gyzym: (BBC Sherlock eyes)
gyzym ([personal profile] gyzym) wrote2011-04-08 08:26 pm

it took me ten minutes to figure out what i'd saved this sherlock icon as

Here's some shit in no particular order:

1) EEEEEE [livejournal.com profile] snowdarkred gifted me a pair of AWESOME HEADPHONES FOR MY PROFILE PAGE, THANK YOU BB, I LOVE THEM ♥ ♥ ♥!!!!

2) [livejournal.com profile] kissemdanno is open!! Guess where my insomnia drabbles are going to be for the next two weeks. KISSES, EVERYONE, WRITE THEM, OH MY GOD. If you need some inspiration, feel free to check out this sneak peak for Monday's H50, because JESUS CHRIST OH MY FUCKING GOD.

3) I'm working on a thing. I know there hasn't been as much fic as usual, but oh, man, believe me when I tell you, I am working on a thing. It'll be up...when it's done! But if the fic is a little bit sparse for the next week or two, that is why. I don't mean little ficlets, of course, I spit those out without really meaning to because I have a sickness, but the like, real full-length stuff. IT'S COMING, I SWEAR. I'M WORKING ON IT.

4) Speaking of fic, I wrote a Sherlock ficlet on tumblr for [livejournal.com profile] rrrowr that I'm reposting here, because I will, er, lose it over there. I know that sounds ridiculous, but there have already been like FOUR THINGS I POSTED OR REBLOGGED THAT I CAN'T FIND NOW. Tumblr eats souls and posts, so here's John and Sherlock immediately after The Great Game.




It’s a cab ride from the pool to Baker Street, one they don’t take after Mycroft’s men overrun the scene, keeping Sherlock from shooting a bullet into a vest covered in C4 and effectively killing them all. John would like to get into it with him about that, just for the normalcy of the fight; he can’t bring himself to yell in Mycroft’s towncar, though, not when Mycroft is yelling enough for the both of them. John’s ears are ringing with narrowly averted disaster, and he’s focusing on strange things—the tip of Mycroft's umbrella, a slightly darker black than the rest of it, and the way Sherlock keeps rubbing his index finger against his thumb.

He wonders if this is what the world is like for Sherlock all the time, this cacophony of useless details, and rapidly tries to stop considering it. He settles for sitting stock-still instead, for looking out the window, for taking deep breaths to keep himself from shaking apart in rage or panic or something.

Their flat still smells faintly of explosion when they get inside, traces of Moriarty hanging in the air, and John doesn’t know what to do with his hands. He takes off his coat (no bombs underneath, he’s checked, he knows, but maybe he’ll sell this coat anyway, burn it, anything to keep from looking at it again), drapes it over the hook. Sherlock’s leaning against the wall, looking as unsettled as John’s ever seen him, and that in and of itself is terrifying—Sherlock’s sure about everything, even things no one in their right mind would be certain of. Seeing him off balance is worse than watching a dog up on his hind legs, and John winces, looks away.

“Tea?” he says eventually, because at least it’s something to do. Sherlock’s eyes snap up, boring holes into his head, but this kind of casual, everyday violence John will take—there is a comfort in Sherlock’s brand of insanity, even if it’s one borne of something not unlike Stockholm Syndrome.

“Oh, how brilliant,” Sherlock drawls, “tea after you’re nearly blown to bits, yes, John, that sounds lovely—”

“Could you not,” John snaps. “Sherlock, for Christ’s sake, what do you want me to—”

“Do you know how aggravating is it,” Sherlock says, “to be put in my current position?”

“No,” John says, sighing and starting the kettle. “No, I don’t, because not all of us can read minds, Sherlock, so I don’t actually know what you’re talking about.”

Sherlock crosses the kitchen in two steps, stalks right into John’s personal space, growls something that might be a warning into his ear.

“This,” he says, and then “you,” and then they’re kissing, fierce and frantic, desperation metallic on both their tongues until the shrill whistle of the kettle breaks them apart.

Urgh! Sexy frustrated frantic Holmes, I'll take two please, with a side of Watson. Just Watson, I'll take him any way he likes :D

2) I'm already watching it. =)

3) Yay! A thing! . . . yes, this is my natural reaction to hearing about new fic from you. Why do you ask?

4) I'm utterly paranoid about backing stuff up in multiple locations. Even though I know it won't help in the event of a total disaster.

Did you see: Famous Albums redone as Books?

RIGHT??? I want to write fic just from that, about what Danny's thinking as Steve slips towards the edge, about how it's not supposed to be possible to see someone else's life flash before your eyes but he's seeing it anyway, a thousand moments he could have said everything, the desperate howling wail of too late that lessens but doesn't fade entirely as Steve comes to a stop.

Funny, that's pretty much my reaction to seeing the Sherlock thing. ;)

And Steve's obviously out, it's so, so clear that he can't hear Danny, and the only other person up here is a corpse, so it's not like anyone's listening. But he can't quite stop yelling Steve's name, because if he stops he's going to have to figure out the next step, and he's not really sure what that is--if it's jumping down there after him, if it's calling HPD, and does he even get cell service up here and Christ, shit, the sound of his voice is too much, desperate even to his own ears, and he aches for Steve to lift his head, tell him to shut the fuck up already, Danno, god.

oh dear god, I didn't know you were also a fan of Sherlock.

and, mmm... that was just completely bloody perfect. ♥

Ooh, I love the Sherlock ficlet - it's very atmospheric, and you really get a sense of them both being off-balance. This bit amused me, too:

there is a comfort in Sherlock’s brand of insanity, even if it’s one borne of something not unlike Stockholm Syndrome.

EEE, thank you so much!!

And ahahahaha, so, um, A BRIEF HISTORY OF ME AND THE HOLMES FANDOM: so, last year, before BBC Sherlock existed, I wrote a, uh, 45,000 word fic based on the '09 movie where Holmes and Watson were...modern day American grad students sharing an apartment, called History, Repeating Itself. AND THEN BBC SHERLOCK CAME OUT, and it was hard for me to write fic because I already had this image of them as these stupid lunatics I wrote about, so I stepped away. But yes! Now I write Sherlock fic sometimes, check that Sherlockkkkk tag up there, that should take you to all of it :D

alshfasdhfsda YES TO EVERYTHING IN THIS POST

Can't see the preview, I'm not in the right geographcal region (over the 45th parallel) but the summary looks amazing and i loved what you wrote up there to someone else so I got a taste anyway THANK YOU FOR THAT ♥

I loved the Sherlock ficlet, immediately-after-the-great-game is one of my favourite things and holmes brothers yelling and john being uncomfortable staying still and sherlock just desperate for john is just. So much love ♥

WHATEVER THIS 'THING' IS, I AM EXCITE!

John approves of this ficlet
