Yessss I totally agree!! Thank you guys for making our lives more colourful and bringing a broader spectrum of imagination!! Love y'all!! <3 :-* :-*
I feel like we as a society do not appreciate fanfic writers enough. Imagine commiting to something you don't get paid for, not always appreciated, taking up a huge chunk of your time and the worst of all, some a**hole complaining that fanfic writing isn't actual writing.
So, thank you fanfic writers.

Tony: So… what's it like being married to Bucky?
Steve: Once, I asked him for a glass of water while he was pissed at me, and he brought me a glass full of ice and said 'wait'.
A/N: Okay, I love him bye I’m trash…also prepare for lots of Sherlock to come in the future bc I found my spirit animal in him lol okay bye I’m gonna really leave now…
so okay don’t expect this to be easy and quick bc he’s a mess but the fluffiest must beautiful human mess and Sherlock and emotional attachment…uhm yeah
we all know he had a small crush on Irene but slowly falling in love with you, you can’t tell me that this wouldn’t be different
honestly, he’d fall very hard for you
SO THIS WOULD BE HUGE
firstly, he’d not know what to do with his feelings for straight up half a year and think he’s sick or something, or unintentionally high or as if he had lost it
he’d always get super nervous around you and extra cocky to prove his cleverness and such in front of you, probably up to the point his crush wouldn’t be that secret anymore
basically, he’d be ALSO the smoothest charmer without noticing it
because brainy is sexy (no i didn’t just say that)
imagine you’d be Molly’s best friend (why do I stan this concept soooo much), and she’d be the first to notice that Sherlock, in fact, has a major crush on you
you’d probably be a student in London and would always join Molly at work during her lunch breaks
Molly would be disappointed at first but tbh she can’t help but ship you two
to everyone’s surprise Sherlock invited you to a case when he was at the morgue aka Molly’s working place, finding a stupid excuse to do so such as: ‘her thoughts don’t scream as obnoxious as yours when you worry about your newest date, John.’ ‘i don’t even…’ ‘…date? yeah i know it never works for you’
he calls out your name a lot, idk why but I can imagine it really calms him down and you melt every time because it sounds just that good when he says it
he’d probably secretly LOVE it when you call him by his name because yeah, but he always whines when you call him with any silly nickname you can make up even though he secretly loves it
as he likes to observe (I mean that’s pretty clear, isn’t it?) everything on a daily basis, he LOVES to observe you
he always stares at you when he thinks you won’t notice it but his stares are always so intense that they literally make you feel flustered every time
at the point where you catch him staring: ‘Sherlock, this is getting creepy’ he’d be sooooo flustered and shy and not come up with a snarky response (probably after one minute of not moving but he’s not low key at all)
HAVE YOU SEEN HIS BEAUTIFUL BLUE EYES?! okay, moving on
he probably loves to admire how your eyes crease when you laugh, how your hair falls into your face when you move or what silly faces you show him as a response to his smart ass talking
him acting like a whiny child in front of you to get your attention
probably has an obsession w your laugh and tries hard af to hear it often
as he’s soft, he’d probably start to show his affection only by defending you in arguments, bringing you food or coffee whenever you haven’t eaten/drunk anything or lend you his coat (which btw would smell amazing, I’m 100% sure) when it’s cold, or lend you any clothing because he loves the look of it
when he realizes how much you mean to him and how hard he has already fallen he pretty much tries to avoid you at all costs bc he can’t really deal w his feelings nor control them but indirectly he always seeks you out too
he cannot outrun his feelings this time
a lot of stuttering and forgetful Sherlock bc your presence is killing him AlWaYs like how did this boi solve any case at all in your presence?! how?
