How to Mend a Broken Heart

The colours seem to seep from the very air, and I view the world in black and white as my eyes take in the note you left on our kitchen table, next to a still smoking cigarette stub. No. This isn't right. You quit those habits – you said I was enough, that you didn't need them when you were with me. Have you been lying to me? My heart thuds loudly, and I feel like it is trying to climb out through my mouth as I pick up the paper. "I'm leaving. This isn't working out. I just don't feel like we're meant for each other - We don't fit anymore. I don't see the point in pursuing something that's broken irreparably. I'm staying with friends

The Sound of Falling Cat

Crackle-crackle-monotonevoice-cracke-crackle-hiss-crackle-crackle-crackle-giggle-crackle-crackle-crackle-MRAOW!-crunch-wheezinglaugh-CRACKLE. Sherlock's brows creased an increment closer together, but his eyes remained closed and he made no move to alter his posture on the sofa in any way. Whatever John was watching would be closed in a few seconds, as soon as he finished laughing, and the grating, tinny sound of a home-made clip – of what he could assume was a cat of some description - through small laptop speakers would cease, leaving him to drift off into silent pondering once again...

Listen to the Madman

Her bare feet padded down the stone hallway, her eyes focused on peering into the gloom, her feet somehow avoiding the damp patches of lichen. She drew her shawl tighter around her shoulders and kept walking as a cold breeze blowing down the corridor seemed to slip icy fingers around her far too prominent ribs. She paused momentarily, turned her head in a sharp, birdlike movement, her breath fogging in the freezing underground tunnel, but there was no-one behind her. She was alone. She continued down the hallway. The darkness of the tunnel seemed to permeate everything – it seemed unnaturally thick, the dim light cast from the torch

For Want of a Title...Ch.10

Gathering her shawl tighter around her shoulders, Elizabeth lifted the latch on the battered front door as she stepped outside, listening for the squeak of rusty wheels that she had heard from inside. Searching through the early morning dimness, she saw the dust kicked up by the postman's bicycle as he pedalled oh-so-slowly down the dirt road. Why haven't they let Mena do it? It would have saved them a trip… Her curious gaze never left the postman's slow moving form as he came closer and closer still – Elizabeth's dread gradually mounting with each house he passed without stopping down Forest Avenue. The two wheeled contraption

For Want of a Title... Ch.8

"Ma!" Mena, returning home from her bout at the Post Office, raced through the now well beaten track from the front door to the kitchen, brandishing a well-worn envelope covered in stamps and hastily scrawled directions. Elizabeth was, again, sewing, as was her habit – she had become known as the resident washerwoman and darner around Bunbury. "Ma! Look what came in today!" Mena exclaimed, very nearly blinding her mother with the letter. Elizabeth grasped the letter flailing around her head, saw the familiar scrawl of her husband, and was unable to not smile. "Call everyone in," said Elizabeth, "We'll read it together." It was a rec

For Want of a Title... Ch.7

Post was a rare and precious thing. It had been a struggle to keep any post that anyone had received in a dry place so that the precious words from family and loved ones didn't run and fade. And now it was J.J's turn. The letter had come in the post while he had been at the front, and now he had been cycled to the reserves, it had finally reached him. The envelope had been stamped with several postmarks, and appeared to have travelled hundreds of miles to find him, judging by the bent corners. The paper had been folded twice, neatly, and had Elizabeth's graceful handwriting on it, detailing all that had happened to their family unit durin

For Want of a Title... Ch.6

"That's four shillings this week, Ma!" Mena placed the last coin on top of her small stack, then scooped up the whole lot and placed it in her mothers' hand. Her job at the Post Office had been taken to with unbridled enthusiasm, and she had worked a solid hour there every weeknight, and two or three hours on Saturday, whilst it was open, which was restrained due to her mother's worry of her being overloaded. The promise of pay was like a carrot dangled in front of her nose, and she attacked her schoolwork and the piles of things to be sorted in the Post Office with equal vigour – the piles of things perhaps slightly more so because o

My Bio

I got DeviantART when I was thirteen or so and first got into my first fandom, Sherlock Holmes (Ritchies movies, books, and the BBC TV series, any Sherlock you could throw at me really)... I am now nineteen, have jumped into many varied fandoms since then, and am currently completing a Bachelor of Music at the Elder Conservatorium in Adelaide, Australia, and specialising in Classical Performance on Clarinet.
I don't go on here much anymore, and can't see much of a time when I'll come back here to stay. The art I create is more literary and auditory based anyway, there's not a lot DeviantART can offer me.
But I thought I would update to explain where I went, to those few who wondered. :)

Favourite Movies

Sherlock Holmes (2009)/ Sherlock BBC (2010)

Favourite Bands / Musical Artists

P!nk, Jason Mraz, Coldplay, and several others I haven't got the energy to name.

Emerges from the shadows briefly

0 min read

Wow, it's been a while since I've been here... But I felt the need to make a public service announcement. Firstly: No, I probably won't be making a triumphant return anytime soon. But I still (sometimes) upload stuff to my Fanfiction.net account, and I am highly active on the Tumblrs at how-very-curreeus.tumblr.com, and I also post things on my writing blog occasionally at whatcurreeusfiction.tumblr.com. (I wouldn't recommend following me because I am an actual piece of shit but it's there if you want it) Now, srs bsns. Several people have commented and asked whether I could put up the download files for the Sherlock Shimeji - but to be p

Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows

0 min read

Since everyone's doing it REVIEW FOR A GAME OF SHADOWS!!! :dummy: This is basically me brain spewing over it. Feel free to ignore it if you want, or if you don't want spoilers, though I suspect everyone who wants to see it pretty much has and I'm not spoiling anything. :meow: First off  I bought the soundtrack the day before it released in Australia and kind of knew what I was in for, but sweet Jesus. It was awesome. I went from laughing manically to bawling my eyes out over two hours of win. I even tripped down the stairs of the cinema on my way out due to the overload of wonderful things and limped the rest of the way out l

AUSTRALIA. I AM DISAPPOINT.

0 min read

WARNING: Sherlock Holmes rant ahead, involving a lot of internet yelling. I don't expect you to read it. Alright? Good. Now Australia, you know I love you, because I live here and I know that you are beautiful. However. Your release dates are unacceptable. Let me start with Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows, because it is magical and beautiful and it started what has now been three years of fangirling. I know it isn't your fault, but honestly, three weeks between us and the rest of the world? No. You do not understand. That means three weeks of me depriving myself of a free and awful online stream because I will not do that to mysel

Aw, I'm sorry. I kinda disappeared without a lot of warning.
I've come back to clean up a bit though. XD
I'm just a little bit happy about the fact that we somehow managed to get into Hetalia at the same time though. XD
