    Summary


    ‘We’re a couple!' John burst out, bluntly. His face was nearly twitching with rage. He hadn’t even meant to say anything, to anybody, because he wanted what they had for himself just a bit longer, for a million reasons half-romantic and half-defensive, and yet here he was, gripping Chez Francine’s thick cream tablecloth with enough force to tear it in half, suddenly wanting nothing more than to tell everyone within earshot that Sherlock was absolutely infuriating, surprisingly good at blowjobs, and probably in love with him.

    Summary

    On reading my stories, one might believe that Holmes and I have always been as we became, co-conspirators in everything. This was not at all the case. To begin with, I was a little in awe of him.

    Summary

    I was a bit puzzled, therefore, when I found the door to our sitting-room closed. There was a note affixed to it.

    For all his intensity and sometimes anguished internal life, Sherlock Holmes also had a love of the dramatic and a puckish sense of humour. Within this piece of unpublished writing, Dr John Watson has enfolded several small pieces of paper that bear the distinct handwriting of the detective.

    Summary

    221b ASAP. Dying.

    SH

    PS: Need milk.

    That was the text that sent me from Lyons, France to Baker Street, London in twenty-four hours. The punctuation and post-script should have been enough to warn me not to overreact, but I was focused more on the third word. Also, asking for milk while on his deathbed seemed like the dickish thing that Sherlock Bloody Holmes would do.

    Summary

    “I’m going to New York,” he replied impatiently. “Do you not listen?”
    “Sherlock, you’re ill,” Mycroft explained. I could hear what a strain it was to keep his voice level and low. “You are not thinking clearly.”
    “Nonsense,” he retorted. “John, tell him.”

    In Doctor Watson’s dispatch box of unpublished writing, there is a stack that appears to be a combination of papers he wrote at different times—some of them were written during a very dark time in his life with Sherlock Holmes, and others after the event. The doctor himself explains that he felt compelled to record some of his thoughts instantly, while he was experiencing this event, and the other portions he wrote later to flesh out the story. He then apparently carefully assembled them to tell a single, chronological tale. Because of this, it is apparent that he wrote the earlier pieces before he and the detective were being openly demonstrative towards one another, and the later ones after.

    The portions that he wrote during this heinous period are in pencil, which he explains, and those written later are in his familiar pen.

    Summary

    Of course, I am the idiot who followed his instructions and went to the country and ended up crouching in some gorse on a damp heath, waiting for our client to arrive.

    Summary

    I have just had Sherlock Holmes in my lap, and I adored it.

    Doctor Watson’s dispatch box contains some pieces written as reflections; as memories. And there are others, such as this one, penned in the midst of the swirl of emotions that the detective evoked in him.

    Summary

    "I was breathless with nerves and divided in my own mind. At one moment I was sure we could not continue as we had been. I must speak, or lose Holmes' trust by my silence. The next moment I felt I could never speak unless Holmes himself invited me to. Surely he must have recognized my affection; if he had not mentioned it, he would not wish me to."

    The idea for this story partially inspired by Random_Nexus' beautiful The Bee Grove. Highly recommended: http://archiveofourown.org/works/8027908/chapters/18381751

    Summary

    Perhaps it is simply because it is springtime in London, and I long for the opportunity to throw open the windows, to air out our rooms from some dreadful, noxious experiment, and to hear once more him play his violin.

     

     

    Doctor Watson reflects on his relationship with Sherlock Holmes--retrospectively.
