I want to receive:A fanwork of the following type(s): fic.
In one or more of the following parts of fandom: Books: Canon; Mary Russell Series; The Doctor's Case; A Study in Emerald, Bonnie Macbird books.
TV/Film: Granada TV Show; Ritchie Films; Sherlock BBC; Elementary; BBC The Hound of the Baskervilles (2002); Mr Holmes; The Case of the Silk Stocking.
For one or more of the following characters or relationships:Holmes/Anyone, Watson/Anyone, everybody/nobody, really. The story is more important to me than the pairing, if it works. However, in adaptation-specific terms, I am interested in a) making both past Holmes/Watson and
present Holmes/Russell work in the Mary Russell canon, and in the interaction between past Holmes/Irene Adler and the Holmes/Watson relationship in any canon.
I like stuff in the following categories:Angst; Post-Reichenbach;Â Â Alternate Universe;Â Â Hurt/Comfort;Â Â Established Relationship; Crossover; Friendship; Case Fic; First Time; Drug Addiction; Alternate Universe - Canon Divergence; Drug Addiction; Mental Health Issues.

I wouldn’t mind any of the following squicks and/or kinks:I'm ok with any of these: dubcon; non-con/rape; bdsm; bloodplay; torture; domestic abuse; alcohol/drug abuse; self-harm; suicide; character death; child abuse; etc.
Please include further details about what you’d like to receive: Laurie R. King: I wrote what I
think is the only Lantern's Dance fic on AO3 so far. I'd love to see more fic of that book because, c'mon -- it's hard enough to wrestle with one 'long-lost' in a series, let alone two, and IMO you'd have to be borderline evil to let your family believe that you'd [redacted for spoiler reasons] for like fifty years. My headcanon is that Mycroft knew far before his brother did.
Other stuff I like in the Laurie R. King 'verse: Machiavellian Mycroft and Holmes being conflicted with that, an ambiguous Mycroft who did the best he could having to semi-raise his younger brother, and a Mary Russell who's just a step or two down on the Mary Sue scale. In terms of the Holmes from this series, we've been shown an older, wiser Holmes who has tempered his earlier (perhaps) self-destructiveness with a studied self-control, and so of course I want to look a little deeper into that, perhaps see a Holmes who is still burdened by drug use or mental illness. I'm also happy to delve into the minor characters from this series, including Holmes long-lost (haha) son Damian and his wife Aileen--a very intriguing character.
Canon: I'm interested in anything from the canon, really, and the same goes with the Granada show. I love when Holmes/Watson is told from a very Victorian narrative voice and just
works.
Mr Holmes: This movie is really screaming out for Holmes/Watson, perhaps with period-specific attitudes sprinkled in there.
2002 BBC HOUN/The Case of the Silk Stocking: I'm surprised there isn't more fic for both of these, or even for both at once: they share a Watson, and the Holmes is just a little bit more modern compared to the canon--in a similar way to the Russell books, actually...
Special requests: I am happy to do elaborate world-building and AUs, as well as angst, major character death and/or more serious fics, but any fluff/happier fic I do in a Holmes fandom will probably be tinged with sadness, sorry.
