Cover: Stay in the dark too long, and you’d grow fond of the light.
Only ever given leave to have what’s sweet, you’d keep thinking about what’s savoury.
I think, at first, maybe it was just for those reasons that I fell for this person.
Summary: I’m an imperial uncle; his imperial majesty’s uncle.
New read!
Mycroft: *about duke of Tewkesbury* then you should marry her off to him. Maybe it will calm them both down a bit.
Enola and the Duke as a married couple:
-live in London
-help Sherlock solve crimes
-Enola as the new Duchess of Tewkesbury surprises everyone when she traipses into important social functions having just chased some ruffian with dirt smudged on her face and her petticoats like five inches deep in mud
-Sherlock at first is pretty sure the Duke is a “useless boy” as Enola told him but then one time his knowledge of flowers saves him from being poisoned so he’s like, okay, not so useless, I get it
-Mycroft turns fifteen shades of purple when he finds out the Duke does most of the cooking and cleaning since Enola is usually too busy solving cases. But once, Enola tried cooking for everyone and mixed the salt and sugar up so no one lets her in the kitchen anymore. He hires them a maid and cook as a wedding present and to keep the duke from “embarrassment” as he says despite the Duke insisting he LIKES cooking and cleaning.
-Whenever anyone says “Holmes” solved another case no one knows if it is Enola or Sherlock anymore, as she still uses her old surname undercover to be less ostentatious
-society women who come to call on Enola often at first don’t like her but then their jewelry goes missing or some strange mishap and when their husbands won’t hire anyone, they turn to Enola. She builds connections through her mysteries and friendships and people slowly begin to respect her.
-men come to their home thinking the Duke of Tewkesbury is the one related to Sherlock, and are often disappointed when they find out its this skinny scrap of a girl who is his wife but then when she solves the case brag about her to their friends about having used Londons most notorious Lady Detective. The Duke often gets irritated with this assumption and rants for ages about his wife being the best detective in London.
-the first time she and the duke go to a ball, they get distracted by someone’s arboretum where the duke spends the whole night naming flowers and Enola steals some out for his own collection. Mycroft is mildly scandalized as he hears rumors of them spending the evening “stealing flowers all evening at the ball” which he thinks is a euphemism and everyone else believes the young married couple snuck off to be intimate and lectures them about propriety and flowers not being taken but, in reality, the two were just honestly stealing flowers for the Dukes collection.
-one time, Enola chases a criminal through the streets of London and the halls of parliament and passes her husband there. She stops to kiss him on the cheek briefly, and is like, “what’s for dinner” and he’s all, “I had the cook put on a pot roast” then she quickly goes back to chasing the ruffian and the duke, who is with one of his colleagues finds himself being stared at wildly, and he just grins and says, “That’s my wife.”
In short, marriage does NOT calm them down. Not a bit. And its Mycroft’s worst nightmare.
seriously loving all the parallel scenes between Enola Holmes & Viscount Tewksbury vs Anastasia & Dmitri…..
ENOLA HOLMES (2020)
‘That kind of like’ I just thought wwx most probably would love to tell Shijie, how happy he is now with lwj. She will surely be so happy for him.
Miyuki: I‘ve been dropping them the most insanely obvious hints for like a year now. No response.
Sawamura: Wow. They sound stupid.
Miyuki: But they’re not. They’re really smart actually. Just dense.
Sawamura: Maybe you need to be more obvious? Like, I don’t know… “Hey! I love you.”
Miyuki: I guess you’re right. Hey Sawamura, I love you.
Sawamura: See! Just say that!
Miyuki: Holy fucking shit.
Sawamura: If that flies over their head then, sorry Miyuki, but they’re too dumb for you.
Miyuki: Sawamura.
these are actually hella cute y'all
