    Theories and Facts, or, why does the idea that Sherlock Holmes is asexual seem to be so unregarded? by

    Summary

    In the ACD stories Sherlock Holmes is canonically asexual (”canonically”, as in: it’s not like he literally says that but explaining why he’s *not* requires much more mental gymnastics than just going with what is portrayed by his words, actions, and non-interest in canon), but in pretty much every adaptation ever made, people feel the need to shoehorn in a love interest (usually Irene Adler, who honestly deserves better). [And this is despite the fact that I rather enjoyed most of the Mary Russell novels.]

    Summary

    While both of us relish danger, we each tend to rather abhor the sight of the other actively bleeding, a paradox I do not wish to have cause to marvel over ever again.

    - From the personal diary of Sherlock Holmes, collected in The Whole Art of Detection: Lost Mysteries of Sherlock Holmes.

    Summary

    Broken after the death of his beloved companion Sherlock Holmes and his beloved wife Mary Watson, Watson sheds London entirely and takes a post as a ship surgeon. It's a decent life - far away from the one he knew, and enough to fill his hours. All of that changes when the ship pulls a lone survivor of a raft onboard, and as Watson investigates the poor half-dead fellow, he finds a familiar face indeed.
