Summer 2025 Guessing Post!

[holmesticemods]

Thank you so much for another wonderful round of Holmestice! The mods want to say THANK YOU to all the creators who joined us this round. Being in this community with you is a joy and an honour.

Reveals and the Master List go up on June 20 (Baker Island time). Until then, please enjoy and comment on all the lovely fanworks. (If you haven't thanked your creator for your own gift yet, please do!) Creators, please do NOT respond to Dreamwidth comments with your name attached or post your works elsewhere on the Internet until reveals go up in the community. You may of course reply to comments on AO3, which preserves your anonymity.

Meanwhile, stay tuned: treats are coming up! We have a bumper crop this round! For anyone thinking of making a treat, we will accept treats until reveals, so if there's a prompt that inspires you, please have at it! Just use the regular submission guidelines and send your headers to holmesticemods@gmail.com.

If you'd like to guess who created what in this round, here's a list of all the contributors for the main gifts. (You'll have to put in some extra work to guess the treat-makers!) Go ahead and take a guess! It's all in good fun.

Re: Part 3: Fic

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah - plus, we wouldn't get the "two gifts" scenario if they were both by the same person. One would be posted as a treat.

I've thought about it a little more. I initially rejected edosianorchids901 as an option because that author so rarely writes romantic H/W, but after further review, A Secret Thought is actually in approximately the same style as Until the Sunlight Hits (written earlier this year for kingstoken). Also, while I don't know who most of the pinch-hitters are in this exchange, I know edosianorchids901 wrote me a lovely fic (Destiny) as a pinch-hit in Unsent Letters last year. I'm switching my guess to edosianorchids901.
