Affection

One of the most incredible feelings is when someone wants to share their creative process with you. You have an idea? A drabble? A drawing? A snippet? A story to share? I am OBSESSED. Tell me everything or as much as you want to. Update me with any detail. I will love it. Because you made it so it is special and incredible. <3

✨️Holmes's vanilla extract shenanigans✨️:

"As you know, however, it is not my habit to go after the small fish while the big ones are at large. Mind the vanilla extract!" [Holmes] yelled suddenly and pulled me backwards from the two paces or so I had taken in the direction of the house. "You might have fallen in," he gasped, holding on to me to regain his balance.

[...]

"I may write a monograph on it," Holmes said, referring to the vanilla extract.

[...]

There he stopped dead before the empty tracks as Gloucester stopped at the edge of his cliff. The vanilla extract ended here.

[...]

"There were at least three choices, any one of which would have served my turn. Without vanilla extract," [Holmes] added, smiling.

[...]

"But I place my faith in vanilla extract. I have conducted experiments - and, well, if it proves false, Watson, this is one case your readers will be amused instead of amazed to read."

I thought it would be funnier if I left it out, but the context for Holmes’s sudden obsession with vanilla extract is that he made Professor Moriarty step into a puddle of it without Moriarty noticing. He could then trace Moriarty all the way across the continent with the help of Toby, the dog. Holmes decided to use vanilla extract because the creosote he had used in The Sign of Four turned out to be too common a smell, so Toby got confused.

I’m crying because when my dad was eighteen he was going to join the airforce and then the night before he had a dream that Jesus slapped him in the face with a gigantic fish and asked him what he was doing and he woke up and thought, “Jesus is right what am I doing?” And that’s why my dad did not join the military.

Sherlock, babykins, don't be so jealous of John's patients. He loves you more than them, don't worry. 🩷🩷🩷
