Oh. My. God. I love you. I love you so much. Their smiles. Innes with a fishing rod. Damn oh my god they look so happy. THIS IS MY OFFICIAL HEADCANON FOR THE SIXTH EPISODE. THEY JUST SAT THERE SMILING AND DRINKING THE DAMN TEA AND WISHING EACH OTHER MERRY CHRISTMAS. THERE WERE NO MURDERS.

But seriously, dear Secret Santa, just so that you realize what you have done: this is the fist Murder Rooms fanwork in four years that was not created by me. I've literally waited four years for this to happen.

THIS IS THE MURDER ROOMS BLUE CARBUNCLE.

I love you so, so much for including Innes in the picture. They're totally my brot3. Innes is a fan of Holmes stories and simultaneously a fan of Bell.

This gift just made my Christmas. It is brilliantly done (believe me, I'm a fellow artist - even if I have less skills, I still know a bloody good work when I see one), and OH MY GOD. let me smash my keyboard some more???????? I am dying to know who you are. There aren't many Murder Rooms folks out there. Can't be. *laughs like a madman, runs around smashing things* excuse me while I go and stare at their smiling faces some fucking more

I lITERALLY lost all ability to CaN??? this is a gift I'll remember for years no for life because MURDER ROOMS
I thought my Secret Santa would write ACD Holmes, and thEN

ETA: oh, and, if you tell me that you're ok with me posting it here, I'll post it?? BECAUSE fgdfklgjtlhjtr;hjtrrh

Dear Dreemyweird,

I am absolutely delighted that you liked the picture and this: "THIS IS MY OFFICIAL HEADCANON FOR THE SIXTH EPISODE. THEY JUST SAT THERE SMILING AND DRINKING THE DAMN TEA AND WISHING EACH OTHER MERRY CHRISTMAS. THERE WERE NO MURDERS." were almost my thoughts exactly, so I'm very happy at the moment!

Also, thank you so much for the prompt! I had never heard of murder rooms before I read your wishlist, but it was so very obvious how much you liked it and it sounded delightful so you actually got me to binge on this gem of a series and then flail about for a few days before I could actually calm down enough to sit down. I hope this is another present to you, because you have converted me and I am not looking back :).

Best wishes to you and have a very fun christmas!

RE ETA: Also sure, it's your present, feel free to do whatever you want with it, no taking back ;).

I cannot believe I actually managed to convert somebody???? I mean yeah there was this one anon who wanted to read the Murder Rooms book series (btw, if you are one for this sort of literature, you should totally check them out! They're very, very good), but I never heard back from them. And allow me to say that YES, YES, it's a wonderful present to me that somebody shares my love for this series <33333 can I shower you with love?? I specialize in everything that concerns the Sherlock Holmes backstory, from the real Dr. Joe Bell to all his fictional counterparts (of which there are... not many. Three, if we count the books as a separate universe), and it always saddens me that I'm the only one to appreciate all that delightfulness.

If you don't mind revealing your DW nickname, I'd like to know that, too! Though it's fine if you are uncomfortable with that. You could always PM me.

Please always remember that you are awesome and that you made me very, very happy. Merry Christmas.

:) I am really glad you did get me to watch it! I actually used your tumblr blog a lot while looking up the inspiration for the piece and just loved all the impossibly cute gifs (like the one up there actually. My Mr. Doyle, aren't we dapper looking! A bit more eggnog?).
May I also add here, that your prompt suggestions led me on quite a merry chase? While watching I was frequently on the lookout for Doyle making eyes at Inspector Warner (rather I thought, it might have been the other way around).
I thought about looking for the books, especially after I realised that the five episodes were all that we would ever get of the series and the white knight stratagem ending on such a somber note, but I wasn't sure if they would integrate well into what I had already seen. But on your word I'll look them up and see if I can find them here.
I am also quite impressed at your extensive interest in Bell the man (read the post in GC tonight) and hope you will find the biography you are looking for.

Sadly I am not on DW and my lj is quite empty these days, but I always welcome tumblr messages these days (the name in my first post).

Thank you so much and please know that it was my greatest pleasure!
Merry Christmas to you too!

i mean just LOOK
