I wouldn't mind any of the following squicks and/or kinks: dubcon; bdsm; alcohol/drug abuse; suicide; character death
Please include further details about what you'd like to receive:
Plot or PWP, it's all good. I love banter, deductions, competence and competitive genius, enemies forced to (or choosing to) work together, being trapped together or forced to rely on each other, enemies unexpectedly saving/protecting each other, that almost telepathic "everything I have to say has already crossed your mind" mutual understanding between Holmes and Moriarty. Enemies to lovers is one of my all-time favourite tropes. Or, where applicable, averting Reichenbach - what would it take for Holmes & Moriarty to achieve a different outcome, even if it's just stopping short of inevitable mutual destruction?
Sherlock in particular: To me it's clear Moriarty never intended to survive the showdown in TRF; he only meant for Sherlock to die with him. What would it take to avert Moriarty's suicide, or for him to put his endgame on hold? I also like the idea of Moriarty surviving his suicide attempt and waking up from having been in a coma for a while. I also love mind palace Moriarty and the way he's both a threatening figure and actually helpful in Sherlock's mind (HLV: it's Moriarty who spurs him into clawing his way back to life; TAB: it's Moriarty who reminds him he's trapped in his mind palace). For porn, BDSM with Sherlock and Moriarty competitively domming each other would be neat.
For Eurus, I like the instant connection she had with Moriarty and would love more of that, whether pre-TRF or post-s4. Helping each other out? Developing a friendship? Dealing with the fallout from their joint and separate plans? Anything.
ACD in particular: What if they did meet before things got to the point of inevitable destruction? FINA and VALL contradict each other on the pre-Reichenbach timeline anyway. And if you've read Kurland's version of them working together, I'd enjoy a team-up along those lines with a characterisation more in line with ACD (i.e. a less defanged Moriarty and a less bumbling stickler-for-the-rules Holmes).
A Study in Emerald in particular: I love the role reversal, and the fact that this is one of the very few versions where Moriarty isn't unambiguously a villain. I'd love to see that explored. But Moriarty is still Moriarty, and I can't imagine he has any actual loyalty toward the Queen. I'd love to see him playing both sides, perhaps working with Holmes on occasion even as he tries to capture him on others. I also love the worldbuilding and would adore anything that expands on it.
Exit Sherlock Holmes in particular: I'd love to see the backstory and the world Holmes and Moriarty come from complicated a bit. What really made Moriarty defy his expected role? Was Holmes really content to obediently play the pre-determined role society assigned him? Were they lovers as well as rivals? Is reconciliation (at any point in their timeline) possible? An alternate ending would be great, too.
Please no: a/b/o, darkfic, pining, fluff, 2nd person, 1st person (unless it's ACD-style Watson or Holmes POV, or Moran for Study in Emerald), character bashing, Holmes/Watson of any kind (canon-level friendship is great, though)
Sherlock in particular: please no "Moriarty faked his death" (a failed suicide attempt is fine) or "Eurus manipulated Moriarty into killing himself"
ACD in particular: please no teacher/student
Exit Sherlock Holmes in particular: please no literal "defective clones"
Special requests: none, thank you!
