What if Mycroft is Greg’s “wife”?
(Hear me out)
When Sherlock tells Greg his wife is cheating on him, and with who, it is a different code word. Like they set up a system a long time ago to do it, cause Myc can’t always share where he goes for work or what he’s doing and Greg worries constantly so Sherlock gives him hints.“She’s cheating again”= Mycroft won’t be home when you get there tonight, he got pulled away on a mission.
“She’s cheating with the p.e. teacher”= He’s on the run, but alive.
“She won’t leave you, Lestrade, don’t be stupid.”= He’s okay and he loves you. Stop worrying.
“She slept with the grocer on her way home”=He’ll be home for dinnertime.All these coded messages so Greg doesn’t worry as much as he would with just radio silence.
All these coded messages, just to remind Greg that he is loved.

HEADCANON ACCEPTED.

No but can we talk about how the kid’s idea of a Rad Time, the way to spend their last day in the country, was basically a grown up science fair
Talk to me about Bucky being a huge nerd and lying on the floor with Steve listening to the radio for stories about flying cars and thinking about how close they are to that, poking through the paper for what new wild thing is breaking science this week
Bucky is a nerd fight meBucky is 100% a nerd. Not only did he spend his last night in the country trying to get a glimpse of a flying car, but when Steve asked him where they’re going, Bucky didn’t just tell him “we’re taking some girls to the World Exposition tonight.” No, it’s overly-dramatic: “The future!"
And Bucky was the one watching excitedly and going "holy cow” while Steve sulked in the back.
I bet Bucky made Steve go with him to watch reruns of The Mark of Zorro and Robin Hood and The Black Pirate, the first full-length Technicolor film, and when Steve was sick Bucky would bring over his battered copies of Doc Savage and The Shadow and their favourite, Buck Rogers, and they’d listen to The Lone Ranger and The Green Hornet on the radio. Bucky would’ve bought Action Comics #1 with Superman on the cover and pretended it was for his younger siblings when Steve teased him about it.
Bucky looked at post-serum Steve, a real-life Doc Savage, and asked him, “but you’re keeping the outfit, right?" Because Bucky is a huge nerd.
Okay but can I have a really lengthy, in-depth meta about Captain America and his USO girls?
Like how at first these girls are split down the middle on opinions of him… at the start, half are probably thinking this is just a job, just a gig, they’re lucky to find something this cushy during a damn war but god they’re going to have to put up with so much crap from this guy and he’ll probably be a cocky, high-maintenance diva at best or a sexist, womanizing diva at worst. And the other half is probably swooning and hoping they’ll get the chance to hop into bed with that gorgeous Greek god of a man. But the ones who flirt with him soon find he’s a stammering mess of ‘how do converse with dames?’ and soon after give up on trying to worm their way into his bunk because the guy is like a pillar of morality, won’t be budged, won’t compromise.
The girls take bets on whether he’s taken or gay, or both, to the point that it actually becomes a pool between these ladies and the stakes are pretty damn high. They could probably buy some nice war-bonds with that kind of money (snerk). So now some of the girls are probably a little bitter that they can’t be with Steve, but then one night after a show maybe some GI’s get too handsy, or maybe the Senator’s assistant tries to use his position to force one of the dancers into doing something they don’t want, or maybe some fellas got a little too drunk after the show and try their luck. But Steve’s there like some kind of avenging angel, tells the guys to back off, show some respect, no means no. When one sleazeball puts his hand up one of those red-and-white skirts without permission, he clocks the guy so hard he loses three teeth.
After that, the girls collectively just adore him. He’s usually pensive and keeps to himself, reading alone in his room instead of partying and picking up dames, even though they all know he could. He doesn’t drink (even before he knew the serum meant he couldn’t get drunk), but he does offer to escort the ladies back to their rooms after he sees first hand what they deal with on a daily basis. In return, when they see Steve being accosted by a particularly determined gal trying to get into his pants, and he really is just too much of a gentleman to give firm no and walk the hell away, they flutter around him all doting and smiles and accost him back to the hotel. He gives them that little sheepish grin and all his gratitude, and yeah, they have to admit they were completely wrong about him.
Steve Rogers in the modern day being completely supportive of all performers, being a very vocal feminist, and maybe even taking a shine to Stark’s Ironettes. Just not quite in the way Tony does (and maybe he tells Tony to be a little more respectful of his dancers… after all, they’re just trying to make a living).
#OH MAN#WHY HAVE THE IRONETTES NEVER BEEN STEVE’S POSSE IN A FIC#THEY WOULD TOTES BE HIS POSSE#CAN YOU JUST IMAGINE#because those are some women who are used to the absolute worst behavior from the males around them#they knew tony before his come to jesus moment for crissake#i bet pepper and rhodey have both had slap around some restraining orders for douchebags rich assholes at tony’s parties#and then steve comes along#and he’s sheepish but also all MA’AM IS HE BOTHERING YOU#and then on top of that he can do this one girl’s makeup when she sprains her wrist#and knows how to take care of one of those waffle-shaped burns you get when you slide infishnets the wrong way#and then a hop skip and a jump later and there are hot ladies helping steve paint his bathroom#and playing charades on a saturday night (via ifeelbetterer)
Headcanon: Mrs. Turner’s married ones are Sherlock and John from the future. The atomic bombing on WWIII made London inhabitable. Mycroft, of course, was able to get our gay babies to safety before the bomb hit. When the men were left sadly pining for their lost home and landlady, Mycroft let them in on the extremely classified information of time travel so they could return to London. So as to not be too suspicious, when they return to their past, they move in next door to their beloved flat.
UM THAT’S AMAZING ??? imagine future John and Sherlock wanting to kick some sense into their current selves and get them together, but they also can’t be seen by them, so they plan all these elaborate rom com hijinks but all their plans always somehow backfire
Jack Harkness and Castiel like to switch coats and stand around quietly in the background during team planning, waiting to be called the wrong name.
Only the Doctor seems immune to these shenanigans.
#castiel doesn’t like to give jack’s coat back #it makes him feel swoopier
