Health And Hygiene Inspector (Class D- Small Retail Food Storage and Service) Billie Lestrade really wishes she knew how to kill vampires. This is, of course, something she’d mentioned in passing to her girlfriend when they had first started dating. It had never been brought up again when she was just Billie Lestrade. It’s brought up at least twice a week once she becomes Health And Hygiene Inspector (Class D- Small Retail Food Storage and Service) Billie Lestrade.

Her girlfriend is a little concerned. She wonders at the strange correlation between becoming certified as a Health And Hygiene Inspector (Class D- Small Retail Food Storage and Service) and Billie’s weird obsession with learning how to kill fictional bloodsuckers. And murders. Slightly concerning that she knows so much about recent (and not so recent) murders in the area. She should maybe ask Billie to talk to someone about that. Or talk to someone for her.

Billie’s mom, when asked about it, laughs uproariously. No further explanation is forthcoming.

Sherlock Holmes modern adaptation but the main characters (Sherlock, Watson, Mrs. Hudson, Irene Adler, and maybe even Lestrade) are all vampires and they’ve just been doing their thing since the time period of the original books

Irene gets to be from New Jersey like she is in canon and she’ll occasionally show up and help Sherlock with a case but they don’t ever date or hook up or anything

Edit of xkcd comic 2501: Average Familiarity. Two characters are speaking with each other. 
The conversation now reads, "Hidden Search Operators are second nature to us, so it's easy to forget that the average user probably only knows summary: string and expected_number_of_chapters: 1. And OTP:true, of course. Of course."
The caption underneath the comic now reads, "Even when they're trying to compensate for it, AO3 volunteers wildly overestimate the average person's familiarity with their site."

For anyone who hasn't seen them before, Hidden Search Operators are handy tricks you can use when you're either searching or filtering AO3.

summary: string is a generic way of explaining that you can search AO3 for a specific word that appears in a summary. You can do this from the search bar in the header, from the Any Field box at the top of the Advanced Search form, or from the Search Within Results box at the bottom of the filter menu.

Examples:

summary: Bruce

summary: "Bruce Banner"

summary: Bruce OR summary: Banner OR summary: Hulk

You need to put quotation marks around your search term if it is more than one word. The quotes make sure that the site searches for those two words together.

The other two operators listed work best in the Search Within Results box.

expected_number_of_chapters: 1 will return results where every fic has only 1 chapter currently posted.

You can use expected_number_of_chapters: -1 if you want results where every fic has more than 1 chapter currently posted.

otp:true will return results where there is only 1 relationship tag on the fic. If you want results where there are 2+ relationship tags (and no fics with only 1 relationship tag) then you can use otp:false

Lois: Consider, I give you Clark. You give me the Lasso. Fair trade.

Diana: *sigh* Lois, no. For the last time I can’t give you the Lasso of Hestia. I can only let you borrow it.

Lois: Alright. Let me think. Ah! You let me borrow the Lasso for the next sixty- no, seventy years. 😁

Headcanon

Things Lois Lane does not envy Wonder Woman:

Her friendship with Superman. Lois knows that they’re close friends and nothing more, and that her own relationship with Clark is deep and pure.

Her power and respect. Wonder Woman has earned that and more.

Things Lois Lane does envy Wonder Woman:

That goddamn lasso

Why do you even need a truth lasso Diana

Think of all the stories she could get with that thing goddammit

[Image ID: The PoemOne Source Of Bad Information, By Robert Bly.Theres A Boy In You About Threeyears

[Image ID: The poem “One Source of Bad Information”, by Robert Bly.  There’s a boy in you about three years old who hasn’t learned a thing for thirty Thousand Years. Sometime it’s a girl.  The child had to make up its mind How to save you from death. He said things like:  “Stay home. Avoid elevators. Eat only elk.”  You live with this child, but you don’t know it.  You’re in the office, yes, but live with this boy  At night. He’s uninformed, but he does want To save your life. And he has. Because of this boy  You survived a lot. He’s got six big ideas.  Five don’t work. Right now he’s repeating them to you.
