Fic for paradiseandcola: A Peculiar Affection

Title: A Peculiar Affection
Recipient: Paradiseandcola
Author: REDACTED
Verse: ACD Canon.
Characters/Pairings: Holmes & Watson, Holmes/Watson.
Rating: T
Warnings: Alusion to period typical homophobia and transphobia, along with background mentions of a transphobic family.
Summary: There are places in London where a man of my nature might find temporary companionship or a short physical liaison. I was well acquainted with them even before I left for my Afghan service, and after my return, I reacquainted myself with them. But after I took up lodgings with Sherlock Holmes, I lessened the frequency of my visits until I had all but ceased to go entirely.

It was not solely my fear of discovery that kept me away, though that concern was most certainly a factor. Holmes was, after all, a man of exceptional perceptive ability, and I would not like for him to know what kind of establishments I was frequenting. Rather, it was my growing feelings for him that kept me from seeking out any other man’s company.

Fic for beaglesbites: A Closely Guarded Secret

Title: A Closely Guarded Secret
Recipient: beaglesbites
Author: REDACTED
Verse: ACD Sherlock Holmes
Characters/Pairings: Sherlock Holmes/John Watson
Rating: T
Warnings: None
Summary: Holmes travels home to London as soon as he finds out that Watson has, in a small way, come to the attention of Colonel Sebastian Moran. While he has been away, Holmes has kept up with Watson’s stories. One in particular, The Gloria Scott, has been decorated with romanticism in a manner that worries Holmes. Not because Watson has ruined an instructive lecture, but because of how closely Watson’s imagined version of events reflects something Holmes has hidden for years about his friendship with Victor Trevor, and about himself. But how much is conjecture, and how much does Watson actually know?

Look! I remembered to post before December started this year!

Hello, friends! It's about to be December again, and you know what that means: the fact I am posting this actually before December 1 means [staff profile] karzilla reminded me about the existence of linear time again. Wait, no -- well, yes, but also -- okay, look, let me back up and start again: it's almost December, and that means it's time for our annual December holiday points bonus.

The standard explanation: For the entire month of December, all orders made in the Shop of points and paid time, either for you or as a gift for a friend, will have 10% of your completed cart total sent to you in points when you finish the transaction. For instance, if you buy an order of 12 months of paid time for $35 (350 points), you'll get 35 points when the order is complete, to use on a future purchase.

The fine print and much more behind this cut! )

Thank you, in short, for being the best possible users any social media site could possibly ever hope for. I'm probably in danger of crossing the Sappiness Line if I haven't already, but you all make everything worth it.

On behalf of Mark, Jen, Robby, and our team of awesome volunteers, and to each and every one of you, whether you've been with us on this wild ride since the beginning or just signed up last week, I'm wishing you all a very happy set of end-of-year holidays, whichever ones you celebrate, and hoping for all of you that your 2026 is full of kindness, determination, empathy, and a hell of a lot more luck than we've all had lately. Let's go.
