When good Sherlock fangirl brains go bad; or, Shut the fuck up, Ariel's brain.
I've been fangirling a lot over the summer. Mostly about the BBC series Sherlock. (As you might have noticed.) Maybe it's because I was on fanfic hiatus since my fanfic buddy glorious_clio graduated, and I had a bit of a backlog. I don't know. But all summer I've been reading fanfiction. (Well, the same 2 fanfics over and over again. But they're novel length! And brilliant!) And writing. Katherine and I have been texting a fic back and forth all summer. It's over 100 pages by now. Literally. It's huge. And ridiculous. And rather plotless. 100 pages of sex, people. Glorious, slightly plot-y sex.
And now there's talk of the next series of Sherlock. Which - holy crap, am I excited! But at the same time I'm nervous. Because I've spent all summer in hardcore John/Sherlock mode, and they're bringing Irene Adler into the next series, and odds are, she'll go in as a romantic interest for Sherlock.
Fangirl!Ariel is very sad.
On the one hand, the addition of a romantic interest for Sherlock could add some very delicious tension between Sherlock and John (and perhaps a little jealousy? Yes please?).
On the other hand, I'm really worried that my ship not working out will totally ruin the new series for me.
Yes, it's really stupid. I know. I should be able to watch a show without my ship goggles fused to my head. But the truth is, I can't. It's impossible. I've tried. Really hard. It just doesn't work. So what if the addition of Irene makes Sherlock fall in love with her? (Granted, I think she's only going to be in one episode, and there will be 3 total. But still.)
SHUT UP, BRAIN! You get really frustrating sometimes.
So yes. That's it. That's my main concern in life. Whether or not my ship will work out. Which, of course, I already know it won't. Because they are sticking really close to cannon, according to Katherine who has actually read the original works of ACD, and Holmes and Watson don't shag like rabbits in the original.
But the sexual tension, people! Seriously! I could eat it with a spoon! And there are so... many... hints. Grrrr.
I don't know what to do. Pray that I can sit back and watch Sherlock for the brilliant piece of television that it is? Write copious amounts of fanfiction? Hope that Sherlock's asexuality extends to our dear Ms. Adler?
(Ironically, the coast is getting pummled by Hurricane Irene right now. Big LOL.)
Right. Must finish reading Dalton. (Which is Glee, not Sherlock, thank you very much.)
Things will get better when Katherine comes back from Boston.
Derangedly yours,
Ariel
