Summary
Plato proposed that humans were once beings with four arms, four legs, and two faces. Peace reigned, until the god Zeus came to be jealous of humanity, condemning each soul to walk the earth in search of its other half. Many people upon hearing this, think it romantic. These people are, frankly, terminally closed-minded.

Summary
Watson, Holmes had discovered, had a secret love of elephants. It was not a deliberately kept secret, and likely it would be common knowledge to one who had known him his entire life, from childhood, that John Watson loves elephants, but meeting him as an adult, it had not had a chance to come up. Since it had come up, however, in a rambling, sentimental state of intoxication after an evening out with old soldier friends, Holmes saw elephants everywhere.

18 Aug 2023
Tags
Summary
Holmes cut me off wonderfully with a kiss, and I clung eagerly to his lips, falling back breathlessly into the pillows when finally he let me go.

Electric Touch by Doodledust (PackGuardian)
Fandoms: Sherlock Holmes - Arthur Conan Doyle
15 Jul 2023
Tags
Summary
I don’t know why it was I had stopped in front of the basin, staring at myself in the mirror with my arms crossed. I don't know why I had neglected to properly close the bathroom door, nor what possessed Holmes to slip into the room and stand with his long, slender hands upon each side of the basin, placing his lithe form scandalously close behind me. He peered at the reflection of my face in the mirror, studying my eyes, tracing my features, examining me thoroughly, and, I am sure, completely aware of the dastardly effect he had on my heart-rate as his breath grazed my shoulder.

Watson loses his train of thought while in the bathroom preparing for bed. Holmes makes him glad he did. -

Posterior Observation by Doodledust (PackGuardian)
Fandoms: Sherlock Holmes - Arthur Conan Doyle
19 Jun 2023
Tags
Summary
Mycroft was not really reading the newspaper. More than anything, it was a cover to track the incessant comings and goings from the room without anyone noticing what he was actually doing. Sherlock was arguably doing similar beside him, but he did not have a newspaper or indeed any object in hand, nor was he watching the tide of police officers. In fact, his eyes were fixed on one man in particular.
“Brother,” he said in a low voice, “if you will insist on staring at the doctor's backside--”
--
Waiting to be useful at the scene of a murder, Mycroft is stunned by his little brother's audacity in what he chooses to occupy himself with. -
