You’re Mark Gatiss. As a queer youth, you adored Sherlock Holmes, your favorite film adaptation being one of the only in which the detective is canonically gay and “falls desperately in love” with Watson. You’ve always loved to write, and published a trilogy featuring a bisexual spy, along with gay erotica (
which all started with the angsty H/W slash fanfic you wrote as a teen). You’re a strong advocate for LGBT rights and speak frequently on the need for more queer representation in the media.Now you have the opportunity to co-write your own film adaptation of Holmes and Watson, set in modern times, with one of your best friends. What do you do? Go.
#first you might make Watson’s brother a lesbian#and The Woman so many other versions turned into Holmes’s love interest?#make her gay too#and Moriarty#you make him the gayest of all#(because let’s be honest#teen!you wrote that slash too)#then you take Watson’s canon wife#and combine her with canon Moriarty’s right-hand man#then have her shoot Holmes in the chest#so he not only fights his way back from death for Watson#but literally has to restart his heart#THIS IS THE ANGSTY FANFIC YOU WROTE AS A TEEN#but now you’re taking that secret notebook out from under your mattress#and you’re showing it to the world and saying LOOK#this version?#this version is fine#it’s ALL fine (tags via OP deducingbbcsherlock)
Whew, finished my next crossdressing fic:
Sometimes, Charities Can Be Such a Drag – John and Greg dress in drag for a charity auction. Of course Sherlock is John’s highest bidder.

“Why the hell am I doing this again?” John sucked in his stomach while Greg zipped up the back of his dress.
“Because you want to help support the charity and Anderson wouldn’t.” Greg stepped back and smiled at John. “You should wear heels more often, you’ve got the calves for it.”
John turned to glare at Greg, but stopped. The inspector was standing in a curly brunette wig, red halter top and a tight leather skirt that immediately would have made John adjust himself if he wasn’t already tucked.
Greg caught him staring and took a step back, drawing John’s attention to sexy heeled boots. “Been a while, but glad to see I still got it.”
“I would say you do,” John smoothed his own dress and moved to the mirror, smiling at the sight of himself in the short blond wig and red dress. He’d neglected to tell Greg he’d already owned these things because of an earlier case.
“Come on then, don’t want to be late,” Greg pulled on a leather jacket that completed his ensemble. John shook his head and followed him out.
Hey look I managed a johnlock pwp:
Therfore I am Safe – When Sherlock wakes from nightmares, John is there to comfort him.
teaser below the cut
John woke to a soft noise. He opened his eyes and looked at the ceiling. It took him another moment to realize it was Sherlock, curled up against the side of the bed, whimpering softly.
Sitting up carefully, John regarded his lover. They had been through a lot in the past year, really the last four or so. But they’d somehow landed together and here they were. Faded scars were just visible through the thin fabric of Sherlock’s shirt. He knew bit and pieces of what had happened, but not everything. And of course there were the nightmares.
“Sherlock,” he called quietly, knowing to move slowly. The first time Sherlock had tried waking him from his own nightmare he’d punched him in the face.
The man curled up tighter. John carefully got up from the other side of the bed. Five minutes later he was setting a fragrant cup of tea on Sherlock’s end table, watching him.
Slowly Sherlock started to wake up and uncurl, reaching for the cup. John walked around the bed and got back in, silently rubbing his back while he drank it.
And they say that it’s not canon…
