dude, this guy has the wrong case as the first one after the Return and...

i didn't realize it, but the chronology of sherlock holmes's cases and watson's life is a matter of no little debate.

well, that means i'm freer to make stuff up, doesn't it?

heh heh.

holmes/watson in canon

I dashed from my chair, threw my arms round Holmes, and together we lurched through the door, and an instant afterwards had thrown ourselves down upon the grass plot and were lying side by side, conscious only of the glorious sunshine which was bursting its way through the hellish cloud of terror which had girt us in. -from 'the adventure of the devil's foot'

Then my friend's wiry arms were round me, and he was leading me to a chair.

'You're not hurt, Watson? For God's sake, say that you are not hurt!'

It was worth a wound--it was worth many wounds--to know the depth of loyalty and love which lay behind that cold mask. -from 'the adventure of the three garridebs'

my notes on canon slashiness and a sort of partial timeline here and here in my story notes journal.

raaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay.

RingMessenger: I reckon I will have to think about that for awhile.
ZolaonAOL: You believe that? I am very happy for you.
RingMessenger: Indeed?
ZolaonAOL: Indeed it is so.
RingMessenger: Is it really?
ZolaonAOL: I think so. For real.
RingMessenger: Think again.
