Also, Sherlock and John were on the cover of Summer Falls by Amelia Williams in The Bells of St. John. Just to the right on the book’s cover.

So I wrote a tiny itty-bitty little Valentine’s ficlet. I had to get it out of my system.
It’s only 234 words. And you should go read it.

Lord of the Rings Elvish in Sherlock
In The Blind Banker while Sherlock is looking through what remains of the cypher, you can see elvish on a paper in the top left corner.
Sherlock has the window table at Angelo’s permanently reserved.
He didn’t call beforehand to say that they were coming, but the reserved card was still there. It stays there all the time so that whenever Sherlock wants to go there to eat he is guaranteed the same table every time.
WHO LIKES GRAMMAR AND SHERLOCK (BBC) BOARDING SCHOOL AUs.
and by that I mean, bitch send me a message I need a beta.
I’m 6,895 words deep into just chapter one so prepare yourself. Give me like another few hours and I’ll have the rest of the chapter done.
Also, I’m super good at taking criticism. What isn’t working, what sounds retarded, what makes me look like an illiterate baboon.
Have you even been friendzoned so hard you went straight through the friendzone and into John Watson’s corner of the closet marked DENIAL.
I’m learning a few phrases in French from reading fic where Sherlock speaks French.
Learned a good portion of it from JupiterAsh’s Tennis series.
And then there are a bunch of French!Sherlock fic out there and I’ve become quite familiar with plus fort and putain and touche-moi and many other phrases along those lines.
Does anyone else find it funny that Anderson’s first name is Sylvia?
DOES THIS MAN LOOK LIKE A SYLVIA TO YOU?
I’m writing a Sherlock Post-Reichenbach/Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind Crossover. Loosely based off the gif sets that are floating around.
I can’t find them right now, but if someone reblogs this and can link to them that would be super. Or send me the link and I’ll edit this post.
AU: Sherlock and John meet James Bond at Buckingham Palace at the Opening Ceremonies for the 2012 Olympic Games
“Oh, here’s trouble,” Bond says as he comes striding into the reception room.
“I’m perfectly happy to leave,” Sherlock says. “In fact, I’d have been perfectly happy not to come at all.”
“Not you, sonny,” Bond says, his scowl turning to a crooked smirk as he walks straight past Sherlock. “John Watson, you bloody devil. Who let you in here?”

Paul Jones for Radio Times (x)Rat, Wedding and Bow were the three words revealed by Steven Moffat and Mark Gatiss at this afternoon’s Edinburgh TV Festival Sherlock Masterclass, supposedly hinting at the themes of each of the third season’s episodes. But what could they mean?
The first thing that springs to my mind when I hear the word Rat in relation to a Sherlock Holmes story is The Boscombe Valley Mystery, in which a young man is implicated in his father’s murder, the key to which is the true meaning of a dying reference to “a rat”. If you don’t know the story, I won’t spoil it for you by explaining what the “rat” in question is.
Next we have Wedding, which immediately suggests the marriage of Dr Watson to Mary Morstan, the heroine of The Sign of Four. Could this mean wedding bells for John? And if so, who might be the lucky lady?
Everyone’s favourite lab geek Molly Hooper currently has a major crush on Sherlock, but some have suggested she might transfer her affections to John in the future. The argument goes as follows: Molly has a cat called Toby. Toby is the name of the bloodhound used by Holmes to track the villain in The Sign of Four. The Sign of Four is the story that introduces Mary Marston. Mary Marston later married John Watson.
Are these early clues left by Gatiss and Moffat for eagle-eyed fans to discover? Are they coincidences? Or are they the writers’ cheeky attempts to throw us off the scent? I don’t know, but I could have a good guess…
Finally, we have Bow, and this is the clue that could suggest we won’t be seeing any more of Sherlock after series three. Is it a reference to bow-ties? We know from Doctor Who that Steven Moffat has a penchant for them. More likely, that’s the wrong pronounciation and we’re looking at His Last Bow, Holmes’s final case, which sees the ageing detective - codenamed Altamont - going up against German spies as part of the British First World War effort.
But there are three reasons why Sherlock fans shouldn’t despair just yet.
1. While His Last Bow is chronologically Holmes’s final case, Arthur Conan Doyle wrote 12 more adventures pre-dating it after it was published, under the banner of The Case-Book of Sherlock Holmes.
2. Moffat and Gatiss have already happily messed around with ACD’s stories, picking and choosing bits and pieces and flitting back and forth in the Holmes timeline. They may well do it again.
3. Moffat and Gatiss knew we were poised to analyse the three words as soon as they were revealed. They know many of us are as big Sherlock Holmes fans as they are and they can predict exactly the sort of conclusions we (I) might jump to, so they’ve deliberately chosen words that send us (me) in completely the wrong direction just for the fun of it.
Of the three theories, the latter is possibly the most likely…
All this is, of course, wild speculation based on very little rumination. I will be entering my mind palace later to give those three little words the full attention they require. In the meantime, what are your thoughts? Post your theories below and let me know…
