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.
The best thing about this is the anthropomorphizing of the bed AS John Watson, not like, “Sherlock’s new bedding seems kind of like a Freudian (pillow) slip.”
Regardless of what kind of day you’re having or how dreadful or amazing or fake or real you think the scripts are, I think we can all agree on one thing, and that is that THIS (from the fake not fake totally legit who tf knowsTSOT draft script):
…is fucking great.
So, hey, Sherlock fandom, yeah, hey you. I think this thing is gold. I think it….cries out for the full crack treatment we are all capable of delivering.
So I made an a03 collection. I even made a shitty logo:
RULES:
1. Put Sherlock in a gym bag, in a fic.
ALTERNATIVELY
2. Put John in a gym bag.
OR
3. I mean just fucking put someone in a gym bag.
Post your stuff to the Gymbaglock collection! (This is an option on the form you fill out when you post your fic.)
Collection is here–be there or be…zipped into a gym bag until John comes to get you, I guess.
tagging @fellshish and @sarahthecoat and literally all of you, please, let’s do something fun together.
From what I’ve heard a couple of fans were just talking about Sherlock and someone went to get a tuna sandwich for lunch and they started talking about how anything goes well with “Lock” … balletlock, greaserlock, tunalock … and tunalock was born.
If anyone knows more, DO jump in and correct us! 😉
