Summary
“My dear old man,” I said as we ambled along the cobbled street away from the inn, “we have vanishingly few opportunities in London for a pleasant ramble. Would you humour me if I said I wanted to spend the afternoon surrounded by the sights, sounds, and scents of nature?”

Summary
The story published under the title of The Empty House had a great deal of truth in it. Ronald Adair was shot through a window by Sebastian Moran wielding an air rifle. Holmes sprung a trap to catch him in a vacant building that overlooked 221B Baker Street.
But I was not by his side in that silent, brooding darkness. Indeed, had it not been for the diligence of the British press, I may have been none the wiser. For Holmes, in his haste to conclude that dreadful business, had not seen fit to inform me of his return.

Summary
It is a cold night and coal is strictly rationed. To conserve supplies and stay warm, what are two grown men to do?
“You have become rather modest. I can’t imagine the army afforded much privacy.”
“I was a lad in my twenties! I had nothing to be ashamed of and no one to impress. You can turn around now.”
Holmes turned to see Watson bundled into his pyjamas and carefully pulling on his socks. When their eyes met Watson averted his. Holmes was in the process of buttoning his nightshirt over his bare chest.
“Nothing to be ashamed of there,” he grumbled to himself.Series

The Mortal Anniversary by mistyzeo for Vulgarweed

Summary
The Mortal Anniversary; or A ghost made them do it.
For the second year in a row, on the anniversary of her death, I saw my wife waiting for me. Holmes had been returned from his sojourn to Europe for nearly a year, alive and whole though worse for wear; I had sold my practice and moved back into Baker Street; and we had begun an affair. It had been since the start of the year, and now I felt the weight of that decision like a millstone as I tried to ignore my dead wife’s presence. I didn’t regret it. Not for a moment. But I hadn’t expected to look her in the eye five minutes after I’d kissed him goodbye.
“I need to know you’re all right, John,” she said.
“I’m all right,” I said, and it was even true.
“I need to know you’re happy.”

Summary
Tumblr has seen fit to change its TOS policies regarding "adult" content, and unfortunately that means a lot of the intimate illustrations I've done over the years are no longer allowed. AO3 will now be the new home for these fan drawings.
Generally everything in this set is MSR, unless otherwise indicated. Please do *NOT* share or post these drawings elsewhere.

Summary
"The day I met Harold Stackhurst was the day I determined to cut Sherlock Holmes out of my life altogether."
Written to the following prompt:
"I still crave a fic in which Watson and Holmes didn't permit themselves a physical relationship in their London days, but Watson learns that Holmes had a long, post-1903 affair with Harold Stackhurst. That is, learns in a 'H&W are still in touch but now W is not quite sure what to think/do/feel about things' way rather than a 'he finds out ten years after all parties involved are dead' way."
