Status Updates From The Case of the Disappearin...

should have ended on the "i am a perditorian" statement and having it instead end on sherlock saying "i have become addicted to you, your flair, the zest of never knowing" is wayyyy to self indulgent

Sherlock seemed to find this tea remarkably invigorating, for now his eyes sparkled and his voice swelled, vibrant, as he said, "The upstart girl is my competition, Mycroft!"

lemme say right now. i better get So much good brother hang sesh's in these "new" books in the series

this letter did Nawt need to be so long lol

"Enola," said Sherlock, "I am sorry."

"For what?" Through the bicycle spokes I made what I hoped was a comical face at him. "Happy birthday to me."

guy who just is trying to connect to his much younger sister suddenly regretting suggesting a birthday meetup bc surprise tfw your mom is dead and your sister is now a 15yo orphan

I heard a shrug in Sherlock's voice as he replies, "Bicycles she wanted, and bicycles she shall have"

so so evil that between bbc sherlock and the netflix movies it would be impossible to find fic about modern au sherlock as the awkwardly distant but still overly doting big brother to his weird creature of a sister

this would be so good if it werent for all the racism

"we should all be together for your birthday" literally say thattttt. anyways going to be a hell of a day to learn your mom is dying but c'est la vie

i love sherlock being her backup but Hate her handling this so impulsively and poorly its giving book one enola not six books of character development enola

shes already affirmed shes been to these docks before but is like hmmm who is this man im mentally referring to as squeaky why is he reminiscent to me

i Get for Narrative Purposes they wanted to have him unknowningly talk about her in front of her but i feeeeeeel like for a guy as into propriety and properness as mycroft is that talking crazy about a personal private covered up family issue in front of some well bred lady hes never met is crazy style

enola about to have an epiphany and then someone interrupts her happens sooo often lol. girl the bicycle!

and then the book is like dont worrrry sherlock is still a ~little~ racist towards the duque

sherlock said i might be a misogynist and racist towards rromani but i wont let you insult a foreign duke just bc hes foreign

like genuinely and literally why would she not wear the trousers lol

her being like "i will avoid disguising myself as a boy bc thats what my brothers would expect" good, sensible storytelling
her now being like "i vowed i would never dress as a boy" despite us being introduced to her when she was cavorting around wearing knickerbockers and such and plenty of times wearing pants would solver her problems of stealth at night: dumb as fuck !

ok obv it wasnt pertelote bc she got handled in the other book but This is where the lady she met in the first book (who did shelter her and tewks to be fair) i believe is the villain

"Might you ever so kindly sheathe Excalibur, Enola?" Sherlock suggested mildly. I did so, scarcely noticing his jesting name for my dagger as I studied the mass of white paper in my lap.

"It is my misfortune that I can never fully enjoy such scenes as the above, as I am generally fleeing whilst they occur." <- girl who just threw a cat voice

"Reading and understanding a page at a glance" ah unlike sherlocks window being healthfully open this character trait was not shared ahead of time unless right now it is being shared for layer in this book which idk

Almost miraculously, considering his usual ineptitude, Joddy appeared with a carafe of ice water and glasses on a tray. I poured, and the man accepted his cold drink, no doubt in order to compose himself as well as to comfort his hoarse throat.
So mean to joddy and for what
