I've made some unexpected progress with the Outtakes series - for those who don't follow the various installments of "Beautiful Minds", it's a series of loosely connected AU-vignettes to Sherlock's season 3, set in the Iceman!verse, in which Tosh features instead of Mary Morstan.
Inspiration just hit like a brick wall last week, and now I'm seven pages into Outtakes 03, which is a somewhat eclectic mix of "His Last Vow", the original ACD story "Charles Augustus Milverton" and what my twisted mind comes up with. Since I hate what the Moftiss did in Series 3, especially concerning character development, I find great, evil delight in righting all the wrongs for myself. *g*
Also, the second Interlude to "Adventures" goes on steadily. Writing Wholock is fun, and I never thought I'd enjoy writing Molly Hooper, but I actually do. Well; my version of her. I've just spent an entire chapter on describing her flat, which was an interesting exercise. It's based on the actual, rather odd flat of a male friend, but full of what I consider Molly-ish things. A bit contradictional, but fun nonetheless. As this story features a version of Mary Morstan based on the lead character of "The Mistress of Spices", it's even funnier to write.
Speaking of which, I just realise that I've come up with three rather different versions of Mary, even if I don't count the part in which she's replaced by Tosh. John Watson should be thankful for the variety of wives I've given him. At least none of them is a murderer who almost killed his best friends. EVen though two of them *are* 'played' by Amanda.
