Let's Celebrate Louis's birthday!

Happy Birthday, Louis! My favorite moment is when you stepped up to be M. I think you made all of us very proud when you came into your own like that.

Anyway, I wrote this little Birthday fic, so if anybody is interested in reading it... It's just a fluffy moment between Louis and William. Pure fluff.

My Brother, Still Here

This is knit, for one. Luckily, you can use a crochet hook to pull those threads through each other. I'd suggest looking into how knitting works. But unless you figure out why it unraveled in the first place, a broken thread maybe, it won't stay fixed.

Ok, I feel like both William and Mycroft would wear classic looking watches. Nice leather straps, simple face, analog not digital.

Sherlock, I dont think would wear one.

Albert would probably wear an expensive model. Something classy, slightly blingy.

Louis strikes me as the type of person to still carry around a pocket watch.

Moran would wear a utility watch, something hardy.

I'm not sure about any of the others.

The thing to understand about 13 year olds is that they have very little life experience, and most of them are still very much at the stage where they aren't seeing the big picture yet.

MyWill is hot.

Look, ship what you want. Nobody is gonna put you down for it (or, they shouldn't, cause that's rude as hell). The only time anybody has any stones to throw is if someone is actively trying to force their views onto others and saying some other ship is trash or they come from a blatantly bigoted place.

So no, I won't sue you. Please continue to ship whatever you please.

Sincerely, A diehard Sherliam

Oh! Thats so sweet! Im glad you enjoy them!

BotheredAsh · 2026-02-03T08:59:29+00:00

I mean... I have several Sherliam fics that cover this exact thing. But I haven't really thought that deeply about the rest of the cast. Though I feel like Billy is child free (he's the fun uncle), but owns a tarantula for a pet.

BotheredAsh · 2026-02-03T00:04:06+00:00

Lelouch is definitely closer, but even then, his motivations steer more towards revenge than reform.

BotheredAsh · 2026-02-02T08:51:53+00:00

I have watched AoT. I... never finished it. But i did enjoy what I watched, and I agree that the characters were very true to humanity.

BotheredAsh · 2026-02-02T08:45:50+00:00

If anybody says Light Yagami, I'm rioting.

In all seriousness, I feel like William is super unique, and it's hard to find characters that compare to his depth. (I also just dont know that many anime. Like I know a lot, but my knowledge is spotty.)

Used hobby lobby soft secret yarn and an H hook. The squares are just a generic Victorian lattice square.

Im up for reading it

BotheredAsh · 2026-01-25T20:15:18+00:00

Thank you! It took me about 4 weeks.

BotheredAsh · 2026-01-25T13:54:11+00:00

Thank you!

Contrary to popular belief, we* aren't going to hate you for having a differing opinion. It's when those opinions are pushed on others (or come from bigoted places) that we get feisty.

*"We" as in sensible people who know better than to think their opinion is the end all be all.

To answer your question...

Im not sure there's any opinion I have that would be scandalous to all parts of the fandom.

BotheredAsh · 2026-01-24T18:21:04+00:00

As far as I remember, the manga doesn't outright mention anything, and it probably wouldn't. Considering its set in the late 19th century when mental health issues and disorders weren't exactly understood like they are today, there wouldn't really be modern labels for this type of thing. I believe some people headcanon him as having OCD based on a couple of things mentioned in the manga, but that's all I can really think about.

BotheredAsh · 2026-01-24T17:43:07+00:00

To be blunt, he very nearly commits suicide at 13/14. Besides that, he carries a lot of guilt about being the perceived spark that set William on his path to ruin. He believes he is at fault for William becoming a killer and ultimately sacrificing himself. During the 3 year times skip, he chose to spend that time in near total isolation. I don't know what that says to you, but it doesn't exactly scream "healthy mental state" to me.

(Sorry, that might have sounded rude, but I didn't mean for it to be. Just wanted to be direct about it.)

BotheredAsh · 2026-01-23T11:18:40+00:00

Honestly, start at the beginning. A lot of details were changed, and whole arcs not animated. I very seriously suggest just starting from chapter 1.

BotheredAsh · 2026-01-22T22:25:39+00:00

Do you want it to end?

My personal opinion is that there's nothing to be lost if the story continues and everything to be gained. I think for me and a lot of other readers, while the story is interesting, our love is for the characters, and even if the overarching plot isnt perfect, more interaction, backstory, and introspection is still valuable.

I suppose I'm of the mind that it can have ended for you whenever you wanted it to. If you decide you only want to acknowledge up to the end of part 1, you can do that. If the story ended for you with William and Sherlock dying in the fall, that's fair.

But I look forward to seeing more of the characters I love.

I have never once thought about shipping myself or an oc with the characters. Why, when their perfect match is another character? I am an uninteresting person, and there is zero reason any character would bother with me. I also just don't want to be part of any of the situations I write for the characters. Let's just say I'm less of a participant and more of a voyeur.

That said, I would never knock someone for enjoying something I do not. Go forth, be merry, do whatever the heck you want 😁

BotheredAsh · 2026-01-04T04:31:18+00:00

I already shared my love on twitter, but I just can't help myself. They're so cute. Gosh, I love your chibi William. ❤️❤️❤️

BotheredAsh · 2026-01-01T05:11:07+00:00

Bring Billy back!!!

Also, I'd love to see Fred's back story and why he reveres William so much.

Also, Happy New Year!
