Summary
The chattering masses of people he passed didn’t know it yet, but they would one day fear the half-drowned nine year old shaking from the cold and the effects of the plague.
Then again, no one knew much about Kaz Brekker. They didn’t know he wasn’t from the Barrel or that he’d once had a family. They never guessed where the rasp in his young voice came from. They certainly didn’t know why he really wore gloves. Most weren’t even convinced he was human. No one ever suspected that Kaz Brekker was deaf.
*** Basically a random story of what if Kaz went deaf from the plague. It starts sort of pre-canon and has expanded. I am bad at summaries so read the first chapter if you want to get a feel for what this story is.

Some Observations Upon the Taming of the Bloodhound by bonesfool
Fandom Sherlock Holmes & Related Fandoms, Sherlock Holmes - Arthur Conan Doyle
04 Jul 2026
Summary
In an alternate history Victorian England where some technology (most notably audio recording) is anachronistically advanced and the British Empire is starting to collapse, Dr. Watson distracts himself from his spoils of war (PTSD, a prosthetic arm, and a growing resentment towards British nationalism) by obsessively recording his very queer roommate and his very singular profession.
This is planned to be a full rewrite/adaptation of the ACD canon that engages with and hopefully subverts and has interesting conversations about the themes of British imperialism, white supremacy, crime, poverty and gender.
There will be eventual John/Mary/Sherlock but its going to take a While so buckle in. I'm putting the slow in slow burn.
