“But If Every Single Person In This World Are Expecting That God Will Save Them, Then What About God?

I swear I love how some people look at it this way because it's all things that I didn't even notice

The first time we saw YuuMori talking about atonement was in Grapefruit Pie—no one tried to repent for anything in the first chapter. But in Grapefruit Pie, Burton was suffering because his son died and he (and his wife) both feel he is at fault for letting it happen.

Maybe he was. He didn’t do anything. Was there a lot he could’ve done? Realistically, no. But he feels he could’ve done more, and so does his wife. And what helps him heal and move on and make amends with his wife is, well, doing something. And there’s a parallel to that and the Moriarty brothers in sharing their crime and sin and burden together (something that, interestingly, also sort of comes up with Sherlock and William), but it’s also a way for them to put “right” some of the wrongs.

Whether or not that’s atonement for Burton’s earlier sins is questionable. I mean. He murdered a guy; the series never argues that murder is a good thing. But it is still a way to deal with guilt, to do something with it.

In Dancers on the Bridge, we see a little bit of it, too. After a fashion, it can be laid at Lucien’s feet that Frida died. Was it really? No, but he helped bring her to ruin. And he bought her a headstone, finally, the way her coworkers wanted her to be remembered. He did something to make up for the small fault he committed in drawing her into something.

YuuMori talks a lot, in addition to atonement, about being corrupted by society and the devils on Earth. Neither Burton nor Lucien would’ve had anything to atone for were it not for the devils William wiped out, and they are sort of seen as cleansed afterward—not perfect, not quite whole, not over what they lost, but in some way having done something to repair what was broken and wrong and moved on.

But the first time the thing with atonement becomes really clear is Mycroft.

Mycroft hasn’t done anything wrong, but he works for the British government years decades after one of his ancestors committed acts of tyranny on behalf of the British government in France to make up for his family’s crimes. Sherrinford Holmes got himself killed out of his own guilt, and his own, and because he was dead he could do nothing to fix it. Nothing to help anyone. And that sin got passed onto his family and bound them to try to atone for the entire mess he created.

If we want to get all religiously Christian here as YuuMori likes to do, it’s a kind of Original Sin: something passed down because of the sins of your ancestors that taints you from birth. That’s why Christianity does baptism; to cleanse that away.

Sherlock was protected from that sin by Mycroft, who sacrificed himself in a way for his little brother, bearing the weight of their family’s atonement on his own shoulders. Someone did something for Sherlock to keep him from having to repent in a martyr/sacrificial way to save him. Sherrinford didn’t redeem himself by dying. He just passed the burden along to innocents to try to fix the damage he caused.

And when William was seen as dead, and Albert ran away from the job, Louis took his place working under Mycroft for the British government. Someone had to make up for the sins of the family, and Louis took up that burden, and Albert took up that burden, hoping to protect William from some of it the way Mycroft protected Sherlock.

Of course, that’s not how the story ended up going: trying to protect their brothers did nothing. William and Sherlock serve their time repenting for their crimes with the United States. Because no one can take on the burden of your atonement for you. The burden never leaves.

It’s always there until you take it into your own hands and do something about it.

These series is all for the bi's, gay's ,the trans and all other queer persons. I have yet to meet a person that is straight that watches this. ( I'm serious- I don't know anyone irl)

Also WILLIAM?! My man is just babygirl and I'm all in for it. His face? Perfect. His hair? Lovely. His waist? Slim as fuck. His personality? Sweet as sugar. Is he the definition of tall, blond and gorgeous from the McDonald's? Yes. Absolutely. 100%. Is he taken? Yes, yes he is. And by who..

This motherfucking man who likes chemistry and can't do math. (just like me but we won't talk about that) and his name? FREAKING DETECTIVE SHERLOCK HOLMES

OH HELL NAH MY TEACHER GOT THE MANGA'S TODAY IM GONNA CRY

Y'all I'm back and I need help ASAP! For English we need to write our own 'Ghost story' but you can't use fictional characters so like totally from yourself, but, I still want to write like a 'sherliam ghost story without suggesting that it is from fictional characters with their storyline'

So like, sherliam as ghost with the cause of their death (I was thinking maybe that they both jump of the bridge or something) but subtle and seemingly an orginal story.

WHERE ARE THE WRITERS HERE BECAUSE I KNOW Y'ALL BE WRITING ON AO3- no fr someone give me something 😭😭

Get me someone that looks at me like how Sherliam look at eachother

I love Miyuki Kazuya.

“Why can IRL people be hot like fictional characters- especially guys. It’s so unfair give us hot guys IRL”

Said by both me and @sherliam-hualian on Discord

It's my birthday y'all!

And yk what that means? It means that William and I are compatible with eachother because he's from april 1st and I'm from april 30th-

You see the connection~

Just let me live my delulu life please 😔

This is in my English book- We're learning about the Victorian era and right now it's about the slums 😭😭

Listen, to all the lovely Indians out there, I'm sorry if I offend you right now but 'Slumdog Millionaire' (even though it's from 2008-) is a knock-off version of William's backstory. Let me re-write this and explain my point.

William grew up in the slums of Whitechapel. He lived there together with his brother Louis. They found it really hard to survive in the slums. Their mother died. Luckily, William and Louis got away together.

They met Albert, and William suggested he could be the third Lord of Crime. The three of them became brothers. One day Jack- also previously called 'Jack the Ripper'- Took Albert, William and Louis and made them his apprentices. etc..

Y'all see my point? I mean, not everything is correct and you can hate me all I want but I just thought it was really cool

( Please tell me if I'm wrong because I don't want to spread misinformation)
