Please include further details about what you’d like to receive: I love anything that’s fluffy, and anything that has a bit of angst or pining with a happy ending. Further rambling under the cut so I don’t take up a load of space!

As ever, retirement era fic makes me very happy. Canon-verse where they’ve been in love for their whole lives and have retired together is wonderful. I also love them finally getting together after they have retired, particularly in Coules-verse. I love the Coules version of Lion’s Mane, where they’re pottering about together visiting a load of places. Bees!

I strongly read Holmes as autistic, so if you could include that I would love it.

I realise that I've talked about Holmes and Watson being in a romantic relationship, but I'm also very happy with them in a QPR. I've come to realise that I am demiromantic, and I think that label also fits Holmes very well. Look, these boys can fit so much projection!

I also enjoy reading Holmes as a trans man, or having any other form of gender fuckery.

For Rathbone-verse, I love Holmes and Watson being protective of each other. Rathbone Holmes’s tendency to get into ridiculous situations gives me life. I am also a big fan of the idea that they know Polari.

If you want to use the Bonnie MacBird series, I am interested in Holmes’s relationship with Charlotte detailed in Unquiet Spirits. To me, it reads like a QPR, similar to his relationship with Watson. Anything incorporating that would be great.

I’ve been getting into Discworld this year, so I like the idea of an AU where Holmes and Watson live somewhere on the Disc. Them working with the AM City Watch would be a fun dynamic! And just think of all the interesting diseases Watson would get to see.

Do not want any references to vomit please. It grosses me out.

Special requests: No special requests this time around. Thank you for all your hard work, mods!
