"It was worth a wound -- it was worth many wounds -- to know the depth of loyalty and love which lay behind that cold mask. The clear, hard eyes were dimmed for a moment, and the firm lips were shaking. For the one and only time I caught a glimpse of a great heart as well as of a great brain. All my years of humble but single-minded service culminated in that moment of revelation.” —Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, The Case-book of Sherlock Holmes
The fics in this series aren't necessarily connected, although I imagine them all taking place in the same mostly-canon
"filler" universe. They also are not explicit in terms of Sherlock and John's relationship—you can read it as friendship, or romance.
