A 5+1 fic that has other people in Sherlock’s life finding out about his scars before John finally does. It’s interesting to see how they react and how Sherlock acts differently in each situation. ❤
A New Chapter: 221watson, havetardiswilltimetravel – 5,700
When John moves back in to 221b he sees that Sherlock is not doing well and resolves to find out why. Technically pre-slash, but still very emotional.
John accidentally walks in on Sherlock changing his shirt and sees his scars. With some help from Harry, John finally decides to talk to Sherlock about his scars and learns the real reason that Sherlock has been so reluctant to show them to John. (also there is fan art!)
Sherlock has been hiding his bullet scar (from Mary) because he thinks it is embarrassing and weak. Thankfully John tells him that it is alright to be imperfect: everyone is.
Beautifully written and very emotional, in this fic John realizes that Sherlock is reacting strangely to casual touching. Stunning and touching; read this immediately.
During a case, Sherlock is hit by a ricochet bullet. After John learns the bullet was from his gun, he feels guilty and caters to Sherlock’s every whim. When Sherlock reveals John his scars, John shows Sherlock that not all marks should hurt.
John decides to (finally) tell Sherlock that he loves him as a gift for Christmas and discovers Sherlock’s scars by accident. Sherlock is smoll and wonders how he could offer anything to John in return. (This can be read alone but is a sequel to Day 1: Shopping for Gifts)
Although he and John have finally gotten together, Sherlock has managed to hide his scars for several months. When Sherlock forgets to close the door, John sees them and becomes very upset.
Sherlock has been holed up in his room for days on end and John just wants to help. After much prodding, Sherlock shows John the scars he has hidden in embarrassment. This author also has many other scars fics including: At What Cost, Recovery, and A Chemical Defect
John receives texts with pictures of a badly scarred body. After discovering that the pictures are of Sherlock, he confronts Sherlock about them. This is the 1st part of a series. (Warning: mentions of rape, torture)
No you but you don’t understand this like my favorite thing Sherlock has autistic tendencies and is very likely actually mildly autistic and John is the only person to understand that and be gentle with him when he makes a mistake like this and actually take the time to explain to him why it’s wrong instead of just being a dick and calling him a psychopath and dismissing him leaving him confused and hurt like everyone else
leave me here to die
Also note that he does actually tell Sherlock how to be better, but not I’m a demeaning or offensive way. His behavior is not okay, but yelling at him and hating him for it is not the way to fix it. John genuinely loves him and wants him to be a better person and so he shows him how to be in a loving, gentle way. And that’s amazing.
IMAGINE HEARING ABOUT THE DUDEBRO LIVING NEXT TO U IN THE DORMS “yah dave dropped out cuz he built a fucking person”
victor frankenstein was a little bITCH and he had no degree at all, he was at college for like, a year and then he was like “lol these bitches ain’t got nothing on me” and he just got an apartment and stopped going to school so he could build a person. i don’t think he even formally dropped out, he just kind of disappeared and nobody even questioned it because that’s what you expect when some cocky asshole comes to class like “i know more than everyone in this school and one day i’m going to prove it by ending dEATH ITSELF”
fucking bullshit victor, come home and eat some goddamn soup you wussass teenager
fucking trashass motherfucker 19 year old sin machine
go get ur liver pecked by birds u mess of a human being
i am never going to let the world forget that victor frankenstein spent 90% of the novel moping instead of doing literally anything else. actual quote from emo kid victor frankenstein “my only solace was silence – deep, dark, deathlike silence” like HOW EXTRA
You’d almost think Mary Shelly was taking inspiration from someone she knew….
No boobs? Damn. Grow some. Boobs? Cover yourself. You’re so vulgar. No ass? Everyone will laugh at you for it. Ass? Well, better cover yourself cause you don’t wanna draw attention to that booty, right? Short? You need to wear those heels. Tall? Damn. You cannot be taller than men. Also, never wear heels. Skinny? Gotta gain weigh cause no one likes bones. Chubby? Eat healthy!!!! Nobody likes fat bitches. You like makeup? Hell no. Taking you swimming on the first date. No makeup? Please, take care of yourself. Don’t be so lazy.
We, women, are constantly shamed for everything so we, as well, might do whatever we want.
Want to have sex? Ew, slut. Don’t want to have sex? No one likes a prude. Want to be a stay at home mom? Anti-feminist. Don’t want kids? Selfish.
Literally every decision we make is criticized. That’s why building up self-love and confidence is so important. Live your life the way you want, don’t let other people control you.
so john and sherlock are at their wedding ceremony, and sherlock, idiotically in all his planning, forgot to inform the celebrant not to say his full name. so when she says, “john hamish watson, do you take william sherlock scott holmes to be your husband,” sherlock bites down on his tongue, john bursts into fits of giggles, and all their guests, bar the holmes family, are sitting shocked like “his name is william???????”
Then he does a 180 and practically plans the whole wedding for his best friend.
Did you hear that everybody, Sherlock has a best friend!!!! He can’t get over it, even when he’s in pain from escaping the hospital from just being shot.
SHERLOCK (a little louder but still quieter than we’re used to hearing him speak): You’re a man who couldn’t stay in the suburbs for more than a month without storming a crack den and beating up a junkie. Your best friend is a sociopath who solves crimes as an alternative to getting high. (He pauses for a moment.) SHERLOCK: That’s me, by the way. (He raises his left hand and waves at him.) Hello. from the wonderful Araine Devere’s transcripts for HLV, Part 3.
Even now, Sherlock is *still* riding the high from being someone’s- being JOHN’S- best friend.
