Cover for the lovely Sherlock and the Beanstalk by @chriscalledmesweetie
archiveofourown.org/works/700665...

It’s my third 2025 Fandom Trumps Hate piece – and also part of a series of covers for the author’s wonderful takes on fairy tales I’ve made over the years.
Ink and watercolour cover showing Sherlock in Medieval clothing climbing a giant beanstalk with John looking on from above outside the frame. A title with white text in italics and red capital letters says “Sherlock and the Beanstalk”. Below are two blocks of text saying “Fanfic by ChrisCalledMeSweetie” and “Cover by Khorazir”.

“The other detective”

Illustration for chapter 1 of my Sherlock & #DeadBoyDetectives crossover fic A Study in Living. While the story can be read independently, it’s got two sequels in my Figuring Out The Rest series and will make more sense if you’ve read those.

In the background sits Greg Lestrade watching the others.
