sherlock holmes, black autistic nonbinary lesbian, has decided to bring justice to the people. i love her. she’s my hero. 

she has committed to bringing justice to the people. i like that better. okay other stuff about my hero sherlock holmes:

-self-educated bc of the hostility in the higher education system toward ppl like her, “an omnivorous reader with a strangely retentive memory for trifles” she is CONSTANTLY fucking reading 

-talented musician, with “a remarkable talent for composition” 

-raised by her high-minded single mother (i think sherlock’s mom gets into respectability politics and is maybe not very demonstrative but she and sherlock have a huge amount of respect for each other, even if she wishes sherlock would take out her septum piercing)(i think sherlock’s mom is going to be like the mycroft figure from the canon stories since my mycroft is a pompous, useless white boy)

-fell out with victor trevor shortly before leaving her university, bc he wouldn’t take “i’m a lesbian” for an answer 😦

-deliberately cultivates unflappability, because it’s useful in her work but gets frustrated by the public perception that she’s emotionless

-doesn’t trust the fucking police

-a certain quiet primness of dress (GOD!!!!!) (think tailored suits and subtle pattern mixing) 

-the dressing gowns!!!!

-sherlock is a science butch, but she also loves literature and poetry and music 

-i don’t think that girl even knows what a bra is

-she wears a lot of ties tho (when she’s not in the lab), and i’ve heard she has a considerable number of cravats

-VERY romantic with john and loves spoiling her

-so the thing about john is that sherlock is very public spirited, and most of her adult life has been about making the world a better place (even a considerable amount of her adolescence). she meets john and. she has this grumpy little person who needs her help right in the flat. they wake up parts of each other they didn’t even know were sleeping. like someone accidentally brushes your bare skin and god. how long has it been since someone touched you on purpose? they both want to heal and mend the world, and then suddenly, there’s this delightful, fascinating, good, noble, damaged person right in orbit. the caretaker instinct flares up in both of them, and as they get to know each other, they start to see how beautifully they fit together in so many other ways.
