Spoilers a-comin' in a very vague kinda way:
A few months after the end of A Game of Shadows, Holmes asks Watson (and Mary, if you like,) to a concert. It's only once they're on the steps of the concert hall that Watson sees the posters advertising the performance of some of Schubert's works, including Die Forelle.
Que Holmes, who is determined to overcome the vividly terrifying memory of being strung up from the rafters by a meat hook (and probably just that whole, terrible affair in general,) and Watson, who knows what all this is about but is too stalwart to do anything but sit down, shut up, and let Holmes squeeze the living daylights out of his hand.

I love this. It's about time Watson was made aware that Holmes did most of what he did in GOS to protect him and Mary. And Holmes' reluctance to take his shirt off in front of Mary (along with Watson finding out about Mycroft, LOL) was a nice touch - very Victorian.
