Summary: “Watson!” my friend called. “Come to the window.”

I placed my thumb in my book but did not stand. Years together had taught me his ways, as various and numerable as they were, and I knew the friendly command for what it was: the beginning of some scheme.

Mmmm. Beautiful and very sad. I am glad we live in better times. Still not better for some, but we are heading there, slowly but surely.

Thank you! I based this on my nerves when going on a public date.

Very angst, but beautiful, i love when Watson said “Do you stop loving me the moment you walk out the door?” because I think really it is the most important part of a relationship. They love each other and love is daring in his own.

and Holmes and Watson are always daring and unafraid! but being in jail and separated have no real need for only a kiss in public.

My mother was afraid to kiss my father in public in the church so she didn't do it. Love is dare and she had all the sanctions and benedictions of social living and she didn't

simply real love is a dare

very nice study of Holmes and Watson's relationship. You really captured the fear and claustrophobia of hiding their love from society. Interesting that Holmes was the most fearful, you explained it well. And such a sweet ending.

Holmes would probably go into overthinking mode, I feel. Watson seems more steady and resolved.

That was lovely and deeply satisfying.
