O - Choose a song at random. Which ship or character does it remind you of?
I'm not sure if this is asking me to purposefully pick a song that reminds me of a ship or character or to put my music on shuffle and free-associate with whatever comes up, so I'll do both.
My pick: the last song I added to one of my fannish playlists was Second Chances by Gregory Alan Isakov. It reminds me really intensely of Steve Rogers/Bucky Barnes post-Winter Soldier. It's beautiful, with sound simultaneously sad and hopeful. It makes me think of Bucky recovering from being the Winter Soldier and trying to rebuild himself with Steve's help. Sample lyrics:
I’m running from nothing, no thoughts in my mind oh my heart was all black but I saw something shine thought that part was yours, but it might just be mine I could share it with you, if you gave me the time I’m all bloody knuckles, longing for home if it weren’t for second chances, we’d all be alone
Shuffle: The first track shuffle gave me was from the Sherlock soundtrack, which is a little too obvious. The next was Coffee by Numbers (Faon's Song) by Marian Call. It really doesn't remind me of a specific character, but it sounds like a perfect theme song for a coffee shop AU: Hey Love, you look like a zombie on parade You got a cell phone sword and a briefcase barricade You can't taste your coffee when you drink so fast, is that your tenth Or eleventh cup? Stranger, look at me I've never said hello and that's killing me
S - Show us an example of your personal headcanon. Before John came into the picture, Lestrade assigned Sally to be Sherlock's assistant when he was helping out the Yard. Sally actually got along well with him for a while, thinking he was kind of an asshole but fascinating as well as useful. He recognized her as in the upper tier of competence for the Yard, though of course that wasn't good enough to avoid lots of belittling comments. Then one time Sherlock got a little too excited about the puzzle aspect of a crime Sally found especially disturbing. Her attempt to call him out on his callousness didn't go well, leading to a massive fight. Their relationship degenerated from there.
