Part II

“We have a client,” Sherlock announced a few weeks later. John looked up from his laptop as Sherlock, who had been standing in front of the window playing a melancholy piece on his violin, sprang away and went to put his violin in its case.

“A client?” John repeated dumbly, just as their doorbell rang. Sherlock grinned at him excitedly.

“Mrs Hudson is out” Sherlock said. “Let her in, please.”

It was a very good thing that a client had turned up on their doorstep, because Sherlock had been moaning about the lack of interesting cases for almost two weeks now. Of course, John still had to hope this case would prove interesting enough for Sherlock to accept, since Sherlock didn’t seem familiar with the saying about beggars and choosers and, even when extremely bored, had turned away clients he didn’t think worthy of his attention.

The client waiting on the pavement in front of 221 was a red-haired woman in her thirties. John invited her in, and she smiled shyly when he introduced himself. “Oh, yes,” she told John. “I read your blog.”

Pairing: Joan Watson/Sherlock Holmes
Genre: Genderswap, femslash
Length: 5118 words - Complete.

Summary: Sherlock isn’t very good at relationships, she has never even tried. She’s always assumed she’d never be the kind of woman to tie herself to another person – certainly never a lover, she barely has any friends. Her opinion doesn’t change when she meets Joan, which only goes to show that one can be an excellent consulting detective and still miss a few clues.

Author's Note: English isn't my first language, feel free to point out typos and mistakes.

Characters/Pairings: Sherlock Holmes, Greg Lestrade
Contains: reference to drug use
Length: 2057 words
Summary: Greg is wise enough to know he can’t stand in the way of someone with a death wish. If it’s not cocaine, it would be something else.
He has a feeling it’s either the drugs, or a bullet in Sherlock’s brain.
He’d rather it remained the drugs.
Author's Notes: written as a fill for this kinkmeme prompt: Younger Sherlock, in a heavily drugged up and vulnerable state, tries to seduce Lestrade after solving his first consulting case for the department.
Lestrade almost gives in.

I was gushing over all my shiny Sherlock icons, and I realized that I have +800 LJ userpics saved on my computer.
Which is frankly more than a tad ridiculous considering that I cannot use more than 15 (fifteen!) due to my limited icon space and I hardly ever change them.
(But there are so many gorgeous icons around and I look at them and I must have them. When did I become such an icon hoarder?)

I thought I might as well rec some of my fav icon makers ♥ Just in case there are other icon hoarders around.

BBC Sherlock

PS. This took a ridiculously long time to post. And I need more Irene Adler icons. FOR REASONS.

Speaking of those intelligent fans, we asked Cumberbatch if he was aware of the extensive collection of creative and explicit fan fiction that has surfaced online since the premiere of the show's first season.

"I am startlingly aware of it," Cumberbatch said with a smile. "I don't go seeking it, but Martin Freeman, who was an absolute luddite on the first series, suddenly came back from New Zealand having done a little radio short drama called "The Hobbit," he came back and he had this beautiful Mac with him and said 'Hey, look at this Tumblr.' And I said, 'What? Tumblr? What?' He knows more about it than I do and he was showing me some of them. Some of it is really racy, un-viewable even on MTV. It's cool."

The charming Brit went on to say that he is flattered by a few of the depictions he's come across and that he's amazed how much time some fans have put into their work.

"I suppose my bodily proportions are quite flattering. I'm ripped, doing something I wouldn't normally do with my body, or having done to it, involving Watson," he said cheekily. "So that's as far as I'll hit about that one, but it's all there on the Web if you want to find it. I was amazed at the level of artistry; people have spent hours doing it. And there's some really weird cross breeding stuff that goes on. The news got out that I was playing Smaug in 'Hobbit' and suddenly there were lots of dragons with purple scarves flying around so it's crazy, it's crazy."
