UNF, THIS GRAPHIC. ANYTHING INVOLVING 7 WAS MY FAVORITE. ALSO THE BANTER LOOP. FLOWCHARTS, MAN. THEY MAKE EVERYTHING AMAZING.

In which it's 1927, and they've lived a wonderful life, but it's time for Watson to accept that it will continue to be wonderful for however much time they have left, no matter how long or short that time might be. Oh, how unutterably lovely this was. Bittersweet and tender and completely wonderful in every way.

THEY'RE PUPPIES AND IT IS ADORABLE.

In which a freak spacetime incident lands movieverse!Holmes in BBCverse for a week, wherein he proceeds to charm the pants off of everyone, but most literally John, much to Sherlock's jealous annoyance.

In which there is the epic meeting of every Holmes and every Watson, Kate Beaton style! Amazing!

OMG THE OTHER STUFF IS ADORABLE, BUT PFFFT THE COMIC AT THE ENDDDDDD, OMFGHAHAHA.

OH MY GOD BABY SHERLOCKS AND BABY WATSONS AND BATTLES OVER MOUSTACHES, I CANNOT EVEN. I THINK MY AWW MECHANISM HAS BROKEN.

Adorable~~~~~~~~~~!

OMG THEY'RE ALL ADORABLE, BUT BBC SHERLOCK AND JOHN, OH MY GOOOODDDDDDDD. XDDD

In which at first they're in an American grad school AU, and then there's a lot of familiar domestic!UST, and then suddenly they're in like, some kind of government operatives/thriller AU and anyway, a bunch of crazily compelling AU plots all mix together in a perfect storm of hilarious, heart-breaking, wonderful insanity. Basically, they're still Holmes and Watson but they say "fuck" and "man" a lot and watch zombie movies sometimes and live off Chinese food. As in every universe, they are both more than a little screwed in the head, and they love each other (deeply, helplessly, despairingly) despite/because of exactly who they are.

In which John and Watson and Wilson all meet and have a nice little Holmes/House bitching session, sharing some tips with the new guy. AWESOME.

The first two are once again, GORGEOUS. The third is hilarious, seriously, her chibi Watson is adorable.

In which Sherlock complains about always having to be the sick one in the h/c fic. AHAHAHAHA.

OH GOD SO ADORABLE I'M GONNA DIE.

In which they meet at boarding school when John Watson, prefect and school wonderboy, is assigned the task of mentoring a troubled younger student named Sherlock Holmes. Ugghhh, this fic is in no way perfect. It's hugely emotive, sometimes saccharinely so, especially in the beginning and the end, but still, STILL, it's a boarding school AU and while it succumbs to the melodrama of that trope, it never quite drowns in it. They're teenagers here, it's undeniable. Sometimes it's even endearing. The twist at the end even managed to surprise me. And seeing a young Watson and Holmes--Holmes so skittish and unpolished, Watson so poised and beloved, both of them so full of pride--is a fascinating surprise all its own.

In which Robert is a whirlwind and Jude has probably lost his mind and Susan is awesome. I have no explanation for this fic, like, it was really lovely prose, but Robert's voice here was pure insanity and while it was compelling insanity, I was lost a lot, and not in a denial kind of way like Jude, more like a "seriously, you aren't telling OR showing, give me something to work with here" kind of way. I liked it, it was scorchingly hot, but I'm not entirely sure if I loved it.

In which Watson secretly publishes fanfic about him and Holmes, but Holmes' secret is still more surprising. Hahahahaha, this was awesome.

Because Holmes totally is a rock star who starts fights whenever he goddamn pleases. OH MY GOOOOD.

Agreed.

AMAZING. I JUST. AMAZING.

Fucking awesome vid.

John Watson is a BAMF, don't you ever forget!

hoooooot

WATSON JERKIN' IT GANSTA STYLE, OMFG, IT SHOULDN'T BE THIS HOT THOUGH IT SHOULD DEFINITELY BE THIS HILARIOUS.

HAHAHA, ICKLE MORGANA AND ARTHUR, OMFG.

Hahaha, Mary in this is adorable, too.

Adooooooorable.

Adorable.

In which Mary isn't stupid, and she is perfectly content.

In which they dance around each other and watch each other and protect each other and are good and bad for each other and lead generally co-dependant lives as they figure out how to love each other. I love paperclipbitch and I love this fic.

In which Watson's playing with a poem and Holmes interrupts the process with his egotism, nothing out of the ordinary. This was just the greatest thing. They are so cheeky and in love! Awesome.

The best parody of a parody ever. "'Ooh Doctor Watson!' A Fan Fiction"

More of Holmes and Watson as hipsters. I am endlessly fascinated by this AU and I want fic.

HAHAHAHA, best follow up that ever followed up ever.

In which Holmes and Watson are forced to share a bed. Hahaha, d'awww.

Awesome!

This vid has a concept, and its also a rollicking good time. Best of both worlds!

In which they play a kind of variant on gay chicken, and RDJ gets the last laugh.

In which they are drunk and thus incoherent and handsy. Aww, Jude having a crush and just being overwhelmed by RDJ might have been sort of awkward and cliche, but here it was just irresistible. As usual, paperclipbitch hits these things out of the park.

HAHAHAHA. I love fanvids to this song, nothing about them can or should be taken seriously. For that reason, the literalness of the scenes picked actually fits here. It just adds to the delightful ridiculousness since you're forced to realize over and over that the Sherlock Holmes lifestyle parallels with this song a little too well. Till the popo shut us down!

Mmmmmmm. (Also, look at all the 4's in that post url, it's a sign!)

The strangest mental disconnect of song and fandom I've dealt with in a while, but I must admit it works!

Look at these fucking hipsters! XDD

Interview with the people who did the title and credit sequences for Sherlock Holmes. Awesome!

In which Mary doesn't know what she's getting into with this kissing bet. Ohhhh man, Mary is a lucky girl, she just doesn't realize it yet, hahahahaha.

And more where that came from, please! :DD

THEY'RE PENGUINS, OMG.

In which Robert calls out the wrong name. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. The end is possibly the best part.

In which Jude and Robert utterly fail at delivering a take with any semblance of heterosexuality.

In which Mary and Holmes are united at least in taking care of Watson. Teehee.

In which Holmes has interesting ideas about holiday gift giving. HahahahaHA, I love Mrs Hudson in this. Love the end, lolol.

In which Sherlock and Watson meet. I approve!

In which Watson and Holmes discuss the makings of a perfect union, but that's not what they're -really- talking about. Ahhhhhh, lovely, lovely sap. They are so fucking mfeo, and they know it.

In which Holmes is crazy and Watson is getting married, and neither of these things stops them from figuring each other out just in time to come to a gentleman's agreement. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH, PERFECT SLASHY CODA TO THE MOVIE. PERFECT.
