The Spring, Clad All in Gladness: I had the impression this was by someone who was new to Holmestice. So I had a look at a particular participant’s Hornblower fic, and I noticed the author had a liking for colons, and that they used em dashes but put a space fore and aft. This matches the punctuation in the Holmestice fic so I feel fairly confident saying this is by tgarnsl.
The Adventure of the Missing Moriarty: I was a little puzzled by another new participant. They’d signed up offering gen, and apparently stated they weren’t on AO3. But then nothing posted on DW seemed to match them as a creator. However, it now says in the list of participants they do have an AO3 account, which makes things a great deal simpler. Purely going by a process of elimination, I think this fic is by Robert / writemore.
Luck Or Something Like It: There is a participant who has done a lot of commenting and kudosing but not on this fic. And it reads like something they might like. Also, the tags are rather “chatty” which makes me think of this particular creator, and the notes have a similar tone to a Holmestice fic from the last round. I think this is by a_candle_for_sherlock.
The Adventure of the Vengeful Clockmaker: Re my earlier guess for the author of “The Winds of Change” - mightymads kindly pointed out to me that they were unlikely to be the creator. And indeed when I went back to look, they had been one of the very first to leave kudos on the fic. So, I don’t know who wrote that one… But I am reassigning mightymads to this fic. I thought the enthusiastic thanks to their beta and the tone of the anonymous creator replies sounded very like them.
over our spoken words the words unspoken: First a quotation from Rachel: But, having just caught up with it, I would say Hubble Bubble is write_out's work. That particular flavor of subtly angry S1 John is one she's been drawn to lately, as one can see from her WAdvent offering. Also, the title is the name of a '70s band, always a good clue for write_out!
Re my “Hubble Bubble” guess and write_out’s liking for “‘70s bands”, I would point out to young whippersnapper, rachelindeed, that though Echo and the Bunnymen are technically a ‘70s band, they came to prominence in the ‘80s and most people of my age would think of them that way. Calling them a ‘70s band just feels… odd. And there is no reason someone can’t be a fan of both, but Hubble Bubble and Echo and the Bunnymen are just not two bands you would automatically put in the same category. What I do think is more significant in write_out’s fic is that they quote lyrics from an Echo and the Bunnymen song. And in another fic they quote from a carol, Good King Wenceslas. So it doesn’t seem too far-fetched to think they might also quote from a poem… As the author does in this Holmestice fic. I think write_out is the author of “over our spoken words the words unspoken”.
