Summary
As a flash of lightning in the night shows up in an instant every detail of a wide landscape, so at one glance I seemed to see every possible result of such an action—the detection, the capture, the honoured career ending in irreparable failure and disgrace, my friend himself lying at the mercy of the odious Milverton. “For Heaven’s sake, Holmes, think what you are doing,” I cried. - Fragment from ‘Charles Augustus Milverton’, a story from ‘The return of Sherlock Holmes’ short story collection, by Arthur Conan Doyle
What if Watson’s fear had come to pass? Holmes’ and Watson’s attempted burglary on Milverton’s estate goes horribly wrong and the two men find themselves quite literally in the hands of the notorious blackmailer. They will have to rely on each other like never before to help them through the aftermath.

“Watson, do you enjoy kissing?” Holmes asked, out of nowhere.
“My dear Holmes!” Watson exclaimed, startled. He had not expected to ever hear that question from Holmes.
“I am not asking to kiss you, my dear Watson,” Holmes said, giving him a quick smile. “You know very well how I feel on the matters of marriage and intercourse.”

Tags
Summary
If Holmes had been willing to risk being shot in the head, he might have escaped. He was only confronted with one man, after all, one man holding him at gunpoint. In the past, he would have considered it well worth the risk.
Not now. Not when he knew precisely how much his loss would destroy Watson.

Practice and Practicality by EdosianOrchids901 for estelraca

Tags
Summary
“Holmes maintained a constant awareness of Watson’s condition, and at present, he was aware that Watson had been a little stressed of late. It was not due to the lack of intercourse in their relationship, for Watson shared Holmes’ lack of desire for such things, but they had perhaps gone a little too long without other forms of intimacy. Holmes had been exceedingly busy of late, and suspected that as a result, he had not attended to Watson’s need for romance.”

“What wouldn’t be fun about me tying you up and using you as a source of stimulation?”

The Hidden Soul of Harmony by EdosianOrchids901 for flowing_river
Fandoms: A Study in Emerald - Neil Gaiman
22 Oct 2025
Tags
Summary
While I could act perfectly well onstage or when pretending to be a loyal citizen, I had little illusion about the effectiveness of my masks in more intimate surroundings. Simply to manage social situations was difficult, and as I could not love, it was impossible that I should marry. Aside from the company of my brother, who I saw but rarely, I resigned myself to being utterly alone.
And then, I met John Watson.

Summary
It was evident to both Sherlock and myself from a young age that neither of us experienced love in the usual sense, nor desire. I had merely accepted it about myself, that I would always be a bachelor, living in isolation and perfectly content to do so provided I had proper occupation.
Sherlock, on the other hand, brimmed with a certain anxiety.

Summary
“Dear me, dear me,” Holmes said in the sort of tone that either spoke a minor mishap with a jar of honey, or another great war breaking out. “Watson, don’t breathe that in.”
It was far too late for that, and I coughed as the cloud of sweet-smelling smoke engulfed me.
