You’re Mark Gatiss. As a queer youth, you adored Sherlock Holmes, your favorite film adaptation being one of the only in which the detective is canonically gay and “falls desperately in love” with Watson. You’ve always loved to write, and published a trilogy featuring a bisexual spy, along with gay erotica (which all started with the angsty H/W slash fanfic you wrote as a teen). You’re a strong advocate for LGBT rights and speak frequently on the need for more queer representation in the media.

Now you have the opportunity to co-write your own film adaptation of Holmes and Watson, set in modern times, with one of your best friends. What do you do? Go.

#first you might make Watson’s brother a lesbian#and The Woman so many other versions turned into Holmes’s love interest?#make her gay too#and Moriarty#you make him the gayest of all#(because let’s be honest#teen!you wrote that slash too)#then you take Watson’s canon wife#and combine her with canon Moriarty’s right-hand man#then have her shoot Holmes in the chest#so he not only fights his way back from death for Watson#but literally has to restart his heart#THIS IS THE ANGSTY FANFIC YOU WROTE AS A TEEN#but now you’re taking that secret notebook out from under your mattress#and you’re showing it to the world and saying LOOK#this version?#this version is fine#it’s ALL fine (tags via OP deducingbbcsherlock)
