A BETTER STORYrebs of TJLC Explained is back (YouTube) with a 7 part series - to go over everything that happened and why and how we can regain a sense of understanding from it. Well worth a view! And SO much packed into every episode!!! Also FROM A DROP OF WATER a fanfic by @victorianpining with a 'what could have been’ fix. So much lovefor sharing both of these with us!!! #a better story//#tjlc explained
Looking for other Sherlock Media? We have several discord servers running (feel free to reply with yours to join!), fan fic clubs, the Johnlock Podfic Club and more! Will try to highlight more each month.

the old russian CAM adaptation made the genius decision of focusing primarily on holmes and watson’s break in. OF COURSE I want to see these two BS their way thru a robbery for 30 minutes. why have it any other way
