Holmes is ALWAYS in bitch-I’m-fabulous mode. Let’s be honest here.

I read this post and absolutely LOVED the idea with a burning passion. The headcast this person chose was perfect since I loved Attack The Block so much, so I decided to make an AU Poster. Thank you Sophistory, I’m hooked. <3
He’s even got the DEDUCTION IS SERIOUS BUSINESS face on! I’m sold dudes.
I love that people are running with this. Seriously, I would watch the hell out of this. Just as I will always love Sherlock, and anticipate loving Elementary. I am an equal-Holmes opportunist.](http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m4zee7rZOA1qaa5wwo1_500.png)

#LOOK AT THEIR FUCKING FACES just fucking look #hers is intrigued and still slightly assessing #like ffff she really wants this she can already feel the pull of adventure #but she’s not quite sure she trusts her gut yet #she’s not quite sure she trusts him #and his face HIS FACE #HIS EYES #that is the look of LIGHT SHINING DOWN FROM HEAVEN AND CHOIRS OF ANGELS SINGING #borne softly on starlight wings a unicorn descends from the clouds and weeps a single perfect crystal tear #and that tear is joan watson #and holmes is like #oh god where have you been all my life #my soulmate my partner in crime(-solving) #my steady/brittle haunted/driven watson #and he says #’I happen to think there’s some hope for you as an investigator.’ #i can’t #i’m gone #fuck everything #this is a good death

[…] try to imagine fandom’s reaction if the next big Holmes adaptation to come along had Holmes and Watson as British, yeah - young black British men, living case to case on a council estate in a dodgy area of London. How fandom would react if Sherlock Holmes didn’t employ street kids and homeless people like trained animals to do his bidding, but instead was part of that invisible underclass; if instead of having his eccentricities tolerated~ by Scotland Yard on account of being the Great White Genius, Sherlock Holmes, BME, school dropout, and sometime addict, was regarded by the police as practically a criminal already, one more thug, one more junkie, one more dealer in the making. If he had to choose between buying the week’s groceries or palming a twenty to a bored constable for the chance to spend five minutes on a crime scene, in the hope that whoever’s under enough pressure to deal with crime rates in the neighbourhood will pay him enough for a perp to feed himself and Watson for a month or two. If the greatest threat to his safety were police brutality, or the prospect of being done for a snitch; if his arch enemy weren’t Moriarty, but the systemic poverty and inequality that has him helping out his oppressors just to get by, and that makes the other side of the law look more tempting to someone with his skills every day.
I would watch the hell out of that. I’d even write for it. What do you do with Mycroft being part of the “Establishment” then? Mycroft works at the local youth center? Mycroft as a pastor, deeply disapproving of his brother’s failure to reject street culture and conform? Hell, Mycroft IS the police? Token affirmative-action face of colour, should have made DI ages ago but is still a PC even though half the force secretly ask his help? And because they resent Mycroft, they resent Sherlock even more, fueling the rivalry? Lestrade can stay a DI, with the authority to choose to work with either Holmes but not enough authority to force everyone else to do so.
I’m curious to see how Mrs Hudson and Moriarty would work in this.
Holy fuck this would be truly awesome. Mrs Hudson could be a nice woman who occasionally makes the boys a meal or offers up a warm bed during severe weather. And Moriarty, fuck. He could be like a well-to-do man who previously was in Sherlock’s situation. He somehow moved on from that kind of life, and sees a lot of himself in Sherlock actually, but hates for that reminder. Wants to take Sherlock down, put him back in his place.
Shit, this would be bloody brilliant.
aaaaalllll stuff I want to cram into the ‘#221b baker towers’ tag proper. DAMN YOU TUMBLR.
I want this so bad. You have no idea.
