IT IS AS CRACK-Y AS EVER, AND SO MUCH FUN
PS- I read it all the way from the start, a total of 29 chapters and I haven’t laughed quite so much in my life.
Is it just me or does everyone start reading high quality Johnlock fanfiction(smut) every time you get the slightest hint you might be falling in love with someone around you?
I am good at this denial thing.
I will go and hunt for more Johnlock fanfic to fill my days with rather than get my heart broken to bits.
I guess I am just weird that way.
watching the first twenty minutes of tons of movies hoping I will like one of them.
reading fanfiction-i have just been pulling up ALL possible resources-which means going into fyjff’s archives and hunting good fanfic down and also Devin, if you’re reading this- thanks a TON for the smut recommendations.Much appreciated.
borrowed Parade’s End from Butler Library.A green hardback now graces my bookshelf. Proud of self for having read first page;the book was a bitch to hunt down but hasn’t ben borrowed for the past 12 years. Hmm, I wonder why.
I am seriously concerned though about my art absorption these days. I just blatantly reject anything that is not SUPERB-like even stuff that is marginally good is not enough-not in music, not in movies, not in arts etc. Don’t know why, don’t know if this is just a phase-if it is ,can’t wait for it to end.
Also, I HAVE to tell you guys about my obsession with artists. I watched My Week With Marilyn and liked that movie a lot. something about the movie resonated with Polanski’s The Pianist- about how artists kind of live in this otherworldly state of mind, are so fragile and vulnerable, but how their art seems to carry them through. They are also a VERY VERY insecure bunch(i mean not the polanski film, but in MWwM) I might write something creatively about “living with the artist”-because I go around everywhere and I see SUCH talented people and I fall in love with them but then I think, will they be a bitch to live with(like remember Marionne Cotillard’s character in Midnight in Paris complaining about living with Picasso? or about the Adrien Brody story about how he broke up with his long time girlfriend to prepare for a role?or how Ben once said that Olivia think he gets obsessed with characters? like how the work always has to come first? )I LOVE such people-they are so moody and tempestuous and temperamental and they are the conundrums and enigmas you admire from afar-akin to the sun, you go too near and you get burnt by their brilliance?Not because they’re too brilliant for you to handle per se, but they’re too bit-not-good in other spheres of life to ignore.
I don’t know.
I should get a life and just stop being such a fucking admiring audience to everything cooking up stories in my head that won’t materialise.
or they might. just keep checking your local bookstores.
toodles for now.

ok, errr, I realized I might have a bit of a problem and an Unpopular Opinion.
I love Sherlock (the TV series), I love Benedict and Martin (as actors, as hotties, as God’s gift to womankind) and I love Sherlock Holmes (curly haired, pale, beautiful, gorgeous, brilliant,amazing, irritating,intimidating,violin-playing genius of a man, who is also slightly socially-awkward and in love with John) and I also love John Watson ( as an ex-army doctor, BAMF, cuddly, bejumpered, cute as he’ll, hot when he is pissed, sexy all the bloody time, exasperated, amazed, crackshot, jam-lover, and in love with Sherlock).
Fact is I love all of them independently.
So when I watch Sherlock, my Sherlock looks Iike Benedict and my John like Martin. And I love them.
However.
However, when I read fanfiction, I don’t tend to give my Sherlock and John the actors’ faces. Because I find it awkward. I know too much about who they are otherwise to be comfortable with reading about them doing, ahem, things to each other.
So yes, when smut reading ensues, Sherlock and John get slightly different faces. They essentially remain the same but not quite.
Does that make any sense at all?
Is it just me who does this? Or do all of you too?
Dear avid reader of fanfiction,
I FOUND IT!!!!
Well, remember a while back I told you that Doctor, Detective and Sons was the quintessential parent!lock fic? I still love that fic a lot , but I liked this one better. I guess because the children in it were so much John’s and Sherlock’s children and the story was about them (the children) and not about parenting troubles.
The fic is written by the absolutely lovely Jupiter-Ash- who gave us A Study In Winning,The Great Git and A Study In Winning.
So the three kids are supposed to be from Outnumbered (which is a British sitcom)- I haven’t seen it but plan to. Because if the kids are anything like Jake, Ben and Careinn-they must be big fun.
There is a kidnapping sequence - the younger two kids are kidnapped and it is SO DAMN cute. All the parenting and the child role-play is so damn real and cute. Especially when the youngest daughter plays with her Barbie and makes Batman Sherlock and Action Man Jhn snog each other- it reminded me of a time when I used to play tea-party with my Barbie and made her snog Winnie The Pooh(I didn’t have any make action figures). I could really connect with Cairenn- she was weird , kooky, deceptively sweet and intelligent - she is a lot like me ( although I probably am not the genetic genius she is ) and the fact that the kidnappers regret kidnapping them ( yeah, this happened in a slightly different scenario to me- I was 12 when I was traveling alone by air and the air-host asked my uncle whether I would cry on being alone. He very accurately replied, tongue-in-cheek-” she won’t cry; she’ll make you cry”)
The second kid Benedict- is NOTHING like the Benedict we know. I thought probably he would be sweet and cherubic given that his doppleganger is like that. He literally is the demon child from hell . But he is also SOOOO cute in his own way, you can’t help but love him for who he is.
Jake was the most ordinary, and hence the most boring of them. He is super conventional and your heart goes out to the poor guy -having two attention demanding siblings can never be that much fun.
It’s a fun, cute fic. Very different from your average one child Parent!lock, and much more enjoyable.
This one is called Victorious.
The other one that is linked on my Author Page on ffnet is called Forever and Two Days.
Both of them are Johnlock. One is fluffy Johnlock(like I-have-cavity fluffy) and the other is angsty, case-fic Johnlock.
Yes, both stories have Victor in them.
And thanks for reading.
( could you do me a teensy favor? If you read the fics- just like this post, will you? You will, na? Thank you so much ) (*bear hug and sloppy kiss*)
(desperate attempt to get more readers to my work is owing to the fact that both my works are WIP’s and I haven’t updated them in two months) (I need ideas and a good kick in the shins)
Help me out here. Thanks!!
UNABASHED FLUFF WARNING.TREAD WITH CAUTION.
You know how I have this thing for fluff?
Like this ginormous fixation on all things as fluffy as a bunny rabbit?
Yeayeah. So this fic did it for me.It is an AWESOME feel good fic about parenthood and yaddayaddayadda. But seriously. You will not leave this page leaving unfluffy. I had this huge grin on my face the whole while I read it and even though I felt slightly foolish towards the end at the Perfection that the author aimed for, I uess, you know it’s what every Johnlock shipper wants to see We want to see John and Sherlock together,happy, sloving crimes, and raising a very intelligent child even though it is logistically impossible to do all that. I guess it’s the idealist in me that makes me go”Yeah, you know , this is so totally probable.”
But what the hell-it is fanfiction-suspend all your disbelief and your faith in your ship will carry you through.
And, I am getting started on reading His Lips Tremble Still, which is going to be a marathon read and I cant wait to get started on it- the initial rompt itself is SO amazing.
Will get back with a review of the same later! Also pending is a review of The Fabric of Life. Watch this space!
What’s yours?
