John’s Jumpers Discourse Time: John’s jumpers are amazing you fools. how dare you call them ugly. and God forbid I see you call them itchy and terrible. I will bust through your walls like the kool-aid man and shove some soft merino wool in your face to show you how wrong you are. John would never wear terrible itchy wool, he is a Soft Sweater Boy who only wears Soft Sweaters, he would never wear something that isn’t a magnet for Sherlock’s face. only the squishiest yarn goes into making those sweaters to give Sherlock a good squishy handhold when he grabs John’s jumpers and kisses him!! name an article of clothing better than John’s sweaters!!
This boy’s taste in expensive coats though? Does not suggest manky Primark jumpers
As someone who lives in oversized primark jumpers because she’s piss poor, trust me, John would hate them
OP is actually Sherlock, you cannot convince me otherwise.

Ever since the Kingsman movies have come out, whenever Mycroft gets REALLY annoyed with someone he’ll flex his hand on his umbrella and just quietly say “Manners maketh man,” and instantly gain silence and cooperation.
I’m dying.
BEST retirementlock hc is that watson has a flower garden while holmes has his bees
And Watson deliberately chooses flowers the bees will love.
This is so much my headcanon too: Watson grows old fashioned roses, other scented flowers, and they have a small kitchen garden, but he also grows herbs, and Holmes works to extract the active ingredients so he can investigate methods of synthesis. Watson experiments with Holmes’ honey for skin healing, because he remembers it was used on him in Afghanistan.
Holmes claims the lavender soap he makes is an interesting chemical experiment, but really he knows that Watson adores their shared, lavender-scented baths in front of the crackling fire
and Holmes loves the lingering scent of lavender on Watson’s skin once they are warm and dry and between the sheets
I do love this. We make their lives gentle because it heals both them, and the deep wounds we carry in ourselves from lives where there seems no gentleness is left.
What kind of pumpkin would John and Sherlock carve with Rosie?
Um, most definitely John would go out and buy a nice round, solid orange pumpkin and carving tools and set about craving a cute, tradtitional Jack-O-lantern with Rosie, holding her in his lap and letting her play with the pumpkin guts.
Meanwhile, Sherlock gets the most gnarly and hideous warty pumpkin he can find and watching YouTube videos teaching him how to intricately shave-carve pumpkins and make caricatures that are truest terrifying. And Rosie would love it.
Love this 👏
I had this idea that Sherlock deleted John’s birthday (or all birthdays?) but once in a while he’s reminded, so John gets surprise birthdays every few months or so, and after breakfast, Sherlock comes out in a party hat with a present and sometimes arranges dinner with some of their friends, who don’t understand why John’s cool with it but they like free dinner, but John thinks it’s just the most charming thing, and he hates his birthday, so random birthdays are the best for him.
Better yet, Sherlock wants John to think he deleted his birthday, but Sherlock can’t delete anything about John Watson so he throws random parties on the pretense that he doesn’t actually know when John’s birthday is when in reality he just really likes cake and silly hats and seeing John’s face do that thing where it’s bemused and touched and ‘you mad git’ all at once.
Sherlock makes origami pirate hats for Rosie to play with
When you’re almost falling asleep in your bed and then all of a sudden you wonder what John and Sherlock’s Wi-Fi password could be
“password” or “admin”
they’re both cocky and lazy
Knowing John and Sherlock it’d be either something as simple as ‘internet’ or sth like ‘Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis’ because it’s a medical term they both know and they love love LOVE to mess with other people’s heads
sherlock sets the password and john thinks it’s a string of random numbers and letters, which sherlock tells him is the most secure way to do it, so john has it written on a post-it note taped next to the trackpad on his laptop (very secure, john) because he knows he’ll never remember it
it’s actually a code of sherlock’s own devising and if john ever managed to decipher it he would realize it says “sherlockholmeslovesjohnwatson”
I just realised that John on Sherlock’s grave with Mary right before going to Mrs Hudson to tell her he’s getting married means John went to tell Sherlock first.
something I just realized
“those things will kill you”
how much money do you want to bet that those were the first words Greg said to Sherlock ever? when Sherlock was a drug addict and Greg found him somewhere? and probably it wasn’t about cigarettes but it was about whatever Sherlock’s drug of choice was???
