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 characters or relationships: Sherlock/John, or gen non-romantic relationships between any canon characters

I like working with one or more of the following categories: Angst; Post-Reichenbach; Alternate Universe; Romance; Hurt/Comfort; Friendship; Case Fic; First Time; Drug Addiction; Alternate Universe - Canon Divergence; Missing Scenes; Alternate First Meetings; Horror

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; 5) moderate to explicit graphic violence* or depictions of non-sexual mature themes

*with regards to violence – I'm willing to write violence if that's what the story calls for (particularly if it's case-related), but I'm not very interested in violence for its own sake or just for shock value

I am willing to create for the following squicks and/or kinks: Alcohol/drug abuse; horror; character death (not Sherlock, John, or Rosie). Case-related or non-explicit references to most squicky subjects is okay with me, but I'm probably not the right person to explore them in great detail.

I want to receive:

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 characters or relationships: Sherlock/John, or gen non-romantic relationships between other canon characters

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

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; horror; character death (not Sherlock, John, or Rosie); torture (if exploring canon-compliant past events)

Please include further details about what you’d like to receive: I love Sherlock and John a little sharp-edged, with all of their wit and insecurities and imperfections. I love to wallow in a bit of angst as long as there's a happy or hopeful resolution waiting for me at the end. To me, Sherlock and John are a team, two people who function at their best when they are together, even if they don't realize it. I love John saving Sherlock, and Sherlock saving John. I love huddling for warmth and only one bed. I love sports AUs and chef AUs. I love Sherlock and John meeting under entirely different circumstances, but somehow still clicking together. I love both of them rediscovering one another after a separation. I love cases and misunderstandings and emotionally-charged declarations of love. I love tropes of all kinds!

If you find yourself inclined to write a crossover fic, I've been into Hannibal lately and I think it would be interesting to see what might happen if Sherlock Holmes crossed paths with Hannibal Lecter. And Potterlock is always fun, too!

DO NOT WANT: I'd prefer not to read or write Sherlock or John doing anything unforgivable to one another or being permanently separated. Please no outright Mary hate (villainous or morally grey Mary is fine). No omegaverse, priest AUs, or teacher/student.

Special requests: I've been reading and writing a lot of post-S4 fics lately, and it would be nice to focus on a different part of canon that isn't quite so fraught.
