Alternate Universes: Vampire/Werewolf
parody Sherlock comic by Amy Crook

Halloween is the season for dressing up as things you aren’t, and I have a 6-panel Sherlock comic to celebrate. One of my favorite patrons commissioned these comics to celebrate some of the alternate universes that the Sherlock characters get thrust into in fic and art.

This first one is fairly self-explanatory, a supernatural AU where Sherlock Holmes, pale and skinny as he is, is a fashionable vampire, and the more earthy John Watson is a werewolf. Of course, there’s every variation to be found out there, with John as the vampire or both of them werewolves or one of them really a banshee or a ghost, but this configuration is the stereotypical arrangement of species.

Each panel is colored with its own scheme, and this one (as you can see) is red. You can get a preview of the whole thing below.

Alternate Universes: Wingfic

Alternate Universes: Wingfic
parody Sherlock comic by Amy Crook

Another day, another universe! I chose to do the golden sunset behind their warm brown wings for this one, covering both orange and yellow in one panel for my rainbow of AUs.

Wingfic is also pretty self-explanatory, though there’s as many variations on it as there are authors. Sometimes they can fly and sometimes the wings aren’t usable, sometimes they’re angels or demons or just freaks of nature. Sometimes it’s just one or the other of them that has wings, and sometimes it’s a whole world full of flying humans.

Alternate Universes: Dominant/submissive (NSFW)

Alternate Universes: Dominant/submissive 2
parody Sherlock comic by Amy Crook

This one’s a bit naughty! The alternate universe posits that everyone has a “dynamic” and is a dominant or submissive, and then goes around assigning those roles to the characters and seeing what happens.

In this case, what happened was that Sherlock is a rather pushy submissive and earned himself a spanking. This is the “after” cuddle he gets once he’s been sufficiently scolded; there’s a second version of this panel that’s more R-rated below. I did that one first, and then decided that for the Etsy print perhaps a PG version was necessary.

Alternate Universes: Alpha/Omega
parody Sherlock comic by Amy Crook

It’s Thursday, so let me give you something very weird indeed — a pregnant Sherlock Holmes! I’m not sure how to explain Alpha/Omega fic if you don’t already know what it is, but it’s probably one of the most alternate of universes. You can blame Supernatural fandom for this one, really.

Alternate Universes: Soulmates

Alternate Universes: Soulmates
parody Sherlock comic by Amy Crook

For Friday we have purples, and one of the sweetest AUs in fandom: Soulmates. This is a magical realism AU where there’s some sort of mystical way that people are matched up at birth, and they have to search to find their perfect match. It takes the myth of the divided soul and puts names on people’s arms, or clocks counting down, or bits of poetry or some other plot device to show that the characters are literally made for each other.

In this case, I went for the name on the arm trope, and you can see John’s got his own wrist covered in a cuff, politely shielding his soulmate’s name from prying eyes, while Sherlock just used nicotene patches for dual-purpose covering up.

Alternate Universes: Sherlock BBC

Alternate Universes: Sherlock BBC
parody Sherlock comic by Amy Crook

And so we come to the end! I used simple neutrals and a white background to show that really, all of these alternate universes are part of the bigger pastiche of Arthur Conan Doyle’s works, Sherlock BBC. And, as Sherlock says, no matter what universe he’s in, he’s always exceptional.

You can read the whole comic here any time you like, where I’ve conveniently reordered time so the panels read in order.
