holmestice | The Game is On!

Holmestice, I just can't quit you. Thanks again for hosting a new round, mods!

Name:

write_out here, thetimemoves(WriteOut) on AO3
Contact email: thetimemoves(at)gmail

I will create:

A fanwork of the following type(s): fic

In one or more of the following parts of fandom: Sherlock BBC

For one or more of the following relationships: For romance: Sherlock/John. For non-romantic relationships/friendships: anyone in canon, with the caveat that I'm probably not your go-to for a Moriarty/Irene/Mycroft POV.

I like working with one or more of the following categories: Fluff, Angst (with a happy ending); Post-Reichenbach; Romance; Hurt/Comfort; Friendship; Humor; Case Fic (more as a side plot and not the main focus); First Time; Established Relationship; Missing Scenes

With any of the following ratings: 1) suitable for general audiences; 2) non-explicit sexual content; 4) mild to moderate violence or depictions of non-sexual mature themes

I am willing to create for the following squicks and/or kinks: Alcohol/drug abuse; character death (not Sherlock, John, or Rosie Watson); does S4 count as a squick for some? I'm willing to write something S4-related, canon-based or canon-divergent.

I want to receive:

A fanwork of the following type(s): art, fic, vids, podfic

In one or more of the following parts of fandom: Sherlock BBC for all, any 'verse for podfic

For one or more of the following relationships: For romance: Sherlock/John. For non-romantic relationships/friendships: anyone in canon

I like stuff in the following categories: Fluff; Angst (with a happy ending); Post-Reichenbach; Alternate Universe; Romance; Hurt/Comfort; Crossover; Friendship; Humor; Case Fic; First Time; Alternate Universe - Canon Divergence; Established Relationship; Missing Scenes

With any of the following ratings: 1) suitable for general audiences; 2) non-explicit sexual content; 3) explicit sexual content; 4) mild to moderate violence or depictions of non-sexual mature themes; 5) moderate to explicit graphic violence or depictions of non-sexual mature themes

I wouldn’t mind any of the following squicks and/or kinks: Alcohol/drug abuse; character death (not Sherlock, John, or Rosie Watson).

Please include further details about what you’d like to receive: I'm all about Sherlock Holmes and John Watson, so I'd be happy with a fic centered on the two of them, whether it be romantic or platonic. If romantic, I'd like a happy or at least hopeful ending; I'd prefer not to see them paired off with anyone else unless their own relationship prevails in the end. As for AUs, kidlock, parentlock, retirementlock...I'm in favor. If there's a trope out there, I probably love it. I'm good with anything S4-related too, whether you want to follow or diverge from canon.

I'm a sucker for fics that delve into Sherlock and Mycroft's relationship. Anything featuring Sherlock, Mycroft, and John working together (or not so much) would be great. If you'd rather focus on minor characters, I'd be happy with that too. I'm keen on backstories, especially first meetings. Sally Donovan and Greg Lestrade, Mike Stamford and Sherlock, Molly Hooper and the man on the slab in ASiP. Why did Anderson lead a Sherlock fan club and how did he get it started? How did Anthea become Keeper of The Coat during the Hiatus and where did she stash it? When Sherlock told Stamford he must be a difficult man to find a flatmate for, who were the pre-John prospects?

Character studies of Sherlock and John would be more than welcomed. I love both of these deeply flawed men and love reading different interpretations of how they come to be who they are.

For art: I'd love anything featuring the detectives at Scotland Yard. Baker Street domesticity would be lovely as well, especially if it involves Sherlock and John cuddling.

For vids: I'd love something Scotland Yard-related or one that focuses on the Holmes brothers. I'm more than a-okay with a Johnlock vid too!

For podfic: AfroGeekGoddess's Beneath the Stains (383w) is one of my most favorite ficlets and I think it would be stunning read aloud. Another story I'd love to listen to is Cygnet (1033w) by what_alchemy. Those are just suggestions from my bookmarks; I'd love any of my bookmarks to be podficced. I'd also be happy with any previous Holmestice story being podficced too- no matter the 'verse.

Special requests: As much as I love the smut (and hooo boy, I do), I'm not the person to write it for this particular round.
