bachin221b:songstersmiscellany:valeria2067:Headcanon: Moriarty sent this to Sherlock.This photo could inspire multiple plots! For example, it reminds me of the folk ballads, especially The Cruel Sister/Two Sisters, in which the body of a murder victim was turned into a musical instrument (usually a harp or violin in the ones I’ve seen).He made a harp of her breast-bone,Whose sounds would melt a heart of stone.The strings he framed of her yellow hair,Whose notes made sad the listening ear.When played, the musical instrument sings about their loved ones and the circumstances of their death:The very first spring that the fiddle did play,‘Hang my auld sister,’ I wad it did say.‘For she drowned me in yonder sea,God neer let her rest till she shall die,’At the bonny bows o London.Can't you see Sherlock as the craftsman who converts the dead into instruments who help him solve crimes? Perhaps to make things more exciting for Sherlock, the instrument may not always know the identity of the murderer, or is somehow limited in its knowledge about his/her killing...Oh god. That prompt. Someone write that.I could see nympheline killin’ this prompt dead. GO NYMPHELINE GO! -- source link
