I am somewhat oddly proud of this fic? Because the first several attempts at it (at both the Reichenbach interpretation and the crossover) did not go over too well. I did not cry writing it because, of course, Sherlock is not dead. Joan (along with everybody else) just thinks he is.

I am not at all caught up with Elementary though and I got spoiled on some of the episodes looking at Castle/Elementary gifsets on Tumblr (OOOOOOMGGG SOMETHING HORRIBLE HAPPENS TO [CHARACTER] AHHHHH MY PRECIOUS BABBBBBY)

I do have some more plans for this crossover, but we shall see if they materialize.

I'm sorry I haven't been very active on here; school is making me so insane and on the verge of always being one step away from a nervous breakdown. But I can't afford any nervous breakdowns because that would require me taking a break from my life and that's not...possible at the moment.

But that's depressing so let's talk about some happy things:

I've also been tuning in to Castle and Once Upon a Time. I don't have much to say about either of them except Castle is not holding my attention all that much lately. (I don't think it's quite jumped the shark and I *LOVE* that Beckett and Castle are together...but I'm just not sure about some of the execution of the Beckett and Castle togetherness - if that makes any sense at all.) But I am loving Once Upon a Time.

"My mistress' eyes are nothing like the sun" (Sonnet 130)
William Shakespeare

My mistress' eyes are nothing like the sun;
Coral is far more red than her lips' red;
If snow be white, why then her breasts are dun;
If hairs be wires, black wires grow on her head.
I have seen roses damasked, red and white,
But no such roses see I in her cheeks;
And in some perfumes is there more delight
Than in the breath that from my mistress reeks.
I love to hear her speak, yet well I know
That music hath a far more pleasing sound;
I grant I never saw a goddess go;
My mistress when she walks treads on the ground.
And yet, by heaven, I think my love as rare
As any she belied with false compare.
