I could be the hanged man and you could be my rope

One of the challenges over at holmesverse was to make a picspam: Choose a character from Sherlock. Then, choose a historical person or a non-modern literary figure to be the other half of a crack!ship with the Sherlock character...

It's all just faces, but let's say spoilers for all of Sherlock and Merlin.



I had a few thoughts about where I wanted to go with this one. Originally I wanted to do an 'odd couple' thing with Moriarty and the Master from Doctor Who. But in the end, I decided on a hot-ass, bat-shit crazy Irish couple: Moriarty and Morgana (from Merlin, played by the gorgeous Katie McGrath).



So, somehow Moriarty goes back in time. He meets Morgana. He deduces she's a witch and seduces her in order to use her. However she has become stronger and smarter since we've seen her last and she uses her powers to keep Moriarty in check. They both need each other. Moriarty has the brains and Morgana has the power. While both of them struggle for dominance in their relationship, they accidentally fall in love. Moriarty studies magic texts and crap and together they find a way back to the future (aka now). Up next for the happy couple? Plans for world domination, of course!

Wow! This is gorgeous - I love the colors and textures!

And yes, these two would be total Team BatShitCrazy, in an awesome way!

[spacemonkeyluvn.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

The problem with crack!pairings is that they start to make sense after a while :D

[from-the-corner.livejournal.com]

This is brilliant. Both the idea and the execution (I really love the textures).
I suppose then we'd need Merlin to help Sherlock =D

[spacemonkeyluvn.livejournal.com]

Aww thank you! I might have taken this whole crack!ship thing a little too seriously LOL

Ha! I'd love to see that. I think John would have to be a buffer between them though.

[from-the-corner.livejournal.com]

I'm not worried about Merlin himself. But I'm not sure John would be enough to buffer Arthur and his "Look, I'm a princess" behavior. Can you imagine how livid Arthur would be, when Sherlock takes one look at him and dismisses him as a spoiled brat? *lol*

[spacemonkeyluvn.livejournal.com]

Not gonna lie, I would pay good money to see that/read that fic. Now I'm picturing Merlin trying to calm Arthur down and stopping him from challenging Sherlock to a fight to the death or just outright stabbing him and John's just over there with his face in his hand going 'Oh God' XD

[from-the-corner.livejournal.com]

stopping him from challenging Sherlock to a fight

Not that he would succeed. After all, Sherlock now has perfectly good scimitar he could use =D

[spacemonkeyluvn.livejournal.com]

If I could write fic, I'd be all over this :D

[daphnie_1]

*oh* What a fun idea!

[spacemonkeyluvn.livejournal.com]

Thank you! Though I think I'm starting to really ship them now 0_o

[beetle-breath.livejournal.com]

Moriarty is a spoiler within himself. XD

I like! Not sure if I'm really allowed to see this (IDK how voting works) but I defintely like!

[spacemonkeyluvn.livejournal.com]

I realized that as I was writing lol! I guess I could put the little banner thing under a cut just in case. Yeah, maybe I'll do that.

Thank you! I don't think there's any voting for the picspams though, so you're good. Icons yes. Which reminds me, I gotta make my icons!

[beetle-breath.livejournal.com]

wasn't trying to snark, just kind of..being inane.

Yeah, I gotta get on trying to fill all the graphic challenges...not sure who to pair who with...

brain is saying Churchill? (this kind of nonsense I will not up with put)

[spacemonkeyluvn.livejournal.com]

No I know. But then I thought that maybe not everyone on my flist has seen Sherlock and I'd hate to spoil the fun :)

But the crackier the better!

[beetle-breath.livejournal.com]

True. I spoiled myself about Mycroft by watching TGG before A Study In Pink (whhhhhyyyy?), so the kidnapping scene was somewhat ruined for me. :(


It's a shame Mary Poppins isn't a literary character...

[spacemonkeyluvn.livejournal.com]

Oh noes! That stinks. How did you watch that one first?

I was having SUCH a hard time decided what to do/who to pick. I kind of wanted to do Sherlock and Van Gogh just so I could use caps of Benedict for both characters ;)

[beetle-breath.livejournal.com]

PBS was being weird and not letting me watch the first, and I already seen the second, so I was like meh, okay, I'll watch the third. What's the worst that could happen?

yeeeeeaaaah. oh well, at least the end wasn't spoiled!

aw, but that's cheating! XD

[spacemonkeyluvn.livejournal.com]

Ah. Well that makes sense. And true. The ending's the best part anyway. By best, I mean most frustrating of course :P

I'd like to see John with Cumberbatch!Van Gogh. He'd see something of Sherlock in him and want to help him out. Then again, with the history John has with his sister, it might be a bit too much.

I hope you end up doing this challenge. I'd love to see what you come up with =D

[beetle-breath.livejournal.com]

I have an idea (Faust/Sherlock), but I'm really bad at casting people.

I might just get completely lazy and just do Sherlock/Poirot or Sherlock/Nero Wolfe (that would be so funny to see, the one who eats nothing versus the one who eats everything, assuming it's 5 stars and prepared by Fritz)

ooh, John & Archie Goodwin. Both handlers of their geniuses.

[rosengirl.livejournal.com]

That's an unexpected yet pretty fantastic idea! I *love* your picspam and the coloring you used <333

Great job, as usual !;)

[spacemonkeyluvn.livejournal.com]

Aw thank you! Much appreciated :D

[noxika.livejournal.com]

I thought I commented on this..apparently not?

Anyway, this is BRILLIANT. I can't believe I never thought of these two before. Oo. Possible new ship alert.

I love the colouring and matching caps!
