sanguinityAs I just said in chat to a friend: I got 221B Baker Towers for ![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
holmestice and it is fucking goddamned brilliant I have so many feelings and you will have so many feelings too:
For those unfamiliar, 221B Baker Towers is a fan-created universe, where Holmes is a young black man on a London council estate. There is no canon for this universe; just pick your fanon of choice -- or supply a headcanon of your own -- and run with it. The tumblr tag was pretty active back in 2012 but has died down to a trickle since then. There are a few tumblr-and-elsewhere works archived at AO3, but not nearly enough. I've been requesting 221BBT atholmestice for the last couple of years, ever since I first became aware of it.... oh, when making the vid, I guess.
(Did you know there's a vidder in the 221BBT fandom? There's no source in this 'verse, no source at all, and yet there's a vidder.)
Anyway, one of my major complaints about 221BBT is that there aren't enough works. So Anonymous Creator went and wrote me a collection of (mostly) one-sentence vignettes! Backstory, case fics, reinterpretations of ACD canon, character notes, moments in the Holmes-and-Watson relationship... This is someone who knows and loves their canon, and has many thoughts about what canon might look like in this specific time and place. Also, they have a ton of Holmes-and-Watson feelings, and infected me with a ton of feelings, too.
It's brilliant. And I love it. And maybe you'll like it, too.
