My Holmestice Roundup!
Dec. 21st, 2020 11:22 pmHOLMESTICE REVEALS ARE UP!! My first year participating (though I've been reading for years) and I was all over it! Thread of the story I received and the stories I wrote. Here's the masterlist of ALL the amazing works produced: MASTERLIST
I received the WONDERFUL "A Study in Scheming" by Starfishstar. BBC 'verse, Irene/Mary. More of this ship and it is twisty, clever, touching, delightful! A Study in Scheming by Starfishstar on AO3
The set-up is a little bit similar to my own "Leaves Tremblin' On the Tree" - Irene helps Mary evade Sherlock and John in T6T - but goes in a very different direction, and there's still a lot of life left in that premise!
The main gift that I wrote is "Pearls Beyond Price" for happyeverafter72. ACD canon, Holmes/Watson/Mary. I've written a lot of BBC Johnlockary but this was my first long one in ACD. Pearls Beyond Price on AO3
I do so love writing awkward polyamory negotiations between Victorians in love, all at very different levels of repression, and getting them to that Happily Ever After.
I also wrote 2 treats! For Strampunch, who wanted genderfluid!Holmes presenting femme and Watson being "a bisexual disaster," I wrote "Charlotte Sometimes" (ACD, H/W) Charlotte Sometimes on AO3
Strampunch's art is SO AMAZING, and when I saw they had a prompt request that really really inspired me, I pounced. Wanting to give something back.
For iwantthatcoat I wrote a verse I've never done before: Alexis Hall's fantastic The Affair of the Mysterious Letter, crossed over with BBC: "The Stress of Her Regard" The Stress of Her Regard on AO3
That book was on my TBR list already because of the long essay I'm writing about Magic & The Occult in Sherlockian Fiction, and Coat's request bumped it up to the top. I devoured it in three days.
If you like queer as fuck cosmic horror adventure comedy (you probably do) I can't recommend it highly enough. Since the premise has interdimensional travel in there already, why not send Shaharazad Haas and John Wyndham to early 21st century London and see what happens?
