Do you guys ever just remember that Watson had to fight in the First World War?
“loosing someone to death and romance are equal tragedies”
Thank you. I will just go cry my eyes out now.
Do you ever think of Holmes alone at Baker Street after Watson's marriage and. And. And Watson's things are gone. Watson is gone, and there is just this aching gap around Holmes in the flat. The dust has not yet covered the space on the shelf where Watson's books used to be. Half of Holmes's home is gone, and he cannot even run his finger along the edge of the pain because there will only be one plate on the breakfast table tomorrow (and tomorrow and tomorrow), but you can't cut yourself on empty space.
“‘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. 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.”

“Watson. Come at once if convenient. If inconvenient, come all the same.” - Sherlock Holmes (Adventure of the Creeping Man, Arthur Conan Doyle)
i don't know why but this quote just hits me in the feels. "if inconvenient, come all the same."
maybe love is about finding your way to each other even when it's inconvenient.
Um, Dr. Watson, you in a mood? 🤣
