[astronomia]

Characters: Sherlock and John; Sally makes a cameo.
Summary: Mycroft wasn't entirely right about everything. John didn't need to walk with Sherlock to see the battlefield. All he needed to do was close his eyes.
Word Count: 3557
Notes: Farrah beta'd this for me! Based on the H.P. Lovecraft story "The Music of Erich Zann." Cosmic horror lies within

Ooooh nicely creepy!

On the one hand I'd really like to read more about this thing out there and how they face it together, on the other the story is perfect as it is...

A friend has actually requested I continue it, so I may do some short ficlets and so on from this. If I do, I'll post them in sherlockbbc for sure.

Awww! ♥ Now to just pick what Lovecraft stories to borrow from.

I am such a sucker for LovecraftxHolmes crossovers. This was totally awesome! *thumbs up*

[astronomia]

I have a thing for Lovecraft's style of horror and I would love to bring it to the fandom more if I can. Thank you ♥

This was really, really damn great! I'm very impressed how you used the Lovecraft story and tailored it to fit Sherlock. And the end bit with John and the clarinet, that just too sweet of him~

[astronomia]

Awwww, I'm glad. This is the one I mentioned forever ago, too. So I'm really glad you liked it.

And I couldn't help that bit. The moment needed some lightness to it.

ALSO I DON'T REMEMBER IF I RESPONDED TO YOUR ICONS. But if I didn't, they were lovely and I saved them. I love how you used their wallpaper in the second one, too.

[vampydirector]

Yep, I remembered! The moment you posted it, I was like, Ohhhh, I wonder if it's going to be the one she spoke about--and then I got to the notes and had to grin. I couldn't wait to see how you did it.

Nope, but you did now so it all works~! I'm glad you liked them~ And actually, I made a brush from the wallpaper for purposes like that! I have like...three different sizes of it ^^; (What can I say? I love that wallpaper.)

Oh HI THERE LOVECRAFT. This is glorious.

[astronomia]

There needs to be more Lovecraft in my fandoms in general, so I'm happy to bring him here.

D:
I read this at 6 am just before going to bed - yes, I'm stupid that way. I also remember exactly why I only Lovecraft's works only once and never went back to them.
I'm not sure whether to be terrified or pleased at the good read. I'll settle for the latter. Thank you!

[astronomia]

Really, I'm just honoured by this sort of response, heh. Thank you ♥
