For hhimring. I thoroughly messed up the prompt; my brain read Theoden rather than Theodred, and decided to tell the story it wanted when even that wouldn't fit. And 100% unbeta'd, though I did try to self-edit. I hope you like it regardless ( Read more... )

The acd=holmesfest reveals are up, which means I can publicly claim the story I wrote.

Telling the Bees (PG, 2470 words)
Betas: lindahoyland, androdea
Written for: mainecoon76In which there are bees, and mind-palaces, and Mycroft being Big Brother in every sense of that term. While it's certainly based around the Doyle stories, I think it would be worth reading to anyone who has a basic feel ( Read more... )

This morning I mentioned I'd written the first new thing I'd written a while, over at Tumblr. It's not really fic in the full length, structured thing, but I still thought some of you might enjoy it. I started off with this video of Ryuichi Sakamoto's "Merry Christmas Mr Lawrence":

The Tree + Flower award over in the Tolkien fandom ended last week, and I won a few new shinies:

(1) First Place, ft. Dwarves: Beneath a Bitter Rain

We're having a bit of a cloudburst (<-- understatement) and I am officially happy the Kid and the Mum and I got our holiday celebrations in early. I plan to commandeer my neighbor's laptop and finally do my patriotic duty by watching Winter Soldier and possibly get caught up on the Daily Show, because that's apparently the flavor my brand of ( Read more... )

Over at Tumblr, Tiger in the Flightdeck pointed out that there are a lot of things from Sherlock's third series taken directly from fanfic and fan-art. There's a whole genre of Sherlock being a ballet dancer predating the show, and the bit from TSOT where Sherlock stuffs a dozen or so cigarettes in his mouth is almost an exact match for a ( Read more... )

I finally got around to putting a last coat of spit-polish on the pinch-hit fic I wrote for the acd-holmesfest exchange:

Title: Dark Have Been My Dreams (Read @ AO3)
Rating: PG for canon-level violence;
Characters: Holmes/Watson, with a heavy focus on Watson
Warnings: canon-consistent violence and angst, suggestions of m/m romance but nothing at all explicit

The acd-holmesfest reveals are up. You can find both of them through that link, but I also wanted to get them up at AO3. As I am a perfectionist that means re-reading, light re-editing, etc. I've now done that with the first of those fics:

http://marta-sherlock.tumblr.com/post/84509116398/how-about-a-bit-of-sherlock-headcanon-wedding-editionFor the life of me, I can't figure out where this came from. My Tumblr page has been full of people exchanging little summaries of moments between John and Sherlock in cute and romantic moments, and I guess it caught up with me a bit. I was ( Read more... )
