    Summary

    When the first note comes, Sherlock expects it to be unpleasant. Something rude, most likely someone complaining about the chemical smell from the broken beaker on the carpet accident, or, even more likely than that, someone complaining about his excessive violin playing at three in the morning when he can't sleep, or he's just bored.

    He hardly believes his eyes when he reads the actual note that was slipped under his doorstep at midnight on a Saturday.

    'Could you play Bach's Violin Sonata No. 3 in C Major, BWV 1005 please? Preferably the Allegro. You play beautifully.'

    Summary

    It was later in the evening, as we sat by the fire in silent contemplation, that Holmes would remind me of it again. I was sat reading a book, which I had picked up weeks before and had not yet finished, as I so rarely found myself with enough time to read it between my practice and my adventures with Holmes. The very man in question was sitting across from me, smoke billowing from his pipe, as he regarded me with mild interest. I was staunchly ignoring his gaze, trying to focus on the words on the page and failing. With a small sigh, I placed the book aside and stood up, turning away from Holmes under the guise of stoking the fire. As I placed the fire poker back in its home, and turned around to face him, Holmes finally spoke up.

    “Darling, would you mind pouring me a drink?” His tone was light, and his gaze fell upon me nonchalantly, as if this were a normal request from him. Well, it was a normal request, it was the wording of it that had thrown me off. I blinked a few times, wondered if I had imagined the term of endearment, and repeated his request.

    Watson accidentally calls Holmes dear and Holmes finds it very amusing.

    Summary

    When Sherlock finds a letter in his bedroom, he doesn't expect to read the words of another version of himself from a parallel universe.

    What he expects even less is to read Sherlock Watson-Holmes at the bottom of the letter.
