shortpantsnosocks replied to your post: I really want a fic where Sherlock wakes up one morning in a mental institution and everyone tells me he’s not really a brilliant consulting detective
that sounds… pretty awesome.It sounds like I’ve been watching too much Buffy lately. But yeah, I SOO want the Sherlock version of this.
Oh my God. I didn’t know how badly I needed this until just this moment.
I’m kind of hoping that you reblogging will work as a signal boost and someone will take this on! Because I can totally see various little scenes in my head of Sherlock telling John about HIS John and Mycroft just being this middle-management accountant draining his life savings to help his brother get treatment and Lestrade was this former junkie who knew Sherlock before his breakdown and keeps encouraging him to fall back into this delusion because in this life they’re just not fucking worth anything and he wants his life to mean something even if its just in a world in Sherlock’s head.
Ack, I so did not need another fic idea right now. There are so many things I want to write in this fandom that it’s almost paralyzing! :-P
