Penitence, Paradox and Psychopathy: Why Mary is A Bit Not Good

ifyouhaveenoughnerve:

Disclaimer: I don’t intend this to upset anybody or bash anybody else’s headcanon. This is pretty anti-Mary, so if you want to avoid that, this won’t be up your alley. I’m not a medical professional and can’t give any sort of professional diagnosis. I can, however, give my opinions on what the writers and actors, who aren’t medical professionals either, could be going for.        

I’ve had Mary on my mind lately, and I went back and re-watched HLV for any clues in her micro expressions as to what she’s really feeling (given that Amanda didn’t know about her background before, I didn’t think it’d be very useful to watch for clues in the other episodes. I will use bits of the dialogue from the earlier episodes though, since the writers knew). And the more I watched, the more questions started popping up. She’s by far the most enigmatic and divisive part of the show right now. But the one consistency that I saw was that her behavior is quite psychopathic.

So I’m watching the pool scene again, the part where John grabs Jim so the sniper can’t get a clear shot.

And I figured, Jim must have had a code word, a phrase or signal that told the sniper to turn the gun on Sherlock, just like Sherlock has ‘vatican cameos’ for danger.

Captain John H. Watson M.D. of the Fifth Northumberland Fusiliers, Guardian Angel

His name is Sherlock Holmes and he is continuously on the Reapers list. As you know, Death is not easily denied so stay alert, Watson.

OMGGGG Yes! *Flailing*

Moriarty writes the best tag stories!! o/

 by the time Sherlock saw the glint of light off the sniper’s scope he knew it was too late and yet he hadn’t been hit the bullet just missed his shoulder and landed in the wall behind him Sherlock examined the bullet and could have sworn that he saw blood but upon feeling his shoulder to make sure the blood wasn’t his and looking at the bullet again the blood was gone a voice in his head that sounded a lot like his big brother’s said something about him obviously having a guardian angel but Sherlock wouldn’t believe that could be possible until many years later when he met John Watson the army doctor had a bullet wound in his shoulder right where Sherlock knew he should have been shot and had saved his life within 24 hours of their meeting (via torchwood221b)

ok, i’m not sorry ‘cause Moriarty made me cry this time *flies into the sun* D:

Sherlock and his newfound guardian angel were the perfect team. The consulting detective was just as protective of John as the army doctor was of him. Once to protect Sherlock John pretended to be him as a means of confusing a gang of smugglers, Another time John was captured by the consulting criminal and had a bomb strapped to his chest both men were willing to give their lives to stop Moriarty that day and sometime later Sherlock actually did. The day Sherlock took his own life by jumping off the roof of Bart’s hospital was the day John lost his wings, John felt them breaking the second Sherlock started to fall and he knew beyond a shadow of a doubt that he wouldn’t be able to save Sherlock this time. When Sherlock hit the pavement John felt his wings break off completely but their loss was nothing compared to Sherlock’s. In that moment John would have sacrificed his wings gladly if it meant that Sherlock could live. Not once in the days and weeks after Sherlock’s death not once did John grieve for the loss of his wings. They didn’t matter to him. The only thing that had ever mattered to him was Sherlock’s safety and he’d failed to keep him safe from harm. As far as John was concerned he no longer deserved his wings.  (via torchwood221b)

Dark!Mummy Holmes AU: Because for a second I thought this was what had happened in “His Last Vow.”

I have to say: I THINK I WOULD HAVE LOVED THIS. 

I know I would have loved this.  I’m still kind of hoping Mummy’s the one to take her out in the end.

Yes, I love it!

Holy fucking fuckballs, that is dark
