Fic for DeeLaundry: Meeting Mr Holmes

Title: Meeting Mr Holmes
Recipient: DeeLaundry
Author: REDACTED
Verse: Sherlock & Co
Characters/Pairings: Sherlock Holmes/John Watson, Sherlock Holmes & Mycroft Holmes, Sherlock Holmes & John Watson, John Watson, Sherlock Holmes, Mycroft Holmes
Rating: Teen and up
Warnings: No archive warnings apply
Summary:
”You say that, mate, but you told me the other week that your brother may as well be the British Government sometimes, and that he’s always been overprotective of you.” John countered, “For all I know, I’ll stick my foot in it and next thing I end up ‘disappeared’!”

Sherlock’s eyebrow rose, but his exasperated face was undermined by the fond smile he was failing to hide.

-

A few months into their relationship - and since John discovered Sherlock had an older brother - the couple receive an invitation to join Mycroft Holmes for an afternoon tea. John is, predictably, anxious about making a good impression. But will he manage to do so with the mysterious elder Mr Holmes?

Holmestice gift for DeeLaundry - who asked about what this universe's version of Mycroft Holmes would be like. I hope I do him justice for you!

Summary: What started out as an attempt to learn flight of the bumble bee on the trumpet evolved into a fascination with the green hornet theme song. Although the show featured one of my favorite Martial Artist ..Bruce lee..the main attraction for me was the frentic trumpet solo performed by another hero of mine Mr. Al hirt. This song was also used in the motor cycle scene in kill bill. I was delighted to learn that they were making a movie version in 2011 starring Seth Rogen and Jay Chou..Alas there could be only one Bruce lee as well as one Al hirt. However I decided to perform this cover in tribute to Al and Bruce...Enjoy

Reccer's Notes: Two great tastes that taste great together: against a montage of thrilling stunts and snappy dialogue, trumpeter Ricardo Dowridge multiplies himself into an orchestra to celebrate his musical and martial heroes.

Theme: Amnesty, Crossovers & Fusions, FANCAKE IS FIFTEEN, Fandom Classics, Fanvids, Older Fandoms

Summary: Oingo Boingo's "Dead Man's Party" mashed with "The Nightmare Before Christmas" and "Corpse Bride." All copyrights held by original owners. Happy Halloween.
(HD re-edit from my weareactualsize channel)

Reccer's Notes: Although this repost is dated 27 October 2014, the original on White’s now-defunct previous channel dates from circa 2010. This fusion is a relentless tour-de-force of music synced to visuals synced to lyrics; Danny Elfman’s having scored both movies creates a certain built-in compatibility, and Oingo Boingo’s Halloween anthem makes for an Elfman trifecta.

Mood Theme in a Year Returns!

moodthemeinayear is coming back in 2026 with a new twist: Creating a custom mood theme can now earn you Dreamwidth points!

Mood Theme in a Year is a community that takes a laid-back approach to creating a custom mood theme. If you've always wanted to create your own mood theme (those little images that pop up when you select something from the drop-down "Mood" menu when posting), this is a great place to do it! Take your time creating graphics for anywhere between 15 and 132 moods, either following the community's suggested schedule or going at your own pace. (Though you need to make a minimum of 18 graphics to earn any paid time.)

The "official" schedule starts again from the beginning on January 1st, but you can jump in at any time during the year; feel free to challenge yourself as well with Bingo cards or the Mood Theme in a Month calendars! Learn more in the community pinned post or profile.

I hope to see you there!
