I’m constantaly trying to reorganize myself; put my stories in order, both the original works and the fanfics.
This doesn’t mean I don’t forget things; put them aside to work on something else, to do something else. Sometimes that something else takes so long, I forget what I’ve put aside.
I unearthed a bunch of unfinished Sherlock fanfics recently, stories I hadn’t remembered I’d written. I made Jim Moriarty an Immortal in some of them, an Immortal of the headhunting Highlander variety. Nothing would madde the man who courted death and destruction, particulary his own more than immortality, or so I thought.
To my surprise, he flourished during the Immortals’s Game, especially when an obliging vampire brought Sherlock across. Jim was able to share not only eternity, but Quickening-infused blood with the man made for him.
Not that Sherlock was grateful or agreed with being made for Jim Moriarty. Strong as his bond is with his archnemesis, it’s just as strong with John Watson. In the canon as well as many a fan’s heart, Sherlock chooses John, or perhaps that bond chose him. (The dream of John matter-of-a-factly taking charge of Sherlock’s fantasy, making Jim make the fall into the falls without Sherlock is open to all sorts of interpretation, pardon my spoilers. :)) Sherlock’s bond with John brings out Sherlock’s better nature, much as the companion does with the Doctor on Doctor Who.
Sherlock couldn’t let go of Jim Moriarty, however, any more than the Sherlock who ended up with Jim Moriarty in my stories was able to let go of John Watson. I myself am torn between the two pairings, as my interpretation of Sherlock is torn.
On a related tangent, I doubt Mycroft Holmes will ever forget his little brother’s taunt about finding a goldfish. All this comes back to haunt me as I unearth these fics while still working on Haunted by Ashes, my ongoing Netflix Dracula story.
Mark Gatiss plays both Mycroft Holmes and Frank Renfield. Frank is bonding with Dr. Jack Seward as the two men figure out what to do with themselves in Haunted by Ashes, taking place in the aftermath of the Dracula three-parter. Dr. Jack Seward is a doctor, like John Watson. Unlike John, he’s a therapist.
It’s possible Dr. Jack Seward would be the perfect goldfish.
It’s worth a thought.
