"Then, you sleep and city walls they dissolve to dreams."
I had a great weekend! Tati and I went to the Mantova Comics convention, a tradition of ours. She went as genderbent Dean Winchester, I went as myself because I stopped working on my cosplay when I thought I couldn't go anymore because of the tooth. Next time, definitely. ;) We had a wonderful time, took a lot of pictures of brilliant cosplayers, talked to a lot of great persons, bought some wonderful things, and even attended the last half an hour of a concert.
A picture we all agreed deserved the front page. It's Sherlock and John making out while Tumblr exults. I love cosplayers. :D
This wonderful woman was dressed as Yzma from Emperor's New Groove, which is one of my favourite movies ever. She told me her daughter had talked her into doing this cosplay, and she had never done anything like it before. I showered with compliments, although to be fair I wasn't alone: there was a line of people waiting to take a picture with her! *___________*
Tati cosplaying Female!Dean in front of the local Roadhouse. Season 2 feelings! ♥
Three Gandalfs telling everyone they couldn't pass. The mop is there because they had a plastic sign that said "wet floor, don't walk". It was hilarious! They stopped the whole crowd while taking pictures, and when they finished one of them shouted "now you shall all pass!!!". It was the funniest traffic jam I had ever been in. :D
Sherlock and John from before. They were perfect, and look at the props!
Party King Thranduil of gingerhaze's fame! :D
Shingeki no Kyojin cosplayers! They're awesome! \o/
Perfect Fang is perfect. *_____________*
And now for what I bought! Drumroll, please. It's a Shingeki no Kyojin jumper with the wings of freedom insignia (and it's super soft and warm), and Bilbo's very own Sting. It's real metal, it weighs a lot, and it's the real size, which prompted Tati and me into a chorus of "Hobbits are SO small" and cooing sounds. ♥
And of course, food, because it's me we're talking about. :D
While at the convention we saw some people playing Just Dance 2014, and I fell in love with it. I bought Just Dance 4 yesterday (I'll buy the 2014 one from Amazon, it's cheaper there), and spent the whole afternoon dancing around. Today my muscles feel all sore in that wonderful way they do after a good hour at the gym. Also, it turns out I got the moves, who knew? :D

You said a while ago you´ve read a lot of different Sherlock/John (also slash?!) fanfictions... at the moment I´m reading "Performance in a leading role" (do you know the story?) And I was wondering if you could recomment me some good FFs... I fall totally in love with the characters (again) and I would love to have more (good!) stories about them. It doesn´t matter if slash or not, AU or not... just... do you have a few for me?! *__*

I've read "Performance" back when it was published, so I won't add it to the list. It should be noted that I didn't like season three that much, so all these fics were written before it. Here are my favourites in random order:
Thermodynamics (http://archiveofourown.org/series/5969) - One of my first fics in the fandom. Asexual!Sherlock, beautifully written!
A Very Cold Case (http://archiveofourown.org/works/906439) - A case that takes them to Russia, classical music, written before the second season. Lyrical and poetic, you'll love it.
The Paradox Series (http://archiveofourown.org/series/28906) - no doubt one of the best things I've ever read, fanfic or otherwise. Truly a masterpiece. Trigger warning for mental health issues, although nothing gory.
Of Ghosts and Men (http://archiveofourown.org/works/631482) - one of my absolute favourites, it's a crossover with Supernatural, although you don't need to know anything about that show to enjoy this story. Great character development, suspence, plot twists, fantastic writing, it's got everything!
Long Ago and Far Away (http://archiveofourown.org/series/12656) - Sherlock/John in the 40s. Bloody fantastic series, it's historically accurate in every way and the relationship is beautifully written and everything is wonderful.
Upon This Throne (http://archiveofourown.org/works/339258) - wonderful take on the Mind Palace.
A Study in Winning (http://archiveofourown.org/works/366788) - Sherlock and John are tennis players at Wimbledon. Before reading this I knew next to nothing about tennis, and now I consider myself an expert! :D Also really, really hot.
The World on His Wrist (http://archiveofourown.org/works/334557) - John-centric, it's a play on different realities woven together. Fascinating.
I Used to Live Alone Before I Knew You (http://archiveofourown.org/works/147622) - Good Omens crossover, but you don't need previous knowledge of that universe. Sherlock is a demon, Mycroft is an angel, John is still John. Absolutely amazing.
Fallen (http://archiveofourown.org/works/226432/chapters/343087) - The first season re-written in a mystical world with faeries and fallen angels. Think british lore, not Disney. Fantastic writing, great plot twists, I love everything about this story.
Lacuna (http://archiveofourown.org/works/248274) - John has amnesia. Really beautiful and the plot twists are amazing.
I Prefer to Text (http://archiveofourown.org/works/178012) - Sherlock and John falling in love and communicating via text messages. Sweet and full of longing.
Don't forget to check other works by these authors, they all wrote many more fics I adore, but I didn't want to make this comment implode by linking them all. :D

And Marie made this beautiful Oscar Fanart and I recognize - this is the girl I´ve met three years ago in London at the National Theatre and I was all like OH MY GOD!!! A day full of feelings for me! Also because of other things, but hell, yes!!! I wanted to say THANK YOU for all your effort to pick and link all the FFs for me!!! Thank you! <3
