, moving towards the table to glance over his petri dish where he's growing a kind of mould. John follows Sherlock out of the room and reaches for the newspaper and settles down in his armchair.
That's it! I'll leave it here :)
