Midnight Blue

Title: Midnight Blue
Characters: Sherlock Holmes/John Watson
Rating: Teen for tongue
Links:  Ao3 | DeviantArt | Tumblr
Notes: Based on a moment in Chapter 8 of BeautifulFiction's Midnight Blue Serenity. Gorgeous and harrowing casefic with beautifully erotic moments and a bestubbled, eyeliner-wearing Sherlock. It's for a case of course, and poor John didn't stand a chance. My first time drawing a guy with eyeliner, and my second attempt at stubble. Consider this a rec. Go read the fic.

Oh, hello there sexy Martin Freeman...

Just wait until you read the fic, bb. Seriously.

OMGGGG...I have a major kink for club!Sherlock. OMG, definitely need to check out this fic, and this art is *HOT.*

[pennswoods.livejournal.com]

The way she describes club!Sherlock in his eyeliner and tight trousers and messy hair is hnnnnnnnnngggg. It's technically a WIP because the epilogue hasn't posted yet, but she's scheduled to upload that this Friday.

Things are SO FUCKING SLOW in my office today, you have no idea of the temptation to just start it right now. I mean, if the fic's already finished and just hasn't posted, it's not like I have to worry about it remaining incomplete, right?

Re: Oh, hello there sexy Martin Freeman...

[pennswoods.livejournal.com]

This is correct. She's a very consistent poster, and if you follower her Tumblr, you'll see that she's finished the draft of the epilogue and is on track for her Friday posting.

Since this is casefic, you can assume that the case has been resolved so the epilogue will probably contain bonus sexytimes and emotional ramifications.

That pic. Guh!

I think I just felt an ovary explode.

ooooooof. That beard hair is delicious. The combination of the stubble and the eye make up is just SUPER NICE YUM YES PLEASE. The colours and the pencilly-ness of it (you can tell I am good at this art-critique thing, yes? :D) are very pleasing. And I like the contrast of the softer parts such as their skin and lips, and the bolder parts like Sherlock's hair and jewellery.

But mostly I'm all about that soft, beautiful beard. ♥ This is really mesmerising!

And having read the fic I'm also drowning in feels:

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

Oh man, someone really needs to put tiny feels! running down with the water. DAMN I need to learn how to edit animated gifs.

[kizzia.livejournal.com]

I concur! I made that gif so I could have a go - it would be good practice for me :)
If it works I'll let you know.

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

THANK YOU!

[pennswoods.livejournal.com]

This is need to see!

[pennswoods.livejournal.com]

I love pencilly-ness. I think that is my new favorite word. Thank you!

[kizzia.livejournal.com]

Duly noted :)

[splix.livejournal.com]

Lovely. I dig the eyeliner. :D

[dickgloucester.livejournal.com]

Ah, you're as talented as ever!

[pern-dragon.livejournal.com]

My favefavefave part? The delicious flush on John's cheek. *purrs* Followed by: John's pink ear, the bend in Sherlock's hand, and John's tongue. Lovely, as always, darlin! <3

I am transfixed by your icon. ThrillerBatch is so damn sexy and so perfect for Sherlock in a club.

[pennswoods.livejournal.com]

*snuggles*

Europe is not the same without you in it. I hope you're having fun.

[pennswoods.livejournal.com]

And I quite like your icon - god how I love those two.

I was worried about the facial hair because it's so different from the Sherlock we normally see, so I'm glad there are people who like it.

[pennswoods.livejournal.com]

*snuggles you*

I am so glad someone commented on John's flushing cheeks and ears. I spent ages worrying over the right amount of pink and adjusting the color on the scan.

*dances around and snuggles you some more*

[themostepotente.livejournal.com]

OH, this is quite lovely. The bracelets are gorgeous <333

[pennswoods.livejournal.com]

Thank you. They're exactly what popped into my head when I read the scene describing his attire and jewelry.

[mundungus42.livejournal.com]

OH MY GOD. It's like Cumberbatch meets Russell Brand and Simon Amstell and you did the BRACELETS and the EARRINGS and GAAAAH!

*pantpantpant* *fans self*

And this is a twofold ZOMG THANK YOU because I had not read that story and have done so in ONE SITTING. *pats numb arse*

So now I'm back to ogle your piece. John's tongue makes my mouth water. You did a lovely job rendering the well-groomed stubble. That was a lovely detail of the story (the stubble-grooming) that you've made particularly luscious here, and seeing Sherlock in eye makeup is just twelve different kinds of gorgeous. Thank you for this most eloquent of recs, and I sincerely hope the author is rendered as insensible as this has rendered me.

DAMN girl. Just. DAAAAAAAMN.

I am congratulating myself on introducing this fic to people because some of the Johnlock in there is too hot not to share. UNF!

I honestly was freaking out about the stubble because I was worried this would not look sufficiently like Sherlock for people to recognize him, but it was a major part of his disguise as was the eyliner. I still want to draw him just lounging and tantalizing John because men with beautiful eyes wearing eyeliner is now my new favorite thing.

[tjs-whatnot.livejournal.com]

JESUS FUCK BUT THIS IS HOT!!!!!!!!!

I don't know what is more mesmerizing Sherlock's stubble *licks* or John's peeky little tongue!

GUHHHHHHHHHHH!

♥

[pennswoods.livejournal.com]

This comment is giving me life. I should be doing other useful things, but now all I want to do is draw porn or sexy kissing. Oh what to do...

[tjs-whatnot.livejournal.com]

Well, I don't know if this will help or not, but the thing with stubble is it lends itself well to another HUGE kink--SHAVING!

kflas;flkajsl;fa Just think about it, Sherlock's head tilted back, his Adams Apple bulging as he tries to swallow his fear, his eyes looking up at John saying "I trust you" or "Don't hurt me." As John hovers over him with a strait razor in his hands and his eyes say "Relax, I would never hurt you." or "Thank you for trusting your life with me." and of course John's tongue, his peeky little tongue will escape his wettened lips in concentration... in want...

Or somethin'...

Lalalala, go about your day. ♥
