Well hello, Tumblr People! I just finished a Thing that I made for @chriscalledmesweetie as a Fandom Trumps Hate 2025 gift. It's a limerick remix of her fabulous "Mrs Hudson's Fluff Brew". It is illustrated with doodles, the like of which you might find on a middle-schooler's history notebook. I'm chunking it up so it won't take a month to post. Here's the beginning of Chapter 1! I hope you like it.

30th January

Martha, a Seer, knows fate Is not just one line going straight. She oft tries to damper The strong urge to tamper, To fix things just in the wrong state.

Our tale begins with a meeting. Sherlock and John give a nice greeting. Martha can tell They match very well. Her urge to assist them is fleeting.

That night, though, a Special Dream tells Of a future with all of the hells. An act of devotion Will put into motion A nightmare. She must use her spells!

Thank you so much, @ghostofnuggetspast! This is a masterpiece!

Everyone, drop what you are doing (unless it's, you know, holding a baby, or a grenade, or something) and go read this!

Tags under the cut.

Written for @flashfictionfridayofficial using the prompt FFF298 ~ hidden chemistry and @fluffbruary using the image paint for the month of March. I have decided to continue this fiction that no one else would like to read, but me. This time it will be RonTotoโ€™s and Amamiyaโ€™s perspectives. This is an alternate universe, no spoilers are harmed.

โ€”

Fandom(s) : Kamonohashi Ron no kindan suiri, Yatagarasu: The Raven Does Not Choose Its Master

Characters: Totomaru โ€œTotoโ€ Isshiki, Amamiya, Ron Kamonohashi, mentions of Kawasemi-san, Yukiya, Nazukihiko/Wakamiya

Word count: 1095

โ€”

B. Totomaru and Ron

TOTO WAS not in the good mood after what happened last night. Sleepy and exhausted, the skirmish with General Kitayama and the owner of the fancy ร€ la maison, Mr. Soke, was a nightmare that he didnโ€™t want to experience again. For now, the French restaurant owner declared that he and Ron as persona non grata, painting them as pitiful guests. Recalling that he used to contact them almost every day to reserve a slot for his grandparentsโ€™ 60th wedding anniversary last year as his present, it took them six months before he received an answer. He was in a deep thought when Amamiya blocked his way causing him to drop his phone.

โ€œHow long have you known your friend?โ€ Amamiya looked at Toto surreptitiously, not entirely avoiding his face.

โ€œWhat?โ€

โ€œIโ€™ve got a call from Mr. Nazukihiko Soke. He claimed that you and your friend, Ron Kamonohashi, made a scene at his restaurant and was asking me what kind of lawsuit he could file against you two unless I talk to you and scold you myself!โ€

โ€œUhhhโ€ฆ he did really call?โ€ Totomaruโ€™s hands became clammy.

โ€œWhat happened last night?โ€

@fluffbruary fun continues

Day 9 Accept | Icy |Ornament

Greg sat back and drained his glass. His face looked flushed in the firelight.

Mycroft followed suit, willing the drink and the fire to thaw the solid icy block lodged somewhere in his midsection.

"While I am grateful for your transparency, Lestrade, I will not require that level of detail regarding my brother's sexual activities in the future."

Solace and Joy, Ch. 92: "Musical" (a 221b)

extended Fluffbruary, March 2025

Summary: The morning after the opera, the boys debrief. (con'd from ch. 91)

*

What did you think of Poe?

It was โ€ฆ heartbreaking. Exhilarating. Transcendent. You?

Involving, certainly. But I kept hearing itโ€”evaluating it, evenโ€”at a distance. Through your eyes.

Then you must have loved it. I sure did. I never expected the opera to make such excellent use of his poetry.

It was compelling. Also, the composerโ€™s very accomplished. Do you still want to see it again?

God, yes. And maybe you can hear it without the filter of myโ€ฆ initial reluctance.

You werenโ€™t reluctant last night, you were fascinating. You made no secret of your reactions, and you were so caught up in it. Why were you?

Poeโ€”heโ€™s, well, the ultimate outsider, isnโ€™t he. โ€œAnd all I loved, I loved alone.โ€ Addiction wasnโ€™t his trouble, it was his response to his trouble. He gave so much to the world, and died too young to ever reach a quieter harbour. โ€”But I have a question.

Tell me.

Whatโ€™s the difference between an opera and a musical? You always avoid musical theatre, and make your dislike of it known loudly and often. How is it different from opera, really?

Weโ€™ll talk about it after weโ€™ve seen it again.

Youโ€™re putting me off. There isnโ€™t any difference, is there.

Isnโ€™t anyโ€”John! Iโ€™ll get the tickets.

And then get some for Beetlejuice.

As June runs into warm July...

Drarry drabble 18 for @fluffbruary's prompt, tree. Title from Wendy Cope's poem, From June to December - Summer Villanelle.

Itโ€™s late, the evening sun ripe like an orange and casting shadows over Harryโ€™s freckled back. Heโ€™s sprawled under the willow, drowning in heliophilic haze. Has been since noon.

When I nudge him with a bare foot, he smiles, all shiny teeth and soft crowโ€™s feet. Itโ€™s easy to take his hand, to collapse into his side, sweaty and languorous, while he plays with my hair and I trace circles over his bony knees.

โ€œDonโ€™t wanna move.โ€ His voice crawls out of him, slow and laden from the heat.ย 

โ€œThen donโ€™t.โ€ Because the world can wait for this, for us.

This, and the rest of the drabbles are on AO3.

Another double post in the tardiest @fluffbruary tale.

Day 7 Hand | Curls | Pattern

Greg peeked around the kitchen doorway at the pair on the sofa. John had rolled beneath Sherlock. One hand was threading through Sherlockโ€™s curls and the other was having surprising success in opening the tiny buttons on Sherlockโ€™s shirt. Greg watched for a moment, impressed at the dexterity. Surgeon's hands, his mind offered.

Greg pulled his head out of the doorway and leant on the back of a chair, trying to tease out the tangle of emotion in his chest. It wasn't that he was jealous of them, per se. He wasn't particularly drawn to either John or Sherlock, but it would be nice, a small, sad part of his mind offered, to have someone to touch like that, someone who would touch him the same way.

There wasn't anyone in his life at the moment. Dating was a nightmare. He couldn't even imagine asking a friend for a hug. He wasn't close enough to any family.
