I wouldn’t mind any of the following squicks and/or kinks: bondage/restraints, sub/dom

Please include further details about what you’d like to receive: I'm a massive fan of hurt/comfort and angst with a happy ending, but can't cope with something that doesn't end on a happy note. Honestly I'd be open for anything for the above, though some possible prompts to get ideas going could include:
  • 5 + 1 fics, especially one where it's 5 times something has upset a character/hurt them and the 1 time where it's fixed (i.e 5 times someone misunderstood Sherlock +1 time he was understood perfectly)
  • Fake dating (for a case? Pulling a 'joke' on others? To get relatives off their backs about seeing someone to avoid them getting paired up with someone? Whatever the reason, the characters go in, both pining heavily but convinced the other isn't interested. Maybe they decide to go all-out to make the most of the one chance they think they have? Maybe it's a constant battle of wanting to be close but trying not to get too close in case they give themselves away? So long as it's resolved in the end
  • Misunderstandings/miscommunication - characters having a falling out because they haven't communicated properly and now feelings are hurt/someone is jealous. It takes a third party to knock their heads together and get them to just talk, damn it
  • Hurt/insecure character being slammed by said insecurities. Character A having an awful week and dealing with something that seems to validate what that voice in the back of their head keeps saying. Examples here include: John/David feeling 'stupid' or 'useless' when it comes to cases, Sherlock feeling like he's too different for people to be able to put up with, Greg feeling like Mycroft is out of his league/could do better, or that he's not smart enough, Mycroft feeling like he's failed everyone, or is incapable of being loved. Just so long as friends or loved ones help the person see the truth by the end!
  • Characters A and B get into a major argument, A ends up saying something that causes B to look hurt/heartbroken. A freezes, but before they can apologise B disappears. Cue A trying to find a way to make it up to B, but needing to start off with finding where B has gone or waiting for them to come back

Honestly though, if it's anything that involves one or more of the above characters and either is fluffy or hurt/comfort-y, I'll almost certainly adore it!

Special requests:None, this is my first Holmestice so nothing in particular needing to be requested :)

Books - September 2025

Sep. 24th, 2025 09:22 pm
smallhobbit: (Book pile)
[personal profile] smallhobbit
9 books this month, which means I'm at 60 for the year.  Some were started towards the end of last month, but mostly this is because my local library is shut for a (much-needed) refit for a month, so I made sure to have plenty to read.

V for Victory by Lissa Evans
I read Crooked Heart last year, and this is the follow up novel.  It's set in the last few months of WWII and is just as good as the previous book, with compelling characters and an interesting plot, with the characters intertwining in very believable ways.

The Mistletoe Mystery by Nita Prose
I had the first book in the Molly the Maid series last year when it was abridged for the radio.  This book was one of the Goodreads Summer Challenge books and as there was a copy available at the library I decided I'd read it (also it's shorter than the main series).  It was obvious what was happening, but it was understandable why Molly was struggling with events.

Maigret and the Lazy Burglar by Georges Simenon
The library has some new Maigret editions, so I reserved a couple when I realised they were coming in and this was one of them.  It's set in Paris, and is one of the later books in the series.  Maigret uses his knowledge and vast experience to solve the case.

The Last Continent by Terry Pratchett
Continuing my progress with the Rincewind series.  I enjoyed this more than some of the others.  All the wizards are involved and the Librarian is present, which I always enjoy.  I thought it was good fun, set in the Discworld's version of Australia, with all the usual inventiveness.

Death and the Conjurer by Tom Mead
A modern whodunnit, although set in the 1920s.  I can see the attraction of the book, but it wasn't one which worked as well for me, but that was partly because it was a locked room mystery, which is not a genre I'm particularly keen on.

The Balkans: Nationalism, War and the Great Powers 1804-1999 by Misha Glenny
I originally borrowed this from the library, but it's over 700 pages and not something which can be read quickly, so I bought myself a cheap copy.  I found it really interesting, although I did get confused with various people.  It was something I knew little about, so I was glad to have read it.  And yes, it took me 7.5 months to finish, because I wasn't reading it all the time.  It also showed how throughout the 200 years the Great Powers only became involved when they could use it to their advantage, and that even at the end of the time they didn't seem to have learnt anything.

Small Bomb at Dimperley by Lissa Evans
I'm enjoying books by Lissa Evans, so I've set up an alert for when the library obtains new books by her.  So, when they announced they'd purchased the new paperback, I put in a reservation, and fortunately it arrived before the local library closed.  Set just after WWII, it was another enjoyable read.  The ending was possibly to be expected, but the process of getting there was neatly done.

The Penguin Book of Murder Mysteries edited by Michael Sims
If I'd realised the mysteries were Victorian ones, I wouldn't have got the book.  I had already read three of the stories elsewhere, and of those that I hadn't I only enjoyed one.  I suspect if you like the style of these early mysteries you might enjoy them, but I can see why only Sherlock Holmes remains well known (and none of his stories were included).

A Stroke of the Pen: The Lost Stories by Terry Pratchett
This was on my library list of 'to read at some time', but there was a copy in the local library, so I shot in on the last day it was open and borrowed it.  Very short stories, but all highly entertaining, and definitely appealing to my slightly 'off the wall' brain.


The Goodreads Summer Challenge finished in the middle of the month and I managed 5 of the 9 categories.  I wasn't planning on doing them all, just those which had books which actually appealed.

Please include further details about what you’d like to receive: There are so many things I'd be thrilled to receive.
1. I think it would be cool to read, watch, or listen to a scenario that's poly, where loving one person doesn't mean you can't love another at the same time. How would that work out while keeping in character? Is that even possible?
2. Alternately, I am still interested in getting art of Sherlock in his genie belly dancing clothes and mendhi tattoos as described in "Shatter the Darkness (Let the Light In)" by MojoFlower. https://archiveofourown.org/works/651740/chapters/1186409
3. I'd love a new high quality Sherlock & Co banner for the Sherlock & Co Podsters Tumblr community. It needs a pigeon in it somewhere. The pigeon doesn't have to be highly visible.
4. If you're passionate about [X] and it generally fits my guidelines, I'll probably love it.

Happy to see them as best friends or in a non-traditional relationship like a QPR! I love Holmes as aspec, especially aroace, and love aspec characters in general. Also very fond of neurodivergent Holmes, and I’m up for transmasc Holmes as well! I just really love the devotion and friendship between him and Watson in any universe, and am happy with anything from just the two of them hanging out together, to dealing with canon trauma or new trauma, to a casefic.

ACD likes/prompts: Reichenbach trauma for both Holmes and Watson, Watson’s chronic pain, Holmes repeatedly wrecking his health due to self-neglect/overwork. Quiet moments at 221B, moments together during cases, the intimacy of holding hands and hiding together while robbing someone’s house. Holmes struggling with boredom and depression between cases. Holmes and his violin. The fact that they both write, do they ever help each other with their projects? Early developing friendship, more cases together. Sussex retirement together, beekeeping, finding new interests. Holmes happily rambling about his interests while Watson happily listens. Aspec Holmes (especially aroace), neurodivergent Holmes.

Study in Emerald likes/prompts: More hunts together, day in the life of Holmes’ and Watson’s work, exploration of how they interact with this world. Worldbuilding, general eldritch horror, looks into how this society functions. Hunts gone wrong and putting each other back together (mentally or physically), blood everywhere, fragile sanity. Quiet moments between the horrors, finding joy in dark moments, keeping each other company. Watson writing plays, Holmes performing them. Is Watson keeping a chronicle of their work in this world too? How does Holmes use his deductive skills as a hunter? Aspec Holmes (especially aroace), neurodivergent Holmes.

Granada likes/prompts: Reichenbach trauma for both Holmes and Watson, dealing with fallout from other traumatic cases. Watson’s chronic pain, Holmes completely annihilating his heath because he can’t take care of himself. Holmes not wanting to eat/sleep/do commonplace tasks and having sensory/touch issues. Wrapping Holmes in lots of blankets and scarves. Early developing friendship, more cases, domestic moments at Baker Street. Holmes and his violin, scattering papers wildly everywhere, and generally having weird coping mechanisms especially when depressed. Watson getting to be a doctor while respecting boundaries. Mrs. Hudson taking care of both of them. Aspec Holmes (especially aroace), neurodivergent Holmes.

The Awakened likes/prompts: Early developing friendship and getting to know each other. Cases with or without eldritch horror (and for ones without, do they worry about what they might run into?). Holmes struggling to hold onto reality, Watson taking care of him, them taking care of each other. Cases gone wrong and putting each other back together (mentally or physically), blood everywhere, fragile sanity. Quiet moments between the horrors, finding joy in dark moments, keeping each other company. Grappling with cults and horrors and being compelled to do creepy rituals. Aspec Holmes (especially aroace), neurodivergent Holmes.

Do Not Wants: Permanent character death (temporary fine, killing minor OCs fine. Villain death great!). Focus on death-related grief/mourning (fine for presumed dead or temporary death as long as there’s a happy ending). Pet death. Sad/hopeless endings. Setting change AU (adding elements like wings etc welcome!). Pregnancy, focus on unrequested kids, breakups between requested characters. Therapy. Hospitalization longer than a week, cancer/terminal illness. Noncon between requested characters. Omegaverse. Scat, mommy/daddy kink, ageplay. Genderswap.

Please include further details about what you’d like to receive:
Do Not Want: Non-con, Permanent character death, Detailed descriptions of gore like blood, viscera, etc. Anything involving feces or urine, cheating, 2nd person POV, tragic endings

General Holmes/Watson prompts:
-Holmes & Watson having to pretend to be a couple for a case, I'm not sure quite how this would work with the Victorian era boys or the 1940s era lads, but I would love to see someone take a crack at it
-Holmes’ enemies hurt Watson to get back at Holmes. So they kidnap him, or beat him up, or something else, to send Holmes a message. You can make it a canonical enemy like Moriarty and his gang, Baron Gruner, etc, or you can make up your own evil villain.
-someone is trying to blackmail Watson. Watson in the past has written a romance story between two men, somehow someone has gotten a hold of it and is threatening to expose Watson to the authorities. Watson, knowing about the dangers of blackmail from working cases, turns to Holmes for help.
-Holmes is investigating a case, without Watson, which takes him to an underground gay men's club, he is surprised to see Watson there
-Watson gets drugged in some fashion (by accident? by some villain?) and it makes him overly affectionate and amorous with Holmes. Also, maybe cue scene after he has sobered up and poor Watson is so embarrassed, but maybe it leads to them having a discussion around their feelings for each other?
-Watson has made the acquaintance of a widow woman on a neighbouring street, and somehow Holmes has discovered that every once and awhile Watson and this woman engage in “intimate relations” i.e. sex. This greatly disturbs Holmes, but he has a hard time understanding why at first, it takes some introspection for Holmes to realize it’s because he has romantic feelings for his Watson (About the widow, I see her being an independent woman about the same age as Watson, and she has no interest in marrying Watson, they just like to have a little fun on occasion)
-Watson sustains a severe head injury, and afterwards he has trouble concentrating or experiences mood swings, or anything else you can think of, and Watson is afraid he is no longer a fit companion for Holmes

Granada prompts:
-if doing something visual like art, a vid, etc, I usually prefer Hardwicke's Watson over Burke's, not that I don't love Burke!Watson, it's just that I almost always picture Hardwicke in my head now
-any exploration of the aftermaths of "The Empty House" or "The Devil's Foot". Also I love the idea of them becoming "a couple" or just having discussions/exploring their relationship in The Devil's Foot cottage, it is such an introspective time for Holmes, and they are away from "normal" society.

Rathbone Holmes prompts:
-anything about the two of them surviving the real trials of WWII together, like The Blitz, rationing, in one film we saw that Watson had gone to the country to volunteer at a home that looked after wounded soldiers so if you would like to explore Watson's medical service that would be good too. Also, assuming in this universe Watson's army service would have been in WWI, does he have any truma or PTSD around that, and having to go through another war? Maybe going through all of this together convinces them to stop hesitating and get together.
-in The Spider Woman the villain set it up so that Watson would kill Holmes and not even realize it, we can assume that Watson found out about this afterwards, how did he feel about this? How did Holmes feel knowing that his beloved companion would be the instrument of his own death?
-in The Woman in the Green Dress, hypnotism is used on both Watson and Holmes at different points, and I really thought Moriarty was going to have Watson hypnotized and he would be sent to harm, kill, (or in my fanfic brain) possibly seduce Holmes. Also, what if Holmes had actually been hypnotized and hadn't just been pretending? How does Watson care for Holmes after he was recused from Moriarty?
-Mycroft never makes an appearance in the Rathbone films, but he is mentioned so we know he exists, show me what you think 1940s Mycroft is like

The Great Mouse Detective prompts:
-any hurt/comfort is appreciated. Maybe Dawson patches Basil up after his encounter with Rattigan, or maybe Dawson gets hurt/ill and needs to be cared for
-a villain goes after Dawson for some reason (to get back at Basil, because Dawson helped someone the villain hates, etc) and Basil goes into protection mode, no one hurts his companion!
-Dawson adjusting to living with Basil, with his constant experiments, his bouts of melancholy, etc., and maybe Basil having to learn to have a little consideration for his new flatmate. Also, how chuffed is Basil that he has a companion now just like Holmes has Watson, I'm sure he's very pleased about it.
-If you're an artist and want to show me what you think the mouse versions of Lestrade or Mycroft look like, and what their names would be, that would be delightful

Sherlock & Daughter prompts:
-Watson was so huggy and clingy when Holmes found him because he was drugged, I would love to see more of that, maybe during the carriage ride back or at their return to Baker St. Just Watson not wanting to let Holmes go.
-if you want to explore any internal angst either felt during their separation that would be great, and maybe once they are together again it leads to the two of them revealing their feelings for each other
-Holmes and Watson trying to co-parent Amelia in some fashion, like they have a young woman living with them that might need some guidance on occasion, are they good at it? Bad? Somewhere in between?

Winter 2025 Signups Are Open!

The sign-ups are now open!

Treats Policy: As of February 2022, AO3 has introduced a setting to let users opt out of receiving additional gifts outside of formal exchanges (in Holmestice terms, "treats"). Please indicate whether you are or are not open to receiving additional fan works based on your sign-up. Also be sure to check your AO3 account preferences, under "Collections, Challenges and Gifts". AO3 accounts made before February 2022 default to ALLOW gifts, whereas new accounts default not to. Because signups are not handled through AO3, you MUST turn on treat ability if you want your gift posted to AO3. More information regarding this setting is available on AO3.

If you have a Dreamwidth account, join the Dreamwidth community and create a new post using the template below with your offer and request. The template is designed to be used with the HTML editor (not the Rich Text editor).

If you do not want a Dreamwidth account, you can leave your sign-up as a comment on this post using the "Anonymous" option. If you choose to use the Anonymous option, please make sure you correctly fill in all the identifying info in the template, so we know who signed up and how to contact you.



The sign-up template below includes ratings for what you're willing to create and would like to receive. Sexual content is deliberately separated from violence and other mature themes, so if you are someone who enjoys PWP but not violence, you have an easy way of indicating that (or vice versa) for the mods and other Holmestice participants.

The template also includes a list of suggested Holmesian fandoms and iterations. This is not an exhaustive list -- if you have another fandom in mind, please include it in your sign up! Alternatively, if you're open to offering or receiving any Holmesian fandom, please feel free to say so. (Although do make clear what you mean by "any" -- very few people truly can offer every pastiche, film, television, radio, and graphic novel adaptation ever made!)

Please note when putting down relationships:
  • "/" (e.g., "Holmes/Watson") indicates a romantic or sexual relationship
  • "&" (e.g., "Holmes & Watson") indicates a friendship or other platonic/fraternal/non-sexual/non-romantic relationship

Do please make sure you're using / and & correctly in your sign-ups, as we use it to determine matches, and your match will use it to determine what sort of relationships to write for you.

Matches will be made on fandom, characters/pairings, categories, and ratings. All other details you include (besides any "do not wants") are optional; i.e., your gift-maker may take inspiration from any specific prompt you include, but they are not required to use them.

By popular request original music has been added to gift type! You can offer or request this along with fic, art, podfic, graphics, vids, etc.



Sign-up Template )




You can edit your post until sign-ups close on October 14. Anything you add or delete after that will not be taken into account.

All stories must be a minimum of 1,000 words in length; icon posts must contain at least 10 icons; vids must be at least one minute in length. Any type of fanwork is required to go through some kind of beta process. All finished fanworks must be posted to AO3 and/or sent to the mods at holmesticemods(at)gmail(dot)com on or before November 24. Directions on how to post/submit your work will be posted to the community later in the round. If you don't submit your work by the due date and have not contacted us for an extension, we will automatically look for a pinch hitter.

If you need your recipient to clarify their prompt or if you want to ask whether they're all right with that one particular thing you'd like to include, please contact us at holmesticemods(at)gmail(dot)com, and we'll forward the question for you to preserve your anonymity.

Please remember that if you sign up to receive a gift, it'll only be fair if you create one as well. That said, if you have to drop out of the exchange for any reason, please contact one of the moderators as soon as possible by e-mailing us at holmesticemods(at)gmail(dot)com so we can find a pinch hitter to create a gift for your intended recipient.

If you have any questions or concerns, don't hesitate to reach out!

New for this round: AI-generated pieces are not welcome in this exchange.
