Has the angsty Sherlock/John started pouring out yet?


Has someone written/is someone writing Sherlock/Irene? In general, how has the fandom taken it?

I'm a bit torn, actually, because I love John&Sherlock and Irene gets a bit in the way of that, but holy wow, I'm sold on Sherlock/Irene too. Even if I also want to read Irene dominating the HELL out of every woman. All of the femmeslash crossovers, please. And OFCs INTO INFINITY. And also, with that lovely redhead Kate.

*coughs*

Sorry, my id was running away with me again.

Actually having very mixed feelings about Irene the Dominatrix and how the show portrayed her. I need to process, but it's a general sort of dissatisfaction. Which is fine, because after rewatching the first RDJ Sherlock Holmes movie last night, I feel like Rachel McAdams and her lack of gravitas was less a case of tragic mis-casting and more a case of very deliberate casting. It prepped me quite neatly to accept that Irene Adler, in any incarnation, will mostly live on in my head fanon only.

Also, let's insert general disappointment at queer women mostly being used to shock, while the queering of men is basically normalized, although that's probably a debate worth having. It's not exactly what I want to say, but I can find the words.

Also also: WHAT THE HELL, SHOW. MOLLY HOOPER DESERVES BETTER THAN THIS BULLSHIT.

I love, forever, FOREVER, that Mrs Hudson is more dear to John and Sherlock than almost anything else, that she's clever enough to pinch the phone from Sherlock's things, that John's (ex)girlfriend told him off for putting Sherlock first, and that Moriarty is still one smooth motherfucker.
