Uh, dang, thanks for these emotions??? Seriously, thanks a lot, I don't know what I was expecting but it certainly wasn't for everyone to die. Like, whaaaaat? Anyway, I don't remember anyone's names but I really liked the robot and the Asian husbands, as well as the turncoat pilot. The lead male and the lead female were alright and their deaths were the most dramatic but after everyone else died, I was like nah you guys should die too, it's only fair.

ALSO, the dude in white (Krennic?) was not cool in a really obnoxious, self-serving way.

I like Sarah! I kinda hope she sticks around, altho obviously not in a romantic context, haha. Sherlock is capable of being nice (see: taking care of Sarah, when he ran into the tourists and knocked the book out of their hands), there's something very awkward about how John flirts, and Sherlock setting up the date for John and Sarah and then crashing it was wonderful, omg. Thanks.

Anyway, still feeling Johnlock, in a very "Sherlock is an alien who values John way more than either of them actually realize, possibly definitely to an unhealthy degree, while John is like dang Sherlock is annoying but also brilliant, guess I'm sticking around forever" and before you know it they're basically a married couple and then they bang." The end. |D

Anyway, looking forward to watching the next episode!

I like Sarah, too! *g* I'm happy you had fun watching this episode. I've watched the Baskerville episode (2.02) on the weekend, and I'm still enjoying myself a lot.

Also, I've started re-reading some Sherlock fanfiction, and hee...the Johnlock I faved is all pretty weird stuff. Awesome, but...weird.

[nanslice]

Like how weird? Because this is the one I keep going back to and it has extremely dubious consent, supernatural elements, GOREGOREGORE, and dark!Sherlock, hahaha.

[dancing_serpent]

*g* The one where they first meet online as players of a MMORPG (Level 65 Paladin Looking for Group), the one where Watson is hired as a psychiatrist and Sherlock is patient on the closed ward (Mental) or the one where Sherlock is already dead and haunts 221B when John moves in (Most Ghosts are Idiots) - the first and the last one I'm especially fond of.

Also, bookmarked your link for later reading. *g*

[nanslice]

I'M BOOKMARKING ALL OF THESE.

also this one from the same author, spoilers for s04e01 so I'm not entirely sure what's going on buuuut it is also quite wonderful and I love it (but it's not very weird, haha).

[dancing_serpent]

*g* I've recced quite a few Johnlock fics over on fancake, despite it not being my favourite pairing. But there are so many good authors writing for it, so there's that.

Yeah, I'll wait on that one, then, until I've watched that episode. I'm always doing better with fic when I know the canon.

[nanslice]

Ooh, I'll have to check it out!

Haha, yeah, it's got a pretty huge fanbase! I'm super picky about how they're characterized though, so I read some of the most popular fics and I'm like welp, this isn't quite to my tastes. :(

[dancing_serpent]

Ugh, yeah. Like that AU where they are both actors or something. Hugely popular, but so very not my thing!

[nanslice]

I read the Ghost one and it was perfect omg.

[dancing_serpent]

Oh, I'm so glad you liked that one! It's one of my all time favourites. *g*

[dancing_serpent]

If you want to try something really weird (but cool), there's this fusion fic where Sherlock is really Mycroft's Daemon. *g*

[nanslice]

Oh dang, that was weird! I quite liked how the author navigated Sherlock being Mycroft's daemon and I also really like that Sherlock's feelings for John influenced Mycroft's feelings for him. I admit, I was a little weirded out that Mycroft and Sherlock ended up in a sexual relationship too; I read Mycroft/Sherlock so it's not the ship itself that I struggled with. Maybe it was because Sherlock was Mycroft's daemon? Idk.

It was good though! I remember trying to read this fic before I'd even canonly met Mycroft and being so confused, haha. It was a lot better this time around. XD

[dancing_serpent]

Funny, it was the other way around for me. The Mycroft/Sherlock made sense to me, since they were basically two halves of one person. I just wasn't sure if I should call it selfcest or masturbation. *g* The Mycroft/John thing was a bit surprising at first, but then it clicked - for the same reason.

I love (re)reading this fic. It's a great example of how creative AUs can be and still feel in character.
