Jolto headcanons

At the Jolto meetup at 221b Con, we passed around a notebook for headcanons. The results are as follows.


After John returned to London, while Sholto was still deployed, John would pick up used books with meaningful inscriptions to send to him.


When they’re alone, sometimes James dresses John in his uniform and will obey any command Major Watson gives him.


During leave, John drags Sholto to bars for dancing and delights in ensuring he is covered in glitter by the end of the night. He of course helps Sholto wash it all off the next morning.


When John was a lowly crow, he’d always request clean up duty in the officers’ quarters, in hopes of catching a glimpse of the elusive Captain Sholto. Years later when he was assigned to the Major’s regiment, he had to fight the urge to grin like a loon every time he was in the Major’s company. Sholto noticed, of course, and took the suppressed smirk as insolence and reprimanded Watson… with cleaning duties in his quarters.


John picked up his love of plaid from Sholto’s wardrobe & not the other way around.


Sholto bought John the watch he wears from a flea market on leave. It has two times, which John always keeps set to Afghanistan and London time, long after he is returned home.


James loves to cook. He taught John how to cook the “thing with peas.”
