Sherlock: A Study in Locationing (6) St Bartholomew's Hospital

2012-05-22T22:01:11Z

I jumped ahead of myself as this weekend I have to do some checking up of episodes ready for the weekend following. My John, patient BF garienos and I, are off on a super secret Sherlocking location operation. I promise to make sure to take masses of photos, and that BF gets fed while we are involved too!

Have a link to the first of five posts ... at my journal ... and please tell me there is NO ONE who can be spoilered now for The Reichenbach Fall ...

[podfic]: Walk Forwards

2012-05-18T18:50:19Z

The silver-voiced Orpheus, who only started podficcing recently but is already getting some well-deserved rave reviews, has done one of my fics, to my great pleasure. She’s not much on LJ herself so I’m posting it here:

Title: Walk Forwards PODFIC
Author: pennypaperbrain
Fandom: Sherlock BBC
Rating: PG
Warnings: major character suicide
Pairing/characters: implied unconsummated Sherlock/John
Duration: 9:08
Spoilers: All six episodes, to be safe
Fic summary: Fill for a post-Reichenbach kinkmeme prompt: 'John jumps off the roof of Bart’s. Now Mycroft must tell Sherlock'. You get what it says on the tin. Not cheerful at all. ‘As wonderful as it is awful’ according to one reader on the meme, though.

Fic: Separation 7/9 (No going home)

Author: fennishjournal
Rating: NC-17
Fandom: Sherlock (BBC)

Disclaimer: Arthur Conan Doyle invented them, Gatiss and Moffat created the AU we all fangirl and that this story is based on.

Summary: After the events of Reichenbach John and Lestrade discover that there are still pockets of light in the world. Sherlock has to realise that he cannot fully control his subconscious or his emotions.
Chapter summary: There is something morbidly fascinating in contemplating his own grave, not in an abstract fashion but by visiting the actual spot. It is strangely freeing to be thought dead: There are no more expectations to disappoint, no more mistakes to make.

He is about to turn around and start the next leg of his journey when he sees two familiar figures approach the grave hand in hand. He quickly melts back into the uneven shadows of the hedge and watches as John and Lestrade come to a halt in front of the polished stone.

Sherlock POV.

Fic: Pull the Stars from the Sky (5/10), AU

2012-05-12T17:48:50Z

Title: Pull the Stars from the Sky (5/10)
Author: roane
Pairing(s): John/Sherlock
Rating: NC-17
Word Count: ~7,800 (this chapter, ~32K total so far)
Warnings: PTSD, drug addiction issues. WIP.

Summary: It’s the fall of 2000, and to help him out after his military career has ended due to injury, John Watson’s sister Harriet gets him a job as US tour manager for rising star of the industrial scene and enfant terrible, Sherlock Holmes. Sherlock’s not long out of rehab and there are plenty of doubts as to whether he’s serious about recovery. Plus, the music industry is shaking in its boots over the Napster mess. All John has to do is keep the money coming in and make sure his star doesn’t screw things up. After the army, that should be easy, right?

Author's Note: There are a lot of people who've helped with this: thanks to my fantastic betas emmadelosnardos, greywash, ardatli, and miraculousspaceship who have set me straight more times than I can count, already. Any mistakes are mine and not theirs. Also thanks to my Britpicker nichellen, and abundantlyqueer for soooo much military information and patience with my multitude of questions. And thanks to my anonymous music insider, you know who you are.

More mapmaking ...

2012-05-10T19:28:52Z

I have a lot of work to do to post all the photos (so far) taken of Sherlock locations in central London. This is about half of them, when America catches up the real nightmare begins. I also MIGHT have some from another as yet secret location if all goes to plan for the half term hols. BF garienos is learning that, like John, if he comes with me and is helpful when I do this he gets fed.

This is a small version of the map I am working from at the moment. Click on it for a bigger look, I will do smaller maps as I cover each area with pictures.

This shows how they have 'grouped' their filming sessions around certain areas. I was trying to work out why (1) was around as it was actually S2 (everything else is S1) and then I realised it drops off the bottom of the Barts and [spoiler spoiler] locations used in S2.

S1 was a lot heavier location-wise than S2 (the Blind Banker episode is an ongoing nightmare for me right now). I think the production team got wise to how much work they were involved in and cut things down a little for the second series.

(1) is where Irene texted Merry Christmas to Sherlock in Scandal

(2) is where Sherlock both jumped over the barrier and gave a £50 note to one of his homeless network in the Great Game.

(3) is the body dump actually on the bank of the Thames from The Great Game. Lovely location to visit at Low Tide.

(4) Is the graffiti area under the Hayward Gallery from the Blind Banker

(5) is the Jubilee Bridge also used in that episode

(6) Is Trafalgar Square; ditto

(7) Where a taxi passes through in that episode on the way to the West Kensington Library (not really from the location they used, but ...)

More Sherlock Location Hunting in London

2012-05-08T19:49:43Z

Over the weekend I was in London again getting quite damp, having a fight with the rain to keep my locationing laptop dry, and rather enjoying having the proper weather conditions to experience one specific location. I will report on THAT when those on the other side of the Atlantic have caught up with us in the UK. Until then I will still be playing in Series One Sherlock as there is still so much to do there.

I also caught a couple of extra locations this time, so I have remade the map of Bloomsbury.

(1) Is Speedy's and Gower Street North

(2) Is Russell Square Gardens which I shall be talking about in a moment

(3) Is the old tram tunnel in Kingsway used at the end of The Blind Banker which I came across on my trip this time and hurried over to photograph.

(4) Is another location I specially went hunting for and I can't talk about until (aptly) the Americans join us.

( Today we are dealing with John meeting Mike Stamford )
